CHAPTER 529

Chapter 529 The Unsatisfied Michael

“Can you be any more shameless, Michael? How could you bring yourself to say those words?” A wave of annoyance surged within me as I glared at him.

“I can, of course. If you want me to be more shameless than this, I can satisfy you right away.” He raised his brow at me, and his gaze shone with amusement as he pinned them on me. It was as if my words had fallen on deaf ears.

Undoubtedly, I was rendered speechless by his shamelessness. Judging from his looks, I figured he might resort to force if I did not satisfy his needs.

As much as I was still fuming with anger, I chose to compromise. I crawled up the bed, closed my eyes, and spread my legs apart for him to fulfill his burning desire.

All that was in my mind then was for him to get over and done with so that I could turn in early. I was so awfully exhausted that I could not even open my eyes at that point.

Regardless, his behavior right there and then further affirmed my decision to live in a separate room.

I had enough of his boundless demands.

“You’re lying on the bed like a dead fish. Do you expect me to do it myself?” Michael was visibly displeased as he pressed himself against me.

His appearance then looked entirely like an unsatisfied man.

“What else do you expect? Michael, I realize your expectations are getting higher and higher. I thought you liked it this way in the past? You love it when I’m submissive to you.”

I knew he preferred me taking more initiative recently, but I was simply not in the mood to entertain him at the moment. I only wished that he could do it quickly so that I would be able to rest.

“Shouldn’t we improve the quality of our sex life? If you don’t try to spice things up and stimulate me, I can’t promise how long it’ll take for me to reach climax.”

His love for me to be more proactive had made me utterly worn out every time. Hence, I would still prefer him to take the initiative most of the time.

“Michael!” I yelled his name as I could no longer hold myself back. But before I could further vent my frustrations, he straightened his spine and shoved his manhood into me.

I could not help but grunt in pain. Those words of anger that I had wanted to say had instantly turned into moans.

This time, he went on for a long time. By the time he hit the climax, my whole body was aching in pain. I was so overwhelmed I wished I could send him flying with a kick.

Satisfied, he cuddled me in his warm embrace. In contrast, I could not be bothered about him and closed my eyes to sleep.

Perhaps because I did not sleep well last night, I fell into a deep slumber and only woke up in the late afternoon.

Naturally, Michael was no longer around. I cursed at him in my heart for his immediate disappearance after getting what he wanted.

I had not eaten anything for the whole day. When I headed downstairs, I heard voices coming from the living room.

I continued my way down, only to find Alicia and Josephine in the living room chatting away.

Seeing her sudden appearance, I was slightly astounded. Isn’t she supposed to be at home accompanying Janette right now? Why is she here?

“Mom, what are you guys talking about?”

My greeting was, in truth, directed to Josephine and not Alicia.

It had indeed been a long time, yet I still could not overcome the scar left deeply in my heart. Undeniably, I still found it hard to bring myself to call her my mother.

Hearing my words, Alicia was initially a little surprised. However, after noticing that I had cast my gaze toward Josephine, she slumped down in disappointment at once.

“Mrs. Campbell is here to visit you. But she didn’t want to disturb you after learning that you’re still asleep, so I’ve been chatting with her. Why don’t you take over now that you’re here? I’ll go help out in the kitchen to prepare some snacks for you.” Josephine shot me a glance and responded before walking away to the kitchen.

I knew that was a deliberate move on her part to create a space for me to have a good conversation with my mother. In truth, I found that Josephine was a nice person ever since she unraveled her emotional entanglement.

“You’re here to look for me? What’s the matter?” I sat on the couch opposite Alicia and asked placidly.

“You left without having the meal yesterday. I was worried as you looked like you were in a bad mood. So I came over to check on you.” Her eyes glowed with tenderness as she spoke.

Hearing how she was concerned about me, I choked a little and felt a comforting warmth surge in my chest.

“I’m fine.”

I could not deny how upset and disappointed I was when I saw how she only had eyes for Janette yesterday. Yet, given our relationship right now, I deemed it was not adequate for me to express my true feelings.

“Janette’s matter has been giving me a headache recently. That’s why I haven’t had time to contact you. I was worried you might let your thought run wild because of that, so I specially came over today to chat with you.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“I fully understand. Janette definitely needs someone by her side to console her after experiencing such an incident. You’re her mother; it’s only right that you should be with her.”

Even though the feeling of getting neglected by her was dreadful, I could understand her position well. After all, if such an incident were to happen to me instead, it would be comforting if I knew someone would stay with me and help me overcome the ordeal.

“It’s good that you understand. I was afraid you’d be angry with me because of this. I-I—”

“You’re overthinking matters. I’m almost thirty, so of course, I can understand where you’re coming from. Besides, she has grown up under your care. It’s more than reasonable that you have a deeper affection for her than for me.”

Although she had treated me well after she found me, I could tell how I was never comparable to Janette deep down in her heart.

Having spent more than a decade living together, it did make sense that she had a stronger bond with Janette than with me, the daughter she just acknowledged not too long ago. It was a fact that was as clear as day to me.

“Anna, I don’t mean that. Both of you are my daughters. I love you two equally in my heart.” It seemed like my words had left her nervous that she hastily tried to explain to me.

“If you’re here today just for this matter, I’m clear about the situation now. You can head home and take care of Janette now.” My tone was devoid of any emotions as I had no intention to discuss this matter any further.

No matter how tactful she was, I was still capable of discerning things. I was not that stupid. There was simply no way I could not tell what was in her mind.

Sensing how cold I was toward her, she kept quiet and only looked at me sadly.

I deliberately ignored the look in her eyes and tried not to care about her emotions. There were many instances in life where one would get hurt deeper for caring for another person.

I had always been a sentimental woman who placed great value on my relationships. That was also why I truly feared that I would get hurt again this time.

“Anna, do we really need to make things so awkward between us? We’re mother and daughter; I hope we can behave more intimately toward each other.” Dejection was written all over her face as she seriously doled out words of imploration.
