I noticed this a few days ago. I felt closer to Michael emotionally, but I thought it was because we had more contact. But Michael didn't seem to be implying that at the moment. And what about Lycan and marking?
Michael pretended to be dissatisfied and complained, "You're so passionate every day. You're almost squeezing me dry. I didn't realize you had such a lewd side to you!"
I couldn't bear it anymore as I listened to him twist the truth. "Explain what you meant."
Michael said, "I've been keeping you locked up for the past few days. Are you dissatisfied? Do you still think I'm an unreasonable tyrant?"
'Aren't you?' I didn't dare to retort directly. Instead, I only glanced at Michael.
"I'm not a dictator, Cecily." Michael sighed. "I do things for my reasons. I don't expect everyone to understand me, but you're my mate. So I demand that you maintain your trust in me. Do you understand?"
