After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 An Unexpected Encounter

For the next couple of days, I didn’t receive any calls from Ronan. I perceived that he probably could not accept the sudden news about my pregnancy.

Consequently, I received another shocking news—Michael was getting married soon.

It took me quite some time to regain my senses after watching that news on the TV.

That was pretty startling because Michael had said that he would investigate whether the culprit of the intrusion in my house was Emma just a few days ago. Knowing that they were about to get married all of a sudden was unexpected indeed. Thus, I wondered if he was only paying lip service when he promised to help me.

Furthermore, it was difficult for me to be prepared mentally for such abrupt news since they were engaged just a few days ago.

I turned off the TV, intending to calm myself down, but to no avail. Even though I acknowledged that their marriage would arrive sooner or later, I still could not accept it as it was too sudden. Perhaps I still hadn’t gotten over Michael yet.

Shortly afterward, I called Natalie as I didn’t want to be alone at home while feeling exasperated.

The more I was alone, the more I would recall every bit of memories of being together with Michael. Realizing that he was about to marry another woman caused my heart to feel indescribably anguished.

Since she noticed that my tone sounded off, Natalie did not say too much and told me to wait for her at her company.

I found a café not too far away from Natalie’s company and chose that place as our meeting point. While waiting for her, I discovered that the news about Michael’s upcoming marriage was everywhere. Sure enough, I felt like I was about to descend into madness.

Not long after, Natalie appeared before me while panting heavily. She gulped down the water on the table after sitting down.

“What’s wrong? Why are you in a bad mood?” Natalie asked while casting a look of concern toward me right after that drink.

Without answering her question straight away, I lowered my head and stirred the fruit juice I had ordered. Due to my pregnancy, I refrained from drinking coffee for the time being.

Following a moment of silence, I finally answered, “Michael is getting married after two weeks.”

Upon hearing my words, Natalie widened her eyes in shock. “What? Didn’t he get engaged only recently?”

Like myself, Natalie thought that news was too unanticipated as well. After all, Michael and Emma had their engagement only a few days ago. Anyone who knew about the unforeseen marriage announcement would most definitely have the same reaction as us.

Despite feeling troubled, I didn’t know what to say at the moment. Above all, I was in no position to say anything nor had the right to speak out. The fact was that Michael’s marriage had nothing to do with me.

“I thought I could move on from Michael, Natalie. However, I was utterly heartbroken when I saw the news about him getting married very soon. I’m not sure what I should do.” I wouldn’t have expressed my genuine feelings for Michael if it were in front of others. The exception was Natalie, as she was the only friend I could trust wholeheartedly.

Looking at my saddened expression, Natalie stared at me with a look of sympathy while frowning. “I think you’re just tormenting yourself, Anna. Since you love Michael and are pregnant with his child, why don’t you try being in a relationship with him?”

As usual, Natalie encouraged me to be more courageous by sorting things out with Michael. I knew she wanted me to be happy, but I had my concerns.
