Chapter 357
Seeing that Natalie was no longer feeling awkward, I walked to her side, took her arm, and sat down
with her. I looked at her expectantly and said, “Your rtionship with Yuval must be doing well since
you guys are already making out. I don''t even know you guys have confirmed your rtionship.”
Natalie was still unsure if she would be with Yuval thest time I asked her. It had only been two
months since, and they were already making out with each other.
Natalie ignored my protests and retorted, “You''re always so busy. Do I have to report to you every little
event in my daily life?”
“You are my best friend. Shouldn''t you tell me if you have found yourself a boyfriend?” I pursed my lips
as I looked at Natalie in dissatisfaction. She''s quite good at keeping it secret too. I don''t even know how
long they have been together.
After hearing my words, Natalie lowered her head and looked troubled. “I wanted to tell you about it,
but I was afraid that you would be upset. So, that''s why I have been thinking about how to break
the news to you.”
“What are you talking about? Why would I be upset when you found the love of your life? Didn''t I
already tell you that I don''t have any feelings for Yuval? Now that I think about it, it was kind of funny. I
was desperate to get married at that time, so I didn''t care if I was in love with him or not.”

I admit that Yuval is a good man. He is mature, has a good temper, and has a respectable ie. In
any case, he would be an ideal partner, but I didn''t have any feelings for him at that time. I only treated
him as a friend.
“I''m relieved you said that. I was going to tell you in the beginning, but I was afraid you would get upset.
That''s why I dyed the news until now.”
After hearing my words, Natalie heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the matter had made her feel
very troubled.
I shook my head resignedly. The rtionship between Yuval and me was ancient history. I can''t believe
she still remembers it.
Seemingly to recall something, Natalie turned to me and asked me with a puzzled expression, “By the
way, why are you not at your mansion and keeping Michaelpany thiste in the night? Why have
youe to my ce?”
My mood had improved a lot, and I had forgotten about what had happened that night after resolving
the issue between Natalie and Yuval. After Natalie mentioned it, I recalled what had happened again.
I lowered my gaze as I became a little disheartened. I remembered that Josephine had found out the
baby''s gender without my consent, and Michael even knew about it. I was kept in the dark like a fool.
Come to think of it; I have never felt this disappointed in Michael before. I never thought that he would
do this to me.
After seeing my disheartened expression, Natalie asked me in concern, “What''s wrong, Anna? Why do
you look upset? Did you have a fight with Michael?”
I sighed and told her everything that had happened that day. Natalie is the only one I can confide in
with these matters. She is my only friend who will think of me from my perspective.
After she heard my words, Natalie became angry. “That''s some mother-inw you got there! I can''t
believe she went and found out about the baby''s gender. Hasn''t she heard of gender equality? So what
if the baby is a girl? Is she not Michael''s child too? Do they want you to abort the child if she is a girl?”
Natalie looked furious as she spoke about the treatment I had received. After hearing her words, I was
touched because she understood what I was feeling.
However, she didn''t know that I had grown up in a patriarchal household. Although I hid it well, I didn''t
want these things to happen to my child.
“Natalie, I''m feeling really troubled right now.”
Raising my head, I looked ahead with a disappointed look on my face.
“Anna, I understand how you feel. How could Michael just let his mother do this? This is disrespectful to
you and your child!” said Natalie angrily. If she were me, she would have gone mad by now.
I could understand if Michael didn''t know about the matter. However, if he did and still didn''t stop his
mother, I really doubt he even cared about our child.
“Natalie, what should I do? Michael is downstairs now, but I don''t want to see him. I be upset
whenever I think about how he and Josephine work together to deceive me. He is the person I trust the
most!”
I knew that Michael was still downstairs, and I didn''t know how I should face him. I didn''t like him when
he was like this.
After hearing that, Natalie walked to the balcony and peered down. “Yeah, his car is still there. He''s
probably waiting for you.”
After taking a look, Natalie pulled the curtains close. She looked like she was even more upset than
me.
Natalie sat beside me, put her hand on my shoulder, and said, “If you don''t want to see him, you can
stay here. I have a spare room. You can stay for as long as you like.”
After hearing Natalie''s words, I hesitated for a moment before nodding. Although I couldn''t bear to let
Michael wait alone downstairs, I knew I had to make it clear to Michael that I would not tolerate
Josephine''s behavior and his inaction.
After Natalie gave me some words of advice, I went back to my previous room to rest. Even if I had
been away for so long, the things on my bed were still there, so I didn''t have to spend time tidying up.
As Iy on the bed, I was still thinking about the matter. When I thought about Michael''s face, I put on
my slippers and walked to the window.
I looked down at the spot that Michael had parked his car just now. His car was still there, but I didn''t
know what was happening inside his vehicle.
I couldn''t bear to let Michael wait there for the night, but I was still angry at him for asking me to
compromise.
I pulled the curtains close and stopped looking at Michael''s spot. If he is willing to wait, I''ll just let him
be. He totally deserves this, and I will never forgive him easily.
