My Bossy CEO Husband

Anson was trying his very best to calm Josie down, but nothing seemed to do the trick.

She slapped off his hand and growled, "Don't touch me! You don't know what you are talking about.You are just as crazy as your son.He is completely obsessed with that woman! Luke has always been reckless and you know it.He has never listened to anyone except Ryan, ever since he was little.He will always take his brother's word over ours! Now that Ryan thinks he is in love with that woman, what do you expect Luke to do? Actually, can't Luke see reason for once and tell his brother that she is not good enough for him?"

Anson just stared at her in silence.

‘My God! This woman can use the stupidest arguments when she wants things to go her way, ' he thought, fighting the urge to roll his eyes at her.  He sighed and tried a different tactic.

"What do you think we should do, then?"

"Make sure Ryan never sees that woman again."

"You know that won't be easy." Josie turned to face him fully, offering him a poisonous glare.

"You are supposed to be here to help find a solution to our problem.Not to crap on every single one of my suggestions."

"I am trying to help.Just think about it for a second, keeping in mind that it's Ryan we are talking about.He's always been  fiercely independent, even as a little kid.When he got it in his head to do something, nobody could stand in his way! Besides, he is thirty years old.He has finally fallen in love with a woman and you ask him to give her up? What if he had never found love at all ever again? Wouldn't that be even worse?"

But Josie was quick to reply, "Well, if he fell in love with Wendy now, he would be able to fall for some other woman too.If he let go of his obsession with that woman, it will be a matter of time before he finds someone to love.I could even help him find a woman worthy of him."

"Josie, he is turning thirty this year.And this is the first time he has ever fallen in love.If he gives up on his happiness now, he could have to wait until he is sixty before it happens again!"  

"You are being ridiculous!" Josie replied stubbornly.

Anson looked around helplessly.

"It's his business, his choice, and his life.Stop worrying so much about him and, for God's sake, let him make his own decisions."

"Absolutely not! I would die before I allowed an actress to marry into the Oliver family!"  "Is she still refusing to eat?" Josie asked a maid later that day.

The maid nodded solemnly.She still held the tray, which held several plates with food that had been microwaved one too many times already.

"Ma'am, Miss Precious has locked herself in her room since she returned this morning.And she only ate half a bowl of porridge for breakfast.Normally, she should be starving by now."

At the maid's words, Josie started feeling anxious.

“Food had always been Precious's passion.No matter how angry or sad she was, a plate of delicious food was all it took to cheer her up.Why isn't it working this time?  This can't go on.She will make herself sick if she keeps this up, ‘' Josie thought to herself.

She marched to the little girl's bedroom and knocked three times on the door, "Precious! It's Grandma.Please come out and join us for lunch.I made sure we have your favorite today.Braised pork and pork ribs with barbecue sauce! Mm! It smells heavenly.Why don't you come out and try some?"

"No! I want to see Auntie Wendy and Ray.Until you let me meet them, I won't eat anything!"
