After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 352

Josephine came to the mansion again that day. When I saw her, an uneasy feeling filled my chest. The last time we met was more than a month ago. It's unlikely that she will try settling the score for the previous incident now, right?

As I thought of this, worry grew in me.

“You're here, Mom. Would you like something to drink?” I greeted politely while walking up to her.

“That won't be necessary. I'm not here for coffee.”

Josephine merely shot me a glare. Though she was not as hostile as before, her expression was still unfriendly.

“Is there anything I can help you with, Mom? By the way, Michael's in the office right now. Why don't you give him a call?”

Wow, the change in Mom's attitude is rather drastic. Every time she was here, she would teach me a lesson, yet she's rather polite today.

“I'm here for you, not Michael.” Josephine then turned to face me. Though her gaze was unfriendly, her tone was better than before.

Did she change because I retorted her last time? If so, it's a blessing in disguise.

“Why are you here today, Mom?”

I couldn't wrap my head around the reason for her visit. But it seemed that she wasn't here to lecture me.

“You're pregnant for more than four months now, correct?” Josephine asked in a flat tone without the usual hostility.

I was startled when I heard her question. When I regained my senses, I couldn't help but smile inwardly. It seems that Mom changed her attitude toward me because of the baby.

“Yes, almost five months now,” I replied with a faint smile.

At the same time, my eyes were filled with delight, and my hands were caressing my belly.

“Five months means the baby is fully formed. I want you to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow.” Josephine spoke in the same flat voice, but her words thrilled me.

“Okay. I'll go for a check-up tomorrow.” I couldn't hide my feelings as I spoke.

Though Josephine was still expressionless, the fact that she came to visit my child made me happy.

“Oh, do give this to the doctor tomorrow as well.”

Josephine then took out a thick envelope from her bag and placed it on the coffee table.

Even though I did not check the envelope's contents, I was sure that it contained money, and judging by the thickness, I estimated that there were at least twenty thousand inside. As such, I was confused with Josephine's intention.

I'd then guessed that Josephine wanted to give the doctor a monetary gift to ensure he took better care of me. If this was her intention, then Josephine truly cared for my baby.

“Mom, doctors these days are quite responsible and serious. You don't have to give them this.”

I pushed the envelope back to her with a troubled look. In my opinion, the monetary gift was unnecessary. Additionally, the hospital prohibited its doctors from receiving monetary gifts. Moreover, even though I was aware of Josephine's good intention, I was ashamed to do things like this.

“No, you have to give the doctor this. Nowadays, the doctors won't tell you the gender of the child if you don't give them monetary gifts,” Josephine shot back with a frown, and her eyes were full of contempt.

In that instant, I finally understood the purpose of her visit. Josephine didn't care about the baby's health. Instead, she merely wanted to know the baby's gender.

My heart was immediately flooded with disappointment. I was genuinely irritated that Josephine wanted me to check the baby's gender.

In my heart, I would cherish the child I had with Michael regardless of gender.

“Mom, we will find out about the gender eventually when the baby is born. There's no need to know it now.”

Though I was offended by her request to check the baby's gender and felt that she didn't respect my child, I tried my utmost best to contain my anger toward Josephine and spoke in a calm tone.
