Chapter 145


    I looked up at him in confusion.


    “There''s a hundred thousand in this card. Go buy yourself some new clothes or something. You can


    throw all of your old clothes away if you want.”


    Michael''s tone was neutral when he said that, but I felt ufortable at how he was treating me like a


    sugar baby.


    “Thanks, but I can afford to do my own shopping, so you can keep your money.”


    I refused his offer and ced the card on the nightstand.


    After all the money Michael had given me so far, I couldn''t bring myself to ept any more from him.


    Although he had paid for Steven''s surgery bills because of our deal, I had cost him hundreds of


    thousands in just a few months.


    “You''re my woman now, so don''t worry about it and just take whatever money I give you. I don''t mind


    giving you money as long as you don''t have any ulterior motives for being with me.”


    I knew Michael was a generous man capable of offering insane amounts of money like it was nothing,


    but thatst sentence he said hurt me deeply.


    What does he mean by ulterior motives? Is it because all the women around him are after his money,


    so he finds it suspicious that I''m refusing his offer?


    “Rx, I know what you mean. You and I are merely f*ck buddies, and nothing more.”


    It wasn''t the first time Michael had reminded me of our rtionship, and I was well aware that we had


    nothing between us outside of this house.

    Right as I thought he was about to leave, he turned around at the door and said coldly, “Oh, and you''d


    better take care of Yuval as soon as possible. I don''t like my women being in messy rtionships.”


    I looked up in a panic when I heard him mention Yuval, and my gaze was met with a firm look in his


    eyes.


    “I will. I''m going to talk to him about it today.”


    I knew exactly what he meant. Whatever it was that I had going on with Yuval had to stop now that I


    was back with Michael.


    Knowing how possessive he was, there was no telling what he would do if he found out that I''m still


    seeing other men.


    Michael left after getting a satisfactory reply from me, and the room fell into silence once again.


    I felt my chest tighten as I stared at the door and thought about what he said earlier.


    Michael had a tendency to touch my heart with his words, only to send it back to rock bottom


    immediately after.


    I made myself a very simple breakfast and gave Yuval a call afterward to exin everything.


    We could no longer be together as I had decided to continue my rtionship with Michael, so I had to


    make it clear to him.


    Yuval was a little surprised when he got my call and seemed hesitant in his response. I assumed he


    thought I was calling him to borrow money or something.


    We agreed to meet up at a café, and I had arrived ahead of time. It was usually Yuval who would arrive


    early for our dates, but he showed up thirty minutester that day.


    “I''m so sorry for beingte, Anna. Have you been waiting for long?” Yuval apologized profusely as he


    sat down in front of me.


    “That''s okay. You''ve always been the one waiting for me, so it''s only fair that I wait for you this time.”


    I didn''t really mind him beingte as I had made up my mind to tell him the truth anyway. I had agreed


    to date him in the first ce because I thought our personalitiesplemented each other, but I


    neglected the fact that he wasn''t the kind of guy I wanted to be with.


    “So... Why did you want to see me all of a sudden?” Yuval asked after ordering a cup of coffee.


    I looked up at him and said calmly, “There''s something I need to talk to you about.”


    “What is it?” he asked softly while looking me straight in the eye.


    “Yuval, I came to break up with you. I don''t think we should be seeing each other.”


    I cut to the chase without any hesitation as I knew Michael would get mad at me if I didn''t cut ties with


    Yuval.


    “Huh? Why do you want to break up with me?”


    Yuval looked at me in shock and panic as what I said waspletely beyond his expectations.


    “I just feel that we''re not suitable for each other. I''ve been giving it a lot of thought and decided to tell


    you about it today.”


    I had actually nned on breaking up with Yuval a long time ago. Whenever those thoughts surfaced, I


    would remind myself of how hard it was to find someone suitable for marriage and convince myself to


    stay with him.


    “What''s gotten into you today, Anna? Why are you breaking up with me all of a sudden? Did I do


    something wrong?”


    That was the first time I had seen Yuval look so anxious.


    “It''s not you, it''s me. I agreed to date you at first because I thought you were a decent match for me,


    but I recently realized that I only see you as a friend instead of a boyfriend.”


    I knew what I said was hurtful, but I had to make a choice between the two of them, and Michael was


    the only one capable of helping me out.


    “I think we''re doing pretty fine, so I find your exnation a little hard to believe. Is this because I didn''t


    help you out with your family situation?”


    He''s bringing up my family, so that means he has been thinking about it. He thinks I''m mad at him for


    not helping me.


    “You''re overthinking it, Yuval. We aren''t all that close, so you have no obligations whatsoever to help


    me out.”


    Despite what I said, I did actually mind as I waspletely helpless at the time, and all he did was give


    me some useless advice.


    Of course, those feelings had disappearedpletely after Michael took care of my problems for me,


    so I didn''t feel sad about breaking up with Yuval at all. If anything, I simply found it a shame that I had


    to let go of a decent guy like him.
