After Marrying My Boss

After I snapped out of my shock, I looked at Michael coldly, certain that he was just fooling around with me.

“Do I look like I'm joking?”

Michael frowned and looked at me with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

“Is that not the case? Do you really expect me to believe what you said?” I scoffed with a mocking expression on my face.

I knew very well that it was impossible. After all, we were currently each other's competitors, so there was no way he would give all his assets to me.

“As long as you leave Nifty Group and Nicholas, the position of Joyful Success' CEO would be yours!”

Seeing that I still did not believe him, he looked at me angrily. From the seriousness in his tone, it did not seem like he was joking.

My heart skipped a few beats when I met his serious gaze. However, I still couldn't believe that he meant what he said. Is he really intending to let me be the CEO of Joyful Success?

At that moment, all I saw in his eyes was solemnness.

It was impossible for me to not feel touched when a man was willing to give me everything he owned. Besides, he was a man I loved deeply.

However, I forced myself to retract my gaze and reminded myself not to forget what happened one year back just because of his sweet words.

“No matter what you do now, you won't be able to make it up to me. Both of us will never be able to go back to what we were before,” I downcast my eyes and said with a bitter smile on my face.

I was not sure about Michael's intention for wanting me to return to his side, but I was very certain that we would never be the same as before.

“Do you think I should move on? Should I really forget the hurt you caused me one year back? Michael, since you've decided to abandon me back then, why are you asking me to return to your side now?” I asked, trying my best to hold back my tears.

I really could not understand why he did that. If he truly loved me, why did he hurt me back then?

Whenever I thought about what happened one year ago, I could not help but feel a heart-wrenching pain.

Staring into my eyes, Michael remained quiet for a long while before saying, “Do you really think that I abandoned you one year ago? Anna, when did you become so stupid? If I really wanted to leave you, would I need to go overseas?”

The tone of his voice was very somber. Upon hearing his words, my heart did a double somersault.
After I snapped out of my shock, I looked at Michael coldly, certain that he was just fooling around with me.

I looked up at him in shock and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Suddenly, I have a feeling that what happened one year ago was not as simple as it seemed. There must be more than met the eye.

At first, it was extremely difficult for me to believe that he had abandoned me just like that because of how much he loved and doted on me back then.

I refused to believe that the man I trusted wholeheartedly would hurt me so deeply.

“It wasn't me who signed the divorce agreement. Before I left the country, there were a few urgent documents that required my signature. Due to the urgency, I didn't go through the documents before signing. I guess that must be the reason you saw my signature on the divorce agreement,” Michael replied seriously while fixing his gaze on me.

I listened to him attentively, and after hearing what he said, I could feel my heart beating violently. However, I did not fully believe his words.

“If you didn't sign the divorce agreement, why would your father give the document to me and force me to sign it?”

I looked at him in shock and was only able to speak after a long time.

The circumstances surrounding our divorce were indeed rather suspicious. However, I did not dwell on it back then as I was in despair.

After hearing my question, Michael frowned slightly and looked at me as a flicker of hesitation flashed across his eyes.

“It was indeed my father who did that. He was unable to forgive you because of what happened to my mother. As such, he couldn't accept the fact that you were my wife. I guess that was why he took the opportunity to make you sign the divorce agreement when I was abroad.”

Michael had a very serious expression on his face when he said that. I knew that it was hard for him to tell me the truth, and he must have felt terrible too.

Even though I was still in shock, I was fully convinced after hearing the revelation. I could still vividly remember how cruel his father had treated me back then.

It turned out that Michael's father was behind everything, and Michael never intended to abandon me...

That sudden piece of information caused a surge of emotions to rise within me, and my heart was thumping wildly. Although a part of me felt delighted, I also felt aggrieved at the same time.

Over the past year, I had spent almost every day resenting Michael. After knowing that he had nothing to do with our divorce back then, the invisible barrier that I had put up against him was suddenly gone.
