Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276 The Arrival Of Josephine

Sitting alone in the living room, I looked at the Doppler ultrasound from the check-up. Although I was only two months pregnant, and there was nothing to see, I was still happy.

Just when I was relishing in my bliss, the doorbell rang. I furrowed my eyebrows and went to open the door.

It was Michael’s mother.

The sight of her caused my heart to sink as a sense of dread began to emanate through my body.

It took me a long while to regain my senses.

Forcing a smile, I greeted politely, “Mrs. Shaw.”

“Ms. Garcia, are you going to make me stand while I talk to you?”

Josephine looked at me with an icy gaze. The annoyance in her tone was obvious enough for me.

In response, I quickly stepped aside and invited her in, “Mrs. Shaw, please come in.”

Josephine Blackwood was Michael’s mother. She would be my mother-in-law if I married Michael. Therefore, as her future daughter-in-law, I had to treat her well.

Josephine frowned at me before sidestepping me to enter the living room.

Standing behind Josephine as if I was a maid, I lowered my head and asked, “Mrs. Shaw, would you like some coffee or tea?”

“Plain water will do,” Josephine replied without even looking in my direction.

“I’ll go get it right away.”

I hurried into the kitchen to get a glass of water and placed it in front of Josephine.

“Mrs. Shaw, please have some water.”

Just as I spoke, I saw Josephine staring at the medical report on the table with a frosty expression.

I was aware that she refused to accept me still. I wondered what when through her mind when she saw the report.

“Do excuse me. I haven’t got the chance to tidy up as I just returned home.”

I quickly collected the reports on the table and put them away. I had never felt so nervous in front of Josephine before.

Prominent families placed a lot of emphasis on their legacies. I wasn’t trying to use my child as a bargaining chip, but I just didn’t want Josephine to object to our relationship anymore.

Anger swelled within Josephine at the mention of the child. She sprang to her feet and fumed, “Are you trying to threaten me with the child? Do you think I have to accept you just because you carry Michael’s baby?”

The sight of her sudden anger caused me to panic. Realizing that she had misinterpreted my words, I quickly explained, “Mrs. Shaw, that wasn’t what I meant. There’s no way I would threaten you. You are Michael’s mother after all. All I want is for you to accept me.”

Josephine was a well-bred woman, but her disdain for me couldn’t be any more obvious. I didn’t know what else I could do to get her to accept me.

“Ms. Garcia, I believe I have made myself very clear. No matter what you say, I won’t change my mind. The Shaw family will take care of your child, but you will never be my daughter-in-law!”

Josephine was adamant in her refusal to accept me. I was sad and angry at the same time. I was mad at myself for begging her. All I wanted was to be together with Michael. But somehow, it just seemed to be a gargantuan task.

“Ms. Garcia, I figure this house doesn’t belong to you. Based on your financial ability, I bet you can’t even afford to pay for the toilet. Obviously, you are clinging to Michael for money. I have seen many gold-diggers like you.”

Scrutinizing the house’s furniture, Josephine turned and looked at me with contempt.

As someone from a rich family, Josephine could easily gauge the furniture’s worth with a glance. Given my salary, there was no way I could afford any of them. Therefore, a single look was enough to tell her that Michael had bought all of them.

Faced with Josephine’s accusations, I had nothing to rebut, even though they weren’t true at all.
