After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577 The Paternity Test

Andy shifted his attention to me and questioned in disbelief, “Anna, is what you say really true? Or are you just lying to us in order to cover up for him? If he ends up having an illegitimate child, I will definitely break his legs!”

“Grandpa, I’m telling you the truth. I guarantee that Leanne’s child is definitely not Michael’s. Even if you don’t believe him, are you not going to trust me too? If that was really his child, do you think I would still be smiling right now while talking to you?”

Despite being stumped by Andy’s reaction, my heart was still warmed by it, for I could feel that he was just trying to stand up for me.

“In that case, we’ll talk about this again once the results of the paternity test are out.”

Andy was finally convinced by my words. Nonetheless, he still gave Michael the side-eye and snorted at him.

Michael furrowed his brows. Even though he was upset, he didn’t comment any further. As this was the first time the entire family ganged up on him, I couldn’t resist smiling in amusement.

Upon returning to the bedroom, I was in such a good mood that I hummed a tune. After seeing Michael being lectured by his whole family, I felt inexplicably liberated.

Even though Leanne’s child was not related to him at all, I had been feeling down in the dumps recently due to what was going on with his ex. Finally, I felt as if the Shaw family had given him a piece of their mind on my behalf.

“You seem to be enjoying watching me being admonished by my entire family.”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Michael’s words as he came up to me with his brows slightly raised.

Sensing how incendiary his comments were, I wiped the smile off my face and denied, “Am I? I don’t feel like I’m in a particularly good mood.”

Given that he was in a bad mood, I still had to hide my emotions despite how elated I felt.

Pulling me into his embrace, Michael remarked with a displeased expression, “Really? Why do I get the feeling that you seem to be gloating!”

“Erm, I’m happy about finding out that Leanne’s child is not related to you. It has nothing to do with your family lecturing you.”

My body tensed up when I felt Michael’s breath brush across my skin. Considering that he was in a bad mood, there was a risk that he would do something unpredictable.

“That’s more like it!”

Satisfied with my answer, Michael eased the frosty expression on his face.

I let out a long sigh, for Michael’s recent mood was just as bad as mine over Leanne’s matter. In fact, he probably felt even more frustrated than I did.

The next morning, Michael and I drove to where Leanne was staying because we had agreed the night before to undergo a paternity test at the hospital on that day.

Just the night before, Michael called Ronan to give him advance notice about the matter. Upon learning of Michael’s illegitimate child, Ronan widened his eyes in disbelief as his busybody instincts kicked in.

Subsequently, he began peppering Michael with questions about Leanne and the child. However, all he got as an answer was the call-end tone when Michael’s decisively hung up on him.

After Michael and I waited for a short while outside, Leanne emerged together with her son. She shot both of us an indifferent glance before taking her seat at the back.

Expecting Leanne to continue appealing to Michael, I was surprised when she kept mum and didn’t say a word at all.
