Chapter 0021
I have something else to take care of. Ill take my leave, said Miranda
Micah refused to let her leave just like that. All these years, Hansel has treated you like his belonging and hid you in his house. I couldnt even meet you.
Miranda looked up as her smile faded. What are you trying to say?
Micah replied, Back then, you turned both of us down once but eventually chose him over me. Its only because he persisted for a longer time and was more clingy.
But did it cross your mind that hed persisted just because he was more eager to win in that rivalry?
At that moment, Mirandas already broken heart seemed to shatter into pieces once more. What she thought had been a show of deep affection had been nothing more than a mans competitive spirit?
Noting her pale face, Micah felt sorry. He tried to caress her face, but she took a step back before he could touch her. She put some distance between them. Mr. Lawson, please have some selfrespect.
Micah pressed closer. Stop faking it. I know you two have split up.
So what? Miranda looked up with a smile.
Mimi, you should be with me. Ill appreciate you and love you more than Hansel. Whatever you desire, Ill try my best to fulfill your wishes, all as long as youre willing to be with me.
Be it six years ago or even now, Micahs heart still raced when he saw Miranda. He knew hed never forgotten her.
Miranda smiled. Do you think Id jump into another lions den right after escaping one? Mr. Lawson, it was nice meeting you today, but lets go our separate ways from now on.
With that, she turned and left. Now, she didnt want to have anything to do with either Hansel or Micah. And it would be best for them to stop pestering

her.
Micahs eyes darkened as he stared at Mirandas slender figure.
Suddenly, he let out a soft sigh. Chuckling, he mumbled, Mimi, you cant stop this singlehandedly. Do you think youll be able to escape?
He didnt know that someone had witnessed the whole thing from a distance.
Zach glanced at the photo hed taken and smiled in satisfaction. It just so happened that Sam was there too. When he came out to take a breather, he saw Zach smiling slyly while holding his phone.
Whats with that disgusting smile? Sam asked.
Zach didnt mind his offensive words. He smugly raised his phone and it at him.
Sam was quick to notice who was on the screen. Miranda?
aved
Zach tilted his head upward while humming in acknowledgment. He seemed eager for gossip. And Micah. Ive sent it to Hans.
Theyd witnessed how those two men had fought over Miranda all those years. ago. Whenever they recalled how crazy Hansel had been, they couldnt help but shake their heads.
Sams gaze darkened. Theyve just broken up, and Micah appeared instantly. Besides, judging from Mirandas attitude...
He paused. When he continued, his tone sounded meaningful. I guess
Mirandas breaking up for sure this time.
No, no, no. Miranda wouldnt have that in her. Just wait and see. Shed never break up with Hans. Better put, shed never leave Hans.
Then why did you send that photo to Hans?
Zach didnt think much of it. Its just a joke. I want to rubberneck. Its nothing, right?
Sam arched an eyebrow. Dont take it too far, or else itll affect your friendship.

All I did was take a photo. Besides, look at how Hans is treating Miranda. Shes just his ex. He wont take it seriously. Look at the photo. The angles. perfect, isnt it? Look at the vibe it shows...
Sams gaze fell on Mirandas pretty side profile. Youre right; shes just his ex. Its normal for other guys to want to woo her.
