It felt disgusting.

| walked aimlessly on the street. When | returned to the Ford residence, It was already dark outside.

My phone ran out of battery long ago. It wasn’t like anyone would contactanyway.

“Stephanie, where did you go?” When Michael saw me, he was furious. “Why didn’t you answer my calls?” He rushed toand grabbed my shoulders.

At that moment, it looked like he was extremely worried about me.

| slapped away his arm and turned around coldly. “It ran out of battery.” He was irritated. “Is it that hard for you to apologize for your mistake? Why do you act like you were accused?” | kept my silence.

He was angry about my attitude. But after grabbing my wrist, his expression fell. “Where’s your bracelet?” Surprised, | turned around and looked at him. He actually noticed my bracelet was gone.

| thought he wouldn't even care if | died.

“I lost it,” | said as if | didn’t care.

“Stephanie! Don’t you know that bracelet was my...” Michael stopped speaking halfway.
