Chapter 158: Where Have You Been?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
I reached for my phone, and the screen lit up. It was four o’clock, and Michael was still not back.
I leaned against my bed and stared out the window at the dark sky. It was going to light up soon. The night was going to be over. Where the hell had Michael gone?
Some disturbing thoughts came to mind.
My first concern was Michael’s safety. Would he encounter any accidents when he went out alone at night? He had recently been investigating the matter of the she-wolf. Werewolf hunters were a group of people who would do anything for profit. Would they take the opportunity to plot against Michael? But Michael was a Lycan Prince of the royal family. He should be able to defeat a few werewolf hunters.
Then, a second thought appeared in my mind. Michael had left because of me. He was angry with me, so he deliberately did not come back for the entire night. Did he not consider that I would worry about him at all?
I was in bed with the cold wind the whole night. I could not remember when I had fallen asleep. In the last second of my consciousness, I was thinking about us, and he just left?!

The dawn of the night had given me a lot to think about, and as the night went on, the smell of Michael in my bed faded, and now they weren’t enough to calm me down.
I stared at my phone screen, and there were no messages from Michael. An unknown flame burned in my heart, and grew stronger. I had forgotten everything I wanted to say to Michael the night before. I only remembered how happy I had been, how Michael had rejected me and let me down.
It wasn’t until the sun came up and the view from the window became clear that I heard a soft creak from the door. I glared at the door. It was Michael.
He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn the day before. His entire body was covered in the morning dew.
Although extremely angry, I still looked at Michael from top to bottom. Although he looked a little discouraged and his hair was messy, there were no signs of injury. I let out a sigh of relief. Then, the flames of anger surged in my heart like hot oil.
“What have you been up to all night?” I asked coldly.
“Cecily? You’re up so early?” Michael looked at me. It was obvious that he hadn’t reacted to the situation yet.
He rubbed his eyes. His voice sounded hoarse and sleepy. The top buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his full chest.
Even at this moment, I had to say that Michael’s body had a different kind of sexiness.
When Michael approached me and brought his delicious scent to me, my heart couldn’t help but waver.
I hadn’t seen him all night. I missed him very much and wanted to lean into his arms. But when I thought that his perfect body might have been on another woman’s bed, my tone became stern again.
“Yeah, I had a good sleep yesterday. I couldn’t wait for you never to come back,” I mocked.
Michael stared at me in a daze. It was rare for him to have such a confused expression, which looked a little cute.

“Didn’t you get any rest last night?” Michael asked.
He reached out, wanting to hug me, but I dodged.
I caught a flash of disappointment in Michael’s eyes, but I hardened my heart and said, “I had a good night’s rest. Maybe you’re the only one who didn’t get enough rest in Joanna’s bed.”
I knew I was being immature.
But for the past hour, I had been racking my brain with thoughts of what had happened. I had tried to knock on Joanna’s door several times to confirm it, but I lacked the courage to push it open.
Michael looked at me and blinked. He seemed to have finally realized what we had been up to yesterday.
He sighed and looked at me helplessly. “I didn’t get any rest. I wandered outside all night because I didn’t know how to come back to face you.”
“You walked with Joanna all night?” I couldn’t control myself.
“I didn’t walk with anyone.” Michael shook his head. He sighed again and said, “How do I explain it to you? I am already over her. You are the only one.”
I looked at Michael. His expression seemed sincere, but I couldn’t judge from his appearance.
