After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 A Jealous Michael

“Anna, I didn’t realize before, that you’re so considerate of Nicholas. Now, you are speaking up for him.” Michael continued pursuing the matter, keeping up with my footsteps and speaking in a jealous tone.

I halted my steps and frowned at him with displeasure. “Michael, today is our child’s birthday. Are you trying to pick a fight with me?” From the moment Nicholas showed up, Michael started acting weird spewing words filled with jealousy.

Although I could feel that he cared about me, to be honest, I found his persistence rather annoying. The reason was that we had so many guests and I had much to attend to.

“You are the one trying to pick a fight with me over Nicholas. Just now when you saw him arriving, you were so enthusiastic.”

Michael towered over me as he glared into my eyes. There was annoyance burning in his eyes and I could see that he was really angry.

He was apparently a very possessive man. I sighed, not knowing how to explain it to him. I was only being polite to Nicholas, so there was no reason for him to get so upset. There was nothing going on between us.

“I’ve already explained to you that I was just being polite. I had not expected him to come. Will you please stop harping on that? If you go on being so unreasonable, I’m really going to get angry.”

With displeasure, I gazed at Michael as I noticed many of the guests looking in our direction. Even Nicholas was giving us a strange look.

I believe Nicholas had already guessed that his showing up today would annoy Michael and he had come intentionally to upset him.

I wanted to give Michael a severe ticking-off but not in public. It would not be nice if rumors went around that we were having marital problems. Furthermore, Nicholas had his own agenda for turning up today, so it was necessary for Michael and I to appear lovey-dovey.

“Just watch out! I’ll take care of you tonight!”

Michael was smarter than me. He would have known whatever I know. He glared at me and then secretly pinched me on the waist.

By all appearances, our mannerisms were those of a very loving couple. I saw clearly, a look of disappointment flash across Nicholas’ face while Michael threw at him a triumphant glance.

I knew that Michael was deliberately showing off in front of Nicholas and I was dumbfounded. He always presented himself as a mature and stable man, so that childish behavior was quite a surprise to me. Nevertheless, I liked it when he acted so jealous.

The birthday party was very grand, but it was also very boring. Most of the guests were partners in the business world who wanted to get along well with the Shaw family. Although I did not want my child’s birthday party to be a business venture, among the wealthy, an event like that was considered normal, so I had no complaints.

The banquet lasted for a long time, and when it was over, my face was numb from all the smiles. All the time, I had to deal with all kinds of people as well.

As most of the guests had left, I stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, preparing to leave. Just then, a Mercedes-Benz stopped right in front of me and the windscreen lowered slowly, revealing Nicholas’ handsome face.
