As Kevin looked at the tears that rolled down Anne's face, a trace of distress passed through his heart.
His expression became a little stiff, and he frowned impatiently.
"Why are you crying?"
His emotions were filled with guilt and anger. This stubborn woman made him feel insulted for the first time.
There were so many women out there who were desperate to get into his bed. This woman who had all the chance to be intimate with him did nothing but resist him over and over. She cried as if she had suffered a lot, when in fact he just intended to give her pleasure.
"Kevin, what on earth do you want me to do to make you stop torturing me like this?"
Anne felt that she really couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't stand Kevin's hot and cold attitude towards her, let alone his moodiness.
"Torture you? Anne, do you think what I'm doing is torturing you?"
Kevin seemed to have taken the word 'torture' seriously. His face darkened at an instant. 'Damn it! How could she think that I am torturing her now?'
"Kevin, I'm tired enough of living in this villa. Please don't torture me anymore, okay?" Anne pleaded in a quavering voice. She wiped her tears and looked into his eyes seriously.
All she wanted now was to nourish the baby until her time of delivery. She promised to herself that right after she gave birth to her child, she would terminate the agreement with Kevin. She couldn't wait to have her freedom.
"Listen, Anne, you are mine, so it's your duty to please me!"
Kevin held Anne's shoulders with his hands and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Please you? Have you forgotten that our relationship is merely based on the contract? There is no such term in our agreement,"
Anne said coldly as her tears fell down her face. Kevin showed no mercy in front of her. His eyes were fiery and intimidating.
She had never seen him this angry, and it made her feel uneasy. Did this man want to give her a beating?
She couldn't help but worry for safety, and mostly the safety of her child. Kevin was capable of anything when he was exasperated.
But to her surprise, Kevin's mood shifted so quickly, as if he had a serious mental illness. His gloomy face was suddenly replaced with a bright one. However, there was something wrong behind his smile.
"Anne, do you want me to terminate the contract by deliberately saying these words to me?"
Kevin leaned to Anne closer and smiled wickedly. He looked at her keenly as if he had already known what was on her mind.
Anne was left speechless. How did he come to this conclusion? As far as she remembered, she had not mentioned a thing about wanting him to terminate the agreement from the beginning to the end.
This man's mind was incredibly confusing.
"Kevin, you seem to have misunderstood me. I have never said such words!" Anne managed to hide her confusion and still looked at him seriously. She explained herself only to contradict what he had misunderstood.
Kevin always had a bad impression of her. She didn't want him to think of her like that, so she did everything to change what was in his mind.
"You haven't said it, but clearly this is what you had in mind. Since when are you too cowardly to admit it?" Kevin scowled in a dissatisfied and cold manner.
The damn woman had the guts to admit the unacceptable things that she had done in front of him before. What stopped her from admitting the truth right now?
His arrogance made Anne upset and she was left no words to say. He only believed whatever he thought was right.
"Mr. Kevin, how do you know that is what I had in mind?" Anne asked coldly, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
"Didn't you refuse me just because of the agreement? If there was no agreement, would you still refuse?" Would you?"
Kevin smiled complacently. He had long believed that Anne kept on refusing him because of the contract.
Anne was speechless as she looked into his eyes. She didn't know how to protect herself from this stone-hearted and selfish man. She ran out of ways to make him believe her. What else could she do?
Kevin touched her face with his big palm. His touch made her tremble in fear.
"Why are you speechless? Is it because I've seen through you?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly.
"Kevin, did you ever realize how arrogant you are? Arrogance is a disease that needs to be cured!" Anne retaliated in anger and looked at him sharply. This man did nothing but aggravate her.
"What did you say? Say that again!" He suddenly strangled her with his own hands. His fingers turned white due to the force he was exerting.
He gritted his teeth. What Anne said exacerbated the situation.
Anne could hardly breathe. His grip on her neck was so tight. Still and all, she looked at him fiercely and never bowed down.
"If you are not afraid that the baby might be in danger, you can strangle me to death!" Her voice was a bit raspy. She was still unwilling to give up despite the pain she felt.
Kevin, who was on the verge of his outrage, became more furious. She was really courting death in front of him, who had lost himself in aggression.
