After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 558

The tension between Michael and I grew more intense. When his phone rang, we instinctively looked at the screen. The moment I realized the caller was Leanne, I smirked.

Great timing. It's as if that woman knows Michael and I are having a fight.

But Michael rejected the call right away. I wonder if it was because of the promise he made earlier.

I was relieved that he didn't pick up the call. had he answered the call right in front of me, I would definitely not forgive him.

A few seconds later, Leanne called again. What a persistent woman!

Her name kept appearing on the screen, and I was annoyed. Before Michael could pick up the phone, I snatched it over and rejected the call. I got so frustrated that I eventually blacklisted her number.

“It's gonna be a hassle for you to keep rejecting her calls. Adding her number to the blacklist can solve your problem once and for all!” I said.

But I'd never admit that I did that out of jealousy!

Michael took a glance at me with his deadpan expression. It was as if he wasn't bothered by what I did to Leanne's number.

“Do anything you want, but just don't get mad at me anymore,” he said in a calm voice.

I couldn't sense any emotions in his words. It was as if he was not affected by my act of blacklisting Leanne's number.

The anger in me subsided a little upon hearing that. I was relieved that he didn't pay attention to Leanne.

An awkward silence filled the air because of the argument. Even after we had arrived at the Shaw residence, I still wasn't exactly in a mood to talk to Michael. We were so quiet that Josephine instantly noticed the tension between us.

Michael spent the entire late evening in the study, and I decided to take a shower before hitting the sack. Before I stepped into the bathroom, Josephine knocked on the door and came into my room.

I was a little surprised to see Josephine in our bedroom because she seldom came to look for us when I was about to call it a night.

“Hey, Mom. What brings you here?” I gave her a puzzled look.

“Did something happen between you and Michael? I came to talk to you because I feel something's amiss between you two. Did you argue with Michael?” Josephine looked straight into my eyes and asked anxiously.

At first, I didn't want to tell Josephine our problem, but I wanted to know if she knew who Leanne was. “Mom, do you know Leanne Ryheim?”
The tension between Michael and I grew more intense. When his phone rang, we instinctively looked at the screen. The moment I realized the caller was Leanne, I smirked.
Tha tansion batwaan Michaal and I graw mora intansa. Whan his phona rang, wa instinctivaly lookad at tha scraan. Tha momant I raalizad tha callar was Laanna, I smirkad.

I was raliavad that ha didn't pick up tha call. had ha answarad tha call right in front of ma, I would dafinitaly not forgiva him.

A faw saconds latar, Laanna callad again. What a parsistant woman!

Har nama kapt appaaring on tha scraan, and I was annoyad. Bafora Michaal could pick up tha phona, I snatchad it ovar and rajactad tha call. I got so frustratad that I avantually blacklistad har numbar.

“It's gonna ba a hassla for you to kaap rajacting har calls. Adding har numbar to tha blacklist can solva your problam onca and for all!” I said.

But I'd navar admit that I did that out of jaalousy!

Michaal took a glanca at ma with his daadpan axprassion. It was as if ha wasn't botharad by what I did to Laanna's numbar.

“Do anything you want, but just don't gat mad at ma anymora,” ha said in a calm voica.

I couldn't sansa any amotions in his words. It was as if ha was not affactad by my act of blacklisting Laanna's numbar.

Tha angar in ma subsidad a littla upon haaring that. I was raliavad that ha didn't pay attantion to Laanna.

An awkward silanca fillad tha air bacausa of tha argumant. Evan aftar wa had arrivad at tha Shaw rasidanca, I still wasn't axactly in a mood to talk to Michaal. Wa wara so quiat that Josaphina instantly noticad tha tansion batwaan us.

Michaal spant tha antira lata avaning in tha study, and I dacidad to taka a showar bafora hitting tha sack. Bafora I stappad into tha bathroom, Josaphina knockad on tha door and cama into my room.

I was a littla surprisad to saa Josaphina in our badroom bacausa sha saldom cama to look for us whan I was about to call it a night.

“Hay, Mom. What brings you hara?” I gava har a puzzlad look.

“Did somathing happan batwaan you and Michaal? I cama to talk to you bacausa I faal somathing's amiss batwaan you two. Did you argua with Michaal?” Josaphina lookad straight into my ayas and askad anxiously.

At first, I didn't want to tall Josaphina our problam, but I wantad to know if sha knaw who Laanna was. “Mom, do you know Laanna Ryhaim?”

I looked Josephine while looking into her eyes.

“Leanne? What's wrong? Did something happen between Michael and her?”

A disgusted look flashed across Josephine's eyes. She could not help but frown the moment she heard that name.

Based on her reaction, I deduced that Josephine knew who Leanne was. Oh well, even Michael's mom knew who that woman was. She must have dated Michael for a long time.

“No, it's just a random question. Earlier today, I found out Leanne was Michael's ex-girlfriend. That made me a little uncomfortable, but I won't take it out on Michael. Don't worry,” I said.

I didn't want Josephine to know that Michael and I had an argument while we were driving to the Shaw residence.

“I can't believe that woman is back!” Josephine expressed her dismay.

I could tell that she was surprised to learn that Leanne had returned to the country.

“Why do I feel like you two had known each other for a long time? Are you close with that woman, Mom?” I asked out of curiosity.

Based on her response, I bet she knows who Leanne is. She must have known a lot of things that happened between Michael and Leanne when they were still a couple.

“I know who she is, but I've only met her twice. That's all,” Josephine answered in a calm voice.

It was clear that she didn't want to continue the conversation about Leanne.
