"I'm not tired," retorted Anne.
After Eddy left, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, nobody could fight against him for Anne. The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. As he thought of this, a smirk appeared at his mouth secretly.
"What do you want to eat? You didn't eat anything just now." Kevin had been always worried if Anne was not eating well.
"No, I'm not hungry. I have no appetite," she answered.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked again.
"I don't want to eat anything," she refused him curtly.
However, he had already made up his mind. He called the servant over and ordered, "Buy all the fruits you can buy in A City."
Anne's eyes widened in surprise. She felt dizzy and Kevin's gestures were making it worse. Now, she felt so stupid as well. How could she underestimate Kevin's executive power?
"Don't buy it. It's a waste to buy so many things at once, just like last time," she said unhappily.
Growing up in a rich family, Kevin never suffered any struggles. He did not even understand how horrible it was to waste food. If a normal person was with them right now, that person would have been appalled!
"I didn't waste it last time. Since you didn't eat it, I sent it to the company as a reward. Of course I sent more to Sam," said Kevin discreetly.
But in his heart, he knew that Sam must have cursed him a countless times.
"Well, I want to eat preserved plum now." The taste of plum suddenly crossed Anne's mind. Thinking of it, she could not wait to taste it again.
The servant realized right away that it was easier to buy plum than to buy all the fruits that could be bought in A City, so she immediately answered, "It is said that pregnant people like eating plums. It's true. Miss Anne always likes to eat sour food recently. She must be pregnant with a boy. It's what people in my hometown said."
As Anne heard this, her face darkened.
On the other hand, Kevin was ecstatic. If he had two sons, they would be way ahead of Sam. From now on, the task of providing his sons' calcium and making his sons grow taller was Sam's job. At the thought of it, he felt relieved.
Meanwhile, Anne stayed silent for a long time. Kevin lowered his head and peeked through her face, only to find that she looked unhappy. "What's wrong? Why are you sad?"
"I want my baby to be a girl." She believed that she was pregnant with a girl until she heard the servant's remark.
Giving birth to a baby boy two times was unbelievable for her.
Kevin rolled his eyes upon hearing her, but he still comforted her. "Don't think too much. Maybe our baby will be a girl."
"Okay." Her face softened when she thought of the possibility.
Although Kevin comforted her, he himself did not believe so.
Of course Anne would be happy if it was a girl. But even if it was not a girl, she could still give birth to another one anyway. He would not suffer any loss. It was a win-win situation!
Despite Kevin's happy imagination, he looked submissive, showing that he would listen to whatever she said.
In ZM Western Restaurant.
At ten o'clock in the evening, most of the rooms in Western restaurants had been closed, but the lights were still on in the ZM Western Restaurant. The restaurant closed later than the other restaurants because it was too popular.
Inside, the sound of steak sizzling could be heard while it was being served on the table.
The lamps in the room were antiques. The steak that was being served was a medium done one with aromatic sauce. It looked fresh and tender against the dim yellow light and the beige tablecloth.
Sam picked up his cutlery and skillfully used them for the steak. Sitting across him, Emily did not move.
She rarely went to Western restaurant because she didn't feel like cutting the steak herself though she admitted that the movements were so graceful when she saw others doing it.
When Sam saw that Emily was not moving her food, he offered the already sliced steak to her.
"Mine is the same as yours. Eat this," offered Sam.
"No, No. You don't have to. I can cut this myself." Emily refused embarrassingly.
Although she refused his offer, Sam thought that she was still cute. "This is the Feng Family's tradition. When my father pursued my mother, he used this gesture to win her heart. My father thought that this was a good gesture that should be passed down."
Emily smiled upon hearing Sam's story. She was happy, not only because he shared a wonderful joke, but also because she was happy to see him.
"Sam, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Kevin. At first I thought you two weren't getting along with each other. It turned out that he trusted you so much that he was even willing to hand the work of his company over to you," said Emily in awe.
To her surprise, Sam's face suddenly darkened.
"You aren't completely wrong. We actually have bad relationship. My mother is his aunt so he always mentioned to me that he needs my mother's help for something important. In reality, he just wants me to help him. Kevin is undoubtedly a real profiteer." When Sam spoke, he was gritting his teeth.
Seeing him like this, Emily smiled in contentment. Sam was not as serious as before. He was being childish now, but he looked lovely.
Perhaps he really had a good relationship with Kevin. He just could not hide his true emotions now.
"If so, Kevin is indeed a real profiteer! But isn't this his style?" Emily touched her nose and asked nervously.
She was used to being bullied by Kevin. If he found out that she was talking about him behind his back, she feared that she would be punished.
Interestingly, Emily's timid appearance reminded Sam of a tiny hamster. He looked at the lady in front of him with tenderness and adoration in his eyes. His heart softened at the sight of her radiant smile.
"I never expected that Anne would be pregnant again. I'll go and see her tomorrow." Emily was munching on the salad so she could not speak clearly. Even if a mouthful of leaves were in her mouth, she still looked adorable in the eyes of Sam.
