After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568 Foul Mood

“Nicholas, if we really are friends as you say we are, shouldn’t you tell me if there really is something going on? Are you really going to ignore the elephant in the room?”

I could tell from his expression that he was hiding something from me. It really upset me. Leanne had already spoiled my mood, and I really did not want anything else to further distress me.

“Trust me, you don’t want to know the truth. Don’t worry about it. If Michael truly loves you as you say he does, then the two of you will definitely get through this difficult period.”

Nicholas still refused to tell me what was going on despite my asking. My mood soured even more. I dipped my head and kept quiet. Nicholas, too, did not say anything further. We finished our meal in silence. After that, he offered to take me home, but I refused.

Although our relationship was strictly professional and there was nothing else happening between us, I was still worried that Michael would not be happy with another man sending me home. Michael was a very possessive man, and he would definitely be upset to see me with another man.

“Ever since you got back together with him, you’ve really changed. You’re completely unlike the person that you used to be,” Nicholas said, looking straight into my eyes with an inscrutable expression.

“Everyone changes for the one they truly love,” I replied lightly, still upset that he had refused to spill the beans earlier.

After that, I climbed into my car and left.

I drove home slowly. In the silence of the car, I turned Nicholas’ words over and over again in my head.

I just can’t figure out what Leanne will do next! Nicholas said she had come prepared this time. What exactly is her plan?

Michael was waiting for me in our living room when I finally reached home. He frowned in displeasure at my getting home so late.

“Who did you have dinner with tonight? Why did you get home so late?” he asked lightly, but there was a hint of disapproval in his voice.

Nicholas had already put me in a foul mood, but hearing the tone of Michael’s voice, my mood became worse.

I looked at him evenly and turned around to head upstairs. I refused to answer his silly questions.

He had not expected me to react that way. He watched me walk away from him with his mouth open in shock. Then, he strode angrily after me.

He entered our bedroom and shut the door behind him. He glared at me in displeasure.

“I asked you a question earlier. Didn’t you hear me?”

His tone was sharp, and his eyes were flickering with an angry flame.

“Do I have to report everything I do to you? Do I question you in this manner when you go out for meals with your colleagues?” I retorted in a cold voice, looking straight into his eyes.

Our relationship had become quite tense of late due to Leanne’s reappearance. I did not have the energy to entertain his silliness that night and neither did I want to argue with him.

“I… You are a woman and I am a man! It’s not the same! It’s normal for me to socialize! Don’t forget that you are a woman and that is improper!” he shouted in a domineering voice after getting over the initial shock.

I can’t believe he’s being so sexist! I felt my temper flare.
