After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352 Check The Gender Of The Baby

Josephine came to the mansion again that day. When I saw her, an uneasy feeling filled my chest. The last time we met was more than a month ago. It’s unlikely that she will try settling the score for the previous incident now, right?

As I thought of this, worry grew in me.

“You’re here, Mom. Would you like something to drink?” I greeted politely while walking up to her.

“That won’t be necessary. I’m not here for coffee.” Get new chapters update on novelheart.com

Josephine merely shot me a glare. Though she was not as hostile as before, her expression was still unfriendly.

“Is there anything I can help you with, Mom? By the way, Michael’s in the office right now. Why don’t you give him a call?”

Wow, the change in Mom’s attitude is rather drastic. Every time she was here, she would teach me a lesson, yet she’s rather polite today.

“I’m here for you, not Michael.” Josephine then turned to face me. Though her gaze was unfriendly, her tone was better than before.

Did she change because I retorted her last time? If so, it’s a blessing in disguise.

“Why are you here today, Mom?”

I couldn’t wrap my head around the reason for her visit. But it seemed that she wasn’t here to lecture me.

“You’re pregnant for more than four months now, correct?” Josephine asked in a flat tone without the usual hostility.

I was startled when I heard her question. When I regained my senses, I couldn’t help but smile inwardly. It seems that Mom changed her attitude toward me because of the baby.

“Yes, almost five months now,” I replied with a faint smile. Get new chapters update on novelheart.com

At the same time, my eyes were filled with delight, and my hands were caressing my belly.

“Five months means the baby is fully formed. I want you to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow.” Josephine spoke in the same flat voice, but her words thrilled me.

“Okay. I’ll go for a check-up tomorrow.” I couldn’t hide my feelings as I spoke.

Though Josephine was still expressionless, the fact that she came to visit my child made me happy.

“Oh, do give this to the doctor tomorrow as well.”

Josephine then took out a thick envelope from her bag and placed it on the coffee table.

Even though I did not check the envelope’s contents, I was sure that it contained money, and judging by the thickness, I estimated that there were at least twenty thousand inside. As such, I was confused with Josephine’s intention.

Regardless of whether she really wanted to know, I would stand my ground on this no matter what. Though the child was yet to be born, it still deserved to be respected.

“Are you trying to threaten me with Michael? Anna, do you think that just because you have Michael’s support, you can be rude to me?” Josephine was angry that I brought Michael into the conversation. It was clear from her gaze that she was infuriated.

“Mom, that’s not what I meant. I don’t feel it’s necessary to check its gender. After all, regardless of the gender, the child is your grandchild.” Get new chapters update on novelheart.com

Following her gender check demand, I was certain she wanted a grandson. After all, having a baby boy was of utmost importance for aristocratic families. Hence, it was understandable that Josephine wanted a grandson.

Though I expected that, it worried me that she would hate the baby if it was a girl.

“The Shaw family needs an heir, Anna. You might be married to Michael, but don’t expect that you will be Mrs. Shaw forever. If you give birth to a girl, I have ways to force you out of the family.” Josephine immediately jumped to her feet and stared down at me coldly.

From her words, I could sense her eagerness to kick me out of the Shaw family.

Despite being aggrieved because of her words, I didn’t show it on my face. At the end of the day, I was used to all the troubles she brought to me. I was lazy to explain myself too. Also, even though she was Michael’s mother, I couldn’t stand her anymore. My patience was wearing thin.

I raised my head to return her furious stare and stated calmly, “Mom, no matter what you say, I will not go for a gender check. The baby’s health is the only thing I care about now, and I believe that Michael will love the baby as to how I love it regardless of its gender. I also believe that Michael and I will be happy forever, and my happiness will have nothing to do with the baby’s gender.” My tone was steady and firm.

Ever since I got pregnant, Michael had never shown that he wanted a boy. So, this gave me confidence that he would love us regardless of the child’s gender.
