Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 130

“Yuval and I might break up at any moment.” As Yuval was introduced to me by her friend, I should inform her about our current condition.

Natalie was startled and asked anxiously, “Why? You are in a stable relationship with him at the moment, aren’t you? Why did you talk about breakup all of a sudden?”

“I have told him about my family condition. Since I’m planning to get married to him, I mustn’t keep it from him. He will know about it sooner or later too,” I explained to Natalie the reason I told Yuval everything.

If Yuval and I ended up having a breakup because of my family conditions, it would be quite a disappointment. Nevertheless, he had the right to make his choice. It would be inappropriate to drag him down by being secretive to him.

“Anna, why are you so impulsive? You shouldn’t have told him about that now!” Natalie looked at me disapprovingly.

“Well, he will get to know about it sooner or later. I can’t hide it from him forever too. If I didn’t choose to tell him earlier, it’s still kind of deceiving too. It’s unfair for him if he only found out after we got married. After all, he has the right to make a decision.” I smiled bitterly.

Natalie was apparently feeling desperate on behalf of me. Even so, it was undeniable that I had a problematic family. There was no way for me to sweep it under the table.

“I didn’t mean that you have to hide it from him forever. Yet, it’s still not the right timing to tell him about it. You should have held it till your relationship with him stabilizes. When your feelings toward each other are nurtured over time and better developed, I’m sure he will be able to accept it better by then.” Natalie let out a deep sigh and shook her head.

“Anyway, there’s no point to cry over spilled milk. The decision lies in his hands now. It’s up to him whether he still intends to continue seeing me.”

Undeniably, Natalie had a point. Nonetheless, there was no turning back for me at the moment. On top of that, I did not wish to be deceitful in a relationship.

“Anyway, I just hope that he won’t disappoint us by making the decision to break up with you. If he does that because of your family condition, it implies that he’s not worthy for you.” Natalie patted my shoulder gently and comforted me.

We decided to drop the subject and put the frustrating matter out of our minds. After having dinner with Natalie, I went to bed right away.

I neither met Yuval nor received any calls from him in the following two days. It convinced me even more that my instinct was right. Our relationship was really coming to an end. Unexpectedly, I was feeling more relieved despite the disappointment of losing an ideal candidate as my future spouse.

In the evening, my phone rang again when I stepped out of the office building after work. I glanced at the name blinking on my phone screen instinctively. To my dismay, it was a call from my mom.

At the sight of her name, it crossed my mind that she must be calling me again regarding Steven’s debt. Even though I was reluctant to answer the call, I felt that I should grab the chance to talk it out with her so she would not rely solely on me again. I did not feel like helping Steven anymore after sacrificing for him numerous times. In addition, I really could not afford to pay off such a large sum of debt.

“Hello, Mom.” I answered the call and greeted placidly.

“Anna, no matter what, you must come to your brother’s rescue this round. This morning, the debt collectors were here again. They threatened to break Steven’s leg if we fail to settle the debt by tomorrow night. I really don’t know what to do now! We can’t let Steven end up having a broken leg! Anna, can you please try to help your brother again?” On the other end of the line, my Mom wailed as she pleaded with me.

My heart ached as she pleaded with me anxiously. After all, blood was thicker than water. I could not just turn a deaf ear to her, even if she tended to favor Steven, who was the apple of her eye.
