Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Michael had always been easygoing, but this was the first time he had ever spoken so harshly to Anissa.

Anissa was livid.

She reached out and slapped Michael across the face with a loud smack.

"You're my son. If I want to control your marriage, so what?"

"Michael, let me tell you, as long as I'm alive, you can forget about marrying a woman from a mediocre family."

Anissa's domineering and unreasonable attitude infuriated Michael. He clutched his face, ready to fight back.

Just then, Philip arrived.

He burst through the door just in time to see Anissa's slap land on Michael's face. Philip rushed over and shielded Michael behind him.

Michael had paid him a lot of money, and he had to show some loyalty.

Before coming, Philip had put on a bit of makeup to appear more feminine.

After positioning Michael behind him, he raised his hand in a flamboyant gesture and started confronting Anissa.

"Anissa, what are you doing? How can you just hit my man like that?"

"What do you mean you have to control his marriage? Are you trying to break us up?"

As soon as Philip started talking, Anissa felt a headache coming on. This person, who was neither fully male nor female, seemed to be everywhere.

She stood there, stunned, holding a silk nightgown in her hand. Philip noticed the gown and snatched it from her.

"Anissa, have some boundaries, will you? Why are you touching my lingerie? Let me tell you, Mic loves seeing me in this nightgown."

"What if you got it dirty?"

Philip had been taking acting classes recently and had gotten quite good at playing this flamboyant character.

"You... you... What the hell are you, a man or a woman?""noveldrama

Anissa pointed at Philip, her hand trembling with anger.

Philip crossed his arms, met Anissa's gaze, and in a high-pitched voice said, "Anissa, how can you talk like that?"

"Even though I'm a man, I love Mic, and Mic loves me. We truly love each other. What right do you have to break us up?"

Philip's acting was so convincing that he almost seemed like a woman.

Anissa was at her wit's end dealing with Philip.

Rena watched Philip's performance in amazement. She had no idea Philip could be so shameless.

Philip's shamelessness eased the pressure Anissa had been putting on her.

Meanwhile, Michael watched Philip's antics without reacting, as if he were enjoying a show. He was quite pleased with the current situation.

Anissa was livid.

But Philip continued to pester her as if he didn't notice her anger.

"Anissa, I really love Mic. Trust me, I'll take good care of him. You can rest assured." "Ma'am, I know you're kind-hearted and beautiful. You'll definitely support Mic and me, right?"

Faced with Philip, who seemed like a madman, Anissa couldn't take it anymore.

She turned to Michael, exasperated, and said angrily, "Michael, how can you do this?" Seeing Anissa's anger directed at him, Michael nonchalantly sat on the couch.

He crossed his legs and spread his hands, saying, "Mom, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"I find a woman to marry, and you disapprove as if no woman in the world is good enough for me."

"I find a man to marry, and you ask how I can do that. So, what do you want me to do?"

"You don't like women, and you don't like men. Are you expecting me to bring home an animal next?"

Michael's words made Rena burst out laughing.

Anissa looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, utterly speechless.

Philip, seeing that Anissa was at a loss for words, turned to Michael and hugged his

arm.

"Mic, why look for an animal? You still have me."

"I'm obedient, understanding, and always available. Much better than an animal."

"Don't worry. I'll stand by your side and convince Anissa to approve us. Mic, I love you."

"Mic, tonight, you be on top, and let's try to have a baby."

Philip's increasingly outrageous remarks were something conservative Anissa had never heard before.

Unable to take it any longer, Anissa looked at the scene in front of her and retched. Under everyone's gaze, Anissa grabbed her bag and fled in a hurry.

As she left, she pointed at Michael and said, "Mic, when did you become like this? You've really disappointed me."

Michael didn't chase after her. He knew it was time for Anissa to reflect.

Sometimes, being too controlling wasn't a good thing.

Interfering too much in her children's lives wouldn't earn their respect.

After Anissa left, Philip let go of Michael's arm, wiped the blush off his face, and turned

to Rena.

"Oh, what are you doing here?"

Rena had never told Philip about her relationship with Michael.

Chloe had also kept quiet, never mentioning Rena and Michael to Philip.

Facing Philip's question, Rena looked at Michael.

Philip immediately caught on.

With a look of disbelief, he teased, "Oh... I get it. You two are hooking up."

Philip's choice of words made Michael frown.

His handsome face darkened.

He and Rena were dating and living together openly. How could Philip make it sound

so bad?

Hooking up?

"No, Philip, it's not what you think. I'm just Mic's assistant, I..."

Rena was worried that too many people knowing about her relationship with Michael would affect his career, so she hurried to explain.

Her anxious denial annoyed Michael.

Michael couldn't understand why Rena felt the need to hide their relationship. Was he not good enough?
