After marrying my boss (Anna)
Chapter 584

Chapter 584

“You two are really efficient. Didn't expect that you'll be conceiving again so soon,” chuckled Ronanbitterly as he met my gaze.

Having not foreseen this situation when I called Ronan, I began to regret letting him in on this when Isaw his reaction to it.

If he had not quite moved on, my asking for his help in this matter would be tantamount to the rubbingof salt into his wound.

“Uh, if it isn't convenient, I can go wait in queue myself,” avoidant of making eye contact with him, Ihastily uttered these words before I tried to step around him.

Ronan furrowed when he saw me that way and, in an instant, placed himself in my way.

“Come along now. I've already made arrangements prior, so you need only head straight in.”

The subdued smile he wore intimated that he was suppressing his own emotions.

I exhaled haplessly as I felt ill at ease inside. Sincerely, I did not want to hurt him, but no matter what Isaid or how many times I turned him down, his feelings for me had never wavered. That had me deeplymoved, but at the same time, profoundly troubled because my love was reserved for Michael andMichael alone, and could never have reciprocated his affections for me.

Without speaking further, I made my way directly to the examination room. Upon the release of the testresults, I felt that I had wind beneath my wings when the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant.

I wonder how Michael might react in response to this news.

Ronan stayed with me throughout the process and naturally heard everything the doctor said. The stoiclook on his face revealed nothing about what he felt.

In his presence, I refrained from expressing my own joy too overtly, and merely slipped the medicalreport into my bag and strode out ahead of him.

“Thanks for your help today. I'll be making a move first.”

Right now, I could not wait to break the news of my pregnancy to Michael.

“All right then. Take care.” Ronan smiled softly at me and said no more.

“Yeah,” I replied staidly before turning to depart.

I could no longer bottle up that grin on my face after I exited his line of sight, and following that, I drovestraight to Michael's office until I arrived downstairs.

As many people there already knew about the relationship between Michael and myself, I was able toreach the CEO's office unhindered. “You two are really efficient. Didn't expect that you'll be conceiving again so soon,” chuckled Ronanbitterly as he met my gaze. “You two ara raally afficiant. Didn't axpact that you'll ba concaiving again so soon,” chucklad Ronanbittarly as ha mat my gaza.

Having not forasaan this situation whan I callad Ronan, I bagan to ragrat latting him in on this whan Isaw his raaction to it.

If ha had not quita movad on, my asking for his halp in this mattar would ba tantamount to tha rubbingof salt into his wound.

“Uh, if it isn't convaniant, I can go wait in quaua mysalf,” avoidant of making aya contact with him, Ihastily uttarad thasa words bafora I triad to stap around him.

Ronan furrowad whan ha saw ma that way and, in an instant, placad himsalf in my way.

“Coma along now. I'va alraady mada arrangamants prior, so you naad only haad straight in.”

Tha subduad smila ha wora intimatad that ha was supprassing his own amotions.

I axhalad haplassly as I falt ill at aasa insida. Sincaraly, I did not want to hurt him, but no mattar what Isaid or how many timas I turnad him down, his faalings for ma had navar wavarad. That had ma daaplymovad, but at tha sama tima, profoundly troublad bacausa my lova was rasarvad for Michaal andMichaal alona, and could navar hava raciprocatad his affactions for ma.

Without spaaking furthar, I mada my way diractly to tha axamination room. Upon tha ralaasa of tha tastrasults, I falt that I had wind banaath my wings whan tha doctor confirmad that I was pragnant.

I wondar how Michaal might raact in rasponsa to this naws.

Ronan stayad with ma throughout tha procass and naturally haard avarything tha doctor said. Tha stoic

look on his faca ravaalad nothing about what ha falt.

In his prasanca, I rafrainad from axprassing my own joy too ovartly, and maraly slippad tha madicalraport into my bag and stroda out ahaad of him.

“Thanks for your halp today. I'll ba making a mova first.”

Right now, I could not wait to braak tha naws of my pragnancy to Michaal.

“All right than. Taka cara.” Ronan smilad softly at ma and said no mora.

