After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395 Stopped Outside

Balling my fists, I watched as the car disappeared into the horizon. I had never panicked as badly as I was at that moment, and never had I ever been so furious as well.

While I despised the Shaw family, I despised Michael even more.

What happened in the past month was only a temporary blissful moment before our relationship came to an end. He told me he was going on a business trip, but I guessed that he was trying to end things with me.

I had underestimated how ruthless the man could be. We had been together for such a long time, and I had never thought that he would do such a cruel thing to me.

Without missing a beat, I hailed a cab and handed the driver all the money I had on me to have him drive me to the Shaw residence as quickly as he could.

After reaching the Shaw residence, a security guard stopped me before I could even enter the premise.

“Let me in! I’m Michael’s wife!” was what I roared at the security guard when he stood in my way.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve received instructions from Mr. Andy not to let you into the place from now on,” the security guard said impassively, ignoring the fact that I was looking daggers at him.

He did not let me in despite my relationship with Michael.

I had been to the Shaw residence many times before, so I was sure that the security guard knew who I was. Hence, the Shaws were definitely the ones who instructed the guard to stop me outside. They had just forcibly taken my child away, and yet, they were forbidding me from entering their residence.

They had told me that I could see my child any time I wanted, but those words from them were nothing but a lie!

“Let me in! I’m going to bring my child home!”

The Shaws did not keep their promise. I had just signed the paper, and almost immediately, they refused to let me see my child. There was no way I was going to let him stay in their residence anymore. It was at that moment I was filled with remorse.

At the same time, I suddenly realized how big of a fool I was. The Shaws were already treating me mercilessly, so I should have known they would not possibly give me the chance to see my child again.

“Ms. Garcia, if you insist on barging in, please don’t blame us if we’re rough with you. I hope you won’t put us in a difficult spot,” said the other security guard in a cold tone.

It seemed like they were not planning to let me into the place at all.

“Please let me in. I want to bring my child away from here. I just want to see my child, and I’ll leave right after that, please?” I pleaded while looking at them.

At that very second, the only thing I wanted was to see my child.

“Ms. Garcia, I’d advise you to leave quickly. You won’t be able to enter this place. If we let you in, I’m afraid we’ll be fired.”

One of the security guards was looking at me with sympathy, but at the end of the day, that was all they could offer to me. They were only employees of the Shaw family. If I were to enter, they would be fired from their post.

To be honest, I was still consoling myself that the Shaws were only treating me in that way because they were still in a temper. I told myself it was because they wanted to teach me a lesson after hurting Josephine. Deep down, I still believed that they would not be that callous toward me.

However, as time passed, I realized how naïve I was. A night had gone by, and the sun had risen to the sky again. Yet, there were still no signs of the Shaws.

I had not eaten nor drunk for an entire day, so the hunger and thirst were starting to sap me of energy. In fact, I could not summon any strength to my limbs at all.

Honestly, I knew that I could not last long waiting outside the Shaw residence like that, but I did not want to give up. I was scared that, once I left, I would miss the opportunity to see my child. That was why I repeatedly told myself that I could not go and had to remain there to see my child.

The sky was gray, and it looked like it was about to rain. Since I did not wear many layers when I came out the day before, I was shivering from the chilliness in the morning of fall.

When the cold breeze blew onto me, I shook like a leaf. Turning to look at the Shaw residence, I still saw no signs of the Shaws. By then, I was convinced that they knew I was right outside and that they were deliberately avoiding me.

Thus, I took out my phone to dial Lincoln’s number. Just as the call went through, he hung up. Refusing to admit defeat so easily, I called him a few more times, but it all ended the same way as the first.

It was then my suspicions were confirmed. When Lincoln declared that I could see my child at any time, he was only saying it so that he could trick me into signing the paper. At that thought, I found Michael’s seemingly kind and caring father to be vile.

The sky darkened even more. Soon, the sounds of thunder began filling the air. I knew it was going to rain, but I had no plans to leave.

“Ms. Garcia, you should really leave now. It’s going to rain soon, and you’ve been here for almost twenty-four hours.”
