After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527 Shameless

I could tell that Alicia’s attention was all on Janette now. Even if I were to stay for a meal, she wouldn’t have the time to care for me. Besides, I was sure that Janette would not want me here either.

“Anna…” She had more to say, but I didn’t give her a chance to speak, and simply turned to leave.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t upset as I drove home in my car. It was a crucial time for Janette, and I knew that I should be more understanding, but I couldn’t help but feel upset.

Just then, my phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Michael, I quickly connected my phone to the Bluetooth speaker in my car and answered the call.

“Hello?” I answered dully, sounding extremely down.

“Why aren’t you home yet? It’s already so late. Where are you?”

Upon hearing his velvety voice, my heart jolted, and I couldn’t help but feel more aggrieved.

“I’m already on my way home. I was at her house today.”

Michael knew very well who I was talking about. Since I still didn’t know how I should address her, I had been using “her” whenever we talked about Alicia.

He kept silent for a moment before his voice sounded again. “You sound upset. Did something happen?”

The changes in my mood could never escape his ears, and I was starting to think that he could read minds.

“No. I’m just not really in the mood. I’m about to reach home soon. So don’t worry about me.”

Seeing that Michael was calling me when it was so late, I knew that he was worried about me, so I quickly updated him about my whereabouts to ease his worries.

“Okay. Drive safe,” he reminded before hanging up.

After the call, I didn’t want to overthink things any further. I decided to just go with the flow with whatever was happening with my mother. I lived my life without her love for so many years, so it wouldn’t matter if I still didn’t receive it in the future. Besides, I already have a family of my own now. All I needed to do was take good care of my own child.

When I finally arrived at the Shaw residence, I saw Michael reading a book in the living room, and I knew that he had been waiting for me.

Taking a seat by his side, I nestled myself into his arms and closed my eyes.

I had been feeling exhausted all this while, and all I wanted to do was close my eyes like this and not think about anything else.

“Let’s go to bed if you’re tired.”

He put the book down and wrapped his arms around me. His voice made me feel at ease. No matter how bad of a mood I was in, it would all vanish the moment I heard his gentle voice.

“Okay. Let’s go to bed. I’m tired.”

I did not refuse, but I continued to stay in his embrace, refusing to move.

“Then why don’t you get up?”

Michael couldn’t stop himself from asking when he saw that I wasn’t moving.
