Chapter 267 Mom, do you want to take a shower? Part2

Betty slipped into her nightgown in the bedroom and cautiously emerged, avoiding lingering under Michael's gaze for too long despite her conservative attire.

After entering the bedroom, Betty shut the door behind her, while Michael, seated on the couch, finally diverted his attention from the TV.

He watched the closed door, a slight smirk playing on his lips, sensing that Betty was almost within his grasp.

In the bathroom, Betty's hands hesitated at the hem of her nightgown, poised to pull it off, but she paused abruptly.

In her rush, she had forgotten to lock the door.

Normally, when she was home alone, locking the door was unnecessary.

Now, with Michael back, the dynamics had changed.

Alone with a man in the house, her usual habit of not locking the bathroom door seemed suddenly imprudent.

Betty eyed the door behind her, wrestling with whether to lock it.

Leaving it unlocked could invite an unwanted intrusion from Michael, leaving her vulnerable and exposed.
