Michael stared at me deeply. He didn’t ask me why I was here, and I didn’t ask him. None of us mentioned the quarrel in the morning.

We might all need an explanation, but not now, not this moment.

I could sense the distance between our hearts. It had nothing to do with what happened between us, no matter how many conflicts or suspicions we had. The person in front of me belonged to me, and my heart knew that.

Michael grabbed my hand and suddenly frowned. I saw him take off his coat and put it on me.

Michael touched my face and sighed. “It’s so cold. How long have you been outside?”

“It’s been a long time,” I said in a low voice.

“Can you tell me the reason?” Michael said.

“What about you? And why are you here?” I asked.

When I first saw Michael, I thought he had discovered I wasn’t in the room, so he came to find me. But after walking out of the forest with Michael, I thought back to Michael’s clothes and actions at the time, and I felt it was not the case.

If Michael had wanted to find me, he wouldn’t have wrapped himself up so tightly and wouldn’t have come out alone. There would always be a lot of people behind him.

He was dressed like he was out on business, and I was just a coincidence.

Michael didn’t say anything. I whispered disappointedly, “You still don’t want to tell me?”

Michael sighed and said, “If I didn’t tell you, would you still run out like this without any preparation? Then, you’d get lost in the forest. Even today, if you were killed by someone who came out of nowhere. I will never know why. I can only hold your dead body and do meaningless revenge.”

“Revenge? If I die, will you kill the person who killed me?” I looked up at Michael.

“It’s not just that.” Michael reached out and pulled me into his arms. “Baby, I’ll destroy everything. I won’t let go of anything related to you.”

“That would be terrifying.”

“Yes, it’s very scary. And you will destroy me,” Michael said with certainty.

In my mind, I imagined Michael’s appearance at that time. The furious Michael would kill everyone who wanted to harm me. I felt a subtle sense of satisfaction in my heart, but this man might also destroy himself, as he said. My heart began to ache again.

Michael was such a good person. Even if I really lost my life to those arrows today, I still hoped he could live well.

“I won’t let you die,” I promised.

“Then, you should live well.”

“What about you?” I nodded.

I looked at him intently, and Michael knew what I was saying.

I took the initiative to apologize and promised him I would treasure myself and not do anything stupid.

On this night, I didn’t want to hide or lie. I communicated with Michael with 120% sincerity. I didn’t know what else I could do if Michael couldn’t talk to me in this situation and atmosphere.

“I’m…”

Michael wanted to avoid my gaze, but I found out.

He turned his gaze back and said thoughtfully, “I’m very sorry for everything that happened today.

“If you’re here for what happened this morning, it’s fine. We’re both at fault for the fight. As for what happened after that…” I paused for a moment before saying, “You locked me up. You know I hate being treated like this. This is your fault.”

“It’s my fault.” Michael held my fingers one by one. “I regretted it very soon. I planned to tell you about it when I get back tonight.”

I shook my head and smiled. “But I didn’t let you do whatever you wanted to me. I snuck out again.”

Michael also laughed. “Yes, my mate has never been a puppet. She always has her ideas, and I love her very much. ”

I firmly held Michael’s hand back. “But as you can see, I’ve also paid a price today. I’ve done something wrong, so I’m being punished. Let’s call today’s matter a draw, so let’s not discuss this. Michael, give me a chance to be by your side.”

Michael’s eyelashes trembled slightly. “Cecily, you know you are the most important person to me. I don’t want you to get hurt at all.”

“I believe in that.”

“If there’s something I don’t want to tell you, it means that it has nothing to do with you and is dangerous.”

The bright moonlight shone on the vast land like water, softening our hearts and Michael’s handsome face.
