After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504 Relax

I looked at Michael in such a suggestive manner that it gave me goosebumps.

For the past few days, I had been rejecting Michael when he approached me for sex because I had not been in the mood for it. Although he did not say anything, I knew he must be frustrated. Therefore, I intended to make it up to him that night.

I might not feel like it, but it did not give me the right to ignore my husband’s physical needs.

“Anna, can you please stop talking to me in this manner? I cannot take it!”

Initially, I had thought that my suggestive tone might excite Michael. On the contrary, he looked at me in disdain.

That was the first time Michael had ever rejected my advances in bed. I was both surprised and unhappy. After going all out to please him, he actually told me that I was disgusting. That was too much.

“Well, it’s fine if you aren’t interested. I can’t be bothered anyway.”

I rolled my eyes at Michael and looked away.

Seeing that I was not happy, Michael raised his brows slightly and said, “I’m interested! Of course, I am! It’s so rare for you to take the initiative. Why would I turn you down? But, you are the one who told me to relax tonight. I hope you don’t complain about being too exhausted later on.”

Naturally, I knew what he meant. He had always had endless energy when it came to sex. I was fully aware of that. Please don’t tell me that he…

The thought of him going on in bed with no end in sight made me nervous. I was starting to regret enticing him. It felt as if I had dug a hole and jumped into it on my own.

I sat upright and tried to ignore what Michael had said. The change in the topic had distracted me even if it was only for a while.

Just as Michael’s car turned out of my office building, I saw a familiar figure standing by the side of the road. Alicia was in a pretty dress and exuded an air of elegant nobility, but her face was pale and haggard.

Her car was parked not far away, but she was standing on the pavement. When Michael’s car came out, she turned to look.

Separated by the car window, I had no idea if she could see me, but I became nervous nonetheless for I knew very well why she was there.

Earlier on, my mood brightened up a little. However, the sight of her standing under the searing sun made me feel depressed. I would be lying if I said I was not heartbroken to see her in that state.

I looked away for fear of losing control over my emotions.

Michael noticed her too. He frowned and asked, “Do you want to say hi to her?”

He was simply asking a question.

“No need. There’s nothing for us to talk about.”

I turned down his offer without hesitation. In truth, I would not know what to say to her. I had made it clear that I had no intention of forgiving or acknowledging her.

Finally, I declared my stand on this matter. However, I did not know what might happen between Alicia and me in the future. In the meantime, I just could not accept it for now.

“Fine. Since you can’t accept it, then don’t see her anymore. If you bump into her again, just treat her as a stranger,” said Michael indulgently.

He reached out to hold my hand.

With Michael’s support, I felt so much better. It did not matter what my decision would be. I would not be at a loss knowing that he had my back.

Seeing that I had been feeling down lately, Josephine had gotten the housekeeper to prepare the food that I liked every day. That day, Josephine grabbed hold of me and wanted to drag me into the kitchen the moment I walked in.

“Mom, why have you brought me into the kitchen? It isn’t time to have dinner yet.”

Before I could even sit down, Josephine had pulled me into the kitchen.

“I got the housekeeper to prepare some nutritious soup for you. You have lost weight recently. It’s time to take care of yourself. I’ll scoop a bowl of soup for you. Drink some.”

As Josephine was talking, she placed the bowl of soup in front of me.

Looking at the soup, I was touched nevertheless.
