Michelle’s anger was unquenchable. She already knew that Ezrah lingered around, as she had planted a tracker on him when she slapped him. “It’s Ezrah. I already know. Just ignore him.”
“He will know for sure that you are Zora,” Coco reminded her, still unable to forget Lake’s behavior. This was the first time somebody left that kind of impression on her.
He was a friend of Ezrah, so how different could he be? She felt ashamed to admit that he unknowingly gave her the courage to stand up to River.
“I’m not hiding it. It’s about time I get him off my back,” Michelle said seriously. Rush was amused but angry with himself for his impulsive thinking earlier.
As soon as Rush drove into Michelle’s parents' house, Ezrah sped up and drove through the automated gate before they shut.
“Coco, you can go in and have something to eat. I will join you later,” Michelle said, hinting that she did not need anybody’s help.
Coco stepped out of the car first when Rush opened the door for her, and Ezrah equally stepped out of his car, leaned against it with his arms folded to his chest. When Michelle stepped out after Rush opened the door for her, Ezrah hastened to her.
“Are you still going to deny it?” He still could not be polite, but this time, he was met with a strange fire in Michelle, causing him to doubt himself.
