After marrying my boss (Anna) -
Chapter 341
Chapter 341
I felt even more upset as I listened to the sad, depressing love songs. Since when did Ronan listen tothose songs too? A man like him should listen to more catchy songs.
Ronan had changed a lot. He started to feel like a stranger to me.
Moreover, that was not a good thing to see.
Ronan's expression turned a little awkward as soon as he sensed the change in atmosphere. Heturned off the music immediately.
I turned around to look at him with a serious expression. “Ronan, I hope that you're still the same as inthe past. I don't like the way you're behaving right now.”
I liked Ronan better back when he was carefree. Although he was more steady and mature now, he didnot look as cheerful as before.
Caught by surprise, Ronan froze momentarily before turning around to look at me. His eyes werebrimming with complicated emotions.
After some time, Ronan asked frankly, “Anna, will you fall in love with me if Michael doesn't exist?”
He slowed down his car as he waited for my response.
In fact, he had asked me the same question back then. However, I managed to avoid answering him. Ihad never thought that he was still curious about the answer.
Ronan was a good man. I enjoyed having him around because he could make me feel younger andhappier. Although he looked like an irresponsible man, he was wise and rational. Otherwise, he wouldnot be able to manage such a grand hospital on his own.
In fact, if Michael was not here, I might really be attracted by Ronan. I liked his young and lively aura,and I was relaxed when I was with him. When he was around, I would forget about the hustles of life.
Ronan and I looked at each other for a moment without saying anything. Finally, I gave him the answerhe wished to hear. “If Michael doesn't exist, I might fall for you.”
I was serious about my response. Perhaps, that's also a way to make him give up on me.
Ronan did not expect me to say that. He froze with his eyes widened, not gaining his senses for sometime.
A moment later, a smile appeared on his handsome-looking face. But then, I also noticed the tears inhis eyes.
Although he managed to stop his tears from falling, his eyes turned red at that moment.
I stared at his eyes for a long time. I could not bring myself to see how sad he was, so I really wishedthat he could fall in love with someone else right then. Perhaps in that way, he would stop feeling soheartbroken.
“Don't worry. I won't cling to you after hearing your answer. I treat you as a friend and nothing more. I'llmake sure not to trouble you by protecting you silently.” Ronan shifted his attention back onto the car
as if nothing had happened.
I got even more upset upon hearing that. Ronan says that he'll protect me silently, but I'll never get toreturn anything to him.
I glanced at his face quietly, feeling overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
Just as we arrived at Michael's mansion, I received a call from Michael. He had called me because hecould not replace me at home.
Michael was very attached to me recently. He could almost tell my whereabouts throughout the day.
I told Michael that I had gone to the hospital for a checkup in the call. After informing him that I wasalmost home, he finally relaxed. Not long after, we arrived at the entrance of the mansion.
As soon as Ronan stopped his car, I saw Michael in front of the house. He was wearing a black suit,which made him look even taller.
He strode over and pulled the front passenger door open for me. Then, he gave me a hand to supportme as I got out of the car.
“Why didn't you inform me of your schedule earlier? You're now pregnant, but you still don't know howto take good care of yourself!” Michael said with a reprimanding tone. Although he was angry, I couldsense the concern in his words.
However, he had been ignoring Ronan throughout the process. Meanwhile, Ronan's expression hadturned grim.
“Why are you so worried? Didn't you see that Ronan had sent me home personally? That's his hospital.He'll treat me like a VIP there, so there's nothing to be worried about.”
Although Michael and Ronan had very different personalities, they had a close relationship. However,the atmosphere between them had changed recently, and I felt that I might be the reason.
Michael glanced at Ronan upon hearing that. A complicated look flashed across his dark eyes. Amoment later, he said calmly, “You're my wife. Although Ronan is my cousin, don't you think it's ratherinappropriate for him to accompany you during your pregnancy checkup?”
I could not discern any emotions from his voice, but I understood the intention in his words.
Of course, Ronan understood what he was trying to say too. I turned to look at Ronan with an unnaturalexpression. How can Michael say something like that in front of Ronan?
“Michael, you've misunderstood. I bumped into Ronan earlier.”
It was evident Michael was targeting Ronan. I felt a little angry upon hearing what he said. After all, Iwas already feeling guilty toward Ronan.
Michael was unhappy because I had defended Ronan. He shot me a glance as a hint of angerappeared in his eyes. However, he did not say anything in return. His grip on my hand tightened.
“Well. It's getting late. We should go back and rest.” Then, he turned around and walked into themansion while grabbing my hand.
Ronan had remained silent all along. However, I could tell he was displeased by looking at his furrowedbrows.
Suddenly, Michael stopped in his track and said, “By the way, you should join us for dinner, Ronan.”
I was surprised by that, as I thought he would ignore Ronan.
“Sure,” Ronan answered after a moment of silence.
I sat beside Michael around the dining table while Ronan sat opposite him. The housekeeper started toprepare a lot of scrumptious and nutritious food since I was pregnant. Michael had been feeding mewell throughout the period.
The atmosphere in the dining room was a little strange. For some reason, I felt a little uncomfortable.
I lowered my head and ate silently. Suddenly, Ronan picked up a piece of meat and put it on my plate.
