After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 201

As Yuval was still considered my ex-boyfriend, I could not believe that he was pursuing Natalie, my best friend. The news shocked me.

Though, I must say that he was quite a decent person. Hence, I figured it might be a good thing if he ended up with her since we had already broken up anyway.

“Natalie hasn’t agreed to be with me. Anyway, um, I still have something on. Bye.”

Perhaps it was somewhat awkward for us to be discussing such an issue, for he then hurried into the car and left.

My ex-boyfriend fell in love with my best friend. It indeed sounds a bit…

Nevertheless, Yuval and I had never been in love. We were only together because we felt that we were suitable for each other. Hence, if he genuinely liked Natalie, perhaps it was a good thing.

As I watched his car leave, I came back to my senses and headed upstairs.

Then, soon after I rang the doorbell, the door opened. As I did not call before I went over, Natalie was surprised once she saw that it was me. Afterward, she quickly pulled me inside.

“Anna, you’re finally willing to come to see me. I thought you’d forgotten about me ever since you moved to Michael’s.”

She then pulled me to the living room, where I sat on the couch. While standing in front of me, she stared at me in dissatisfaction.

“How could I forget you? You’re my best friend. I’ll forget anyone else but you,” I replied.

In reality, both of us had not seen each other in a long time. As I did rarely contact her during that period, I still felt somewhat guilty inside.

“Oh, is that so? For some reason, I find that you really place love over friendship, Anna. Your mind’s fully occupied with Michael nowadays that there’s no place for me anymore.”

It appeared that my fawning did not let her anger dissipate, for she was still looking at me unhappily.

“Ms. Xavier, it’s not like what you think. I’ve been very busy with my family affairs recently and was too frustrated. I hardly had any time left to contact you.”

I then took her hand in mine and began earnestly explaining my situation. What I said was entirely true—for the past two days, I had been so swamped with my family matters that I could barely breathe.

“Alright, alright. I believe you, so don’t keep staring at me like that.”

Seeing that I was pouting and looking at her as though I had been wronged, she acted as if I made her skin crawl. Eventually, she could not take it anymore and sit down beside me.

“I knew you wouldn’t be angry at me. You’re my best friend.”

In reality, I knew that Natalie would not be angry with me from the very beginning. Therefore, I was not worried about it.

Just then, she turned to look at me and changed the topic. “By the way, how’s everything back home? Did your mom make things difficult for you?”

As soon as she mentioned my family issues, I felt a headache coming on. I sighed helplessly as I started feeling moody.

“Steven’s out of the hospital, but he still needs to recuperate for a long time. Thus, I’ve arranged a place for the three of them today.”

Since Natalie was my best friend, I would not keep anything from her.

“Your entire family’s now in the city. That’ll take a huge chunk out of your pocket. Will you be able to afford it?”

Following that, she, too, sighed helplessly with her gaze filled with distress.

“So what if I’m not able to? Steven’s legs aren’t completely healed yet, so he has to take time to recuperate. After all, it’ll affect the rest of his life,” I replied.
