After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 236

When Ronan noticed me ignoring him, an annoyed look crept onto his face, and he yelled, “Anna, what kind of response is that? I’m talking to you!”

I frowned as my mood soured. I was not in the mood to fight with him. All I wanted was some peace.

“What happened to you? Why did you ignore me? Have I offended you in any way?”

Ronan asked as he stuck he head out of the window. He could sense that I was not being myself.

“You didn’t make me mad. I just want to have some time alone. Don’t follow me,” I uttered without sparing him a glance.

Then, I quickened my pace.

In the past, Ronan would insist on following me, but to my surprise, he listened to me. It made me relax.

Soon, I came to a river and sat there alone. It was spacious and quiet, which was exactly what I wanted. I did not want to say nor do anything.

After I heard about Michael’s engagement, it felt like someone had stuck their hand into my chest and dug my heart out. I felt hollow on the inside.

I sat there for what seemed like ages. The sky gradually darkened, but I still did not want to go home. That was a place that harbored the memories of Michael and me, so it would only make me suffer.

Once he was engaged with Emma, I would not even have the right to even fantasize about being with him anymore. Therefore, I had to learn to control myself.

At some point, Ronan appeared and came to sit by my side.

“What happened? You seem upset,” he asked.

“He’s getting engaged this week,” I murmured as I stared at the surface of the river. It felt as if it was a reply to Ronan and a reminder to myself too.

Ronan turned around to look at me. He kept quiet, but I could see the sadness he felt for me in his eyes.

“Do you know that I was really upset when I heard that he was getting engaged earlier today?”

My eyes remained fixed to the front. It did not matter to me if Ronan would reply. To me, he was just a listener. Perhaps I would feel better after telling him the things that were bothering me.

He sighed. Then, he reached out to pull me into his arms.

“Remember that you have me no matter what. I won’t ever hurt you or make you sad.”

The determined way he said that was as if he was promising me something.

I did not know whether he was comforting me or he meant what he said but those words made my heart shudder. I was really touched.

“If only he were you…”

I thought I was strong. Not a single tear had escaped from my eyes when I heard about Michael’s engagement. Yet, my tears started falling upon hearing Ronan’s words.

“If only he were you…”
