After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 154

Every single word out of my mother’s mouth cut deep. I stared at her in stark despair. I knew that she was still irked at me, but never had I thought that she would think that of me.

I’m also her daughter at the end of the day, so how could she think that I don’t love Steven?

“Mom, if that’s truly what you think of me, then I have nothing else to say. I know you don’t want to see me, so I’m leaving.”

While I was worried about her and wanted her forgiveness, I didn’t want to beg for it. Instead, I wanted genuine concern and forgiveness from her.

After saying that, I whirled around and hastened toward the door. In all honesty, she had truly hurt me greatly.

“How impudent…”

My mother had more to say, but I didn’t halt, and simply left in huge strides.

By the time I reached the hospital lobby, the frustration within me had mushroomed.

Argh! What exactly do I have to do before she’d forgive me? She’s well aware that Steven’s incident had nothing to do with me, so why is she heaping the blame on me? Was it me who made him gamble and owe loan sharks money?

When I reached the hospital entrance, someone kept honking behind me. Frowning in consternation, I moved to the side to make way for the car behind me.

Despite that, the car behind me persisted in honking at me. I glanced back over my shoulder, only to glimpse a familiar Ferrari.

Isn’t that Ronan’s car?

While I was still bewildered, Ronan poked his head out of the car window. “We meet again, Ms. Garcia,” he greeted.

As always, he wore a bright smile on his face, making me feel particularly relaxed.

“Weren’t you here to visit someone? Why are you done so quickly?”

I regarded him in surprise since a visit probably took much longer.

“The same can be said of you, isn’t that right, Ms. Garcia?” Ronan countered placidly without answering my question.

An amused smile blossomed on his face.

Looking into his eyes, I was rendered speechless for a moment. Well, I’m a special case. I had no choice but to leave since my entire family abhorred my presence.

“It’s getting late, so I’ve got to hurry home.”

Not wanting to dwell on those wearisome matters anymore, I made to leave after saying that.

“Where do you stay? I’ll drive you home.”

Once again, Ronan offered to drive me home.

“It’s okay. I’ll just hail a taxi home since it’s a long way from here.”

Ronan and I were strangers who had only met twice, so we weren’t that close that I would accept his offer to drive me home. Besides, my relationship with Michael was of a clandestine nature.

While Michael wasn’t a celebrity or anything of the sort, there was much mention of him in magazines. Thus, it would be bad if he were recognized.

“You’re really firm in your demurral, Ms. Garcia, not giving me the slightest opportunity to give a beautiful lady a lift.”

Feigning an expression of regret, Ronan spread his hands as though he was utterly disappointed.
