Chapter 284

Michael continued to gaze at me nonchalantly in silence. There were not any hints of emotion in his
eyes. I could not resist wondering if he believed in my words. Subsequently, I felt a prickle of
anxiousness as another wave of uncertainty swept over me.

I held my breath as I lowered my head and gripped the side of my blouse. My heart was pounding hard;
my mind turned into mush. What if he came back to break up with me?

As Michael continued to gaze at me without uttering any words, my lips tightened into a thin line.

“Anna Garcia, I wonder when you will start to think wisely with your brain!” Michael finally spoke after a
long while.

I scratched my head in perplex, unable to understand what he actually meant. Thinking wisely with my
brain?

I looked into his eyes, mustering up my courage to ask him, “What do you mean?”

Michael walked into the living room and sat on the couch. Tossing me a frigid glance, he scoffed, “Don't
you know that someone deliberately took the photo? Do you think there is an ideal spot for such a high-
definition photo to be taken?”

My heart skipped a beat as something came into my mind. “Do... you mean to say that Justin did that
on purpose?”

As the question escaped my lips, a surge of panic crept into my heart. It was an indecipherable feeling
when I found out that someone had set me up.



“Remember to use your brain next time!”

I was astounded by his words. What is playing on Justin's mind? We have not been contacting each
other for more than half a year. Why did he assign people to snap this photo?

Is he trying to blackmail me? No, it can't be. He doesn't have the audacity to do so. Not to mention he
is Michael's employee. What is the point of shooting himself in the foot by blackmailing his boss?

I scratched my head quizzically again, wondering why Justin had done so.

“Anyway, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You'd better mark my words, Anna. You are my
woman now. You are not allowed to spare other men any glance, especially your ex-boyfriend!” Michael
sat upright and glared at me with his blazing eyes. He was even gritting his teeth when he said those
last few words. He seemed to be green with envy at the thought that I might cross paths with Justin
again at any time.

Even so, I heaved a sigh of relief as he did not mention breaking up with me. I felt thankful that the
worst did not occur as expected, despite the utter grimness on his face.

Feeling delighted, I approached him and sat down next to him. Holding onto his arm, I finally felt a
sense of security and cooled off.

“I will never fall for another man. You are the love of my life,” I mumbled affectionately to him.

Michael was the only man in my eyes at that moment. I was certain that I would not be drawn to any
other man again. I yearned to spend the rest of my life with him.



My words seemed to have appeased him. There was finally a slight change in his countenance as he
softened up.

Since then, two days went past as usual. Michael was so occupied with both his work matters and the
investigation on Justin that he could not allocate time to accompany me. Even though I was feeling a
bit down, I knew I should not distract him from sorting things out.

I grabbed the chance to tidy up the baby products we bought from the shopping mall that day.
Whenever I imagined how adorable our child would look in the baby clothes, I was on top of the world.

Right then, the ringing of my phone interrupted my contemplation. To my dismay, it was still a call from
Justin. I recalled how Michael had warned me to have no truck with him again. Nonetheless, I could
barely wait to find out why he was thinking of reconciling with me.

After pondering for quite a while, I decided to answer his call. Justin must have presumed that I might
not answer his call as he was stunned for a while before shrieking with joy, “Anna! It's so great to hear
your voice! I almost thought you wouldn't answer my call anymore!”

Ever since I knew that he was approaching me with a hidden motive, I loathed him even more.

“Justin Xenakis, what do you want?” I raised my voice.

I would not believe it if he said he was thinking of mending the relationship with me. My gut instinct told
me he must have some ploys in his mind.

“Anna, you know how I feel about you, don't you? There are so many things I want to say to you. Can



we meet up somewhere?” Justin said, instead of replying to my question.

If Michael did not tell me that Justin was approaching me with a hidden motive, I would most probably
reject him right away. However, I did not feel like turning him down at the moment as I was curious
about his exact motive.

Therefore, I agreed to meet him at a café not far from Birchwood half an hour later.

Prevailed by the eagerness to find out the truth, I reached the café slightly earlier than the scheduled
time. To my surprise, he arrived even earlier than me.

“Anna, this way.” Justin waved at me jubilantly with a bright smile on his face the moment I stepped into
the café.

I made my way toward him in utter indifference, suppressing the waves of hatred surging from within
me.

Seated opposite him, I only ordered a glass of plain water. I could not take coffee as I was pregnant.

“So, why did you call me out?” I went straight to the point.

“Nothing much. I just wanted to look at you. Anna, do you know how much I have missed you all this
while? I want to contact you every day, but I don't have the courage to do so. I regret hurting you
previously. I feel guilty and ashamed of facing you,” Justin uttered sincerely and gazed at me lovingly.

Pfft! He is indeed good at acting. That kind of look and tone! I would be touched if I didn't know his



exact temperament.

Nevertheless, I was no longer the innocent girl years ago whom he could effortlessly coax with his
sweet nothings. I almost burst into laughter at the sight of his pretentious look. Hah! It never crossed
my mind that men can be good at putting up a show like women too!

“Since you are ashamed of facing me, why did you insist on looking for me? Don't you think you are
contradicting yourself?” I scoffed.

He was dumbfounded. Perhaps he didn't expect me to be so straightforward as there was a hint of
sheepishness on his face.

“I... Anna, I know you must be thinking that I'm a man with no sense of responsibility. But I'm remorseful
and have decided to turn over a new leaf. I'm sorry for what I have done. Can you grant me a chance
to prove my sincerity?” Justin pleaded for my forgiveness.

If Michael did not warn me about how despicable Justin was, I would believe that he was making a
sincere apology.

I was never a cold-hearted woman who would make a fuss out of nothing. But Justin's emergence with
a hidden motive had stirred up trouble and indirectly strained the relationship between Michael and me.
My loathing toward him was beyond description.
