Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 562

Chapter 562 My Promise To You

When Leanne spoke, her voice was choked, and she sounded all pitiful. It was as though she was under coercion back then.

“Regret never makes a difference in this world. Since you chose to take the money and leave Michael back then, you shouldn’t have come back now. Leanne, I’ll never allow you to be with him! Besides, a woman like you isn’t worthy to be my daughter-in-law!” Josephine sneered, not at all moved.

Perhaps she knew Leanne’s true colors all too well, for she didn’t buy her pitiful act. The moment Leanne heard those words, her face abruptly drained of all color, and sorrow crept into her eyes.

Just as she was about to say something further, I could no longer suppress the fury within me and warned her coldly, “Leanne, you should stop while you’re ahead if you have even the slightest bit of shame. Michael and I have already gotten married a long time ago. Don’t tell me you want to be a homewrecker and ruin someone else’s relationship?”

Ugh! I can guarantee that she’s definitely the most shameless woman I’ve ever seen in this whole wide world!

No sooner had I said that than Leanne turned emotional.

Pointing at me, she spat furiously, “So what if I become a homewrecker? Don’t forget that I was the one who got together with Michael first back then, Anna. You were nowhere in sight when we dated at that time. Even when it comes to ruining someone else’s relationship, you’re the one who has ruined our relationship. You’re the third party here!”

Verily, I didn’t expect her to turn around and tear into me instead. I was so livid that I guffawed. How could there be such a shameless woman in this world?

“Leanne, don’t you think you’re really pathetic right now? Michael doesn’t love you anymore. Otherwise, why would you come here and seek me out?”

Leanne only came to look for me because she couldn’t garner any response from Michael.

After all, Michael had already promised me that there would never be another woman for him except me.

“How dare you?”

Having been exposed, Leanne eyed me frostily, but she couldn’t utter a single word in rebuttal.

“Let’s go, Mom. There’s no need to waste time with her here.”

Not in the mood to waste my breath with her anymore, I got into the car with Josephine and sped off.

Leanne stood rooted to the spot, glaring at my car with hatred etched across her features.

After we exited the underground parking, my mood took a nosedive. Although I kept my emotions in check before Leanne just now, I would be lying if I were to claim that I wasn’t bothered at all.

I couldn’t possibly be indifferent when someone wanted to steal my husband away.

“Anna, don’t take that woman’s words to heart. No matter what, I’ll never allow her to be with Michael. Someone like her isn’t worthy to be part of the Shaw family!”

At the mention of Leanne, Josephine wore an expression of disdain. I could tell that she really detested Leanne.

“I know. I also believe that Michael won’t get back together with her and trust that our relationship can’t be simply destroyed by any Tom, Dick, and Harry. But still, I still feel rather perturbed at her words. I’ve

been with Michael for so many years, so what right does she have to appear out of the blue to ruin our relationship?”

As I recalled how Leanne blatantly admitted to her intention, the rage within me sparked to life.

She knows full well that we’re already married, yet she’s not bothered in the least! Instead, she acts as though she’s entirely justified. How is it that there’s such a shameless woman in this world? She wants to ruin someone else’s marriage, but she still thinks that she’s in the right! Does she not care how others would think of her?

“I’ll help you resolve this matter. I definitely won’t allow that woman to bother you both, let alone marry into the Shaw family!”

Josephine immediately comforted me upon hearing that.

I knew that she also loathed Leanne, so I was confident that she would undoubtedly stop that from happening.

“Okay,” I muttered.

Despite having obtained her promise, I was still down in the dumps.

As soon as I arrived back at the Shaw residence, I went straight back to the bedroom sullenly. The instant I recalled the words Leanne said to me earlier in the afternoon, I felt uncontrollably irritated.

When Michael came home and saw me in a huff, he frowned slightly and walked over to me.

“Why do you look as though you’re in a bad mood? Is there a problem at work or something?” he queried mildly.

Then, he sat down beside me and pulled me into his arms. That seemed to have become his habit.

“Leanne came to seek me out today,” I stated coldly as I lifted my head to look at him.

Staring into his eyes, I waited for his reaction.

“Why did she suddenly seek you out? The two of you aren’t close, right?”

Following my remark, Michael’s brows furrowed slightly, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes.

“Can you really not guess why she sought me out when you’re so smart?” I muttered morosely in response to his question.

Considering his intelligence, he has probably long since guessed what she said when she sought me out, huh?

Seeing me looking all vexed, Michael patted me on the shoulder and coaxed, “No matter what she says, you don’t have to pay it any mind. Just ignore her.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“She told me today that you’ll definitely get back together with her.”

Although he was already comforting me, I was still exceedingly aggrieved. The moment I remembered Leanne’s words to me earlier in the day, the wrath within me inexorably sparked to life. I felt that it was already merciful of me that I only gave her a slap just now.

As I gazed at Michael’s handsome countenance, aggravation flooded me. He’s already my man, so why is it that there’s some other woman hoping to ruin our marriage?

“That won’t happen. I’ll only be with you for the rest of my life. I’ll never get back together with her again. This is my responsibility and promise to you!” Michael asserted firmly, hugging me tightly in the circle of his arms.

I was initially still feeling upset, but I felt much better after hearing that.

No matter what she says, it doesn’t matter as long as he doesn’t get back together with her.

I knew how much Michael loved me, so I wasn’t worried that he would really reconcile with Leanne. I was only upset because I didn’t like being threatened by others, much less threatening to steal my husband.

“What if she continues latching on to you and refuses to give up? Even if you’ll never get back together with her, I’ll still be irritated. I don’t want to see her again!”

She’s the person I loathe to see most, and she’s definitely the person I detested most in this world as well!
