After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 515

Chapter 515 Getting More Information

It was the first time I had seen Ronan looking so embarrassed. If it were anyone else, he probably wouldn’t give them the time of day. But because she’s my mother, he has to put up with it for my sake if not hers.

I lowered my head and listened to their conversation expressionlessly. It was natural for my mother to care about Janette, but it still bothered me a little.

“You don’t have a girlfriend yet?”

Ronan’s answer pleased Alicia even more, and she gazed at him with a smile in her eyes.

“Yeah. I don’t,” Ronan replied with a rather stiff smile. Clearly, he had also realized something.

“Janette seems to have a favorable impression of you after seeing you earlier. It’s a pity she’s not at the hospital now. Otherwise, you’d be able to meet her, and the two of you could get to know more about each other.”

A look of concern flashed across Alicia’s eyes when she brought up Janette, worried about how the latter had disappeared since noon.

“Oh… You’re very humorous, Mrs. Campbell. I don’t know your daughter, so why would she have mentioned me?”

When I mentioned Janette to him earlier, I sensed that he didn’t harbor any interest in her. Hence, he’s probably saying that as a subtle hint about his disinterest.

“You met her earlier this afternoon, but you probably don’t remember because there were too many people today. She’s Anna’s younger sister. Since you’re so close to Anna, I’m sure you and Janette will be able to become good friends.”

After mingling with the wealthy and upper class for years, there’s no way she wouldn’t get Ronan’s hint. It’s just that she doesn’t give a hoot. In fact, she’s confident Ronan and Janette will get on like a house on fire!

“When it comes to matters of the heart, I believe that one should just let nature take its course. As an elder, you only have to give your blessings without interfering,” I said.

Ronan was a good friend. Since he had no interest in Janette, I did not want anyone to try and force him into anything. And from what I knew about his character, it did not matter how much Alicia sang Janette’s praises. If he had no feelings for Janette, nothing anyone said would change his mind. In fact, it would only make things much more uncomfortable for everyone.

Alicia must not have expected me to foil her attempt. She looked at me, a little surprised, and her expression stiffened for a split second. However, she quickly agreed with me by saying, “That’s true. It was only a casual remark on my part.”

“You’re right. In terms of relationship matters, one can only go with the flow. There are too many imperfect relationships in the world. Take me, for example. I’ve had feelings for someone for over two years, but we weren’t fated to be together. Hence, I have no plans of finding myself a girlfriend in the near future. It’s enough for me if I can watch her lead a happy life,” Ronan piped up.

His gaze fell on me as he spoke, and his earnest tone caused me to panic a little.
