Chapter 034 The duration of our conversations grew shorter

Watching Betty hesitate between two nightgowns, my heart couldn't help but tighten. It was just a choice of sleepwear, but it was crucial.

Deep down, I hoped Betty would opt for the more conservative one, to better shield herself from Michael's advances. Yet, I had a sinking feeling I was about to be disappointed again.

Betty has always treated Michael like her own son, and their relationship seemed to have deepened tonight. With her easygoing nature, she was bound to choose the more relaxed, sexier option...

Betty pondered over her choice for a long time, but finally seemed to make up her mind.

Just when I thought I had her figured out, Betty surprised me. She put the sexy nightdress back in the closet and, under my stunned gaze, slipped into the conservative nightgown, even adding a bra underneath. What was going on?

Had she sensed something off about last night?

Was she now on guard around Michael?

I realized I was starting to understand Betty less and less.
