Love from My Dominant Boss Chapter 340
After a moment of silence, I decided to tell him the truth.
When I mentioned a checkup, Ronan immediately understood what I was referring to. The light in his eyes dimmed as soon as the words came out of my mouth. After a long pause, he finally smiled at me again.
“I was just about to go to the hospital. Hop on. I’ll drive you there.” As Ronan was speaking, he had already gotten down from his car. He went over to the passenger seat and opened the door for me.
“It’s okay. I can get there by myself.”
It was clear to me by the look of sadness in Ronan’s eyes that he hadn’t totally moved on. That was one of the reasons I avoided getting too close to him.
The door had been opened for me by Ronan when I turned down his offer. He frowned and glanced at me as if he was a little let down.
“What’s the problem? I’m only offering you a ride since I’m also on my way. Do you have to avoid me like that? Are you really so afraid of me?” Ronan spoke softly. Even so, it was loud enough to sense his disappointment.
I sighed in exasperation. I didn’t know what to say. I wasn’t afraid of Ronan. I just didn’t want him to feel upset because of me. Every time I looked at his sad eyes, I felt terrible.
“I didn’t mean that. I was just…” Ronan kept staring into my eyes as I opened my mouth and tried to think of something to say.
“All right, I know what you’re trying to say. You don’t need to say it. I was just kidding.” Ronan unknowingly let out a cynical smile. Seeing him in this manner brought up memories from the past.
I was stunned. Ronan remained patiently at the door, waiting for me to get into the car. Eventually, I made my way over to him.
While I was in Ronan’s car, I felt uncomfortable being in an enclosed space with him.
Ever since I got together with Michael, my feelings for Ronan have changed. We didn’t argue at all during this time. It was as if we were trying to keep the atmosphere down on purpose. However, by doing it purposefully, the awkwardness was made worse.
“Why did you drive a different car today? What happened to your flashy Ferrari?”
For the whole trip, neither of us spoke a word. As a result of my desire to avoid further awkwardness, I spoke up.
“I just thought switching my car would switch my mood.” Ronan spoke faintly. Although he didn’t say anything specific, it felt to me that he was talking about our situation.
“Don’t you think this silver sports car suits me better since it looks more depressing?” Ronan looked at me after I stopped talking. I could tell from his eyes that he was smiling, but he didn’t truly mean it.
To the people around him, Ronan appeared to be depressed. The once-vibrant young man had long vanished. When comparing him today to before, he had undergone a major transformation. He matured a lot more, but his smile lost a lot of its radiance.
And it was because of me that he turned into someone like that.
“Do you still mind me being together with Michael?”
Before I turned to face Ronan, I had been silent for quite some time. I couldn’t help myself but ask him this question over and over again. All I ever wanted for Ronan was to return to the way he used to be.
