Love from My Dominant Boss Chapter 425

Nicholas Got Beaten

“Michael, how could you be so unreasonable? This is preposterous!”

I shot an angry look at Michael. At that moment, I wished I could slap him in the face. He was the one who got violent in the first place. Yet, he still acted like he did nothing wrong.

“Anna, forget it. Stop arguing with him.”

Just when I was about to lose my temper completely, Nicholas grabbed my hand and comforted me with a meek voice.

I was concerned about his wounds as they looked severe. Hence, I turned away and ignored Michael.

“Let’s skip the dinner tonight. Let me send you to the hospital first. The wounds on your face look severe. We need to get it treated immediately.”

If he goes to the company tomorrow looking like this, I bet the employees will come up with all kinds of gossip.

“Hold on. You haven’t given me an answer to my proposal just now. Anna, I really want to be with you. Can you accept my proposal? I promise I will treat you well, and I won’t do anything to hurt you.”

Nicholas took out the ring again and handed it to me. I was rendered speechless by his gesture.

Seeing him being so persistent even after getting injured, I furrowed my brows. Even though I still felt nothing for him, I could not make myself reject him. Besides, I was not in the mood to consider such an

important matter in such a situation. The priority now should be getting him to the hospital to treat those wounds.

I took a deep breath and tried to recollect myself. I intended to persuade him to go to the hospital first. However, before I could open my mouth, Michael’s voice sounded again.

“Anna, don’t you dare accept his proposal! You belong to me!”

His tone sounded arrogant and rude as always. He’s indeed the most self-centered person I have ever met.

I was beyond exasperated upon hearing that. Even now, he still tries to threaten me! Everything happened today because of him. Yet, he shows no remorse at all. I never thought he could be so unreasonable. What makes him think he can control me?

Initially, I wanted to reject Nicholas. However, Michael’s insufferable behavior provoked me, and I changed my mind. Overwhelmed with rage, I accepted Nicholas’ proposal.

“Okay, I’ll accept your proposal. I believe you are a good man, and that you will never do anything to hurt me.”

I looked at Nicholas with a gentle gaze. Even though I was talking to him, my words were actually meant for Michael. Since Michael did not want me to marry another man, I would do the opposite of what he said. I wondered how he would react to it and what kind of crazy antics he would pull next.

“Anna, how dare you!”

Before Nicholas could say anything, Michael opened his mouth again, his tone dripping with unadulterated rage.

“It’s my freedom to be with whoever I want. You can’t control me!” I uttered indifferently.

I did not look at Michael at all when I spoke.

“Okay. Let me put the ring on your finger.”

Nicholas seemed to be surprised by my answer, for he looked to be in shock as he slid the ring onto my middle finger, his hand trembling slightly as he did so.

I froze on the spot as I stared at the ring on my finger. It was only then that I finally realized what I had done in my moment of anger. I could not believe I had actually accepted Nicholas’ proposal.

Am I out of my mind? How could I let my anger blind me?

After putting the ring on my finger, Nicholas planted a gentle kiss on the back of my hand. Feeling his warm lips, my expression stiffened as I immediately pulled back my hand.

He noticed my awkwardness, but he did not say anything. He stood up and pulled me up with him.

Meanwhile, Michael was shooting daggers at my ring as he clenched his fists. I had never seen him so enraged before. For a moment, I thought he was going to hit me.

“Anna, I hope you won’t regret the decision you made today!”

Upon saying that, Michael turned and left abruptly.

Disappointment welled up within me as I stared at his departing figure. I did not know how it ended up like this. However, it was not the time for me to get emotional. I still needed to take Nicholas to the hospital.

I cleared my thought and tried not to think about Michael anymore.

“Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to the hospital. Your wounds need to be treated soon. Otherwise, I fear it will cause an uproar in the company tomorrow,” I uttered faintly as I grabbed Nicholas’ hand.

Nicholas nodded and did not reject my request. I reckoned he was satisfied with that night’s outcome. After all, he had always wanted to make Michael misunderstand our relationship. It seemed like he had succeeded.

After we got to the hospital, the doctor applied some ointment on Nicholas’ face and prescribed some anti-inflammatories for him. The doctor said there was nothing to be worried about in his injury. Hence, it didn’t take long for us to leave the hospital.

Since he was injured, I drove his car and sent him back to his house.

After parking the car outside the building, I prepared to leave. Before I could, however, Nicholas grabbed my hand.

“Are you leaving already?”

His tone sounded unsatisfied. I glanced at him and noticed him furrowing his brows.

“Of course. It’s late. I need to go back earlier to rest. We can talk tomorrow if there’s anything.”

After all the fuss earlier, I was not in the mood to entertain him anymore. All I wanted was to get a good night’s sleep and forget about everything that happened.

“I was beaten badly, and I have not eaten dinner yet. Are you really fine with seeing me heading up alone and cooking for myself?”

Still frowning, he let out a helpless sigh as he spoke.

I understood what he was implying. He wanted me to cook for him. Even though I did not feel like doing so, I felt guilty since he got injured because of me. As such, I thought it was my obligation to at least take care of him for that day.

Letting out a sigh, I eventually chose to give in. “All right, then. I’ll go and cook something for you. I’ll leave after that.”

Nicholas’ eyes lit up, evidently delighted after hearing my response. With that, I followed him into his house.

Even though we came back to this country together, I had never been to his place until now. I thought we were not close enough for that. After seeing his house design, I felt like he was someone with great taste.

Walking into the living room, I placed the medicine on the table and asked, “Where is your kitchen? Let me cook for you first.”

“There should be some ingredients inside the fridge. I’m not sure if it’s enough, though.”

He pointed at the kitchen. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

I did not say anything else as I made my way toward the kitchen.

Just like he said, there was nothing much inside the fridge. There were only some eggs and vegetables.

I sighed helplessly as it was challenging to make a meal with such limited ingredients.
