Semua Bab The Miracle of You: Bab 81 - Bab 90

“What is it?” Michael asked, puzzled. It was really out of the blue.“You used to pester me all the time even before the accident, right?” Joanna shook her head. “You were so annoying at that time. Like a brat who just wouldn’t stop.”Michael hesitated. “That was…” He raised a hand to rub his temples. He could feel the heat creeping up his neck from embarrassment. “I just wanted your attention. You were always avoiding me and just holed up in your room. Even though Will played with me whenever he was there, I longed for your attention, too. I also wanted to play with you.”She scoffed, but there was a soft look in her eyes that she couldn’t conceal. “Not a chance. Even then, I was not interested in playing with a kid.”“I figured as much after all the yelling you directed at me.”“You deserved it. Annoying little brat.”Michael couldn’t help the small, amused smile that curved his lips.Joanna turned her eyes to him, and now any trace of coldness was gone from her expression. “I remem

As Michael left the residence, he suddenly felt his phone buzzing in his pocket. He took it out, raised it to his face, and saw that it was a text message.From Camille.He couldn’t quite describe what he felt at that second. For a few minutes, he just stared at his phone, at the first part of the message, reading it over and over, like he was in a trance.When he finally snapped out of it, he opened the phone and started reading the message in full.It seemed that she wanted to meet him at a coffee shop later tonight. The same café where they had reunited after fourteen years.Liezel’s café.He just stood there, his fingers stiff. He didn’t know how to react.To be honest, he had never expected Camille to send him a message like this, and especially not to take the initiative to invite him. It felt uncanny, especially the timing.Michael’s mind began to race.What kind of reply should he give her? Should he tell her that he couldn’t make it, that his schedule was too full?He had dec

Michael fell silent, and his expression became pensive.Had Joanna really felt the same way?He had never really thought about it before. After all, the Joanna that he knew was always cold and merciless. He hardly ever saw her show emotion.He couldn’t even remember seeing her cry or laugh. Maybe once, or maybe a few times, and that was it.He didn’t know if he wanted to dwell on the subject. It felt too strange at the moment.“I’ll keep trying,” he finally said. “I don’t want to keep being like this forever, either.”She smiled at him. “That’s good to hear. How about the rest of your family? Your parents and Will? I remember you used to tell me about your brother and how kind he was to you.”“Yeah. Will was great, and he still is.” He nodded. “But as for my parents… I’m still not on good terms with them, unfortunately.”“Oh…” Camille’s expression turned awkward, and she didn’t know what to say. “I’m sorry.”He shook his head. “There’s no reason for you to apologize for bringing it up

The Callahan family mansion was massive, built with a modern design of smooth white stone with dark steel accents. The garden was also huge, with different kinds of flowers growing everywhere.In front of the entrance, after entering through the gates, there was a large fountain and several paths leading to various places, such as the greenhouse, the driveway, and the swimming pool area.It had been a while since Christian had last visited this place. After he and Camille got their own place, he hardly had a reason to come here.It wasn’t that he hated his father’s company. Rather, he was too busy to visit and just have tea and small talk with his aging father.Gregory Callahan was no longer the almighty and intimidating presence he once was. As the years passed, age had taken its toll on his features, making him look weaker than before. Though his vitality and intelligence still shone as brightly as ever, Christian was clearly the more domineering and intimidating one in the family.

Barely a day later, Pamela was forcibly returned to the Callahan mansion. The police already had another important case on their hands and did not have time to deal with a case that was apparently already “proven” to be a suicide.The media knew nothing about it. Pamela, on the other hand, knew that Gregory had something to do with all of this. With his power and influence, he could do anything that he wanted. Money could buy anything, and he wasn’t stingy with the price.She also knew that Gregory had Winston killed out of revenge and as payback for the betrayal, for the affair they had and for running away together.Pamela was horrified by this revelation. Gregory obviously had blood on his hands, especially when she learned what Winston had discovered, something that she hadn’t been able to tell the investigators.Once she was brought back to this house, and she had had enough. This had gone too far!She pulled her hand away from his grip and stopped in the middle of the second flo
