"Kevin, what on earth you want me to do so that I can see my child? I am the mother of this child! You've gone way too far now!"
As her voice shook, Anne tried her best to control her emotions. However, it was just impossible to keep her anger in.
"I've gone too far? Do you even hear what you're saying right now? How dare you speak like that to me!"
The only reason this was happening was because he wanted her to come back to him as soon as possible. Of course, Anne didn't know it at that time. 'Damn it! This darn woman doesn't know me at all!'
Never in his life had he wanted a woman as much as he wanted Anne. It frustrated him that he had failed again and again to bring her back into his life. How could a man as arrogant as he was accept defeat like that?
All of the other women desperately wanted to be around him. Because of this, it made it hard for him to understand why Anne didn't want him. What was more, she constantly challenged his patience all the time.
"Kevin, please let me have a look at the baby. Just one look..."
Softening her voice, she figured that it was better it she kept her cool and tried to gently persuade him. Right now, there was nothing she wanted more than to see her child.
This sudden change of attitude left him stunned for a moment. He almost wanted to say yes to her, but when he thought about her unwillingness again to come back to him, the anger came surging back up at his heart.
"I will ask my secretary to bring your luggage. From this day on, you'll be living with me."
With a scoff, Kevin turned around and went upstairs, not bothering to wait for Anne's reply.
A bitter frown appeared on her lips. Not only was she not allowed to see her baby, but now she was forced to stay here! Things could not have gotten any worse at this point.
"I'm not staying here, Kevin! I want to leave!"
With long strides, she quickly caught up to him, her voice booming with anger. Why couldn't this man let her go? There was no way to control all the fury bottled up inside of her.
They were supposed to be out of each other's hair by now. Both of them had their own lives to live. Frustrated and helpless, she was so fed up with Kevin trying to mess up her life.
"It's not up to you whether you live here or not. I've made my decision."
Kevin stopped and stared at Anne with his dark and deep eyes. His voice was as menacing as his stare.
How could this man be so domineering? It was as if he had no empathy at all!
"You bastard! Will you stop it and think about other people before you think about yourself?! You always think you know what's best for everyone, but you don't!"
She gritted her teeth as she held back the tears brimming in her eyes. Even though she knew she could no longer change his mind, she had to try.
'Bastard? This woman... How dare she curse me! Who does she think she is?!'
"I dare you to say that to me again."
'If she dares say anything like that again, I swear I'll drag her into bed whether she likes it or not! I'll show her what a real bastard I can be!'
When Anne was about to repeat what she thought of him, she saw the anger flickering in his eyes. Her heart trembled in fear.
Feeling the aura he emanated, she knew that he would do something rash if she tried to push his limits even more. Despite this, she was not willing to be controlled and stepped on like this.
"Please," Anne said in a soft voice. "Just let me have a look at the baby. I promise I won't make you angry again, okay?"
Looking up at him, she tried to look as pitiful as possible, hoping that maybe he would finally feel sorry for her.
It worked, and Kevin's gaze softened, and for a while there was a torn look on his face.
"If you stay with me and don't make a fuss, I'll let you see the child."
At the back of his mind, he thought that if she would just come back to him of her own will, he would let her see the child. Of course he wanted the child's mother to stay with him. Nothing would be better that that.
"You promise you'll let me see my child if I stay here?" Anne raised her chin as she spoke in a serious tone.
It was important for her to see her child, after all. If staying here with Kevin was the price to pay, she would willingly do it.
"Don't try and negotiate with me now. If you even dare to leave, you will never be able to see the kid ever again! I can guarantee you that."
As the days passed by, Anne was getting colder and colder towards him. Even though he wanted her to be there, her attitude was not something he was willing to tolerate, and he was thinking of using some special method if she didn't change.
After saying these cold words, he flashed another hard look at her before walking straight into the bedroom.
