บท 32: You Owe Me An Apology

Michael gazed at Yvonne, who had relaxed her body into his embrace. There was indeed a red handprint on her cheek. Wendy, on the other hand, had her head slightly bowed, and her chest was heaving.

"There is also a handprint on her face," said Michael calmly when his eyes landed on Wendy.

He did not push Yvonne away.

His words left both Yvonne and Wendy dumbfounded. Based on past experiences, Michael should be defending Yvonne without caring about any of the facts of the situation.

Even though his statement was not explicitly directed at anyone, Yvonne understood that Michael was leaning toward Wendy. Yvonne was so surprised that her mouth hung open.

Wendy, whose head was bowed, could not help but look up. She gazed at Michael with narrowed eyes, as if she were studying him carefully. 

She thought, is Michael turning over a new leaf? That doesn't feel very likely.

"Michael, what do you mean by that?" Yvonne finally calmed herself down.
