Love From My Dominant Boss Chapter 553

Chapter 553 An Ambiguous Message

I could not help but feel revolted when I recalled the pitiful look that Leanne put on when she was with Michael. In the eyes of men, she might appear weak and helpless. However, in the eyes of women, her vulnerability appeared fake.

“Fine. Even if you don’t like her, you don’t have to say that about her, do you?”

Michael shook his head helplessly. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling sorry for her? I haven’t even finished yet. What’s the hurry?”

For the past two days, I had not been in a good mood because he had been spending his nights taking care of that woman. Now that he was defending Leanne, it infuriated me even more.

I looked into Michael’s eyes and continued to poke him with my words. “What makes you think I feel sorry for her? I’m not related to Leanne in any way. Why should I feel sorry for her?”

I knew Michael would be displeased with what I said just now, but I could not care less. “Are you sure? Do you think I can’t tell that woman is interested in you? You may treat her as a friend, but she may not think so. She may want something more than that with you.”

Hmph! Even though I knew Michael did not betray me, I was still upset at the thought of another woman pining for my man.

Sometimes, when your partner was too outstanding, it could bring you fear and uncertainty. Although I was aware that he was faithful to me, he might still fall for her tricks.

“All right. Don’t be angry. There’s nothing between Leanne and me. Didn’t you say so just now? You will hire a nurse to look after her so that I don’t have to see her again.”

When Michael noticed the annoyance in my tone, he stopped the car and pulled me into his arms.

When I heard what he said, the anger in me subsided. I rolled my eyes at him and said nothing else.

After our meal, Michael did not return to the hospital. Instead, he drove straight home.

The moment we reached home, his phone beeped to indicate that he had received a message.

When Michael was driving, he had the habit of leaving his phone next to him. Therefore, both of us could see that the message was from Leanne.

Knowing that she had ulterior motives, the incoming message from her irritated me even more.

I looked up at Michael unhappily.

Michael picked up his phone and was about to read the message when I snatched his phone from him. There was only a single sentence. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

I have never thought we will become strangers one day…

It looked like an innocent statement, but there was an ambiguous meaning behind it. I did not like it one bit, so I deleted the message straight away.

Michael looked at me without any expression or reaction.

Seeing that he said nothing, I felt like venting my frustration on him. “What’s wrong? Are you angry with me for deleting your message?”

Although Leanne was the one who sent the message, I could only vent it out to Michael. It was his fault for having so many admirers.

Michael shook his head and said, “I didn’t say anything. If you want to delete it, go ahead.”

With that, he opened the door and was about to get out of the car.

“That’s not the only thing I want to do. You have to promise me that you will never respond to her messages in the future!”

It was a coincidence that I read the message and deleted it, so he could not read it. However, I certainly did not want those kinds of messages happening between the two of them.

I was a jealous woman, and I wanted to be the only woman in Michael’s heart. There was no way I could accept him flirting with other women.

“I will do whatever you say. I promise you that I won’t reply to her messages. Okay?”

Michael agreed to my unreasonable demand without a single hint of reproach.

If he had shown any sign of frustration or unwillingness to abide by my request, I would have been furious and suspicious of their relationship.

However, his immediate promise to me put me at ease.

Deep in my heart, I believed Michael. It was Leanne that I did not trust.

Although she had reassured me earlier on at the hospital that there was nothing between her and Michael, I still did not trust her.

If what she said was true, then she would not have sent him that ambiguous message. It was only then I realized how scheming she was.

I should not have underestimated her. Initially, I thought she only knew how to put on a pitiful front. By the look of things, she was also very good at playing psychological games.

When we went into the house, the entire Shaw family was in the living room, and they looked very solemn. However, when they saw both of us walking in together, they had a strange look in their eyes.

“Did the two of you go out together today? Both of you have reconciled?”

Josephine was the first to speak, albeit gingerly. She raised her eyebrows and eyed the two of us.

“What do you mean? Reconciled? There’s no issue between us,” said Michael unhappily.

That morning, things were indeed awkward between me and Michael. During that time, I was unsure of the relationship between Michael and Leanne.

His family members were very smart people. They must have noticed the awkwardness between us that morning. Hence, it was understandable that they would say something like that.

I was a little embarrassed to have worried the entire family because of our problem.

Knowing that Josephine had always been concerned about us, I walked up to her and held her arm. “Mom, we are fine. It’s just a small misunderstanding. Everything has been resolved, so please don’t worry about us.”

“That’s good to know. I have been wondering for the whole day if the two of you had a fight. I’m glad to see both of you together.”

After hearing my explanation, Josephine patted my hand, and she appeared relieved.

I could sense the care and concern from Josephine, so I smiled and promised her, “Mom, I’m really sorry about that. In the future, nothing like this will ever happen again. I won’t let anyone worry about us again.”

I was equally uneasy with the misunderstanding that we had. That was why I did not want the same thing to happen in the future.
