After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 252

Hearing the disconnect tone from the phone, my heart sank in despair. I was still trembling in fear.

I might not be this scared if this had happened before. However, I was pregnant now. I had to keep myself safe during my pregnancy.

It would take Michael at least another half an hour to travel to my place. Yet, he came into sight within twenty minutes.

After taking in the messy situation, the look on his face froze for a moment. He then strode toward me and crouched down with a concerned look. “What happened?”

Michael's voice was deep and hoarse, it sounded a little cold, but I could tell that he was nervous about me.

“I don't know. A couple of men barged in and started smashing my stuff. They didn't say anything but mentioned that I've made some enemy out there.”

I got into his arms once he appeared in front of me. His presence made me feel much more relieved, and my fear from earlier was slowly fading away.

“How about you? Did they hurt you?”

He carefully scrutinized me. I knew he was concerned about me.

“I-I'm fine...”

I was about to tell him that they shoved me, but I swallowed my words immediately as I didn't want him to know about the baby.

Although I said I was fine, Michael was still frowning. Noticing the cold glint in his eyes, I guessed he was furious about this.

“Do you know who did this?”

We were silent for a while, and Michael turned toward me, asking me that question with a serious tone.

My gaze flickered slightly upon hearing that question. I didn't know how to answer him.

“If I told you this was Emma's doing, will you believe me?”

After all, Emma was Michael's fiancée. I had already driven a wedge between them back when Michael helped me. He probably wouldn't believe my words now.

As expected, Michael's expression darkened upon hearing that. He didn't answer, and his silence made me feel uneasy.

I didn't want to suspect Emma of this, but she was the only one holding grudges against me. Besides, not many people knew that I lived here.

Michael was remaining silent, but his gaze turned colder with time. I hung my head low, feeling a little disappointed. Before I could say something else, Michael interrupted by saying, “I'll have someone clean this mess up later. Let's take you to the hospital and see if you're injured.”

Just like that, Michael shifted the topic. He then helped me up.

“There's no need for that. I wasn't injured. They didn't hurt me.” I rejected his offer right away. I was afraid that he would find out that I was pregnant once we were at the hospital.

I pushed his hand away, and my expression turned a little awkward. To be more accurate, I panicked and felt guilty.

Michael was a smart guy, and he frowned upon noticing my unusual reaction. His eyes were filled with doubts as he stared at me.

“Anna, are you hiding something from me?”

He stared down at me with an inquisitive look in his eyes.

I would always feel guilty whenever he looked at me like that especially now that I was hiding my pregnancy from him.

“N-No, not at all. You're overthinking.”

I was being wary, afraid that he would notice anything.

If I was to tell him about my pregnancy, he might think that I would use my baby to threaten him.

“Anna, you'd better not be hiding anything from me.”

Michael stopped asking, but I could tell that he didn't buy my act at all.

“Well, it's not like I can hide anything from you without you knowing. Am I right?”

I lowered my head in guilt, not having the courage to meet his gaze. Regardless, I still tried to sound calm.

“You'd better be!”

He scoffed. After scrutinizing me, he made a phone call to request someone to clean up this place and replace the furniture.
