After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 575

Chapter 575 All Your Fault

Staring into Leanne’s eyes, Michael declared earnestly, “Leanne, let me make it clear to you, this child isn’t mine!”

I wasn’t surprised by Michael’s response, for he told me that he had never laid a finger on her before. Consequently, there was no way they could have a child. Instead, I was curious to see how Leanne would react.

Given how scathing Michael’s remarks were, Leanne’s face lost all color. Staggering backward in shock, she looked at Michael with a painful expression.

“Michael, how can you be so cruel to me? Melvin is your son, why do you refuse to acknowledge him? Do you realize he is just a child? No matter what, he is still your son. How can you say something so heartless about the boy?”

Just as she spoke, Leanne’s face grew increasingly pale, while her eyes were glistening with sorrow.

After giving her an indifferent look, Michael stood up and approached her before looking down at her with a frown.

“Leanne, I know with utmost certainty that this child isn’t mine, and so do you. However, why are you doing this?” Michael asked coldly as he stared at her in displeasure.

“Michael, what do you mean by that? Melvin is obviously your child. It’s one thing if you refuse to acknowledge him, but how can you malign me like that? Are you still the Michael that I know? In the past, you would never treat me so heartlessly!”

When Leanne began to behave hysterically, I stared at her with an emotionless expression. At the same time, I wondered what was wrong with her, and what was causing her to insist that the child was Michael’s when he had already denied it.

In fact, I began to suspect if there was more to it than met the eye.

“Leanne, you are well aware that I have never touched you before. Since we have never slept together, where did that child come from?” Michael demanded with a frosty tone as he stared daggers at Leanne.

“Michael, are you saying all these just because Anna is here? How can you claim that nothing happened between us? During my twenty-second birthday, I clearly gave myself to you. Why don’t you dare admit it? Are you not man enough to do so?”

Leanne looked at Michael in disappointment, for she had never expected him to deny their relationship.

From the way things look, Leanne didn’t seem to be pretending at all, causing my suspicions to be aroused. Consequently, I began to question if both of them did sleep with each other and if Melvin was really their child.

After all, there was no reason for her to lie about something like that to Michael at all.

Doubt crept into my mind as I turned to look at Michael. Even though I hoped that Leanne was lying, the sorrow on her face told me otherwise.

Therefore, the matter would be resolved once a paternity test proved that Melvin wasn’t Michael’s son.

Upon hearing my voice, Leanne turned and glowered at me with her bloodshot eyes, as if she was filled with the desire to kill me.

“Anna, this is all your fault! You’re the reason Michael is treating me this way. It must be you who taught him to say all that, isn’t it? You truly are a wicked lady!”

Leanne was brimming with hatred as she pointed her finger at me. The gentle aura she emitted earlier was now overwhelmed by the vicious expression on her face.

Leanne’s reaction had infuriated me. Giving her an icy stare, I retorted, “I’m not. Michael is telling you the truth when he says that Melvin isn’t his!”

Even though I pitied Leanne in my heart, Michael’s explanation had caused me to heave a sigh of relief. After all, there was no way I could accept the fact that he had an illegitimate child.

“That’s impossible. Melvin is Michael’s child. Both of you must have agreed to set me up. Michael, I can’t believe what an irresponsible man you are. Back then, you told me that you would love me for the rest of your life. But now, you end up with someone else. Does your promise to me not mean anything at all?”

My words had obviously fallen on deaf ears. Given that she was stuck in her belief that Melvin was Michael’s child, there was nothing either of us could say to make her see the truth. Evidently, she just wasn’t able to accept it.
