After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 511

Chapter 511 Love At First Sight

Alicia’s gaze darted guiltily to me as she chastised Janette. I reassured her, “It’s fine. She’s still a kid. I’ll just let it go.” Indeed, I saw Janette as a kid though she was already in her twenties. It was difficult to see her as anyone other than a spoiled, immature princess.

Still, jealousy swelled in my chest when I thought of Alicia showering all her love on Janette. Nonetheless, I was not going to express my emotions.

Thank God Janette hates me, or I’d have to pretend to be some loving elder sister. I don’t think I could bring myself to perform such a pretentious act.

My attempt to brush off Janette’s impudence seemingly infuriated her. The younger girl strode toward me and shrieked indignantly, ”Who are you calling a kid? I’m twenty-two! Why must you speak so scornfully?”

I frowned deeply in the face of her screeching. Annoyance ballooned in my chest. Just how spoilt is this girl? I can’t believe she can behave so rudely to someone else!

Ronan seemed equally vexed by her prima donna behavior. He stepped forward and said sternly, “We’re in a hospital ward now, Ms. Campbell. Shouldn’t you watch your volume?”

Since we were in his hospital, his words held the most sway in this establishment.

Ronan speaking up to defend me must have been beyond everyone’s expectations. Janette fumed, whirling around in preparation to tell off whoever had dared to reprimand her. When she saw and recognized Ronan, however, she seemed to swallow the words on the tip of her tongue.

Her gaze flickered as she stared at Ronan’s handsome face. Then, she lowered her head peevishly and apologized, “I’m sorry. I lost control of my emotions.”

Janette’s apology sounded unnatural and stilted. I was surprised that she actually volunteered an apology. Did the Sun rise from the West today? Why is this spoiled princess apologizing to someone of her own accord?

I turned around and looked at Janette, noticing that her gaze darted to Ronan’s face from time to time. Suddenly, everything made sense. Is this what people call love at first sight?

A faint smirk curved Ronan’s lips as he uttered flatly, “The patient needs a quiet environment for optimal recovery. You should get a better grip on your emotions.”

While I appreciated Ronan’s gesture of speaking up for me, I dared not express my gratitude in front of Michael. Who knew what little thing would set off his jealousy at that time.

“I understand. I’ll watch my emotions from now on and refrain from speaking loudly.”

Janette continued to keep her head lowered, the perfect picture of an elegant lady in front of Ronan.

A woman’s intuition was rarely off-target, and I instinctively knew that Janette had a crush on Ronan. Unfortunately for my half-sister, Ronan stared at her as though she were a stranger.

Though Ronan seemed like an easy-going person, he did not fall in love easily. I wondered whether Janette, our resident spoiled princess, would be able to win him over.

Meanwhile, Ronan averted his gaze from Janette’s face and stared at me. With a faint smile on his face, he said, “I’m going off to attend to some other matters, Anna. I’ll drop by your house for dinner soon!”

“Sure. I’ll let my housekeeper know to prepare your favorite dishes when you come by.”

Ronan had been a great help to me over the years, and I was naturally thankful for our friendship.

“Well, I’m taking my leave. Call me if you need anything.”

He gestured a calling motion with his hand before turning and heading for the ward door.

“Bye, Michael!”
