After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 484

In the following days, my mother did not contact me again and mention a single word about the matter, probably because I had made my stance clear in the hospital. The sudden change in her demeanor had gradually put me at ease.

Soon, it was the red-lettered day of Amaury's birthday party. Since I was clueless about whom I should invite, I was more than willing to let the Shaw family be fully in charge of the occasion.

Gazing at my son in my arms, I could not resist wondering how fast time had flown by. It was as though he had turned one in the twinkling of an eye!

Many were invited to attend the birthday party, and most of them were the Shaw family's collaborators in the business industry. In other words, there were hardly any relatives among the guests.

Needless to say, it was an exceptionally grand birthday celebration that reflected the prominence of the Shaw family.

Nevertheless, I was not very particular about how grand the birthday celebration was, as long as I had all of my beloved family alongside me.

I thought I would never cross paths with Nicholas again after leaving Nifty Group. However, it never came to my mind that he would show up during Amaury's birthday party.


At the same time, I was aware of the competition between him and Michael that became more intense after I left the group. In fact, I heard he had poached a few of Michael's clients. On the other hand, Michael had seized a piece of land from him in an auction.

The moment the clients heard about the land falling into Michael's hands, they made up their minds to collaborate with him again. Technically, it seemed like Michael was taking the lead then.

Nevertheless, I was not happy. After all, I still treated Nicholas as a friend. Not to mention, I regretted acting impulsively one year ago before getting to the bottom of the matter.

If only I had waited patiently for two more days at that time for Michael to return, I would not have followed Nicholas overseas. Thus, I could not help but blame myself for causing the two of them to be what they are today because of my impulsiveness.

My gut instinct told me that they were not solely competing with each other in the business industry. Nicholas was actually venting his wrath mainly because I had chosen Michael as my life partner. That explained why the former kept on stirring up troubles for Michael.

Undoubtedly, a strong-willed man like Michael would not easily raise the white flag in the face of his opponents. Prevailed by his possessiveness over me, he could not stand it after sensing that Nicholas had feelings toward me. Even if the latter did not get on his nerves by challenging him, I bet he would not easily let him off the hook too.
In the following days, my mother did not contact me again and mention a single word about the matter, probably because I had made my stance clear in the hospital. The sudden change in her demeanor had gradually put me at ease.

When the latter came into view at the birthday party, Michael's face turned into a scowl in an instant.

At the sight of the sheer hostility when they looked intently into each other's eyes, I felt a prickle of anxiousness. I could not fathom why Nicholas suddenly showed up. He had given me a few calls after I left the company. Nonetheless, I did not pick up any of his calls so Michael would not misunderstand.

In the meantime, Michael headed toward him and uttered coldly, “Why are you here? I don't think I've sent you an invitation!”

“Well, Anna and I are friends. Since she's celebrating her son's birthday, why can't I drop by and join in the fun?” Nicholas replied placidly. He only shot Michael a glance before fixing his gaze on me.
