Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 165

Staring at Ronan’s silhouette, Mom frowned before turning her gaze to me. Her eyes were filled with anger and displeasure.

“This is the kind of friends you make? How ridiculously rude!”

“Mom, don’t speak of him that way. He has been taking care of me the entire afternoon.”

 

Hearing Mom berating Ronan, my anger flared up that I defended him. Despite everything, Ronan did take care of me the whole afternoon. I would be lying if I was not blaming Mom for not even checking in with me.

After all, I was not a saint. It would be impossible for me to feel indifferent if my own mother did not love me.

 

“Taking care of you the entire afternoon? What’s going on between you two? Is he your boyfriend?”

At the news of Ronan taking care of me, Mom’s eyebrows knitted even tighter. Her voice became solemn as well.

“No, Mom. We’re just friends. You’re reading too much into it. He’s younger than me. How could he have been my boyfriend?”

Although taken aback by Mom’s sudden accusation, I still answered her truthfully.

“You’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to find someone and settle down. It’s because of the whole fiasco between you and Justin that your father and I still feel humiliated. We can barely look at anyone back home.”

At the mention of my boyfriend, Mom started bringing up the incident with Justin again. She had repeated it so many times that I pretty much had it stored in my memory.

Even so, I still felt hurt every time Mom brought that up. My past with Justin was a deep emotional trauma. Mom’s repeated recollection of the past was a huge disregard of my feelings.
