Chapter 159: The Knocking On The Door

There was no strange smell on Michael’s body, and if Michael had done anything to betray me, the mate relationship would make me feel this way. I believed Michael’s words for the time being.
“So, what did you do all night?” I asked slowly.
“I didn’t do anything.” Michael became angry. He was not going to put up with my interrogation. This was normal. He had always been the royal family’s high and mighty Prince Lycan. He had always been the one to interrogate others. Now, of course, he was not used to being questioned by me.
Michael said patiently, “I know you are still angry about last night, but it has already been a night. None of us have benefited from it. Let’s forget all this and be together, okay?”
Forget? How could he make it sound so easy? Michael saw every argument as me being unreasonable, and he never thought the problem was his own.
I glared at Michael and said, “My mate is still thinking about other women, and now he’s asking me to forget about it.”
“Enough, Cecily!” Michael yelled at me, his eyes filled with a golden light again. I looked at the ground and ignored his anger. I was also angry now.
Michael was standing right in front of me. I once again felt the distance between us. I didn’t allow my gaze to focus on him. However, Michael extended his hands to me again. At the same time, his deep voice sounded in my ears.
“I’ve never had anyone in my heart. You’re the only one in my heart. How many times do I have to say this? I won’t accept being with anyone but you. You know how much I enjoy spending time with you right now. You’re the first person I want to see when I return from work every day. Look at me, Cecily.”
His words made me waver. I hesitantly turned my gaze to him.
A voice in my heart told me he was lying, telling me to accept the situation and stop causing trouble. But when I met Michael’s gaze, I was still moved by him. His dark brown eyes were glowing with a golden light. He looked very gentle, but there was also a hint of authority.
“Baby, you don’t know how happy I was yesterday when I heard you would work with me. I look forward to being with you every day.” Michael opened his arms to me again.
I knew I would let go of everything once I touched his skin and easily forgive what happened last night. This was also why I had always avoided physical contact with Michael. However, he looked too gentle and charming. Even before I touched him, I had already fallen for him.
It was only then that I noticed the dark circles under his eyes. He must have been up all night. Our argument was the reason why Michael was so exhausted. He was the glittering Lycan Prince of the royal family, but because of me, he’d become like this. I felt guilt and regret that I didn’t stop Michael last night.
I didn’t reject Michael’s hug, and his scent enveloped me again.
Although his scent wasn’t as strong as it had been during our lovemaking, it was still warm and smelled good, with the warmth of a family. I reached out and hugged him back, and Michael raised his hand to touch my cheek, and we smiled at each other. At that moment, I decided to forget about yesterday.
“My little wolf...” Michael whispered in my ear.
His fingers slid past my ear and neck to touch my collarbone. His fingertips were filled with pure love, not desire. I pressed my face against his face with the same tenderness, allowing our breaths to mingle better.
“Let’s sleep together,” I said softly.
However, a rapid and fierce knock on the door interrupted all of this. The sound was so loud that it was as if the other party was deliberately trying to disturb us. Then, I heard an annoying voice coming from outside the door.
“Michael, it’s me. There’s an urgent matter that needs your attention.” It was indeed Joanna.
“What’s the matter?” Michael impatiently shouted towards the door. I heard a grumpy grunt coming from his throat.
“One of our teams has been attacked. We have to go and take a look now,” Joanna said.
Michael took a deep breath and looked to the side with a malicious gaze. I could feel the low, burning anger coming from his body.
He looked like a ball filled with high pressure. He would explode if he were squeezed. I didn’t say anything. I was waiting for him to vent his anger on Joanna.
But after a few breaths, Michael retracted the terrifying aura around him.
His gaze still didn’t look friendly, but his expression had returned to the calmness I usually saw.
“Okay, I got it. Wait for me downstairs,” Michael said.
I looked at Michael in shock. He looked like he was going to leave me to go to that whore, Joanna.
