After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 281

I bet he's thinking of something along the lines of “Are you really not going to give me another chance, Anna? We've been together for seven years! Can you really let go?” I might've actually softened up and forgiven him if he came apologizing sincerely like this shortly after our breakup, but... now that I've fallen in love with Michael, sweet-talking no longer has any effect on me.

I looked at him emotionlessly and said in a neutral tone, “I've gotten over it long ago, Justin. I don't love you anymore, so please leave me alone from now on. Besides, you have Mabel now.”

The thought of Justin having sex with my former best friend still disgusted me, and it was most likely the most disgusting thing I had experienced my entire life.

Justin's expression changed the moment I mentioned Mabel, and he grabbed my hand again as he explained, “I've broken up with Mabel ever since I realized you are the one I love. Will you please come back to me, Anna? I promise I'll only love you for the rest of my life, and I won't betray you ever again!”

Justin broke up with Mabel? Now that's a surprise. For some reason, I can't help but feel like there's more to Justin's request for reconciliation than it seems.

“What about your child? Why did you break up with Mabel when you two have a child together? If what you said is true, then that just makes you a much more irresponsible man than I imagined. There's no way in hell I'd ever be with someone like that!”

As if anyone would believe the words of a man who breaks up with the woman he has a child with... When I found out about their affair, Justin begged me to give them my blessings, saying that he actually loved Mabel. Did he forget what he said back then?

Justin grew increasingly anxious when he realized his explanations had backfired. He desperately tried to explain himself again. “I'm telling you the truth, Anna! I can let go of everything else just to be with you! Will you please believe me?”

Having lost all of my patience from talking to him, I brushed his arm off forcefully and said, “I told you, I'm not getting back with you. Don't forget that Michael is my boyfriend now, and I doubt you'd be able to keep your job as manager if he sees you here.”

Justin's relentless behavior left me with no choice but to bring up Michael. Since he was working as a manager in the department store that Michael owned, I figured I would be able to scare him off by threatening him with that.


Justin's expression became twisted the moment he heard Michael's name, and I quickly walked away while he was distracted.

However, I had only taken a few steps when Justin hugged me from behind all of a sudden.

The thought of him being so close to me disgusted me to no end, and I struggled with all of my might while shouting angrily, “What the hell do you think you're doing, Justin? Let go of me!”

Justin's actions had truly infuriated me, and it was the first time I had hated him so much.

“I love you, Anna! Will you please come back to me?” he shouted desperately while keeping his arms wrapped tightly around me.

Enraged by his stubbornness, I stomped him hard on the foot and hurt him enough to let go of me.

I then seized that opportunity and ran off as quickly as my legs could carry me.

Justin used to be the dearest to me, but fear was the only thing I felt when he hugged me at the time.

His sudden appearance left a bad taste in my mouth, and I couldn't get it out of my head even after I went back home.

I had no idea how Justin knew where I was, and I was afraid that he would keep showing up outside my residential area in the future.

It didn't take long before my phone began ringing again, and I quickly whipped it out to see who it was as I feared it was Justin calling.

I felt relieved when I checked the caller ID and saw Natalie's name on it.

That was when I recalled we were supposed to go shopping together, but Justin's harassment left me feeling uneasy, so I told her I wasn't feeling well and hung up after canceling our date.

Natalie knew I had a tendency to be moody during pregnancy and didn't say much apart from telling me to rest well.

Fearing that I would bump into Justin again, I stayed home for the rest of the day.

Fortunately for me, Michael didn't come home very late that night, and I felt a lot safer with him around.

I went up to greet him and helped carry his briefcase the moment he stepped through the door.
