Love from My Dominant Boss Chapter 357
Seeing that Natalie was no longer feeling awkward, I walked to her side, took her arm, and sat down with her. I looked at her expectantly and said, “Your relationship with Yuval must be doing well since you guys are already making out. I don’t even know you guys have confirmed your relationship.”
Natalie was still unsure if she would be with Yuval the last time I asked her. It had only been two months since, and they were already making out with each other.
Natalie ignored my protests and retorted, “You’re always so busy. Do I have to report to you every little event in my daily life?”
“You are my best friend. Shouldn’t you tell me if you have found yourself a boyfriend?” I pursed my lips as I looked at Natalie in dissatisfaction. She’s quite good at keeping it secret too. I don’t even know how long they have been together.
After hearing my words, Natalie lowered her head and looked troubled. “I wanted to tell you about it, but I was afraid that you would become upset. So, that’s why I have been thinking about how to break the news to you.”
“What are you talking about? Why would I be upset when you found the love of your life? Didn’t I already tell you that I don’t have any feelings for Yuval? Now that I think about it, it was kind of funny. I was desperate to get married at that time, so I didn’t care if I was in love with him or not.”
I admit that Yuval is a good man. He is mature, has a good temper, and has a respectable income. In any case, he would be an ideal partner, but I didn’t have any feelings for him at that time. I only treated him as a friend.
“I’m relieved you said that. I was going to tell you in the beginning, but I was afraid you would get upset. That’s why I delayed the news until now.”
After hearing my words, Natalie heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the matter had made her feel very troubled.
I shook my head resignedly. The relationship between Yuval and me was ancient history. I can’t believe she still remembers it.
Seemingly to recall something, Natalie turned to me and asked me with a puzzled expression, “By the way, why are you not at your mansion and keeping Michael company this late in the night? Why have you come to my place?”
My mood had improved a lot, and I had forgotten about what had happened that night after resolving the issue between Natalie and Yuval. After Natalie mentioned it, I recalled what had happened again.
I lowered my gaze as I became a little disheartened. I remembered that Josephine had found out the baby’s gender without my consent, and Michael even knew about it. I was kept in the dark like a fool. Come to think of it; I have never felt this disappointed in Michael before. I never thought that he would do this to me.
After seeing my disheartened expression, Natalie asked me in concern, “What’s wrong, Anna? Why do you look upset? Did you have a fight with Michael?”
I sighed and told her everything that had happened that day. Natalie is the only one I can confide in with these matters. She is my only friend who will think of me from my perspective.
After she heard my words, Natalie became angry. “That’s some mother-in-law you got there! I can’t believe she went and found out about the baby’s gender. Hasn’t she heard of gender equality? So what if the baby is a girl? Is she not Michael’s child too? Do they want you to abort the child if she is a girl?”
Natalie looked furious as she spoke about the treatment I had received. After hearing her words, I was touched because she understood what I was feeling.
However, she didn’t know that I had grown up in a patriarchal household. Although I hid it well, I didn’t want these things to happen to my child.
“Natalie, I’m feeling really troubled right now.”
Raising my head, I looked ahead with a disappointed look on my face.
“Anna, I understand how you feel. How could Michael just let his mother do this? This is disrespectful to you and your child!” said Natalie angrily. If she were me, she would have gone mad by now.
I could understand if Michael didn’t know about the matter. However, if he did and still didn’t stop his mother, I really doubt he even cared about our child.
“Natalie, what should I do? Michael is downstairs now, but I don’t want to see him. I become upset whenever I think about how he and Josephine work together to deceive me. He is the person I trust the most!”
I knew that Michael was still downstairs, and I didn’t know how I should face him. I didn’t like him when he was like this.
After hearing that, Natalie walked to the balcony and peered down. “Yeah, his car is still there. He’s probably waiting for you.”
After taking a look, Natalie pulled the curtains close. She looked like she was even more upset than me.
Natalie sat beside me, put her hand on my shoulder, and said, “If you don’t want to see him, you can stay here. I have a spare room. You can stay for as long as you like.”
After hearing Natalie’s words, I hesitated for a moment before nodding. Although I couldn’t bear to let Michael wait alone downstairs, I knew I had to make it clear to Michael that I would not tolerate Josephine’s behavior and his inaction.
After Natalie gave me some words of advice, I went back to my previous room to rest. Even if I had been away for so long, the things on my bed were still there, so I didn’t have to spend time tidying up.
As I lay on the bed, I was still thinking about the matter. When I thought about Michael’s face, I put on my slippers and walked to the window.
I looked down at the spot that Michael had parked his car just now. His car was still there, but I didn’t know what was happening inside his vehicle.
I couldn’t bear to let Michael wait there for the night, but I was still angry at him for asking me to compromise.
I pulled the curtains close and stopped looking at Michael’s spot. If he is willing to wait, I’ll just let him be. He totally deserves this, and I will never forgive him easily.