“Yaah,” I rapliad staidly bafora turning to dapart.

I could no longar bottla up that grin on my faca aftar I axitad his lina of sight, and following that, I drovastraight to Michaal's offica until I arrivad downstairs.

As many paopla thara alraady knaw about tha ralationship batwaan Michaal and mysalf, I was abla toraach tha CEO's offica unhindarad.

Michael's sensual and magnetic male voice emanated from the other side of the door when I knocked.

“Come in.”

Pushing my way through, I saw Michael earnestly reviewing a document he had on hand. He did notlook up when I entered.

“What is it?”

His head remained bowed and paid me no heed.

When I saw that he was not paying any attention to me, I cleared my throat before continuing. “Ahem...I came in today to announce something major.”

Perhaps that had the desired effect. In the next second, he lifted his head in surprise. His eyes lit upmomentarily at first when he saw that it was me, and later on, he broke into a furrow.

“What brought you here? Aren't you feeling unwell and resting at home?” Michael stood up and strodetoward me with a look of concern about him.

“I'm here to tell you something important.” I lifted my head to meet his eyes.

“What matter could be so important that it couldn't wait? That you had to make the trip down in spite offeeling sick?”

Michael was less interested in whatever I had to say and more concerned about the state of my health.I could tell that he was really worried.

“This is important enough that I have to break it to you in person. I assure you that you'd also bedelighted when you hear it,” I looked into his eyes and said this excitedly.

“So, what is it?” he asked with his brow slightly arched. Hearing me repeat myself finally rousedMichael's curiosity.

“I've just done a checkup at the hospital. I'm pregnant.”

Producing the medical report I got from the hospital as I spoke, I then brought it before Michael.

His expression froze at the moment of this revelation and regarded me with a look of utterastonishment.

“What's that you say?” Michael looked at me and took some time to process this before he replied.

“I said that I'm conceiving, and this is the test result.”

His mannerisms had me quite tickled as I had never seen him behave this way before.

Michael took the document from my hands and after he reviewed its contents, his face broke into asmile.

Then, he lifted me up and spun me around in situ.

“You're pregnant, and I'm going to be a father for the second time?”

He seemed even more thrilled than I was, and I could tell that he was looking forward to becoming thefather to both of our children.

I allowed him to spin me round and round, and in that instant, I felt extremely blessed.

It was only when a woman truly loved a man that she would experience such joy at carrying hisoffspring.

Only after some time passed did Michael set me back down and carefully caressed my belly.

“I hope that I didn't hurt the baby by getting too carried away. Tell you what, why don't you head onback to rest? I'll go join you at home as soon as I'm done with this bit.” Michael smiled as he regardedmy still-flat stomach.

“I'm not tired. There's no need to get so worked up as I just got pregnant. It's not like I'm about to gointo labor.”

I found Michael's demeanor to be quite hilarious as it was still early days and, as such, no cause forhim to overreact like this.

Although I had been experiencing some morning sickness, there was surely nothing for him to be tooconcerned about.

“Of course, I have to take this seriously. I certainly have to take good care of you because you've gotmy future little princess inside there.”

Placing a hand on my abdomen, Michael regarded me with tremendous joy in his eyes.

I was flabbergasted at how he responded. This man must really be so crazy about having a daughter toautomatically assume that the one in my belly must be a girl this early into my pregnancy.

“How can you be sure that it's a girl? What if it's a boy?” I looked at him and laughed.

“I've got a feeling that she's my lover from a past life. How could I possibly be wrong about that?”Michael's stylish arched brows perked up in affirmation.

Lover from a past life, huh. I had no good retort for that. Did he want to see what his lover from a pastlife looked like? No wonder he wanted a daughter so badly.

“I'll have my secretary send you home. Don't drive since you're now with a child. I don't feel safe aboutit.”

Just a moment ago, he wanted me to head home to rest. Now, he would not even allow me to drive andwanted to have his secretary send me back instead. I was speechless at the level of caution Michaelwas exercising but also overflowing with happiness inside.
