Chapter 372

I'm trapped in the middle of the two siblings and my head was spinning.

“All right. Can you two talk to each other nicely? Others who do not know you might think that you twoare enemies. I'm going to puke if you continue this.”

On top of my morning sickness, now I had to deal with the uneasiness caused by the siblings.

Upon hearing what I said, Ronan gazed at me worriedly and stopped the tussle with Gabriella.

“Are you all right?”

Ronan asked in a gentle voice.

“I'm fine. But please, stop fighting. If this continues, I'm afraid something bad might happen to me.”

Although the constant fighting between the siblings could be amusing at times, it was definitely vexing ifI was dragged into the fight.

“We'll stop. Drink some water and take a rest.” Ronan's gaze was gentle and loving.

She took a glass of water and passed it to me.

I took a few sips of the water and instantly felt better.

“It's all on you, Ronan. Anna is not feeling well now!”

As Ronan was checking up on me, she conveniently put all the blame on Ronan. I must admit thatRonan looked all worried and concerned.

“Gabriella, shut up. I'll teach you a lesson when we get home!”

Ronan was infuriated as he stared angrily at Gabriella, obviously offended by her statement.

Interestingly, Gabriella seemed to be terrified of Ronan and his threat. Although unwillingly, Gabriellaeventually kept quiet and did not utter a single word.

Meanwhile, Michael was done with socializing around and walked toward us. Although we were herefor around an hour, it felt forever, and I didn't want to stay any longer.

“What did I say? It's boring, right?”

Michael came by my side and wrapped his arm against my shoulder in a loving manner.

“Right, it's boring. It's more like a socializing club instead of a Gala Night.”

Initially, I thought that the people attending the event were genuinely doing it for charity. However, Isoon realized that it was all but a show by the rich and wealthy. In the name of charity, their trueintention was to search for business partners.

“You'll get used to it.”

Michael smiled and did not comment anything about my statement.

“Tsk... Michael, you make me feel like a blind bimbo today. Is there something wrong with my eyes? Isthis really you? You're speaking in such a gentle manner!”

Gabriella who finally kept quiet for a short while started speaking again. With a bewildered look, shewalked toward Michael and tapped on his shoulder.

“A blind bimbo? Why are you describing yourself in such a way?”

Michael however was not a short-tempered person like Ronan. Knowing very well that Gabriella wastrying to rile him up, he showed no signs of agitation. On the flip side, he was able to turn the situationaround and mock Gabriella.

Truth be told, Michael's knowledge and maturity far exceeded Ronan's.

“Michael, how can you say something like that? I'm just trying to express my shock, you know? What abummer!”

Gabriella blushed and her eyes widened while she tried to explain herself.

“I'm taking my wife back home. Please excuse us!”

Michael couldn't care less about Gabriella's explanation. He grabbed my hand and pushed Gabriella tothe side gently, before leaving together with me.

“Michael, I'm not finished!”

Gabriella called out to Michael, but he acted like he did not hear anything.

I turned my head around at saw Gabriella stomping his feet on the ground furiously. Obviously,Gabriella was triggered by how Michael ignored her.

Beside her, Ronan appeared to be enjoying the fiasco, gloating at his sister in amusement.

They're really interesting...

“Your cousin sure is something, and she's very cute.”

Michael and I were seated in the backseat of the car. Because Michael had to socialize tonight, heasked the driver to come with us.

“She's been like that ever since she was young, a spoiled brat,” answered Michael.

“It looks like you two are quite close. I have always thought of you as a cold and distant person.”

Although Michael did not interact much with Gabriella just now, I was able to tell that Michael pamperedGabriella a lot.

“Do you think I'm a person that's hard to deal with?”

Michael raised his brows and looked at me coldly.

“Uh...”

Immediately, I started to doubt if what I said was appropriate.

“That's not what I mean.”

I waived my hands in protest while my mind was racing to replace a way to get myself out of the situation.

The corner of his lips raised and he started inching closer to me.

My heart was pounding rapidly. Before I could react, he kissed me on the lips.

I could vaguely smell the faint alcohol scent in his breath, and it was not too overwhelming. Then, Iclosed my eyes and kissed him back.

Nowadays, I was starting to get used to the moments when Michael would kiss me randomly.

The driver looked at both of us from the rear mirror before shifting his gaze to the front awkwardly.Perhaps this was his first encounter in his years of experience as a driver.

The kiss lasted for a long time, and I could tell that he was getting into the mood.

Realizing that we were in the car, I forcefully pushed Michael away, worried that he would lose control. Iwas not prepared to put on a show before the driver.

“Anna!”

Michael stared at me furiously.

“We're in the car. Stop fooling around!” I gazed at the driver before reminding Michael.

Michael quickly came back to his senses, but his gaze radiated displeasure as he stared at the driver.

“Find a quiet spot in front, park the car, and leave us alone after that.”

Michael put up a straight face and instructed the driver.

The driver was stupefied and did not go against Michael's instruction. However, I bet he understoodwhat was Michael's intention.

Knowing what Michael wanted to do, my face immediately turned bright red. We were only ten minutesfrom reaching home, why couldn't he just wait?

“Michael, can't you wait for a little longer?”

I looked at him and reprimanded him softly.

The driver was not stupid. He would definitely know what was going on.
