After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436 The Call From Lincoln

I tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep. When I woke up the following morning, Michael’s side of the bed was already empty, just like how it was the day before. For some reason, that made me sad.

I recalled what he told me last night and felt conflicting emotions warring within me.

Then, I checked my phone, hoping that he had sent a message. I could not help but feel disappointed when I saw that there was none.

In the next few days, Michael still did not appear before me. It made me feel both relieved and a little sad.

Ever since that night, he seemed to have disappeared from my life. It felt like we had returned to being strangers again.

Previously, we agreed to meet in Birchwood every Friday so that I could see Amaury. On Friday evening, I came to Birchwood again. However, Michael did not show up. It was the nanny who brought Amaury there.

I searched the house, hoping to find him somewhere. Once I confirmed that he was nowhere to be seen, I felt even more dejected.

“Ms. Garcia, Mr. Shaw is unable to come here today. So, he asked me to bring Amaury here,” the nanny explained as she brought Amaury to me. She seemed to have guessed what I was thinking.

Her words confirmed that Michael would not be coming here. Although I felt kind of disappointed, I did not show it on my face.

I accepted Amaury from the nanny. Perhaps due to our previous meeting, Amaury seemed quite comfortable with me. He even smiled at me.

I could not help feeling warm as I looked at my son’s smile. It made all my troubles disappear instantly.

“Amaury, say Mommy,” I teased Amaury and touched his chubby cheeks with my finger. He’s adorable.

“Mommy…” Amaury gurgled.

I was only playing with him and didn’t expect him to really call me Mommy.

I remembered how content I felt when he called me Mommy the last time. Now, hearing him calling me Mommy again made me happy.

I brought Amaury to the living room and played with him. Soon, all my sadness disappeared.

That night, I hugged Amaury to sleep. It had been more than a year since I had him sleeping by my side. It felt like bliss.

The following day was Saturday, so I did not have to go to work. As such, I sent Michael a message saying that I would like to spend more time with Amaury. He replied with a word: Sure.

He didn’t bother to say anything else, and I was a bit disheartened by that. Previously, he would shower me with attention every day. Now, he only replied with a single word whenever I messaged him. I couldn’t help feeling sad about the disparity.
