Chapter 459

Perhaps because they had never encountered women like Natalie and me in a pub before, theexpressions of the two guys darkened at once.

Just then, the guy who was hugging me spoke, “We shall let the two of you discipline us tonight then.We love mature women. Not only are you nice to touch, but you are also more experienced. Let's gonow. I'm so excited that I can't wait any longer.”

After he finished speaking, the boy grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the pub. Meanwhile, theguy next to Natalie also started being touchy.

As I had consumed alcohol, I was feeling weak. Even though I felt annoyed and tried to push the boywho was pulling me away, my footsteps were unstable, and my body wobbled unsteadily.

Although Natalie was a tough woman, she was still a woman after all, and it was definitely no simplefeat for her to struggle free from the guy who was in control. In an instant, we had landed ourselves inan extremely unfavorable situation.

There were many other people in the pub, but no one tried to help us, probably because suchsituations commonly occurred in bars.

Natalie and I were dragged out of the pub seconds later. Even though we were both struggling hard,our efforts were futile. To make matters worse, passersby did not attempt to interfere as well.

Right then, those two guys flagged down a cab that stopped in front of us. Natalie was shoved into thecab first before the guy behind me tried to push me in as well. Although I was not clear-headed at thatmoment, I still knew very well what would happen if they took us away.

Hence, I grabbed onto the car door handle and resisted with all my might, knowing that as long as Ientered the car, both Natalie and I would be screwed tonight.

“Get in now!” the guy behind me urged.

He was getting impatient and pushed me forcefully.

Right after he finished speaking, suddenly, I could no longer feel his hands on me. Moments later, Iheard an agonized shriek coming from him.

Feeling puzzled, I turned around and saw that the boy had already collapsed to the ground, beingbeaten to a pulp. Meanwhile, Michael was looking down at him coldly as rage churned inside him.

“How dare you touch my woman? You must be sick of living!” Michael stepped toward that man androared.

“F*ck! Who the hell is this bast*rd? You're just asking for trouble!” the other guy cursed after seeing hisfriend being beaten up.

He charged toward Michael at once and swung a punch at him. However, Michael managed to dodgehis fist effortlessly.Perhaps because they had never encountered women like Natalie and me in a pub before, theexpressions of the two guys darkened at once.

He then caught the boy's wrist and twisted it hard. The next moment, a cry of anguish ripped from the

guy's throat.

Natalie took the chance to make her way toward me. By then, I was already much awake.

Both of us were extremely relieved at Michael's timely arrival. He had arrived at the perfect momentindeed.

Looking at Michael's figure, I started to suspect that I could be hallucinating and that my eyes wereplaying tricks on me. Why would he be here?

However, the two young men who got taught a lesson by Michael were not about to take it lying down.They stood up from the ground and charged toward Michael together. Nevertheless, Michael gave thetwo guys another beating after being momentarily stunned. Just seconds later, those two guys werehowling in pain on the ground once again.

“This should teach you guys a lesson. That's what you get for touching my woman!”

Michael was boiling with anger as he stood in front of the two youths, overlooking them. After all, hewas a very possessive man. It was obvious what would have happened to Natalie and me if those twoguys had taken us away. Michael definitely knew it, too. Otherwise, he would not have been so furious.

“We're sorry! We won't do it again! Please have mercy on us!”

Knowing that they were not Michael's match and that they should not mess with the man, the two guysimmediately stood up and apologized profusely.

“Anna, Michael was really cool just now! If only Yuval was half as cool as him.”

Natalie grabbed my arm and looked at Michael with a smitten expression.

As I had witnessed Michael in a fight previously, I was not feeling too impressed. Besides, all I couldthink of at that moment was sleep.

With that, I leaned on Natalie's shoulder and closed my eyes.

When I woke up, I was already in the house at Birchwood. I looked at the familiar surroundings andmassaged my temples. As I had drunk too much and too quickly last night, I was having a badhangover.

“You're finally awake. I was expecting you to sleep through the entire day.”

Just then, Michael's voice rang out. He was speaking in a rather cold tone and seemed like he was in abad mood.

When I looked toward where the sound was coming from, I saw the man sitting on a chair beside thewindow. He was wearing a white shirt and had his legs crossed as he fixed his gaze on me.

“I... Why am I here?”

I had no recollection at all of how I ended up in the house. At that moment, even though I was alreadyawake, I was still feeling unwell, and my brain felt foggy.

“Have you forgotten what happened last night?” Michael stood up and strode toward me. I could tellthat he was trying to tamp down his irritation.

When I saw his expression, I started to panic and looked at him with caution as I tried to recall theprevious night's events that were surfacing in bits and pieces. Right then, I remembered that Michaelsuddenly appeared and saved us when those two guys were trying to take Natalie and me away.

“Thanks for last night.”

Despite my feelings toward him, I was still grateful to him for saving Natalie and me the night before. Iwas, in fact, very touched by what he did.

“Anna, it has only been one year since we last met, but it seems like you've gotten much bolder. Notonly that, but you've also become really wild, huh? You even went to the pub with your friend so late atnight. Do you even know what kind of people hang around there?” Michael said as he inched closer tome.

From the fire burning in his eyes, I was certain that he was about to explode with rage at any moment.

“T-That didn't cross my mind. We just wanted to go there and relax. I never expected such a thing tohappen,” I explained softly.

As I met his intimidating gaze, I lowered my head with guilt at once.

Actually, I did have some regrets over what happened last night. I had never expected that somethinglike that would happen during our first visit to a pub. I had also almost gotten Natalie into trouble. Ifsomething bad really happened to her, I would never forgive myself.

“Will you still dare to go to such places next time?” the man asked coldly, in a threatening tone.

“No. That would be the last time,” I answered without hesitation.

After all, those places were not for me. Even if Michael gave me permission to go again, I would not doit. Those dodgy places were simply too dangerous and risky to be at. Last night only happened as Iwas in a horrible mood and was not thinking straight.

I had learned my lesson after what had happened and would never set foot in places like that everagain.

“That's more like it. Just wait and see how I would deal with you if you dare to go to such shady placesagain next time!”

After Michael said that, he sat down beside me and passed me a bowl of hangover soup.
