After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 309

Upon noticing Michael's gaze on me, Josephine knew that he was worried about me. Hence, her tone and attitude became harsher.

In fact, I understood why she would act in that way. Her son cared about another woman's feelings more than hers. It was only natural she would feel upset.

“Of course, you can do that. But then, we don't want to trouble you. Anna will handle everything here since this is our house. She can decorate it according to her preferences.” Michael flashed a smile.

He pretended to worry about Josephine on the surface. However, he was being considerate of me deep inside his heart. After all, he knew that I did not want to face Josephine.

“Michael, I know what you're thinking. You've forgotten about your mom now that you have a wife, huh? Is Anna more important than me?” Josephine understood what was on Michael's mind. The more Michael tried to defend me, the more she hated me.

I lowered my head without saying anything, not wanting our relationship to become tenser.

“Mom, that's enough, or I'll really get angry.” The man frowned as he warned with displeasure.

Michael was not good at pleasing anyone. He had never sweet-talked anyone, including me.

Josephine knew him well. She turned to glare at me, saying nothing upon noticing the impatient expression on his face.

Feeling helpless, I let out a sigh. I don't think Michael knows how complicated the relationship between a mother and daughter-in-law is. Otherwise, he would not have defended me just now.

Perceiving Josephine's sharp gaze, I felt anxious. I did not even dare to raise my head to look into her eyes, afraid that she would vent her anger at me.

“Mom, if you have no other business here, you should go home and get some rest now. Don't worry about the wedding anymore. You only have to attend the ceremony on that day.” A moment later, Michael glanced at Josephine, who was glaring at me furiously.

My heart immediately sank upon hearing his words. I let out a sigh under my breath. That's not helping!

“Are you chasing me away now? How can you do that to me? I'm your mother!” Josephine widened her eyes in surprise. Her gaze was blazing with anger.

To be honest, anyone would be infuriated to hear him say that. I would be mad too.

“No, Mrs. Shaw. We'll be happy if you can stay and help us with the decorations.” I instantly grabbed Michael's arm to stop him before he managed to say anything else. Then, I turned to look at Josephine with a bright smile.

Michael stared at me in confusion upon hearing that. He furrowed his brows slightly, trying to figure out the reason I said that.

However, I could not explain much to him in front of Josephine.

I tried to change the topic so that we could resolve the awkwardness. Josephine understood my intention behind my words, so she did not continue the argument with me.

“Michael, do you see that? You're worse than an outsider. I shouldn't have given birth to you in the past. All you do is make me angry every day.” Josephine stared at Michael upon glancing at me.

I knew that Josephine was calling me an outsider. Although I was upset to hear that, I continued to put on a smile.

“Mom!” Michael was never a patient man. He raised his voice as he noticed the sarcasm in Josephine's words.

“Forget about it. My feelings don't matter to you anymore now that you have a wife. Fine. I'll stop bothering you and take my leave now,” Josephine blurted that sentence out after a second. She took her handbag before turning around to leave.

I let out a sigh of relief as I watched Josephine leave. However, I could not help but feel disappointed. There are only three more days to our wedding, but Mrs. Shaw still hasn't accepted me.

I was just an ordinary person. I did not wish for a grand or expensive wedding. The only thing I wanted was blessings for my marriage.

“Don't take that to heart. Just give me a call if anything like that happens again in the future. I'll come back and settle it for you.” Michael turned to look at me.

His tone was calm, but I knew he was worried about me.
