After marrying my boss (Anna)
Chapter 467

Chapter 467

He spoke in such a matter-of-fact and domineering manner that I stared at him speechlessly. There'sno cure to his possessiveness. If I do as he says, I will have no more male friends!

“Michael, has anyone ever told you how domineering you are?” I snapped unhappily as I stared into hiseyes.

“You're not the first to say that. Many people have told me that. I've always been like this!” repliedMichael indifferently as he met my gaze and raised his eyebrow.

I was obviously trying to take a dig at him, but he was completely unbothered.

No matter what I said, he still looked so arrogant. I pouted unhappily before closing my eyes andignoring him.

After that passionate night with him, I was already utterly exhausted, and I wished for nothing morethan to have a good rest.

Luckily, Michael stopped pestering me. He moved away from me, pulled me into his arms, and shut hiseyes too.

When I woke up the next morning, Michael informed me that he needed to return to the Shawresidence to deal with something. Although I hated Lincoln, he was still Michael's father. Hence,despite my unease, I did not say anything.

I remained at Birchwood the entire day, feeling extremely frustrated. Till now, I had no clue how to faceLincoln and what my attitude toward him should be. It was also necessary for me to talk to him about

Amaury.

As long as he could return Amaury to me, I was willing to move on from the incident a year ago andpretend that nothing had happened. For Michael's sake, I would remain respectful whenever I sawLincoln in the future.

After Michael returned, he looked quite grim. In truth, I could already guess what he went back for. I justdid not want to jump to the worst conclusion.

There was rarely anything that could affect his mood. Looking at his gloomy expression, I knew thatsomething bad had happened when he returned, and it probably had to do with me.

While he sat on the couch in the living room, I approached him with a glass of water and sat downbeside him.

“Did your father summon you back because he found out that we're together again?” I asked calmly asI looked into his eyes, my voice filled with certainty.He spoke in such a matter-of-fact and domineering manner that I stared at him speechlessly. There'sno cure to his possessiveness. If I do as he says, I will have no more male friends!

“Yeah,” replied Michael calmly. Instead of hiding the truth from me, he affirmed my guess.

“He doesn't want us to be together, right? Does he still hate me because of your mother?”

Actually, I could understand why Lincoln hated me. After all, he still believed that I was to be blamed forhis wife's hospitalization. However, what he did not only harmed me but also Amaury and Michael.

As for Josephine, I still felt a bit guilty, but I would not keep putting up with Lincoln's attitude.

“Since your father doesn't allow us to be together, what do you plan to do?” I asked seriously as Igazed into his eyes.

As I could tell what had happened, I did not feel anything after hearing his response.

“No one can stop us from being together. You're the only woman I want! No matter what, I'll make youstay by my side forever,” promised Michael resolutely as he hugged me tightly in his arms.

As I listened in his embrace, I could feel that his words were genuine.

Touched by Michael's words, my heart skipped a beat. After all, Lincoln was his father. His act ofdefying his father's wishes and choosing to be with me was more than enough to prove his love for me.

“But if you insist on being together with me, your relationship with your father might...”

I frowned slightly. Although I did not like Lincoln and still remembered what happened a year ago, hewas not getting any younger. The last thing I wanted was for Michael to fall out with him because of meand cause the Shaw family to end up in a more chaotic situation.

“Anna, listen carefully. No matter what, you must remain by my side. If you leave me like what you did ayear ago, I'll never forgive you!” warned Michael, turning his head abruptly upon hearing what I said.

There was a cold glint in his threatening gaze.

I did not expect him to say something like that all of a sudden. When I met his eyes, my heart skipped abeat. Is he afraid that I'll disappear from his sight again?

Right then, I recalled what happened a year ago—we resented each other because of amisunderstanding. Even at that moment, thinking about it still made me feel quite upset. Although hewas the person I cared about the most, I forced myself to hate him for a whole year. I would be lying if Isaid that I was not unhappy.

“No, I will never leave you again. Unless you don't want me anymore, I will never leave you!” Ipromised firmly after a moment of silence, staring into his eyes.

Time crawled by so slowly during that year when we were separated. Now that we were finallyreunited, I could never bear to part from him again. In fact, I wished for nothing more than to be by hisside every second.

“Remember what you said! No matter what happens, we must always be together. Amaury too! I knowwhat you're thinking about. I'll let Amaury return to your side. I want both of you with me!”

I could never hide my thoughts from Michael. This time, I came back just for Amaury. He knew this verywell, so he promised me before I could even bring the topic up.

“Yeah, I believe you. If possible, I wish for this issue to be resolved peacefully. I don't want things to gettoo ugly with your father. He's your father, after all.”

If Lincoln were not Michael's father, I would not have so many inhibitions. Although I had decided toresolve it peacefully, it did not mean that I had forgotten what happened a year ago. I just did not wantto make Michael upset.

“Okay, I'll settle this,” guaranteed Michael determinedly as he hugged me tightly.

After I chatted with Michael for a while, he received a call from his company and left.

I knew that due to the competition with Nicholas' company, Michael had a lot of work to settle in theoffice. Hence, I did not hold him back.

After he left, I sat in the living room alone, feeling frustrated. After some time, my phone rang. When Isaw that Lincoln was calling me, I frowned.

If he was calling me at this juncture, it must be because of Michael being together with me.

I knew that his call definitely did not signify anything good. However, out of courtesy, I still picked it up.
