Chapter 350


    Josephine had no care for my words at all as she red at me with fury in her eyes. At that moment, I


    could sense that Josephine was there to cause trouble.


    At the same time, I was unfamiliar with how married life was supposed to be, not to mention seeing my


    inws. Thus, I was at a loss for words when Josephine said that.


    “Mom, I''m sorry. I had no idea.” Lowering my head, I apologized sincerely.


    She felt that I was at fault as I did not know my responsibilities beforehand. Thus, there was nothing I


    could say when Josephine scolded me.


    “Mom, juste at me if you''re in a bad mood. There''s no need to pick on her. We didn''t visit because


    I didn''t tell her about it.”

    While I was still trying to think of a way to apologize, Michael''s voice emerged from the stairs. He had


    already changed his clothes and such.


    Josephine and I turned toward Michael''s direction when we heard his voice. She was shocked when


    she saw him there.


    “Why didn''t you go to the office today?” asked Josephine with a frown.


    “I just got married yesterday. Do you think it''s right for me to go back to work so soon?” Michael replied


    calmly as he walked toward us.


    “There''s so much to deal with over at the office. As the CEO, are you leaving work just because you got


    married?” questioned Josephine.


    At first, she was a little taken aback, and she nced at me before speaking.


    I knew that even though Josephine seemed as though she was mad at Michael, she was just upset


    with me. She must be thinking that I''m the one who asked Michael not to go to the office.


    “I''m going out of the country with Anna today for our honeymoon. We''ll be back in a month. Mom, take


    good care of yourself in the meantime. I''ve already made arrangements for the things at work. You


    don''t have to worry at all.”


    By the time he finished his sentence, Michael had already arrived beside me. He held me in his arms


    and looked at me dotingly.


    Michael gave such a perfect exnation that even Josephine was rendered speechless.


    “Michael, I''ve barely agreed to let a woman like her marry into the Shaw family, yet you''re bringing her


    on a honeymoon? Are you trying to anger me?”


    Josephine looked at Michael begrudgingly as she pointed her finger at me.


    At the sight of that, I recalled how Michael had been going against his mother for my sake ever since


    we got together. Because of that, I knew that Josephine''s grudge against me had only gotten worse


    over time.


    “Mom, you said it yourself that you''ve agreed to let me marry into the Shaw family. Now that I''m


    Michael''s wife, can''t the two of us go on a trip as husband and wife? You''ve already epted our


    marriage. You''re not going to step in on such a small matter now, are you?” I stated before Michael had


    the chance to say anything.


    I knew that Josephine was targeting me, and there was only so much I could tolerate. Considering that


    she was Michael''s mother, I needed to respect her. However, I did nothing wrong, and I was all out of


    patience.


    Meanwhile, Josephine was stunned by my words as I had always behaved meekly in front of her. It


    took her a moment before she snapped back to her senses. Realizing what I had said, her eyes zed


    with anger as sheined, “Anna, what is that attitude? Are you talking back to me?”


    At that moment, Josephine directed her finger at me and glowered.


    “I''m not. I''m just asking for your permission. Then again, your opinion doesn''t matter. Michael and I had


    already decided to go to the airport in just a bit,” I replied calmly.


    I was not the slightest bit scared of Josephine at all. Although I had never imagined that I would be able


    to go on a honeymoon with Michael, I thought it was only right for me to fight for it now that it was


    coming true.


    At the same time, Michael was surprised when I stood up for myself. Not only was he cool with how I


    spoke to his mother, he even seemed pleased to see me behaving that way.


    “Anna Garcia, do you think you have thest say in this house?”


    Outraged, Josephine grimaced, and the fury raging in her eyes seemed as though she was about to


    reduce me to ashes.


    “Mom, you''re our elder. Of course, you get thest say. Still, I hope you can stay out of our rtionship


    as much as you can. We have our way of living. However, I can promise you that we will be filial. I only


    ask that you could treat me with kindness.”


    I had no intention of fighting with Josephine at all. Regardless, Josephine''s attitude toward me had


    gone on for far too long, and I could not bear with it anymore.


    Josephine trembled with rage at my words, but all of it was the truth.


    “Very well. You have the nerve to talk to me like that now that you think you got my son wrapped


    around your little finger. I will show you who exactly has thest say in the Shaw family!” Josephine


    spat out those words angrily.


    As soon as she finished her statement, she turned and stormed out of the ce.


    I felt a sense of relief when Josephine left. I then held onto Michael''s hand and went to the dining room


    together.


    Michael kept his gaze on me the entire time we ate, and he seemed amused.


    By the time we got on the ne, I still felt surreal about the whole situation. It was as though I was in a


    dream.


    Meanwhile, I noticed that Michael had been quiet since I said those things to Josephine. Feeling


    unsettled, I squirmed in my seat as I said his name while studying his expression.


    “Michael...”


    “Yeah?” Michael answered softly.


    Unable to tell what was on his mind, I got more flustered.


    Despite the awesome feeling I had after saying those things to Josephine, I was worried that Michael


    would be upset at me for speaking to his mother like that. I might not care about what others thought of


    me, but Michael was different. “Are you angry at me? I said those things to Mom—”


    “Do you think I am? I think you were awesome when you fought back,” Michael interjected before I


    could finish my sentence.


    Clearly, my worries were unfounded as Michael smiled at me when he spoke.


    I was relieved to hear those words.


    “Anna, you don''t have to act meekly in front of others from here on out. You''re my woman—not the


    Shaw family''s servant. No matter what, you should speak up confidently. You hear me?” Michael


    dered with no room for rebuttal when he noticed that I was quiet.


    Meanwhile, I was taken aback by his words. Is he telling me that I should stand up to his mother in the


    future?
