Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 405 No Future

“I abandoned my child? Why would you say that?” I asked in a mild voice as I stared at Natalie calmly.

“The Shaw family said so when they revealed your disappearance back then. Anna, I don’t believe that you’re such a person. You’re my best friend, and I know you very well. You’d never do such a thing, right?”

Natalie regarded me with anxiety plain on her face. Although she said she believed me, I knew that she was actually very nervous right then.

Meanwhile, my blood ran cold after I heard her words. I never thought that the Shaw family would be so despicable. Lincoln was the one who kicked me out of the family, yet they had the nerve to push all the responsibility onto me later on.

Recalling that I had once lived with that family, I felt a shiver run down my spine. In the past, they were all kind and amiable to me, but I never expected them to be so ruthless. Or perhaps I had been thinking of them too kindly.

“Are you sure it was the Shaw family who said that?” I questioned once more, staring right into Natalie’s eyes.

“Of course. If it weren’t for the Shaw family announcing your disappearance, I wouldn’t have known about it. Anna, will you tell me why you did that? I’m sure you must have a reason for doing so.”

Natalie eyed me apprehensively, her voice taking on a hint of urgency.

Locking gazes with her, I inhaled deeply and suppressed the wrath within me. In a solemn voice, I queried, “Natalie, will you believe me if I say I never did such a thing? That’s my child. Do you think I could bear leaving him?”

She was my best friend. I did not care what others thought of me, but I did not want my best friend to misunderstand me.

Hearing that, Natalie looked into my eyes intently. A long time passed before she nodded firmly. “I trust you. I know you’re a person who cares a lot about relationships, so you’d never abandon your child.”

Her tone was unwavering when she spoke, brimming with conviction toward me.
