After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 275

Knowing how much he resented me for breaking his heart, I looked down without saying a word. After all, I was the one who had hurt him. Hence, it didn't matter what he said as long as it made him feel better.

Michael furrowed his eyebrows in response as he was visibly displeased.

“Some people are just not fated to be yours.” He changed the topic suddenly, exhibiting his possessiveness.

I knew he was trying to get Ronan to give up on me.

In fact, he made no exceptions, even if it was Ronan.

“Fate? Is that so?”

Ronan smirked before turning his attention to me. I saw the conflicted look in his eyes and couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Looking away from Michael, Ronan stared intently into my eyes and asked, ”Anna, do you think this is fate?”

I knew he was clamoring for a sliver of hope from me. If I answered yes, I would crush him emotionally. However, if I told him otherwise, it would be a slap on Michael's face—I was trapped between a rock and a hard place.

I hung my head and didn't plan on answering his question. It was understandable for him to lash out in response as I had hurt him. The only thing I could do now was to wait for him to let go.

Michael's gaze fell upon me together with Ronan's, as if he, too, was waiting for my answer.

I had thought that by remaining silent, the matter would just blow over. However, I had underestimated the complexity of the situation as Ronan wasn't planning on letting me off. Staring at me earnestly, he pressed on with his question.


“Anna, why aren't you answering my question?”

I knitted my brows and sighed at the sight of Ronan's pained expression. I wanted to say something to comfort him, but I just couldn't find the words.

“Enough, Ronan!” Michael finally snapped, sensing my dilemma. He was a man of little patience. Seeing how Ronan was putting me to the spot, he lost his temper.

“Both of us grew up together, Michael, but you hid your relationship with Anna from me, causing me to pursue her cluelessly. Have you been taking me for a fool?”

Ronan wasn't daunted by Michael's roar. He shifted his gaze to Michael's face and laughed at himself.

In truth, both Michael and I had hidden our relationship from Ronan. Therefore, it was understandable for him to be furious at us.

“It isn't what you think it is.”

Despite Michael's frosty demeanor, he enjoyed a close relationship with Ronan. When he saw how brokenhearted Ronan was over our relationship, he felt equally terrible over it.

Consequently, his expression turned awkward and his tone was gentler than usual. Perhaps he shared my sentiments about feeling guilty over what we did to Ronan.

After staring at me for a while, Ronan said monotonously, “Forget it. I don't want to hear your explanation. I'll be on my way now.”

Without giving both of us a chance to say anything, he circled around us and left abruptly.

Watching as he left only served to intensify my guilt. I was conscious of how much he hated us now. He was a dear friend, and I felt dreadful at how matters turned out.

It wasn't until he was out of sight that I regained my senses.

“Let's go,” Michael said as he glanced at me and pulled me along.

By the time we got back into the car, whatever joy I felt earlier was gone. All I could think of was Ronan's sorrowful expression.

“Ronan, is he...” I started, wanting to discuss Ronan's situation with Michael, but I didn't know what to say.

“Don't worry, he will be fine.”

Michael's casual reply sounded as if he wasn't concerned about Ronan. However, his furrowed eyebrows betrayed his true feelings.

“I feel really guilty when I see the condition he's in.”
