Chapter 374 An Unwelcome Call

I wanted to sit up and straighten out my clothes. Just then, Michael removed his coat and placed it over me. He then gently coaxed me to recline and rest.

After that, he got into the driver’s seat and drove us home, leaving the chauffeur behind.

Confused, I asked, “Michael, what about the chauffeur?”

The chauffeur had been waiting for half a day. Michael didn’t forget about him, right?

“He’ll be fine. He can get himself home,” Michael replied curtly. He continued driving steadily, seemingly unconcerned over ditching the chauffeur.

I sighed in resignation as I stared at his profile.

“Still, that can’t be nice of us; he waited for half a day.”

Unlike Michael, I was a softie through and through, and I was uncomfortable about leaving the chauffeur behind to fend for himself.

Michael’s tone left no room for argument as he gritted out, “How can I let someone else in the car with my wife looking like this?”

He stared at me briefly, and I read the determination in his gaze.

I returned his gaze wordlessly, only realizing that Michael’s possessiveness had fueled his earlier decision to leave the chauffeur behind.
