Chapter 436 The Call From Lincoln

I tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep. When I woke up the following morning, Michael’s side of the bed was already empty, just like how it was the day before. For some reason, that made me sad.

I recalled what he told me last night and felt conflicting emotions warring within me.

Then, I checked my phone, hoping that he had sent a message. I could not help but feel disappointed when I saw that there was none.

In the next few days, Michael still did not appear before me. It made me feel both relieved and a little sad.

Ever since that night, he seemed to have disappeared from my life. It felt like we had returned to being strangers again.

Previously, we agreed to meet in Birchwood every Friday so that I could see Amaury. On Friday evening, I came to Birchwood again. However, Michael did not show up. It was the nanny who brought Amaury there.

I searched the house, hoping to find him somewhere. Once I confirmed that he was nowhere to be seen, I felt even more dejected.

“Ms. Garcia, Mr. Shaw is unable to come here today. So, he asked me to bring Amaury here,” the nanny explained as she brought Amaury to me. She seemed to have guessed what I was thinking.

Her words confirmed that Michael would not be coming here. Although I felt kind of disappointed, I did not show it on my face.

I accepted Amaury from the nanny. Perhaps due to our previous meeting, Amaury seemed quite comfortable with me. He even smiled at me.
