Coldness and anger flashed through Anne's eyes. It seemed that Cherry couldn't hold back her emotions anymore. She even dared to frankly speak her mind when Kevin was around. Was it because she had been seen through that she felt no need to continue pretending anymore?
Anne smirked as she thought of it. She was looking forward to how Kevin would react if he knew Cherry's true colors.
Kevin was in the study room when he heard someone quarreling downstairs. He came to see who it was, but when he came, Cherry had already left. He saw Anne sitting alone in the living room, soothing the child.
He approached her and stared at her face tenderly.
"What happened just now? Why did I hear Cherry's voice?" he said in an unusually soft tone.
Anne was dismayed when she noticed how Kevin spoke Cherry's name in a soft tone, but she still remained her straight face.
"Are you worried that I will do something to hurt your sweetheart again?" she said in a cold tone, but the bitterness in her voice was evident. She lowered her head and continued soothing her baby.
He immediately frowned when he heard what she said. Irritation flashed through his black eyes when he thought, did she still care about Cherry's existence in their house?
"I had talked to Cherry last night. She will move out today. From now on, our relationship is over. You don't need to worry about it anymore. Don't mind it. You are my only woman now,"
He patiently explained while he looked at her cold face. He didn't want to throw all the efforts he had made for the woman to come back to him. The last he would do was to get her angry and made her leave again.
After she heard his explanation, she tried hard to ignore him even though her heart was pounding fast.
"I've never said that I'm your woman now. Mr. Kevin, you are overthinking things. We two have nothing to do with each other. The reason why I came back with you was just to see my baby."
The harm he had caused her was already too much. Their relationship was initially broken, so there was no reason for him to fall in love with her even if he left Cherry.
He thought that his words could make her heart flutter even slightly, but it seemed that he had no place in the woman's heart anymore. Kevin had never been so patient to a woman before. He had tried so many times to reach out to her, but her reaction towards him was still so cold.
"Anne, that's all you want to say to me? Nothing else? I just said that my relationship with Cherry has ended. Don't you feel anything?"
Kevin was dissatisfied with her attitude. Why did her attitude towards him never change even though he had tried to do everything he could to please her?
"Should I feel something? Mr. Kevin, I think you know why I came back with you. From the beginning to the end, the relationship between us hasn't changed. I just want to spend more time with my child. As for your relationship with Cherry, I'm not interested at all. You don't have to explain it to me."
She stopped him coldly. Anne didn't want to hear anything about them. She didn't want to keep her hopes up and get disappointed again.
"Anne!" His eyes darkened. Her words were like a big stone in his heart, making him feel very frustrated.
He was about to lose his temper, but he suppressed his anger when he saw Anne's face. He was cautious about getting angry with this woman.
"Mr. Kevin, what can I do for you? If not, I'll take my child upstairs."
Anne didn't want to talk to Kevin anymore, so she walked upstairs carrying the baby in her arms.
The woman's attitude made him even furious. He had been too gentle to her, but she still gave him such a perspective. No woman had dared to ignore Kevin before like she did. 'How dare she!'
He stopped her by blocking her way and stared at her eyes with anger. He wondered what the little woman wanted. What should he do to make her treat him like before?
"Anne, what do you want me to do? Isn't it enough for me to do this?"
His cold eyes were burning with anger. Anne really pissed him off. No woman had dared to refuse him like this before.
"You have done this yourself. I haven't asked you to do it for me. You can go to Cherry and tell her that you regret it. I know she will come back to you swiftly."
Anne raised her head and told every bit of the word, emphasizing it as she stared at his eyes. What did he mean with his words? Did he think that she was annoying?
How come he was so annoyed and impatient at her when he said he wanted her to go back at him?
