After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 360

Natalie grabbed my hand as she tried to come up with an explanation desperately. She didn't want to see me in this state. “Don't misunderstand. It's probably not as it seems. Michael loves you so much, so I'm sure he will never have an affair.”

She must have regretted taking me out to go shopping. If we didn't come out today, we wouldn't have witnessed such a thing.

“Natalie, stop comforting me. If that is Yuval right there, wouldn't your imagination run wild too?”

I knew that Natalie was trying to comfort me, but I didn't need comforting now. There was no use in consoling me if the truth was really what I was speculating.

After my retort, Natalie's face froze as she looked at me worriedly.

“How about this? We go up to Michael and demand to know who the woman is. What if this is just a misunderstanding?”

After saying that, Natalie grabbed my arm and pulled me toward Michael.

After following her for a few steps, I began to feel afraid as we got closer to Michael. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I pulled on Natalie and refused to take another step further.

Turning toward me, Natalie gave me a puzzled look, and her tone was anxious. “What's wrong? Why are you stopping?”

At that moment, the woman beside Michael took his arm as they walked toward the entrance of the shopping mall. If we didn't catch up now, we would lose them.

“Nat, I don't want to go.”

I endured the bitterness in my heart as I began to choke my words.

I don't want to meet with Michael now, and I don't want to find out about Michael's relationship with the woman. I was afraid it was going to be like I thought. If It was true, I didn't think my heart could take it.

I never thought this would happen between Michael and me. I'd always thought we would live together happily, but I never expected to witness what I saw today.

Natalie stopped and looked at me worriedly. “Anna, are you sure you are content with not finding out the truth? It's probably not what you think it is. Michael loves you, and he won't do this to you.”

“Let's just go home.”

I lowered my gaze, and I couldn't hear what Natalie was saying now. It was probably because I had already determined the relationship between Michael and the woman.

Looking at my eyes, Natalie hesitated and was about to speak, but she ultimately didn't say anything.

After returning to Natalie's home, I went into my room without saying another word.

My mind was filled with the imagery of Michael and the other beautiful woman. Michael was laughing,

and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Was his love for me fake? Why would another woman appear by his side in just two days? What is happening?

Taking out my phone, I scrolled down to Michael's number. I wanted to call him, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I was afraid to hear Michael's confession.

Throwing my phone onto the bed in frustration, I buried my head into my blanket and refused to think about the matter.

After making it to nighttime, Natalie said she wanted to buy some food from the store nearby. I was in a terrible mood, so I didn't follow her. After she left for a while, the doorbell rang.

Did Natalie forget her keys? I shook my head helplessly and answered the door.

After opening the door, it was Michael instead of Natalie who appeared before me.

My heart skipped a beat as I looked at Michael's handsome face. As I recalled the image at the shopping mall today, my expression darkened.

“What are you doing here?”

I looked at Michael coldly and had no intention of letting him in. He already had another woman by his side. Why is he here? Is it because of the child I'm carrying?

“Can you stop being so hostile when you are talking to me?”

Michael frowned in frustration when he heard my tone, but he didn't lose his temper.

“Then, what tone should I use when I'm talking to you?”

I thought I was already being quite polite to him as I tried my best to control myself. If I didn't control myself, I would have already asked him to leave immediately because I didn't want to see him right now.

Michael put both of his hands on my shoulder, smiled, and said softly, “Are you still mad at me? I admit it was my fault for what happened that day. I just didn't want you to have any conflicts with Mom. Now that she knew you're carrying a boy, didn't her attitude toward you change?”

I had actually gotten less angry about the matter before. If I didn't run into Michael and the other woman today at the shopping mall, I would have already forgiven him. However, it was impossible for me to forgive him now.

I could forgive him for anything, but I would never forgive him for his betrayal. The things that I saw today had left me heartbroken. I had never found myself to be this disgusted by Michael.

I took his hands off my shoulder, ignored his tender words, and responded coldly, “Michael, please leave. I don't want to see you right now.”

“I've already apologized to you, so why are you still mad at me? What do you want me to do so you'll come home with me?”

When he heard I was asking him to leave again, Michael's smile disappeared. He looked at me angrily,

and his tone was thinly veiled with anger.

“Do I have to follow you home? Michael, our relationship is different from what it used to be. I used to believe we were going to live happily ever after. However, after these few months, things just got out of hand. Is it because I trusted you too much? Or is it because I overestimated my importance to you?”

Michael brought me to register our marriage and organize our wedding. Everything he had done was to assure me that he would only ever love me. So, how could he be this close with another woman today?

“What nonsense are you talking about? It was just a small issue. Why are you making it into such a big deal?”

Michael frowned as he clearly didn't like what I just said.

“Small issue? Do you think betraying me is just a small issue? Michael, what kind of matter do you consider to be a serious issue then?”

The mention of a small issue had broken my heart as tears rolled down my cheeks without warning.

Michael froze when he saw me become emotional. He reached up to wipe my tears away without thinking, but I pushed him away because I didn't want him to touch me.
