After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322 Do You Regret Being With Me

Despite feeling all mushy that Michael chose to defend me then, I was scared that Josephine would abhor me more than ever.

“Do you still consider me your mother, Michael? Do you know that I’m only doing this for your own good? She’ll only hold you back if she stays by your side!”

Josephine glowered at Michael crossly, so incensed that she trembled all over. After all, he had probably never spoken to her in such a tone.

Just when Michael was about to speak further, a booming shout rang out from his grandfather, who was sitting in the center with fury written all over his face.

Following his bellow, the living room instantly plunged into silence. Even Josephine didn’t dare utter a single word further. Meanwhile, I lowered my head in a timid pose.

He liked me very much in the beginning, but the wedding today was marred by my kidnapping, and I even caused Michael to sustain an injury. Thus, I’m not quite sure how he feels about me now. Is he starting to hate me like Josephine?

“Michael was right. Anna is his woman now, so he ought to protect her as a man. That’s his responsibility even if it means his life, much less this paltry injury!

Andy’s remark stunned everyone there, including me. I initially thought that he would be extremely upset with me to see that Michael suffered an injury while saving me since the latter was his only grandson, but that wasn’t the case at all. His words really touched me.

Without a shadow of a doubt, he was siding with me.

However, Josephine instantly got up in arms the moment his words rang out. She jerked her head up and gaped at him in shock, looking all chagrined.

“What are you saying, Dad? Michael is your only grandson! What if something happens to him? How could you say that?”

She looked at him irately. Nevertheless, she was no longer as worked up as when she spoke due to the man’s authority.

“He’s a man, so it’s his responsibility to protect his own woman! If he’s an irresponsible man, then I’d rather not have such an heir!”

Andy had always been a reasonable person. Even after hearing her words, he still regarded her calmly and asserted that coldly.

Josephine wanted to argue further, but she could only swallow the words on the tip of her tongue at the sharp look in his eyes.

Lincoln, on the other hand, had been silent. He didn’t say anything, seemingly maintaining a neutral stance. However, his subsequent comment made me feel that he was inclined toward Michael inwardly.

“All right, that’s enough. Michael isn’t a child anymore. He knows his boundaries, so don’t meddle in his affairs.”

Walking over to her, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and headed upstairs.

After having been chastised by Andy, Josephine kept herself in check regardless of her dissatisfaction with me. Throwing me a chilly look, she then went upstairs.

I couldn’t help feeling miserable as I stared at her disappearing back though she didn’t say anything further in front of Andy, aware that I had brought Michael much trouble.

I hung my head, guilt percolating within me. I even started wondering whether I should really stay with Michael.

“Anna, don’t take her words earlier to heart. Don’t worry, for you’re my granddaughter-in-law as long as I’m alive!” Andy declared firmly, looking right into my eyes.

In that family, he was the only person who supported me being with Michael unconditionally other than Michael himself. My nose stung, and words couldn’t describe how moved I was by his statement.

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

Sniffling, I forced a smile.
