Chapter 400 Meeting Michael

I pried Michael’s hands away from me and regarded him impassively.

“Why, are you disappointed to see me?”

A slight smile remained on my lips, but the words out of my mouth were chilly.

Probably sensing something amiss from my tone, Michael frowned slightly, and puzzlement showed in his gaze.

“What’s wrong, Anna? You’re finally back! Where have you been in the past year? Do you know I’d been searching for you almost every day?”

He clutched my shoulders once more, his voice carrying a touch of urgency.

At the sight of the delight and anxiety in his eyes, my heart skipped a beat. For a moment, I wobbled, but I soon remembered how I had been spending each day in torment during the past year and having daily nightmares about my child crying incessantly. At once, hatred surged within me once more.

“Searching for me? Hah! You’re the one who wished that I’d leave the most, no?”

I looked at him with mockery written all over my face.

Back then, he made up an excuse of going abroad just to have a divorce from me and had his father hand me the divorce agreement. Then, he forbade me from seeing my child after taking him away. Yet, he was brazen enough to tell me that he had been searching for me every day. I could not help but wonder why he did not find his own words ridiculous.

“What are you talking about? Do you know that I thought I was dreaming when I saw you earlier? Even in my dreams, I’d hoped that you would return to my side every single day. But now, you’re finally back! From now on, I’ll never allow you to leave me again!” Michael gushed emotionally.
