Love from My Dominant Boss - Season 3 Episode 80

“Look, a lot of time has passed since everything that happened. There is no need for you to apologize, and I don’t want your apology either. Also, I hope you’ll stop contacting me from now on,” I said coldly as Justin could no longer touch my heart.

Not wanting to give him a chance to say anything further, I hung up on him immediately after.

Being betrayed hurt me so much that I felt like I couldn’t go on, but thinking back made me realize I wouldn’t have met Michael if not for his betrayal.

I once thought that Justin was the man I loved the most in life, but I was wrong as I only learned what true love meant after meeting Michael.

Although I no longer had any feelings for Justin whatsoever, getting his call all of a sudden still worsened my mood greatly because he had hurt me the most in life.

Having spent the whole morning at home, I felt like I was going to die from boredom and decided to go shopping with Natalie in the afternoon.

I then gave her a call and went downstairs after agreeing on a time to meet up, only to bump into Justin when I arrived at the entrance of my residential area.

I didn’t know the reason behind his surprise visit here at Birchwood, but I didn’t even want to see him at all.

“Anna!”

I was about to head back home when he saw me and began running toward me while shouting my name.

Pretending not to see him was no longer an option as he had already spotted me, so I stopped in my tracks and turned around to stare coldly at him.

“I’ve been waiting here since morning, Anna! I’m so glad I get to see you!” Justin exclaimed as he stepped up to me.

He looked like a stranger longing to be close, but all I felt was an urge to get away from him as quickly as possible.

“Why did you wait here? I’ve made myself very clear on the phone earlier, Justin. I don’t need your apology.”

The mere thought of his phone call earlier got me all agitated because I didn’t want to have any form of contact with him.

Justin seemed a little upset when he saw how cold I was. He said after a long pause, “I know I’ve hurt you deeply in the past, and it’s perfectly justifiable for you to hate me, but I still want to apologize anyway.”

The look in Justin’s eyes was gentle like when we used to be madly in love with each other. It used to make me excited for days on end, but it no longer had any effect on me.

“I accept your apology, and I’ll be on my way now that you’re done with it.”

I didn’t want to waste any more time and energy on him as I still had a shopping date with Natalie later.

Justin then blocked my path and asked with a pained look on his face, “Do you still hate me, Anna?”

Displeased by him standing in my way, I said, “You’re overthinking it. I’ve long since gotten past that phase of hating you.”

“Really? You don’t hate me for hurting you so deeply back then?”

Justin looked at me with a mix of surprise and doubt on his face.

“Anything else, Justin? I’ve made plans, and I really need to go now!”

All I wanted was to stop wasting any more time and get out of there.

“Let’s have lunch together, Anna.”

The fact that Justin was treating me to lunch seemed really suspicious, so I rejected him instinctively.

“No, thanks. With the way things are between us right now, it’s hardly appropriate for us to have lunch together. Also, please refrain from coming to see me here in the future because I don’t want my boyfriend to get the wrong idea.”

Given how petty and possessive Michael was, he would surely get mad if he saw me still in contact with my ex-boyfriend.

At that moment, the only thing I wanted was to be with Michael and avoid unnecessary trouble if possible.

Despite me making myself crystal clear, Justin stubbornly refused to give up.

“Anna, do you really not know why I came to see you?” he shouted desperately from behind when he saw me walk away.

“Why?”

See? I knew there was more to it! There’s no way he’d come here just to apologize! I stopped in my tracks and glared at him.

“Anna, I know what I’m about to say will make me sound like an absolute scumbag, but… I want to say it anyway.” Justin looked me in the eye with a serious expression. “I was misguided, and I wronged you in the past, but I realized after breaking up that you are the one I truly love. Every night throughout the past six months, I’ve been dreaming about you and the happy moments we shared. Anna, I have come to seek your forgiveness and get back together with you.”

I stared wide-eyed at Justin as I wasn’t expecting him to talk about getting back together.

However, I didn’t really feel anything because I stopped loving him a long time ago.

I kept quiet and simply looked at him indifferently.

“Anna, what happened in the past was all my fault, and I realize that now. I also realized that you’re the one I love, so will you please forgive me and give me another chance?”

Justin walked up to me and held my hand tightly as he said that, but nothing could possibly change my mind about how I felt toward him at that point.

I pulled my hand out of his grip and shot him a cold glare in response.

“We’re over, Justin. I’m never getting back together with you, so you should just forget about it.”

This man had betrayed me, and I wasn’t about to put up with his betrayal like that.

No amount of sincerity could touch my heart if I no longer had any feelings for him.

My tone was cold, and I gave him no room for negotiation. Justin was so taken aback that he froze for a moment before breaking into a grimace.

He probably didn’t expect me to be so cold toward him at our reunion. He was staring at me with an upset look in his eyes.
