But then I got to realize how handsome he was looking at him From such a direction.‘His jawline is smooth! How could he maintain this lip color?!’ I screamed in my head as I scrutinized his face with my eyes.“Oh” I muttered, unconsciously. “Do you wish to remain like this Mrs Houston?” Lucian asked with a naughty smirk playing on his lips, referring to the position we were.‘How can you be so stupid Michelle?’ I gave myself a mental slap as I jerked up, I knew I would see a thousand pictures of that position. “Thank you” I mumbled embarrassingly.“You shouldn't be this clumsy in public,” he replied in a low tone. “I was not clumsy, they pushed me, I didn't know they were going to be here” I tried to defend myself in a low voice. “It's predicted though” he replied, making me angry. ‘Can he just let me breathe for a while?’

I knew that would not end well if we got how so I decided to clear the air before then.‘He is older anyway, acting cute will soften his mood’ I mulled in my head not knowing it was just a way to ruin myself.“Mr Houston” I reached out to his hands cutely, he looked at me with a shocked and questioning gaze.“What are you doing __” he was saying, but I cut in. “You look cool earlier, you are truly my husband, Lucian Houston, I respect you” I pouted, and even the driver almost threw up at my awful act.I am not used to being cute even though I felt embarrassed doing that, but

I didn't want him to leave that night, ‘I want him by my side!’ I mulled in my head.“Are you leaving again?” I wondered who called him to change his mood like that. He sighed and looked at me with an apologetic gaze, but I looked away immediately knowing it would end by saying sorry.“Michelle— my baby__ don't call me that” he was saying as he walked towards me, but I cut him off.

    ##Chapter 83The RatMichelle's POV At the hospital VIP room,Dark took control, as there was a unique blend of serenity and unease. The room is bathed in a soft, melancholy atmosphere. The luxurious furnishings, though inviting, seem almost out of place in this setting. I hated it there, but I shouldn’t be upset. It's a space where the boundaries between comfort and concern blur, making it a place of both rest and reflection.“I just hope he is not angry that much?” I mumbled to myself which was more like a question. I only thought it was right to start working soon because of the effort he put in getting that position back, but I only made him angry. ‘What a wife!’ I thought. ‘I should call him
 he can't stay angry at me for that long right? He would at least pity me
 that's what I need now!’ I mulled it over, then I reached out to my phone immediately wanting to call him, but then I saw a message on my phone

I will get to know her, and she will be faithful too, she promised to be gentle with my feelings” he blurted like a highschool boy in love with a college student.“Gentle with your feelings?

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the urban landscape, a sense of quiet descends. The distant hum of traffic fades into the background, replaced by the soft rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze. Lights flicker on, painting the buildings in warm, inviting hues, contrasting with the growing darkness. It's a time when the city's secrets seem to whisper in the wind, and emotions swirl like the mist that rises from the damp streets.“The ex-president of Whitney's corporation has been arrested.
