Chapter 57 Vengeance For Life

Michaela was relieved to spend the first night without Jonathan.

At first, she wanted to watch a film and enjoy some me-time, but she dozed off halfway through.

When she woke up the next day, she continued to bask in the euphoria of Jonathan’s absence. Even the air smells sweet!

Wayne was afraid that Michaela might get bored, so on the second night, he told her about the indoor pool and family theater upstairs.

That gave Michaela an idea. She went upstairs, took a tour, and realized the independent living space looked exactly like the one she had always wanted as a child.

 

Her heart skipped a beat when she realized the space was similar to her childhood vision. Instead of lingering around, she decided to sneak back to the room.

When she felt thirsty and was about to go downstairs to get a glass of water, she suddenly noticed how empty the mansion was. Why does the mansion look so spacious when Mr. Jonathan is not around?

 

That night, Michaela could not sleep. When is he coming back? Should I call him? But what should I say to him?

She continued tossing and turning in bed for some time and eventually fell asleep at midnight.

The next day, Michaela went to work with dark circles under her eyes.

When she stepped into the office, all her colleagues walked up to her and expressed their concerns. “What happened to your eyes, Mich? Did you not sleep well?”

“Yeah, insomnia,” she said matter-of-factly.

Michaela seldom used cosmetic products, but she had worn some make-up today to conceal the dark circles under her eyes. Still, people could see them.

“Mich, are you dating someone?” someone teased.

Michaela’s face blushed instantly and denied. She then tried to change the topic. “Please. By the way, where’s Lorelei? Hasn’t she come back to work?”
