Chapter 579
“But I still love you until this day. Back then, you told me that you will love me for the rest of my life.
Does your promise not count for anything?”
As Leanne looked at Michael with tears in her eyes, the words she spoke were a reflection of how
heavy-hearted she felt.
“If we didn''t break up then, my feelings for you might have never changed. However, many
rtionships don''t stand the test of time. What both of us used to have is now in the past and is never
coming back.”
Michael spoke in a serious tone, as this was the first time he had the opportunity to chat with her
calmly.
“Michael, don''t leave me, all right? I know I was in the wrong when I left you for money back then.
Please give me another chance. I''ll definitely help you find the feelings you have for me back then, all
right?” Leanne pleaded as she grabbed Michael''s arm.
As I watched on with an indifferent expression, I didn''t feel anxious at all, for I was confident that
Michael wouldn''t reconcile with her. After all, I was the only one who mattered to him.
After pulling his hand away from Leanne without any hesitation, Michael gave her an icy stare.
“Leanne, now that I''ve said everything that needs to be said, this is the end of the line for both of us.
From now on, don''t ever show your face in front of me. I don''t ever want you disrupting my life again.”
Having given her his ultimatum, Michael stood up and left with me in tow without giving Leanne a
second nce.
Inside the car, I didn''t know what to say amidst the silence and solemn look on his face.
“Are you feeling troubled right now? Does it break your heart to see how much pain Leanne is going
through?”
Even though I wasn''t fond of Leanne at all, my heart began to waver when I saw the despair and
suffering she felt.
“No. On the contrary, I feel relieved that this matter hase to a close. Going forward, you no longer
have to be worried about me having an illegitimate child somewhere,” Michael responded to my words
without hesitation.
“Leanne is your ex. Hence, I don''t believe that you feel nothing for her at all. Even if you pity or
sympathize with her, I''m fine with it. After all, I''m not someone who is heartless.”
“But I still love you until this day. Back then, you told me that you will love me for the rest of my life.
Does your promise not count for anything?”
“But I still lova you until this day. Back than, you told ma that you will lova ma for tha rast of my lifa.
Doas your promisa not count for anything?”

“Ara you faaling troud right now? Doas it braak your haart to saa how much pain Laanna is going

Evan though I wasn''t fond of Laanna at all, my haart bagan to wavar whan I saw tha daspair and

“Laanna is your ax. Hanca, I don''t baliava that you faal nothing for har at all. Evan if you pity or
sympathiza with har, I''m fina with it. Aftar all, I''m not somaona who is haarss.”
I assumed Michael said all that because he was worried about me getting angry.
“Didn''t I just say that there isn''t any? Do you actually wish for me to still have residual feelings for her?”
Michael retorted with displeasure written all over his face.
In response, I gave him the side-eye and rebutted in exasperation, “Of course I don''t mean that. Unless
there''s something wrong with me, why would I hope that you still have residual feelings for her?”
He knows how sensitive I am toward their rtionship. So, why does he need to say such things to
trigger me on purpose?
Slowing the car down, Michael looked in my direction and exined earnestly, “Since you don''t hope
that, then don''t ever bring up her name in front of me again. To me, she is a nobody. The only people
who matter to me are you and Amaury.”
His words caused my heart to skip a beat as bliss began to emanate throughout my body.
Now that the matter had been concluded, both of us would never fight over it again.
During the next few days, our lives went back to normal and Leanne didn''t show up anymore.
Subsequently, Michael received a call from her. However, she wasn''t trying to cause any more trouble
this time. Instead, she was notifying us that she was leaving.
Her decision was music to my ears because I couldn''t be any happier that she was finally leaving,
never to return. Even though she was no longer a threat to us, just the thought of her was enough to
unsettle me still.
Nevertheless, Leanne had a final request. She wanted Michael to send her to the airport so that she
could say her farewell.
Deep down, I was reluctant for both of them to still have any interaction at all. But since she was about
to leave, I decided to show some mercy and subsequently agreed.
After all, he was just going to send her to the airport, and nothing would likely happen. Thus, there was
no reason for me to worry at all.
At first, Michael was unwilling to go until I persuaded him to do so. In his words, I was the most
magnanimousdy he had seen in his entire life to actually let my own husband send his ex to the
airport.
When Michael was headed to the airport, I went to visit Alicia. Ever since Leanne''s appearance
recently, I didn''t manage to see her at all.
Also, I didn''t know how Jte was doing. Since a lot of time had passed since the incident, I
wondered if she had managed to recover from it.
After buying some fruits, I arrived at Alicia''s home. The first moment I saw her, I felt that she wasn''t
having it easy still because she looked more haggard than before.
When I saw how exhausted she was, I knitted my brows in concern. “Why do you look so tired? Did
you not get enough rest?”
“I''m fine. It''s Jte. She''s a little rebellious recently.”
When Alicia sighed in resignation while talking about Jte, it made her look even more drained than
before.
“What''s wrong with her? Did something happen again?”
The only person who could cause Alicia to worry was Jte.
“I don''t know what has gotten into her recently. She would note home at night and would dress like
an escort. In fact, she doesn''t look like a daughter from a proper family anymore. I did lecture her about
it a few times, but it has fallen on deaf ears.”
While Alicia was speaking, tears were already welling up in her eyes. Evidently, she was very much
troubled by what was going on with Jte.
Upon hearing Alicia''s words, I furrowed my brows in exasperation. After Jte''s incident, both Alicia
and I spent a lot of effort helping her recover. Unfortunately, no one expected her to turn out that way,
causing me to feel that all our earlier efforts had gone to waste.
Patting Alicia on her shoulder, I reassured her, “Don''t worry. When Jtees home, I''ll talk to her.”
Even though I was cognizant that she wouldn''t listen to me, I still couldn''t resist teaching her a lesson.
After all, everyone was doing their best for her, and yet, she repaid us with such irresponsible behavior.
Initially, I assumed that she would be all right once she got over the incident. But now, she seemed to
have changed into a different person.
“Anna, it breaks my heart every time I see Jte acting this way.”
