After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 268

“It's a reminder!” I looked Emma in the eye, not backing down.

“Anna, how dare you!”

She was raging at my retort. Before she could say anything, Michael cut in with a roar, “Enough!”

His deep voice was so cold that both of us instantly shut our mouths.

Even though none of us wanted to back away in the fight, we couldn't help but cower in front of him.

Emma's expression instantly changed. Next, she ran over to his side, looking so wronged as she grasped his arm and choked on her voice.

“Michael, did you see how that woman treated me just now? She's here to ruin our wedding. Can you please chase her away immediately?”

She looked so pitiful that I would pull her into my embrace to comfort her if I were a man.

Unfortunately, her trick was useless to Michael. All she got was an impatient gaze from him as he pushed her away mercilessly.

“Michael...”

Emma had never expected him to give her such a reaction. She widened her eyes in disbelief.

No matter what, it was their wedding that day. It was only natural for her to be upset. Moreover, it wasn't a secret that Emma had always liked him.

Michael didn't look at Emma at all. Instead, he strode toward me before stopping in front of me with a solemn look. For some reason, my heart trembled uncontrollably upon meeting his gaze.

“Why didn't you tell me that you're pregnant? Anna, am I a fool in your eyes? Is it fun to keep me in the dark?”

He seemed calm on the surface, yet there was an undeniable rage in his voice. I couldn't help but lower my head, feeling guilty.

I didn't dare to meet his eyes or speak because I didn't know how to explain myself. After all, I was so adamant about keeping it a secret from Michael in the beginning. If it weren't for the accident yesterday, I wouldn't have changed my mind.

“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sabotage your wedding, but I—”

I parted my lips and started to explain. However, I couldn't finish the sentence upon noticing how Michael's expression grew darker midway.

He refused to listen to me as he asked, “You chose to tell me on the day of my wedding to pressure me by using the public, didn't you?”

“No! I didn't! It's not what you think!” I quickly explained, seeing that he had misunderstood me.

How could he think of me like that? It never came to my mind before, not even once.

Standing behind him, Emma smirked smugly upon taking in how he treated me.

“All right, that's enough!”

With that said, he turned toward Emma.

His attitude just now made me believe that my effort that day had all gone to waste and that he wouldn't cancel his wedding due to my pregnancy. Yet, to my relief and surprise, he wasn't that cold-hearted.

“Our wedding is canceled!” His voice sounded firm as he spoke to Emma coldly.

The smile on Emma's face dissipated as she froze in place upon hearing his announcement. Soon after that, she went into a panic.

“Why? Is it because of this woman? Are you going to call off our wedding just because of her words? Don't you know that everyone in the country is looking forward to it? How am I going to face the others in the future if you cancel it as you wish?”

Emma could no longer suppress her emotion at that point. She looked at Michael in agonizing pain, her eyes teary.

Indeed, everyone knew about their wedding. If Michael canceled it, she wouldn't be able to hold her head high in front of others again. It was undoubtedly an utter humiliation for her.

“That is your problem to handle. How can I leave Anna now that she is pregnant with my child?”

Emma's cry did not affect him at all. His gaze on her was still as cold as before. He did not care about how his action would influence her.

Emma shuddered when she heard that. Her face turned pale instantly as she had never expected him to be so cruel to her.
