After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 344

The kiss lasted for an extended amount of time. Michael opened his eyes and released me when a round of applause thundered from the audience.

We were the male and female lead of our wedding, and everyone was staring at us. Being under the spotlight then made me feel slightly awkward.

When the ceremony ended, we went to toast with our guests. Most of them were Michael's business partners. The Shaw family had hardly any relatives. However, they were all from the upper-class society.

Among the relatives were Ronan and Elisabeth. Ronan's gaze did not leave my face when I was at their table. I expected that he wouldn't feel comfortable when he saw Michael and I enter the wedding hall, but nothing would change now. Moreover, I knew Michael was my fate.

“Aunt Elisabeth, may I offer you a toast?” Michael walked to Elisabeth's side while his gaze glanced toward Ronan seemingly unintentionally. Then, he raised his wine glass, and they clinked their glasses.

“I'm so delighted to be able to attend your wedding finally. I wish you a happy marriage and forever blissfulness.” Elisabeth did not notice the unusual vibe among us. She was full of smiles and congratulated us genuinely.

“Thank you, Aunt Elisabeth.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

After receiving Elisabeth's blessing, Michael grinned and downed his wine while I could only drink juice as a replacement since I was pregnant.

“Ronan, it's Michael's wedding today. Why are you still sitting down and not giving him your blessings?” Elisabeth frowned and reminded Ronan when she saw that he remained seated.

Hearing what Elisabeth said, I looked at Ronan and saw the loneliness in his eyes as he stared right into mine. He did not utter a single word which made the situation awkward.

“Ronan, what's going on. I'm talking to you.” Feeling slightly unhappy with his attitude, Elisabeth nudged and prompted him again.

“Aunt Elisabeth, Ronan doesn't seem to be in a good mood today. Don't worry about the blessings. He is probably feeling upset seeing me getting married already. Once you get home today, you'd need to make some arrangements for him since he's not young anymore.” Michael spoke to save Elisabeth from the embarrassment.

Although what he said sounded as if he was trying to ease the tension, I felt that his purpose was to get Elisabeth to arrange blind dates for Ronan.

Is he still angry about my relationship with Ronan?

I glanced at Michael and noticed that he was arching his eyebrows as he looked at me. His intention was apparent. He did not want me to take an extra look at Ronan.

Even though the atmosphere got slightly awkward, I couldn't help but feel amused. It seems that Michael would also feel jealous.

“You're right. It seems like I need to think about this matter.”

Elisabeth had not noticed anything abnormal. When she heard Michael's suggestion, it was as if she got enlightened and responded immediately.

Hearing Elisabeth's response, Michael lifted his lips into a smirk then glanced at Ronan. I knew Michael's purpose was to divert Ronan's attention from putting his heart and mind on me.

“I don't need any blind dating. The girl I like is now married to another guy. So, you don't need to carry out this useless stuff.”

Michael knew Ronan liked me, but he purposedly mentioned blind dating to Elisabeth. Moreover, Michael was a petty man who was very possessive, and Ronan had known him since they were young. So, he would be clearer than me about Michael's purpose in doing so.

Ronan stood up abruptly. The things he said stunned everyone attending the wedding. I felt worried as Ronan was looking at me. Based on his brash personality, would he announce that I'm the person he likes at Michael and my wedding?

As I looked back at him nervously, I wanted to remind him badly that it was Michael and my wedding at that instant. I knew that my mindset was selfish, but I would still choose to be with Michael even if it meant hurting Ronan.

Moreover, Michael's face had darkened, and I could tell that anger was blazing in his eyes. If Ronan divulged that he liked me at my wedding with Michael, he would definitely lose his temper.

“Ronan, what nonsense is this? Why haven't I heard about this from you? There's a girl that you like?”

Elisabeth sensed that something wasn't right with the situation. Hence, her face fell.

Ronan ignored Elisabeth and continued to fix his gaze on me. Feeling guilty, I looked down. My heart was pounding against my chest rapidly as I did not know how to face him.

His mother was a smart woman. When she saw Ronan's gaze not leaving mine, she came to a sudden realization. After looking at me with a complicated look, she turned to Ronan.

“Ronan, this is Michael's wedding. You can't mess around here when you're drunk,” Elisabeth warned Ronan. By then, her gaze was flashing with anger.

Ronan turned to look at Elisabeth, then strode off after giving me another glance.

“Ronan...” Elisabeth shouted his name, but he stormed off without stopping or turning his head back.

I knew he would be in a foul mood. However, I felt relaxed as soon as he left.

“Michael, don't be angry. Ronan drank a little too much. I apologize on his behalf.”

She masked her emotion well and filled her face with smiles once again. However, this time, it was more of a forceful smile.

“Don't worry. I'm well aware of Ronan's temper. So, I won't be mad at him. Aunt Elisabeth, enjoy your meal slowly. I'll go and toast with other guests.” Michael simply smiled as he knew very well the reason Ronan left.

After that, I accompanied Michael to toast with the other guests for a long time before having the

opportunity to rest. Hence, I headed straight to the dressing room after that, feeling exhausted.

My legs were all weak and shaky as I was pregnant, yet I needed to toast with the large number of guests who attended the wedding.

After the make-up artist touched up my make-up, she left for a while because I had to change my dress. I was left all alone in the dressing room.
