Anne suddenly stopped. She could practically feel Cherry stare daggers at her.
What did Kevin want? How could he let her go?
Anne turned slowly to look at Kevin. She felt like weeping but had no tears.
"I'm a little tired and I need to lie down. What can I do for you, Mr. Kevin?"
Anne tried her best to sound calm. She also didn't want to look guilty. That might make Cherry think that there was really something between her and Kevin.
"From now on, don't avoid me when seeing me. Do you hear me?" Kevin strode over to Anne and looked down at her with his dashing eyebrows askew. He looked domineering.
She couldn't do anything other than try to recover from him berating her.
She was left speechless by his overbearing manner. This man always misbehaved around her.
Cherry was still here. Wasn't he afraid that his sweetheart would be sad? Didn't he care about Cherry the most?
"Are you deaf? Did you hear what I said?" Kevin growled. Unable to get a satisfactory answer, he responded the way he usually did, anger reflected in his black eyes.
"Well... I heard you..." Anne answered quickly, frightened by Kevin's behavior.
"Good girl."
With a smug smile, Kevin patted Anne's head like he might pat a puppy's. "It's getting late. Go back to the villa and get some rest."
Being touched like a pet, Anne was a little annoyed. She rolled her eyes at Kevin, turned, and left quickly.
Watching her leave, Kevin didn't even know his eyes showed tenderness.
Behind him, Cherry's temples throbbed with hatred, and her vicious gaze followed Anne into the living room.
She walked up to Kevin and looked at him with those lost puppy dog eyes. She was trying for that look, hoping to manipulate him.
"Kevin, why did you kiss Anne? Do you love her?" She looked at him with a pained expression.
Kevin turned to look at her. "No, but I find her fascinating," he said calmly.
Kevin was never good at disguising himself, nor did he sugarcoat the truth to please a woman.
"Okay, then what are you planning? What happens after the baby's born? What about me?"
Tears like a broken line of beads streamed down her cheeks. She looked so pitiful.
"I'm just interested in her. A woman like her won't tie me down for the rest of my life," Kevin said with disdain.
He was just possessive of Anne. When his interest in her faded, he would let her go.
"But Kevin, have you ever thought about my feelings? I'm really sad to see you care so much about Anne." Tears streamed down Cherry's cheeks. She could barely move. Her limbs felt like lead.
"Don't be so narrow-minded. Aren't you supposed to be kind-hearted and open-minded?" Kevin wiped the tears from her face.
"Not really. Not when it comes to love, anyway. I know Anne hates how intimate I am with you, but I can't help it. And I'm also jealous when I see you get so close to Anne."
"Don't worry. I'm only interested in her for the time being. You're always the woman I love most," Kevin said gently, holding her hand.
Seeing the way Kevin acted around Anne, Cherry was nervous about her future with him.
His nonchalant attitude did little to reassure her. When she was about to say something, she was interrupted.
"Cherry, it's getting late. Get some rest. Don't worry. I know what to do!" After saying that, Kevin held Cherry's hand and walked towards the living room, giving her no chance to speak.
At first, Cherry had a lot to say, but her words were stuck in her throat. Seeing that Kevin didn't care about it, she was more determined to make Anne stay away from Kevin.
Anne went back to her room, thoroughly frozen from the wind she stood in for hours. As soon as she got in, she took a hot shower.
She stretched herself tiredly, wrapped her wet hair in a towel, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Ah!"
As soon as she opened the bathroom door, she was startled by the sudden appearance of a person at the door.
After the initial shock, she calmed down and looked at Kevin vigilantly.
"It's so late. Why aren't you in bed?"
"Why are you so surprised? It seems that you don't want to see me at all."
As he saw no other expression on her face except shock, Kevin's eyes darkened and displeasure welled in his heart.
"No, it's okay..." Knowing that Kevin's long face was a prelude to a storm, Anne tried to calm him down.
"Really?" Raising his eyebrows, Kevin couldn't believe it.
"Yes, I'm telling the truth." This man was temperamental. She was really worried if she said something wrong, he would lose his temper again.
