After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 26

“I'm worried about you, John. Just let me take you home.”

Natalie held onto the man's arm and blinked coquettishly at him. If he were to reject her again, even after I spoke on Natalie's behalf, it would definitely arouse her suspicion.

Thus, he didn't refuse this time and agreed to have Natalie send him home. After the two of them left, I settled the bill and took a taxi back to Natalie's house.

As I was officially starting work the next day, I made sure to prepare everything I needed in advance, lest I ended up late on my first day.

Glancing at the wall clock, I noticed that it was already nine. I assumed that Natalie would be back home late and prepared to call it a night.

However, the front door opened moments after and Natalie walked in. Upon seeing her back so soon, a frown formed between my brows and I made my way toward her.

“Why are you back so soon? Why didn't you spend more quality time with your boyfriend?” I draped an arm over her shoulder and teased.

“He said he's tired. He told me to go home before I could even go upstairs with him. Anna, did I do something wrong? Otherwise, why was he so cold to me today?”

Natalie raised her head to look at me with a dejected look on her face.

After hearing what she said, rage surged in my heart once again. ”Tired” is just an excuse. He probably feels guilty, that's why!

And this silly girl thinks she did something wrong when it's clearly that prick who's cheating on her!

I took a deep breath to quell my rage. I already gave John a warning earlier today. If he changes, then all is well. But if I find out he's playing with Natalie's feelings, I'll never let him off the hook.

“What are you talking about, Natalie? Do you know how hard it is to find a girlfriend who is as kind and sweet as you? John is lucky to have you as his girlfriend, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.”

Natalie usually seemed unconcerned, she was, in fact, kind and very loyal to her friends. All in all, she was a very likeable person.

“Well, this is a first. I don't recall you ever praising me like that before.”

My words seemed to work like a charm as made her break into a pretty smile.

“I have some advice for you. Pay closer attention to John from now on. Observe him and his demeanor more.”

Worried that she would put her whole heart into this relationship, I couldn't help myself from giving her a reminder. If John didn't change, she would be the one who got hurt, and that was the last thing I wanted to see.

“What's that supposed to mean, Anna? You don't believe he truly loves me? Your previous relationships must've scarred you pretty badly for you to be this cynical.”

Natalie looked at me with amusement, not taking my advice seriously whatsoever.

Perhaps she was already convinced that John loved her and that the two of them would live happily ever after.

I wanted to say something else, but the unperturbed look on Natalie's face made me realize that nothing I said would get through to her. Hence, I swallowed the words that sat at the tip of my tongue.

“I guess so. I just don't want you to get hurt. It's getting late. Let's get some sleep now. It's a working day for both of us tomorrow.”

The thought of that scumbag, Justin, disgusted me, but the initial hurt I felt was already fading.

Natalie seemed to realize that she had slipped up and ripped the band-aid off my wound. She wanted to say something, but I didn't give her the chance to speak and directly went back to my room.

I already moved on, vowing to never cry over a scumbag because it just wasn't worth it. The most important thing for me right then was to work hard so that my parents could live a good life in the countryside.

I was just a child born in the countryside. My parents worked hard their whole lives to put me through university. My dad was getting up in years and had to take many types of medication for his weak heart. Thus, my only priority was to focus on my career and make more money.

After joining Joyful Success, my life went back on track as I threw myself into work.

However, my peaceful days were short-lived.

When my wedding with Justin was canceled so abruptly, my dad's heart condition worsened from the shock. Since then, he had to take even more drugs than before, and according to the doctor, the best solution was to get a heart stent surgery.
