After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584 A Second Child On The Way

“You two are really efficient. Didn’t expect that you’ll be conceiving again so soon,” chuckled Ronan bitterly as he met my gaze. Having not foreseen this situation when I called Ronan, I began to regret letting him in on this when I saw his reaction to it.

If he had not quite moved on, my asking for his help in this matter would be tantamount to the rubbing of salt into his wound. “Uh, if it isn’t convenient, I can go wait in queue myself,” avoidant of making eye contact with him, I hastily uttered these words before I tried to step around him.

Ronan furrowed when he saw me that way and, in an instant, placed himself in my way. “Come along now. I’ve already made arrangements prior, so you need only head straight in.”

The subdued smile he wore intimated that he was suppressing his own emotions. I exhaled haplessly as I felt ill at ease inside. Sincerely, I did not want to hurt him, but no matter what I said or how many times I turned him down, his feelings for me had never wavered. That had me deeply moved, but at the same time, profoundly troubled because my love was reserved for Michael and Michael alone, and could never have reciprocated his affections for me.

Without speaking further, I made my way directly to the examination room. Upon the release of the test results, I felt that I had wind beneath my wings when the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant.

I wonder how Michael might react in response to this news. Ronan stayed with me throughout the process and naturally heard everything the doctor said. The stoic look on his face revealed nothing about what he felt.

In his presence, I refrained from expressing my own joy too overtly, and merely slipped the medical report into my bag and strode out ahead of him.

“Thanks for your help today. I’ll be making a move first.”

Right now, I could not wait to break the news of my pregnancy to Michael.

“All right then. Take care.” Ronan smiled softly at me and said no more.

“Yeah,” I replied staidly before turning to depart.

I could no longer bottle up that grin on my face after I exited his line of sight, and following that, I drove straight to Michael’s office until I arrived downstairs.

As many people there already knew about the relationship between Michael and myself, I was able to reach the CEO’s office unhindered.

Michael’s sensual and magnetic male voice emanated from the other side of the door when I knocked.

“Come in.”

Pushing my way through, I saw Michael earnestly reviewing a document he had on hand. He did not look up when I entered.

“What is it?”

His head remained bowed and paid me no heed.

When I saw that he was not paying any attention to me, I cleared my throat before continuing. “Ahem… I came in today to announce something major.”

Perhaps that had the desired effect. In the next second, he lifted his head in surprise. His eyes lit up momentarily at first when he saw that it was me, and later on, he broke into a furrow.

“What brought you here? Aren’t you feeling unwell and resting at home?” Michael stood up and strode toward me with a look of concern about him.

“I’m here to tell you something important.” I lifted my head to meet his eyes.

“What matter could be so important that it couldn’t wait? That you had to make the trip down in spite of feeling sick?”

Michael was less interested in whatever I had to say and more concerned about the state of my health. I could tell that he was really worried.

“This is important enough that I have to break it to you in person. I assure you that you’d also be delighted when you hear it,” I looked into his eyes and said this excitedly.
