Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 402 His Sudden Appearance

“All right, then. In that case, go home and rest earlier. See you tomorrow.”

Upon hearing my rejection, Nicholas did not insist. His voice remained as gentle as ever.

“Bye!”

Having said that, I hung up the phone.

For some reason, I felt irritable. Then, I hailed a taxi and went back to my apartment.

In the past, I probably could not even afford a house. However, after my hard work in the past year, I was no longer the same person. My income alone was a few times better than it was back then.

I lay sprawled on the couch in the living room, feeling so exhausted that I did not feel like moving at all.

I remained there for a long time before getting up and going to the bathroom for a bath.

As I soaked in the bathtub, it was still Michael’s face that popped up in my mind. Even at that very moment, the exhilaration in his eyes when he first saw me earlier remained vivid in my mind. I could not tell whether he faked that reaction or if he truly regretted his actions from a year ago.

Anna Garcia, don’t forget what the Shaw family did to you a year ago! Do not be bound by your feelings again!

Right then, a voice in my mind kept blaring a reminder. Those were the words I said to myself whenever I felt my resolve faltering in the past year.

Every time I thought of having to part with my child, never once laying eyes on him ever since he was a month old until then, the resentment within me snowballed.

At that precise moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. I frowned in mystification, at a loss as to who would be at my door right then. It was my second day back in the country, so no one knew I lived there.
