After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425 Nicholas Got Beaten

“Michael, how could you be so unreasonable? This is preposterous!”

I shot an angry look at Michael. At that moment, I wished I could slap him in the face. He was the one who got violent in the first place. Yet, he still acted like he did nothing wrong.

“Anna, forget it. Stop arguing with him.”

Just when I was about to lose my temper completely, Nicholas grabbed my hand and comforted me with a meek voice.

I was concerned about his wounds as they looked severe. Hence, I turned away and ignored Michael.

“Let’s skip the dinner tonight. Let me send you to the hospital first. The wounds on your face look severe. We need to get it treated immediately.”

If he goes to the company tomorrow looking like this, I bet the employees will come up with all kinds of gossip.

“Hold on. You haven’t given me an answer to my proposal just now. Anna, I really want to be with you. Can you accept my proposal? I promise I will treat you well, and I won’t do anything to hurt you.”

Nicholas took out the ring again and handed it to me. I was rendered speechless by his gesture.

Seeing him being so persistent even after getting injured, I furrowed my brows. Even though I still felt nothing for him, I could not make myself reject him. Besides, I was not in the mood to consider such an important matter in such a situation. The priority now should be getting him to the hospital to treat those wounds.

I took a deep breath and tried to recollect myself. I intended to persuade him to go to the hospital first. However, before I could open my mouth, Michael’s voice sounded again.

“Anna, don’t you dare accept his proposal! You belong to me!”

His tone sounded arrogant and rude as always. He’s indeed the most self-centered person I have ever met.

I was beyond exasperated upon hearing that. Even now, he still tries to threaten me! Everything happened today because of him. Yet, he shows no remorse at all. I never thought he could be so unreasonable. What makes him think he can control me?

Initially, I wanted to reject Nicholas. However, Michael’s insufferable behavior provoked me, and I changed my mind. Overwhelmed with rage, I accepted Nicholas’ proposal.

“Okay, I’ll accept your proposal. I believe you are a good man, and that you will never do anything to hurt me.”

I looked at Nicholas with a gentle gaze. Even though I was talking to him, my words were actually meant for Michael. Since Michael did not want me to marry another man, I would do the opposite of what he said. I wondered how he would react to it and what kind of crazy antics he would pull next.

“Anna, how dare you!”

Before Nicholas could say anything, Michael opened his mouth again, his tone dripping with unadulterated rage.

“It’s my freedom to be with whoever I want. You can’t control me!” I uttered indifferently.

I did not look at Michael at all when I spoke.

“Okay. Let me put the ring on your finger.”

Nicholas seemed to be surprised by my answer, for he looked to be in shock as he slid the ring onto my middle finger, his hand trembling slightly as he did so.

I froze on the spot as I stared at the ring on my finger. It was only then that I finally realized what I had done in my moment of anger. I could not believe I had actually accepted Nicholas’ proposal.

Am I out of my mind? How could I let my anger blind me?

After putting the ring on my finger, Nicholas planted a gentle kiss on the back of my hand. Feeling his warm lips, my expression stiffened as I immediately pulled back my hand.
