Love from My Dominant Boss Chapter 359
I stayed at Natalieâs house alone. Michael stopped calling or texting me. It was like he had vanished for the following two days. Ever since he left, he never appeared around Natalieâs neighborhood.
I sometimes caught myself thinking if he had already forgotten about me.
Natalie kept me company on the weekend, and we watched television on the couch together. Although we were watching a comedy, I couldnât bring myself to laugh out loud.
Two days ago, I was still angry. However, I felt upset when there was radio silence from Michael in these two days. Maybe Iâm not that important to Michael after all.
Looking at Natalieâs eyes, I knew she was comforting me. However, I couldnât bring myself to do that now. My head was filled with Michael, and I wanted to know what he was thinking.
âMichael didnât come and look for me these two days. He didnât even call or text me. Do you think he has forgotten about me? Natalie, do you think Iâm overestimating my importance to him?â
Peering into Natalieâs eyes, I revealed my doubts to her as I began to panic.
After hearing my words, Natalie paused for a moment. Maybe she was thinking about the same thing as me.
The next moment, Natalie tapped on my shoulder and said nonchalantly, âWhat are you talking about? Michael loves you so much. Of course, you are important to him. He is probably just busy with his company. He is in charge of such a large company. Do you think he is able to call or text you every day?â
Natalieâs words made sense, but I knew she was just coming up with excuses for Michael. Even if heâs busy, does he not have time to rest or eat? Is he so busy that he canât even spare a few minutes of his time to call me?
I smiled bitterly at Natalie and responded, âStop comforting me. You are making me uneasy.â
âIf you are worried, you should be the one who calls Michael instead. Call him and ask him what he wants. You two canât continue to bicker like this. You are still pregnant. Is he really not worried just leaving you here with me?â
After Natalie said that, she grabbed my phone, put it in my hands, and asked me to give Michael a call.
I frowned. I actually wanted to call Michael, but I couldnât bring myself to do it. He is the one who is at fault here. Why should I be the one who calls him? If I call him, doesnât it seem like Iâm in the wrong here?
I then threw my phone onto the couch. I have decided. I would never be the first to call Michael. Even if he never calls me again, I will not be the one who calls him first.
I turned to Natalie and said in a determined tone, âI wonât call him. I refuse to compromise on this matter.â
No matter what happens, Michael has to acknowledge his own mistake.
Looking at my determined expression, Natalie sighed helplessly. âAll right. Donât call him if you donât want to. However, it canât be good for your child if you get emotional. How about we go and take a walk outside?â
Natalie had always respected my decisions. After seeing that I refused to call Michael, Natalie didnât press the issue further. She took another approach and tried to cheer me up.
I was not in the mood for shopping, but I still agreed when I thought about my childâs health.
After getting out of the house, Natalie and I went to the shopping mall nearby. During these two days, Natalie told me that she insisted on being my childâs godmother, and I agreed. She must be taking me to shop for presents for my child.
I was about to turn down her offer because since the child wasnât even born yet, it might still be too early for presents. However, Natalie was a stubborn person. Once she decided on something, there was no changing her mind, so I went along with her plan.
After arriving at the shopping mall, Natalie and I wandered aimlessly as we had no idea what to buy. Natalie was especially troubled as we didnât have any experience buying presents for children.
Natalie grabbed my arm as she looked troubled. âAnna, what do you think I should buy for my godchild? I have no idea ever after browsing for a whole day.â
I gestured at Natalie, not knowing what to buy. âI have no idea too. Itâs my first time getting pregnant, and I have no experience regarding this too.â
Just when we were browsing aimlessly and wondering what to buy, I noticed someone familiar nearby.
I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but after taking a better look at the figure, my heart skipped a beat.
It was Michael. He was at the shopping mall, and a young woman was accompanying him. The woman was grabbing his arm intimately, and they were sharing a laugh.
After seeing that, I panicked. I froze in my tracks as I stared at Michael and the woman.
Natalie looked at me in surprise when I grabbed her. âWhatâs wrong? Why did you suddenly stop moving?â
I didnât answer her. My eyes stared straight ahead and remained fixated on Michael.
Natalie looked at me confusedly and followed my line of sight. When she saw Michael and the pretty woman next to him, she couldnât help but gasp, âWhat is happening? Who is the woman beside Michael?â
My hands balled up into fists when I heard Natalieâs words. My body was quivering as I watched my husband walking and laughing with another woman. It was impossible for me not to let my imagination run wild.
Moreover, Michael didnât call or send me a text message these two days, and I was beginning to panic.
Realizing that she had misspoken, Natalie immediately covered her mouth and looked at me worriedly.
Looking at my pale face, Natalie asked me cautiously, âAnna, are you all right?â
âI-Iâm all right.â
