Kevin frowned and looked at Cherry impatiently. He was getting tired of being pestered by her.
Cherry looked at him with so much pain in her eyes. She couldn't stand his indifference towards her.
"Kevin, do you really want me to leave so badly? Didn't we have a serious affection for each other? Why does it seem like you never really loved me?"
Cherry spoke in a quavering voice. The colder he was, the more flustered she became. This man was so cruel to her now. How could he be like that?
Her words only made him more irritated. First with Anne, now with this perturbing woman. Anne had made him angry earlier when she told him that she just came back for the baby and she didn't care for him at all.
"Cherry, am I not making myself clear enough for you to understand? Do I have to say it one more time?"
The more she pleaded, the more Kevin was annoyed. He didn't want to take one more look at her. In his eyes, there was no one but Anne.
He was about to leave after saying such things.
"Kevin, I have done so much for you, but in the end, this is how you will treat me? What am I to you? My mother even risked her life for you, but you still ended up ditching me like this."
Cherry knew that he was already in love with Anne and he became more determined to get her back. It was the reason why he wanted to break up with her now, but she still knew him the most. He was not a heartless person and that was enough to use her mother just so he wouldn't let her go.
As expected, a hint of hesitation flashed in Kevin's eyes when he heard about her mother. Although he was irritated by her, he still owed her mother a lot for saving his life.
"I always remember your mother's kindness, so I have always kept you by my side to take care of you. I know it's unfair to you, but I really can't accept anyone else now. I really can't love you anymore."
This time, he spoke softer and with enough patience. He would always consider the fact that he was saved by her mother no matter what, but he had to be true to her in order not to complicate things in the future.
Cherry was overjoyed when she saw the hesitation in his eyes. She had a little hope that he would still let her stay by his side.
"Kevin, I just want you to let me stay with you. I don't care about anything else, so don't drive me away, okay?"
Her eyes were filled with tears. Obviously, she was in a state of devastation. Any man who would see her would feel sorry for her.
Kevin didn't want to talk to her anymore. He walked past her, but he stopped when he heard what she said next.
"Kevin, I know that you only care about Anne now, but have you ever thought if she loves you or not? Don't you feel her lack of interest from the way she treated you just now? She doesn't care about you at all!"
Cherry knew how arrogant Kevin was. There had always been a lot of women around him, desperate to get into his bed. She knew that he would be infuriated when he realized what she meant. She had to seize the chance to add fuel to the fire.
As expected, Kevin felt exasperated. He didn't like what Anne told him earlier. Now that Cherry exacerbated what he felt, he didn't know how he would still be able to control his rage. He could get any woman as long as he wanted, but this Anne, she actually rejected him.
When Cherry noticed that his mood shifted, she felt satisfied knowing that her words affected him a lot. She even continued to infuriate him.
"Kevin, are you really going to keep a woman who doesn't love you by your side?" Cherry looked at his face keenly.
Although she was happy that her words had had an impact to him, she felt a bit afraid that he might vent his anger on her if she was not careful enough.
Kevin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. His anger was supposed to have been suppressed already, but this woman seemed to provoke him to his limits.
"Kevin…"
"Enough!"
he quickly retorted. He did not need anyone to remind him of how he should deal with Anne.
Cherry was startled by his roar and looked at him with fear. She said those words for his good. Didn't he feel it at all?
"Kevin, I have said those words for your own good. Don't you even appreciate me for doing this for you?"
Cherry was obviously aggrieved when she said those words to him. She was never disregarded by him like this. He seemed to be a completely different person to her now.
