Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 549

Chapter 549 This Relationship Is Over

“All right, I will take better care of myself.” Not wanting anyone from the Shaw family to know what had happened between the two of us, I tried my best to hide my emotions.

“Come on, eat up and get some rest in your room. Since you’re not feeling well, you should take the day off. Wouldn’t want you collapsing from exhaustion in the office!” Josephine said while handing me a sandwich. As I didn’t feel like saying anything, I simply kept quiet and continued eating in silence.

“Where’s Michael? I haven’t seen him at all! Where did he run off to so early in the morning?” Andy asked all of a sudden while staring coldly at me.

I felt a little upset hearing his words, but I forced myself to look at him calmly as I replied, “He left to take care of something last night and hasn’t come home since. I have no idea where he is right now.”

Just thinking about Michael possibly being with another woman at the moment felt unimaginably painful, but I couldn’t afford to show it in front of them.

Andy slammed his fork down on the table and shouted angrily, “He sure is getting out of hand lately! He stayed out all night the day before, and he went out again last night? What on earth could he possibly be doing?”

Oh dear, I’m the one who should be feeling upset here…

I simply lowered my head and kept quiet at the thought of that.

“Calm down, Dad. Let’s just ask him about this when he gets back,” Josephine comforted Andy when she saw how mad he was.

“Honestly, I don’t know what he’s so busy with! I haven’t seen him around in two days now! Does he even have any respect for me at all?”

Andy was still angry even after Josephine tried to calm him down.

Suddenly, Michael opened the door and came into the house. Everyone, including myself, shifted our gaze toward him the moment he showed up.

I felt my eyes tearing up when I recalled him spending the night with another woman.

“I’m surprised you even bother coming home! Look at the time, Michael! Where have you been last night? What were you doing?” Andy started questioning him even before he could sit down at the table.

Unfazed by his anger, Michael took his coat off and sat down beside me as he replied calmly, “I had to take care of something urgent last night. It kept me busy until now.”

“What was so urgent that you had to stay out all night? This isn’t the first time it has happened. What has gotten into you lately?”

Andy shifted his gaze back toward me when he said that. He had always been a sharp person, so he must’ve noticed something was amiss from the look in my eyes.

Unhappy with being questioned, Michael looked up at Andy and protested with a frown, “I’m an adult now, Grandpa. I don’t think I have to report every single thing to you, do I?”

“Michael!”

Andy was about to say something, but Michael’s cold attitude upset me so much that I went upstairs without a word.

I didn’t feel like talking to Michael at the moment because of how distant he felt.

I plopped myself onto the bed after returning to my room. My mind was in a mess, and I had no idea what I should do. I couldn’t figure out what went wrong in our relationship that resulted in Michael changing so much all of a sudden.

Michael opened the room door and came in shortly after. As I didn’t feel like talking to him, I closed my eyes and turned the other way.

“What’s the matter? Are you in a bad mood?” Michael asked gently as he sat down on the bed and pulled me into his arms.

Under normal circumstances, him talking to me like this would always fill my heart with happiness. However, the only thing I felt at the time was disgust.

He was with another woman last night! They probably did something really intimate while they were together! With that in mind, I squirmed my way out of his embrace and kept my distance from him. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What’s gotten into you?”

Michael frowned in dissatisfaction when he saw how I responded.

“Where have you been last night? Who were you with?” I asked in a questioning tone as I sat up straight and stared him in the eye.

I realized my tone was somewhat cold, but I couldn’t help it. I had to get to the bottom of things and find out what he truly felt.

Michael simply frowned at me hesitantly without saying a word after hearing my questions.

The fact that he refused to explain himself upset me even further. Unsatisfied with his response, I maintained eye contact as I pressed on, “Why won’t you answer me? You’ve been staying out at night

for two days now! Don’t you think you ought to give me an explanation?”

“Why would you ask me such a thing? Don’t you trust me? Given the nature of our relationship, it should be obvious that I have my reasons for not telling you,” Michael replied coldly after a moment of silence.

“So, you won’t tell me, huh? Well, fine! I’ll say it, then! You went to the hospital with a woman last night! I bet you were with that woman too when you stayed out the night before, weren’t you?” I replied with a bitter smile as my tears began to roll down my cheeks.

I had never felt so upset my entire life.

“How did you know?” Michael asked while staring at me with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

“Why? Are you afraid of me finding out?” I let out a wry chuckle and flashed him a look of disappointment as I continued, “You know, I never thought we would have such problems in our relationship. Perhaps, I might’ve overestimated how much I mean to you.”

Up until then, I had always believed that Michael was the only person in the world who would never betray me. However, the events in the past two days proved me wrong and hurt me beyond imagination.

As my vision got blurry from the tears, Michael quickly ran forward and pulled me into his arms.

“What on earth are you thinking?” I could hear his heartache in his gentle voice.

“Haven’t I made myself clear enough? Michael, this relationship of ours will be over if you are cheating on me.”
