Chapter 226 Michael had arrived first, followed closely by Betty

"Wake up, I'll make you breakfast..." Betty emerged from the bathroom and instinctively glanced towards the bedroom.

She caught me awake, watching her.

A fleeting look of discomfort flashed across her eyes.

Her hand, clutching her phone, twitched as if to hide it, but she controlled the impulse and softly spoke those words before heading to the kitchen.

As she turned away, it felt like she was escaping something.

Perhaps my sudden awakening caught her off guard.

She must have been messaging Michael in the bathroom, and my gaze upon her exit made her momentarily tense and surprised.

I got up and went into the bathroom.

After washing my face and looking at my reflection, my mind raced with thoughts.

The morning was filled with oddities, starting with Betty taking her phone to the bathroom, which she never used to do.

Now, she even kept it on her while making breakfast.
