After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 210

“I believe you now… I thought you didn’t come home last night because…”

I was going to say he had gotten sick of me and wanted to do it with Emma instead but found myself unable to finish my sentence.

“I’m not really interested in Emma, so I won’t lay a hand on her any time soon.”

The frown on Michael’s face eased up a bit when he saw that I had believed him.

Wait… Did he just say he isn’t interested in Emma? But, she’s his girlfriend! How could he possibly not be interested in her?

“But Emma is your girlfriend, isn’t she? How could you not like her?” I asked after a long pause.

“What makes you think I like her?” Michael asked while staring down at me.

Although he had made it clear that he wasn’t into Emma, him not answering my question directly made me even more curious.

“If you don’t like her, then why is she your girlfriend?”

I didn’t understand why he would date Emma if he didn’t have any feelings for her.

“It’s an arrangement made by my family,” Michael said indifferently.

“Why didn’t you object if you don’t like it?”

I had my own selfish reasons for asking him that question. Regardless of whether we ended up being together in the future, I didn’t want Michael getting intimate with any other women until it was over between us.

“That’s not something you should concern yourself with.”

Michael narrowed his eyes in annoyance and avoided my question once again.

I was a little upset that he didn’t like telling me about his personal life, but I knew better than to push him any further.

While I wasn’t sure of what he actually felt, I was still glad to know he didn’t actually like Emma.

“I’m a little tired, so I’m going to bed after a shower.”

I was on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion after going an entire day without sleep.

Meanwhile, Michael made no attempt to stop me, so I went to take a quick shower before going to bed.

Although he was still unhappy about me spending the entire day outside, he didn’t say anything about it and simply lay down silently next to me.

I was able to fall asleep fairly quickly that night after knowing that he didn’t have sex with Emma while we were still together.

I didn’t know if it had anything to do with what I said to him, but Michael had been coming home on time every night throughout the next couple of days. Even on the days where he had to attend social events, he would still try his best to make it home as early as possible.

One day, Michael was reading his books on finance while I was preparing dinner, and his phone rang all of a sudden.

He closed his book and furrowed his brows when he saw the name on the caller ID.

I stole glances at him during dinner to observe his facial expressions and saw that he had a completely indifferent look the whole time. It was as if the phone call with Emma didn’t happen at all.

I wasn’t really sure what to say to him, and things got a little awkward for the both of us.

“You seem to be treating her rather coldly,” I mumbled and quickly lowered my gaze as I continued eating.

Michael stared right at me and asked, “What? Do you want me to shower her with affection instead?”

Of course not!

But of course, I didn’t dare show my real emotions in front of him.

“Unless I like someone, I won’t show them any affection nor waste my time on them.”

Michael spoke up once again, and I shuddered a little when I heard what he said.

If he doesn’t want to waste his time on Emma because he doesn’t like her, then… What about me? He’s coming over to be with me every night! Does that mean he likes me?

“I’ve just realized how heartless of a man you are,” I said after a long pause.

Michael arched an eyebrow slightly in response. “Is that so?”

As much as I hated Emma, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her as I knew she truly liked Michael even though he didn’t feel the same.
