A Crazy Wife

Chapter 42 I Have a Crush on Someone Else

Hannah looks distant and polite, her words distinct and straightforward.

"Although Dr Mosby comes here so often that you are not considered as an outsider anymore, I think

it's still better if you could be polite in terms of address. My family probably won't misconstrue your

behaviour, but I'm afraid that people out there are going to misinterpret this."

Michael's face changes slightly and he looks at her in surprise, "You..."

"Michael!"

A clear voice interrupts Michael Mosby before his words could be heard.

Hannah draws back her hand, looking at where the sound comes from, only to see that Rainy has just

returned, who plunges into Michael's arm as soon as she gets in, and whose face is filled with joy.

"What are you doing here, Michael? When did you get here? And you did not say a word to me that

you would come!"

Even if she did not have the memory of the previous Hannah, Hannah would still know clearly why

Rainy has had so much animosity towards her, solely by seeing what happens just now.

Previously, she thinks that it is because Rainy thinks that her big brother Chester is indeed a good

catch. Only because he is crippled did he end up marrying someone like her, a cowardly and ordinary

woman.

Now it seems that the biggest reason is with Michael.

Women only express their greatest hostility when their interests are at stake.

Rainy likes Michael, which she makes no secret of.

But judging from Michael's attitude, he is interested in Hannah, which Rainy may not necessarily

realize, but she must have at least noticed how Michael takes extra care of Hannah. So, she is jealous.

"Well you guys talk, I'm going outside to see why Chester isn't back yet."

Hannah is conscious of what Rainy wants so she stands up and walks out.

She doesn't want to make enemies, Rainy is after all the second Lady of the Shahbaz family, although

it is unlikely they could be friends, but it is a bad idea to be enemies under the same roof, so the best

thing to do at this point is to keep a distance from Michael Mosby, even at the risk of offending him.

"Michael, I haven't seen you for a long time. I call you and you don't reply. Every time I go to the

hospital to look for you, those interns you bring along tell me that you’re busy and unavailable. Are you

trying to hide from me?"

As soon as Hannah arrives at the door, she heard Rainy’s grumbling, amorous complaint, so

inconsistent with her usual wilfulness and unreasonableness, which makes her shiver all over, and

most of her sweat stand on end.

"How could I be??" Michael awkwardly stood up and made his way to the couch, "It's late. I'm leaving.

Good evening. Rainy "

"I told you that I didn't like you calling me Rainy. Just call me Rayray."

"I have to go." Michael's tries to chase the figure in the doorway.

"Michael..."

Rainy grabs his arm with both hands. Gritting her teeth, she says,

"Michael! You know what I feel about you. I've been waiting for you all these years, why won't you just

love me back?"

Michael turns a little pale and he hesitates for a long time before finally turning around,

"Rainy, look, there are some things I think I'd better make clear, but you're a girl, so I can't be harsh on

you. Please understand."

"I don't understand!"

Rainy's face turns red, "Why you don’t like me, tell me and I’ll change."

"It’s not you. It’s me." Mosby frowns, "It's just not right."

"Have you already has a crush on someone?" Rainy pursues the question.

Michael's face turns stiff, as he suddenly thinks of the weak and soft figure in his memory.

After a moment's silence, he looks up and squares his head, "Yes, I have."

Rainy has now watery eyes, only when she sees that he will not have the slightest intention to change

his words, she stomps his foot and runs up the stairs.

"I hate you!"

Although Hannah is standing outside the courtyard, she hears all of this clearly through the open door.

Rainy's stalking routine would be unbearable for any normal man, but after hearing her saying 'I hate

you', she still couldn't help but feel sad for her for a few seconds.

After all, she's pretty open and honest about this relationship thing.

When the farce is over, Hannah prepares to go home, just as Michael comes out with his medicine

case, so she smiles to him politely

"Is Dr Mosby leaving? Good evening and travel safely."

Michael, however, looks complicated, and for some reason, he even looks back, embarrassed,

"You heard all that?"

Hannah shakes her head, "no, I didn’t. I didn't hear anything."

It is better not to get involved in their conflict. The less trouble the better.

Michael frowns, "Why do I feel like you've changed?"

"What about me that has changed?" Hannah pretends to be puzzled, "Have I lost weight? Or worse,

gains some?"

"No," Michael couldn't say why, but he feels that the Hannah in front of him is different from what she is

before, "Hannie, why didn’t you contact me after you got out of prison? If it isn't for this time when the

senior master faints and I come over for a clinic visit, I would have thought you were still behind bars."

"There is no need," Hannah took a step to the side, to keep a certain distance, "It's enough for my

family to know about such a trivial matter as my release from prison. It’s not a thing worthy of telling

everyone. Thank you for caring though."

"What are you afraid of?"

Michael suddenly looks annoyed and takes a step closer, "You weren't this polite with me before, did

someone say something to you?"

"Dr Mosbysby. Please stop."

Hannah suddenly raises her voice, making Michael's face stiffen. And he stops.

Hannah's expression is cool and clear, which says “please keep a distance”.

"I heard you talking to Rainy just now in a well-structured manner, so I guess you know how far to go

and when to stop. That is why I won’t directly say this. You may have misunderstood something during NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

your medical care for me, and let me explain once and for all today, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of

the Shahbaz family and you are the private doctor. We will have nothing more. It has always been that

way, and it's only ever going to be that way."

Michael's warm eyes trembles slightly, seemingly a little hurt, "Han..."

"It's Mrs Shahbaz." Hannah corrects him with a straight face.

"Mrs Shahbaz... "Michael clutches the medical kit in his hands, the bewilderment on his face gradually

dissipating, leaving only a few points of self-deprecation.

He muffles "Yes, Mrs Shaw, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, Michael quickly turns around and leaves the courtyard, his hurry could be seen to be

at a loss for words.

Hannah's mood is somewhat complicated, but what matters is that she is relieved.

As she is about to turn back to the house, the corner of her eye catches, behind the trunk of the sturdy

sycamore tree, a dark shadow that is swinging along with the leaves of the tree in the wind. She

stiffens, pausing in place for a few seconds, and enters the house without stopping to check.

Shortly after, she hears the servant's voice downstairs.

"Has the eldest master returned for dinner?"

"..."

The shadow she saw just now was Chester.

She stands behind the bedroom door and sees through the crack in the door the figure in a wheelchair

in the living room downstairs.

Chester comes in just as Michael is talking with her, so he has heard what she and Michael said at the

door, but now he seems untroubled.
