After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 We Are Always Friends

As I sensed the warmth from Michael’s fingers, my heart skipped a beat. I gazed at him through teary eyes. Although he had already explained things earlier, I couldn’t help feeling aggrieved.

“Were you truly discussing the breach of contract with Emma?”

I stared at him uneasily. I felt truly unsettled because I had been betrayed once. Fear inundated me, and I was terrified that Michael would end up just like Justin.

“Don’t you believe me anymore?”

Surprisingly, Michael didn’t get up in arms in the face of my doubt. Mayhap he knew I was only feeling disquieted from my past.

“It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’m just afraid…”

I lowered my eyes. Truth be told, I particularly abhorred myself at that moment. I was wholly dependent on him at present that I might feel as though the sky had collapsed if he truly left me.

“As I said, I’ll never hurt you. Anna Garcia, you’re the only woman I love.”

Michael hugged me tightly again, his voice deep and beguiling. Inexplicably, I felt much more at ease then.

That night, he slept with me tightly in his arms. Perchance it was because he explained things to me that my reliance on him grew increasingly stronger.

When I woke up the next day, he was no longer beside me. I glanced at the time, only to see that it was already past nine in the morning. Ever since I got pregnant, I became increasingly fond of sleeping and would slumber for hours on end each time I intended to take a nap.

I truly felt that I was going to become a pig soon.

Subsequently, I cast a look at the date and realized that I should be going to the hospital for a checkup that day. Michael even reminded me about it two days ago and said he would accompany me for the prenatal checkup. However, I couldn’t quite bring myself to trouble him since he had been very much busy in the past few days.

He already has his plate full with his company matters. It’ll be more exhausting if he still has to take the time to accompany me now.

After changing, I ate something simple for breakfast before setting out for the hospital.

Upon learning that the hospital where I had been having my prenatal checkups belonged to Ronan, I actually felt a tad perturbed. On second thought, he hardly ever makes an appearance. Besides, how could a freedom lover like him possibly come to the hospital every day?

A wave of guilt inexplicably surged within me. It was more than ten days since we last had any contact. I wonder whether we could even be friends anymore.

I hailed a taxi to the hospital. When I went to the lobby to make payment, I caught sight of someone who looked like Ronan. Nevertheless, there were too many people, and I couldn’t see clearly either.

Preoccupied with getting into line to make payment, I quickly forgot about him. At that exact moment, a voice that made my heart lurch slightly rang out behind me.

“Anna.”

It was Ronan’s voice, lacking his usual insouciant nonchalance.

At that, I glanced back over my shoulder. When I saw his handsome countenance right before my eyes, my heart jolted, and words momentarily eluded me.

“What a coincidence to see you here today!”

That trite remark was all I could say as a greeting to him after a long silence.

“Are you here for a prenatal checkup?”
