Chapter 36: MEETING WITH LEIGHTON FAMILY
"If he loves you, it will not be hard for you to look for him. You don’t even need to look for him; he will be the one who comes to you, just like how he was with River. I have never seen River coming here to look for Arlo; if anything, it will be the other way around."
Michael looked very smug when he said those things; he couldn’t care less how he made Aubrey feel about this. In his eyes, River was the only sister-in-law that he would accept. Not to mention, he didn’t really like Aubrey; she was too ’sophisticated’ for his taste.
Even now, Michael couldn’t understand why Arlo chose to be with Aubrey when it was very obvious that he still had not moved on from River; he was avoiding Aubrey now, and she was too stupid to realize it.
"Shut up!" Aubrey growled at him; she was seeing red. "If he really loved River, he would not choose to be with me! I am the one who is pregnant with his child."
"Yeah. Your child doesn’t prove anything." Michael shrugged his shoulders. "I am used to sleeping with an escort too, and I can get them pregnant if they fool me and I am not being careful."
"Watch your words!" Aubrey raised her hand; she was going to slap him, but Michael swatted it away with full force, which he was sure would bruise her hand.
"Be careful, Aubrey. I don’t mind hitting a woman, and you are not River. You will not be able to handle me." Michael’s expression turned grim. "Now, scram."
Michael lived with his brother; though he had his own apartment, he simply liked it to be here.
"Fuck you, Michael!" Aubrey cussed him out.
"No, thanks. I don’t fuck a woman that my brother has fucked, especially if the woman is you. I can do better."
That was a complete humiliation for Aubrey; she really wanted to scratch Michael’s face and kick him in the balls, but then he was right. She was not River; she wouldn’t be able to handle a scuffle with him, and she believed him when he said that he was going to hit her. Michael was insane.
