Chapter 52 How Dare He Touch Me

When Michaela returned to her room, it was still early.

She thought it was going to be a while before Jonathan returned from his trip with Louise, so she decided to start a video call with her mother.

Perhaps it was because of what happened last night that it made her feel like they hadn’t met for a long time, even though only a day had passed.

When the call connected, the phone showed her a busy figure. Hannah was still sitting in front of her desk that has a big stack of documents on it.

“How’s it going on your end, Mom? Are things going smoothly? Have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet. I’ll go and eat after I finish my current work. Besides, I’m not hungry yet. I’ve been spending two days preparing all the materials I need. So, I won’t know if things will go smoothly until Monday. What’s up? Are you missing me?” Hannah tied up her long hair into a ponytail, exuding the unmistakable aura of a career woman in the process.

“Of course!” Michaela was going to say something, but seeing how busy her mother was, she hesitated.

However, as a mother, Hannah still managed to notice there was something going on with her daughter. She put down the paper in her hand and smiled. “What’s wrong? Do you have something you want to tell me?”

“It’s nothing, really.” Michaela grabbed the pillow on the couch and chuckled dryly.

“I’m your mother, you know. I can tell there’s something weighing down on you. Just tell me about it. You can always tell me anything.” Hannah picked up the phone and walked to the couch. Then she slumped on it, taking the opportunity to rest.

“Can I stop living in Mr. Jonathan’s house? I can stay at Granddad’s place. There are housekeepers there, too. Besides, I’m grown up now. I can take care of myself.”

Michaela’s crisp voice traveled into Jonathan’s ears as he arrived at the entrance of the door. It caused him to stop turning the knob and subconsciously hold his breath. I can’t believe she’s already planning to escape from me after I left for a brief moment. What kind of place does she think Shappiray Mansion is? Does she think she can stay or leave as she pleases? No way.
