Love Her to No End

Chapter 27 Happy And Safe

The moon hung high in the dead of night, enhanced by the twinkling stars around it.

The autumn breeze rustled the curtains, bringing along a trace of coolness and chasing away the heat of the day bit by bit. Nevertheless, the breeze had no effect on the dark clouds in Michaela’s mind.

The “atoning” gifts that Jacob bought piled miserably in the corner of the room. Ever since Jacob revealed his true intentions, all the joyful and heartwarming emotions she had felt before vanished into thin air as all of her hopes shattered.

As of then, Michaela did not even want to look at those luxury goods, for all they did was remind her once again of Jacob’s ulterior motives.

Michaela could not help but laugh at herself, thinking her life was nothing but a joke.

She was not a fool, but it was a compromise she was willing to make for the sake of her family.

Knock, knock.

Just then, the door to her bedroom was knocked on, followed by Hannah’s gentle voice. “Hey Mich, it’s me. Can I come in?”

Michaela raised her hand to close the glass door of the balcony before turning to open the door. The slight worry on Hannah’s face did not escape Michaela’s notice. With a subtle smile, she greeted, “Why are you still awake, Mom? It’s late.”

“Well, you’re still awake too, aren’t you?” Hannah rolled her eyes in feigned annoyance. “I got you some hot milk. Drink it while it’s still warm.”

“Thanks, Mom.”

Michaela wore a subservient smile on her face. The smile made her look more delicate than most women. Hannah’s heart ached as she reached out to nudge Michaela’s head. “What were you thinking when you agreed to it? Why cause yourself all the pain?” Hannah’s voice was laced with devastation.
