Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 306 Adamant

Thanks to my parents, the terrible feeling I felt earlier remained even after returning home. It was saddening that the first thing they had to say when they saw me was asking for two million.

Despite already acknowledging that I was insignificant to them a long time ago, seeing them prioritizing money over my happiness was still disheartening.

As if that was not enough, Michael received a call from Josephine as soon as we arrived. Even though she did not say anything other than wanting Michael to head home, I perceived that it must be about the incident at the hotel earlier.

After hanging up the phone, Michael stared at me with an unnatural expression. I knew he was pondering about how to tell me about that call.

“Don’t worry about me. Go ahead.” I smiled at him in response while feigning a look of nonchalance desperately.

Still, needing to hide my true feelings was not only unbearable but also depressing. I believed no woman could face such an incident forthrightly if it happened before their wedding.

“I’ll be back very soon.” Michael curled his lips into a half-smile after my words and planted a kiss on my forehead before leaving.

Following his departure, the smile on my face vanished as I looked toward the door in anguish.
