After Marrying My Boss

Perhaps it was because my tone had become softer that Michael was smiling wider than usual. I took over Amaury again, and he quickly slept in my arms. It was quite late already, after all. Michael only kept silent as he accompanied me by my side.

If what happened a year ago didn't take place, we would've looked like a happy little family at that moment. I would've had the life I wanted.

“Put him down,” he reminded me when he saw how unwilling I was to put Amaury down.

I didn't want to, but I still placed my child in his crib.

As I stood next to his bed, staring at how cute he was, I really wished I could always stay by his side.

After taking one last glance at him, I looked away and noticed the crib was inside the room I once lived with Michael.

“It's getting late. I'll be leaving now, but I hope I can see Amaury often.” I actually wanted to stay and accompany my child, but I didn't think it was appropriate for me to do so with Michael around. After all, our relationship had changed.

Just as I picked up my bag and was about to leave, he grabbed my arm and broke his silence. “Stay for the night.”

He sounded like he was pleading with me. In the past, he would almost always speak to me in a commanding way. I was a little shocked by his sudden change in tone.

Though, when I thought about staying there for the night, I resisted in my heart. We weren't how we used to be anymore. It would cause nothing but awkwardness between us if we stayed in the same building.

“I don't think it's appropriate. I should leave.” I pulled my hand away from him and prepared to leave.

“Are you really that cruel, Anna? Can't you at least be nicer for Amaury?” His voice rang out again.

There was a hint of fury and agitation in his words.

Well, he was being gentler compared to how he had acted before. However, the problem between us couldn't be solved by being nicer.

“What do you want me to do?” I asked.

Both of us were furrowing our eyebrows and staring at each other coldly.

“Think of it as accompanying Amaury by staying tonight.” To my surprise, he sighed and softened his tone.

I hesitated when I heard Amaury's name.

However, I still put my foot down and turned away. Suddenly, Michael grabbed my arm and, before I could react, kissed me again.

My heart trembled as he kissed me for the second time today. I snapped out of my shock swiftly and pushed him away, but we were in his territory. He wasn't going to hold back as he did back in the company.

His hands began to touch me inappropriately as I felt his lower half getting hotter. At that instant, I knew what he was trying to do. I was furious. There was nothing between us anymore, yet he still tried to do that kind of thing with me.

I pushed him away with all my strength furiously.

“If you refuse me, you're not going to meet Amaury that easily again, Anna!” he whispered in a deep and lustful voice next to my ear.

I was going to keep resisting him, but when he threatened me with Amaury, my struggle stopped. I stared at my sleeping child, wondering how much pain I would be in if I couldn't see him again for a long time.
