Love from My Dominant Boss Chapter 355
I was upset upon hearing Josephine’s words. She has assumed that my child will be a boy, but what if the baby turns out to be a girl instead? Will Mom be disappointed?
“We’ll talk about that again some other time. There’s still time before the baby is born.” Michael glanced at Josephine before changing the subject.
“Mom, the baby might be a girl too.” Suddenly, I lifted my head to look at Josephine after a moment of silence. My voice was softer than usual.
“That won’t happen. Your baby is going to be a boy, and he’ll become the heir of the Shaw family in the future,” Josephine responded swiftly. Her eyes were glimmering with excitement.
For some reason, I had a bad feeling about that upon hearing what Josephine said. My heart sank for a little, but I tried my best to look calm.
“How can you be so sure?” I asked carefully while looking into Josephine’s eyes. How is she so confident with her answer? We haven’t even found out about the baby’s gender yet. Get new chapters update on novelheart.com
“Didn’t you go for your check-up? One of the staff in the hospital called me and told me that your baby is a boy.” Josephine did not try to hide the truth from me. However, I got infuriated upon hearing that.
I tried to suppress the anger in my heart. Meanwhile, Andy and Lincoln were listening to our conversation happily. It seemed like they already knew about it.
I was not surprised to know that they wanted my child to be a boy. After all, most families in upper-class society wanted a male heir to take over everything.
I turned to look at Michael. He was looking at me with an impassive expression. The man was not surprised or angry with Josephine’s response, so I thought he had known about it too.
Suddenly, he flashed a smile at me. Seeing that, I was even more certain that my assumption was right.
No wonder Michael brought me to the hospital. He just wanted to know the gender of our baby.
I felt aggrieved and furious after knowing that Michael had tried to hide the truth from me. However, I did not show it on my face in front of everyone. I lowered my head and continued to eat, but anger began to boil in my chest.
I felt like a fool who had been kept in the dark. Everyone is eager to know the gender of my baby, and that’s why Michael brought me to the hospital. I was in the dark about everything this whole time.
We finished our dinner under the suffocating atmosphere. Then, Michael and I left soon after that.
I remained silent when we were on the way back as I was still angry at Michael for hiding things from me.
“I noticed that there’s a change in my mom’s attitude today. Perhaps you guys can become closer in the future.” A faint smile appeared on Michael’s face while he was driving.
I sneered internally upon hearing that and did not answer him since I was not in the mood to talk.
Michael frowned after a moment of silence. He turned to look at me and asked, “What’s wrong with you? You haven’t been saying anything since just now. Are you not feeling well?”
Usually, I would feel touched by Michael’s concerns. However, I did not feel anything right at the moment. I did not even understand the reason he was nice to me. Is it because our baby is a boy?
“Did you know about this?” I asked with a solemn expression. I had been persuading myself that Josephine was the only one behind this. However, based on Michael’s reaction, I could not help but suspect that he was involved in that too.
“What?” Michael raised a brow, looking puzzled.
“About the baby’s gender,” I said, trying hard to restrain my anger.
Michael did not say anything upon hearing that. Looking at his calm expression, I could tell that he had known about it.
Suddenly, I felt like I had fallen into a trap. I did not believe that Michael would allow his mother to do that. Could it be that he shares the same sentiment with the rest of the Shaws?
“Why? Why didn’t you stop your mother when you knew about her plan? Is the baby’s gender that important?” I took a deep breath as I tried my best to control my sadness.
I did not care about what the others thought. Nonetheless, I could not accept the fact that Michael did not do anything in that situation.
“Is there any problem with that? My mom is beyond happy to find out that your baby is a boy. Hence, she’ll never pick on you again,” Michael replied after a brief pause.
I thought he would at least feel guilty upon hearing my words. Regardless, his reaction made me feel even more upset. So he doesn’t think that his mother is wrong, huh?
“Michael, I don’t understand what’s on your mind. You said your mother is happy to know that our baby is a boy, but have you thought about how she would feel if the baby was a girl? What if she didn’t want us to keep our child?”
Although the doctor had confirmed that my baby was a boy, I was not happy to hear that in the slightest. If our first baby turned out to be a girl, would the Shaw family be disappointed? How would they react? Would they be this happy too?
I was upset with what had happened that day. Perhaps it was because I had grown up in a patriarchal family.
“Didn’t I tell you before? I don’t care about that baby’s gender. As long as the child is yours, I’ll love it with all my heart.” Michael pulled the car over to explain. His expression was serious, and his tone was resolute.
Usually, I would surely be happy to hear that. Unfortunately, anger and disappointment were the only emotions I could feel right then.
“Is that so? If that’s what you were thinking, then you would have never allowed your mother to do such a thing in the first place!” Molten anger poured through me. At that moment, I wished that my baby was a girl.
That was the first time I felt resentment toward the Shaw family. Get new chapters update on novelheart.com
