After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 255

“I'm worried about you. After seeing how unwell you were yesterday, I was afraid that your stomach's still upset. So, I asked the housekeeper to make some easily digestible food for you.”

While Ronan informed me of the purpose of his visit, he walked past me and placed a lunch box on the table. He then opened the covers and laid everything perfectly.

I turned my gaze to the dishes and saw that all of them were simple and mild, without any meat. For once, I didn't feel nauseated when the smell of food penetrated my nasal.

“Thank you, but please, there's no need to trouble yourself in the future.”

I was incredibly touched. I was well aware of Ronan's intention, and that was the reason why I tried to stay away from him. At the same time, I was confused as to why he didn't ask me anything about my relationship with Michael. After all, the scandal about us had spread like wildfire.

“No worries,” said Ronan, grinning.

He pretended not to know the meaning behind my words, but I could see the disappointment in his eyes.

I frowned at his reaction, but I remained silent. I then sat down and started digging in.

“Ronan, have you seen the news about Michael?” Finally, I asked him the question that had been bothering me since the day before.

The scandal about Michael and I have been the talk of the town. Ronan must have heard of it, right?

“You mean news about my cousin? What news? I just got back from overseas yesterday. I didn't even get to meet him yet.”

Ronan stopped eating and looked at me in confusion after hearing my question. His voice was filled with puzzlement as well.

I didn't know how to react to his response as I originally thought that he would question me about the scandal. After a moment, I finally regained my senses. Turns out he has no idea about the news because he's been abroad.


“I-It's nothing.”

At first, I planned to come clean with him, but after seeing his reaction, I changed my mind. I merely carried on eating.

“Anna, why does it feel like something is going on between you and Michael?” asked Ronan suddenly.

My chest instantly tightened from his question, and my head jerked up.

When I met with his questioning gaze, I averted my eyes guiltily.

“Nothing is going on. Come on now, finish your food. I want to rest afterward.” With that, I stopped talking. I didn't want to discuss any topic related to Michael with him.

After finishing everything up, I walked into the kitchen to wash the lunch boxes brought by Ronan. After all, it would be rude if I didn't do anything in return.

“Can I look around your house? I'll leave after you finish washing up.” Ronan, who was still sitting at the dining table, asked with anticipation.

I frowned at his request. I wanted to reject him, but after a moment of deliberation, I allowed him to as he wished. After all, Michael had moved all his stuff out, and I had nothing to hide.

“Sure. Help yourself.”

I then turned to continue washing the lunch boxes and ignored him.

Ronan was excited after getting my permission. He walked around the house and took a look at everything.

After I was done with everything, I walked out of the kitchen with the lunch boxes in hand. I saw Ronan sitting on the living room couch. He was staring at something in his hand.

I then realized that it was my pregnancy test result from two days ago. I dashed toward him and snatched the paper from him.

I had totally forgotten about the test result, and I didn't expect that Ronan would see it.

Ronan turned around and saw the panic in my eyes. His face darkened, and I saw the disappointment and shock in his eyes.

“You're pregnant?” Ronan asked after a long silence.

He no longer had a playful tone to his voice; instead, he sounded serious.

I lowered my head, avoiding his gaze. At the same time, I was worried. I was scared that my pregnancy would be made known to others.

“Yes,” I replied after some time.

The anger on Ronan's face was obvious after he heard my response. I noticed that he was trying to contain the fury in him.
