Chapter 177: Moving Away

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

My eyes lit up when I heard Michael’s suggestion.

What could be better than leaving the place with so many people and going to a place where Michael and I were alone?!

I looked at Michael with a grin. “If my departure is the reason for your decision, maybe I should leave you a few more times.”

A helpless smile appeared on Michael’s face; he tapped me on the forehead. “Don’t even think about it. You only have to run once. I won’t always give you a chance. You’re not allowed to go away for a day or a night.”

When Michael and I returned to the house together and announced that we were leaving, I saw Joanna could no longer hold on to her smile as she was shocked.

This was the first time I had ever smiled sincerely at Joanna. I was so happy to be able to leave this place and to make sure that Michael and Joanna had no more contact.

I packed my luggage as quickly as I could. I didn’t have that many things at Michael’s. I didn’t care if I had forgotten anything. Everything could be retrieved later, but I couldn’t wait to get out of there.

“Where are you going?” I heard Joanna ask Michael as I directed the housekeeper to move my bags downstairs.

I listened attentively to their conversation.

I remembered that Michael hadn’t told me where we were going. He hadn’t come over to help while I happily packed my bags.

I supposed he was still mad at me, but I didn’t know what upset Michael. Was it because I left him for my parents, because I wouldn’t come back here and forced him to move out with me, or because of what had just happened at the ice cream shop?

I considered all of it a few times. Maybe it was all of it. But it didn’t matter. When we were alone, I would do everything I could to make it up to him. He wouldn’t be able to resist my advances for long. I would let him know I was his, and then we would be good again.

“I am going to stay with Cecily elsewhere,” Michael replied.

Joanna was still trying to convince Michael to stay. “What about the work we’re doing together? This is the critical moment. We’ve already found the clue. We can’t do this without you.”

This b*tch. She was making excuses.

Even so, I still looked at Michael nervously, afraid he would change his mind and stay. I had been so absorbed in the excitement of being able to stay with Michael alone that I had forgotten about Michael and her work relationship. It seemed that my next step should be to get myself involved as soon as possible and kick Joanna out of Michael’s team.

“I will continue to follow up on this matter. I will come here to discuss the details with you during the meeting tomorrow,” Michael said gently.

I felt that I couldn’t watch any longer. I took a quick step forward and took Michael’s arm. “Darling, my things are all packed. I think we can go to our new place.”

Michael looked down at me, and I gave him a gentle smile.

“Alright, let’s go then.”

I took Michael’s arm and walked toward the door. When I turned around, I glimpsed Joanna’s angry expression. No matter what she planned, my mate was mine. Michael would move to another place because of me. I could have Michael completely, but Joanna would never have that.

I looked at Michael in the driver’s seat. His gaze was fixed on the road ahead, and his face was expressionless. I sensed that he was still unhappy. After coming out of the house, he had not made any physical advances to me, nor had he hugged or kissed me, except the one time I had taken his arm.

And just now, he had pushed away my hand.

Michael’s estrangement made me uneasy.

Would he regret leaving with me as soon as he came out? I didn’t know how Michael found this new place, but he had lived in this small villa for a long time and must have gotten used to everything here. It was because of me that Michael had to leave his familiar surroundings. The unknown meant the risk.

I tried to touch his chest. The touch always moved my heart. I followed his arm and finally stopped at his heart. I felt Michael’s strong heartbeat.

Michael looked down at me. I tilted my head to look at him and pursed my lips.

“Aren’t you happy?” I asked softly.

Michael sighed and stopped the car by the road. Then, he held out his hand. I thought he was going to take me in his arms. I leaned in his direction.
