After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 282

Michael had been busy with work and our wedding preparations ever since we were together. We barely spent time with each other.

I knew staying at home all day was bad for my baby's development, but I was afraid of bumping into Justin if I went out by myself, so having Michael take me out was the only option.

“Sure, we'll go buy some baby products at the department store this weekend.”

Michael really spoiled me a lot. He agreed to my request without any hesitation.

Michael no longer needed to keep our relationship a secret as everyone had already known about it, and that caused a drastic change in his attitude toward me.

The affectionate look in his eyes filled my heart with happiness, and I wished I could just spend the rest of my life by his side.

He held me tightly in his embrace as we lay in bed that night, and I had a sweet smile on my face the whole time.

I spent the next two days counting down the hours till the weekend, looking forward to spending some quality time with Michael.

After what seemed like forever, the weekend finally arrived. As Michael was the owner of the department store, everyone greeted him respectfully the moment they saw him.

Although he was used to such treatment, I was not and could feel everyone staring at me.

As news of me ruining Michael's wedding had shocked the entire country, it made perfect sense that they all knew who I was.

We soon made our way to the baby's department, and I found myself getting a little overwhelmed by the huge variety of products available. Nevertheless, I still looked forward to my baby being born.

Despite being less than two months pregnant, I had already started wondering if my child would end up resembling me or Michael.

“Hey, Michael, do you think we should buy male or female clothes for our baby?” I asked, feeling conflicted when I saw the clothing options; the gender of my baby was still unknown.

Deep down inside, I was hoping for my baby to be a girl so I could dress her up like a princess every day.

“Since we don't know the baby's gender, we can just buy both. Who knows, we might get a boy and a girl!” Michael said after glancing at the clothes in my hand, leaving me completely speechless.

The doctors already told us I'm pregnant with a healthy baby, so how could we possibly have a boy and a girl?

Not wanting to argue with Michael, I bought clothes for both genders as I didn't know if my baby was a boy or a girl.

We were probably the only couple who would shop for baby products as early as two months into the

pregnancy.

Michael and I ended up buying a lot of things, and they were all the most expensive ones in the department store. But I found it worth the money as it was all for our child.

We were both in a great mood on the drive home when Michael got a text message on his phone. He then slowed down the car to check his phone, only to slam his foot on the brakes when he saw the message.

Had it not been for the seat belt preventing me from hurtling forward, I would have ended up badly injured as a result.

Still a little shaken up by his actions earlier, I looked at Michael, who was staring at his phone gloomily, and asked in confusion, “What's the matter, Michael? What happened?”

Instead of answering my question, Michael simply turned to look at me with rage in his eyes.

I felt even more confused and had a bad feeling in my gut when I saw his sudden change in expression.

“What on earth is going on, Michael? Why do you look so upset?” I asked a second time, feeling a little nervous about his silence.

“Anna, you're still keeping in touch with Justin?”

I panicked when he mentioned Justin and went pale as I recalled what happened the other day.

Michael perceived my response as a sign of guilty conscience, and he cut me off coldly before I could even answer his question, “After all this while... you still haven't let go of Justin, huh?”

His tone was filled with suspicion, and his eyes were burning with rage.

His questioning left me flustered and angry at the same time. My eyes began to tear up as I met his gaze and shouted, “No! I've forgotten all about Justin a long time ago! There is nothing between us at all!”

Unbelievable! After all we've been through just to be together, does Michael still not believe in my love for him? What Justin did hurt me deeply and disgusted me to the core, so why on earth would I even want to miss him at all?

Michael seemed to have anticipated my reply, and he wasn't buying it at all.

“How do you explain this, then?” He tossed his phone onto my lap with a terrifyingly cold look in his eyes.

I picked it up in confusion, only to have my mind go completely blank when I saw the picture of Justin hugging me from behind.

The photo was taken at a very clever angle which made it seem like we were a couple madly in love, and I looked like I wasn't resisting his embrace at all.

Wait... This was taken when Justin came to see me two days ago! Who took it? How did it end up on Michael's phone?

“Michael, I can explain! It's true that Justin came to see me two days ago, but I made myself very clear that I don't love him anymore! I even told him to stay away from me in the future!”

Had I not known that this picture was taken when Justin came to harass me that day, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Michael at all.

“Then why didn't you tell me about it? How many more secrets are you keeping from me, Anna?”

Michael's eyes were still filled with rage as he continued to glare at me. Had this conversation taken place in the past, he would have done more than just question me from his seat like this.

“I was just afraid that you'd get mad, Michael! I'm telling the truth!” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

The sight of his handsome face being twisted with anger made me incredibly anxious. Michael is a very possessive man, so there is no way he'd let his woman have any intimate contact with another guy. I chose to keep it from him because I know that all too well.
