"I want Anne back." Sam's voice was colder than the arctic regions as he spoke with Kevin on the phone.
The thought of Anne by Kevin's side made him uneasy. He believed that she would never come back with Kevin willingly.
There was nothing else that she wanted more than to cut her ties with that wretched man once and for all.
"Do you truly believe that you could steal my woman?"
As if he had heard some joke, Kevin's lips evoked a mocking sneer, but the coldness of his eyes grew even sharper.
Was this an indication that he would not back down? Did Sam really think that he could take Anne away?
"I won't know unless I try," Sam said with his baritone voice, carrying a strong sense of determination in his eyes.
If Anne really didn't want to be with Kevin, then he must take her back at all costs.
"You're welcome to try if you think you can take her."
With a snort of disdain, Kevin hung up the phone directly. Sam wanted to snatch Anne from him, but it depended on whether he had the ability.
In the morning, when Anne went downstairs, there were two big dark circles under her eyes. She obviously didn't get any sleep last night.
"Look at you! Have you been up all night?"
Kevin's eyes narrowed at her, looking at her pale face and sunken dark eyes.
"You don't need to worry about it. It's none of your business," She replied without even glancing at his direction.
A frown creased his forehead. He gritted his teeth in anger as he stared at her.
"You still haven't learned how to speak with courtesy. Didn't I teach you enough last night?" Kevin reprimanded Anne for her manners and thought, 'Damn it! How dare she talk to me in such a tone?'
"Don't you have anything better to do than to threaten other people? Kevin, do you realize how cruel and ruthless you are? You only make me hate you more!"
Anne retorted confidently instead of getting intimidated by his infuriated look. She looked at him and remembered the horrid events from the previous evening. A trace of hatred surged in her heart.
Cruel? Ruthless?
How dare this woman use these two words on him?
"Anne, don't be so ungrateful! Why do you keep on testing my patience?" Kevin said with a straight face.
He stared at her with scorching eyes.
She was ungrateful? It was this man who always made things difficult for her, and he dared to label her as ungrateful? Anne smoldered within her thoughts. She could not understand what made the man standing in front of her so cruel. She could not fathom how someone could be so inhumane as to use people's weaknesses against them.
"I'm leaving," Anne declared firmly.
At this point, she was sure that the child was not here. Since she could not see the baby, she had no reason to stay.
"Where do you think you're going?"
He stared at Anne bitterly with his gloomy eyes. 'It had only been a night, but this woman could not help missing Sam?' Kevin thought.
"It has nothing to do with you. I am under no obligation to tell you where I'm going!"
'Are you kidding me? Why should I tell you where I am going?' she shouted in her head. Now that both of them had terminated their agreement, she didn't want to listen to him anymore.
"Are you saying that it is none of my business? You are my woman. Where you go is my concern." Kevin chewed his words out, holding onto the last bits of patience he had.
"Mr. Kevin, I think you've misunderstood our relationship. The two of us have nothing to with each other anymore. If we count what happened last night, it can only be regarded as a one-night stand."
The man was too narcissistic. She would never agree to be with him if it weren't for the child.
"What's our relationship then? Tell me, Anne!"
As he clenched his fists, blue veins burst on the back of his hands. Kevin felt that he was about to lose control of his emotions. This damn woman said that their relationship was only a one-night stand.
She was getting on his nerves!
"Am I wrong? It was nothing more than a one-night stand, wasn't it?"
One-night stand. She felt repulsive as she heard the words come out of her very own mouth. She had thought that if he got what he wanted, she could see the child, but this man obviously didn't want to let her go so easily.
"Then what are you? A prostitute?" Kevin blurted out. 'This damn woman actually said that their relationship was a one-night stand!'
A Prostitute?
Anne heard his words and her heart trembled with fury. This man's accusation was degrading to hear. When did she become a prostitute?
"If I am a hooker, then what are you doing? Whoring around? Mr. Kevin, you are insulting me as well as yourself."
When this wretched man insulted her, he insulted himself by extension.
"If you think so, then it must be true, right? Well, since I'm a whoremonger, and I don't mind paying you a few more times, Anne will you stay? I'd be happy to pay."
