A woman he truly loved? Did he love her?
How could it be possible? He was just interested in her body. How could he fall in love with a woman like her?
He knew that his ideal woman was like Cherry, a beautiful, generous, and kind-hearted woman.
"Do you think I would fall in love with such a woman? Am I that tasteless in your eyes?" Kevin answered coldly. He looked at his assistant with disdain.
He would never admit that he liked that woman. He kept himself believing that the only woman he loved was Cherry.
But it was different when he saw Anne's devastated eyes today. It was too painful that he almost agreed to her request of seeing the baby.
The assistant shook his head helplessly, disappointed when he heard the president's answer. It was undeniable that he didn't want to admit his feelings for her. His thoughts were just too complicated to understand.
Kevin had his servants arrange the baby's room before he arrived at the villa. There were several servants waiting in the room, taking care of the newborn child.
"Mr. Kevin!" The servants bowed to him the moment they saw him.
"All of you leave now." Kevin motioned them to go out without glancing at any of them.
The servants obeyed his order at once.
He headed to the side of the crib and checked on his baby. He caressed his little face and noticed that it somehow looked like him, but surprisingly replicated Anne's features as well.
"Do you also think I am too ruthless to her? Will you hate me when you grow up?" It was funny how he asked a two-day-old baby that question. He knew that the baby couldn't understand what he was thinking, but he felt compelled to speak his mind in front of him.
In the hospital, Anne was still lying on the bed in distress. She was in a daze. She couldn't accept that she couldn't see her child.
The door of the ward suddenly flung open. Sam immediately checked on her and noticed that she was a complete mess. He felt so bad seeing her like that.
"Anne, how are you feeling? Are you all right?"
"Why is he so cruel to me? Why? Why can't I even see my own child?" She suddenly burst out in tears when her gaze turned to him.
'Why did Kevin do this to her? Why!' The thought made Sam furious.
"Calm down, Anne. I know you're depressed right now, and I understand how you feel… But it may be good for you if you can't see the child. If you see the child, I'm certain you would never let him go."
He knew that Anne would become more emotionally attached if she saw the child. How could she be willing to leave him if she saw him?
"But that's my child. Has he ever thought about my feelings when he did this? I'm the mother of the child. Don't I even have the right to see him?"
Her beautiful eyes were filled with torment as she looked at Sam. The tears coming out were full of pain.
"Anne, let's not think about it now, okay? The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself." Sam was worried that Anne's emotional instability would break her. He knew that if he couldn't persuade her, she might collapse.
She was still very weak. Her mental breakdown would put her into a dangerous situation.
"Sam, please help me to see my child. I beg you!"
She knew what Sam was capable, and she only hoped that he could grant her request.
His heart couldn't refuse her pleading face. But every time he remembered what Kevin had said to him before, he had to be cautious of his actions.
"Okay, I'll figure something out. But before that, you must have a good rest, okay?"
To convince Anne to rest, Sam could only temporarily calm her emotions. The most important thing right now was her health.
"Okay, thank you, thank you!" Her eyes beamed with gratitude. She knew that with his power, the chances of seeing the child were much higher.
"Then you should lie down and get some rest. I'll ask the cook to prepare lunch for you and deliver it later."
It gave him relief that she was no longer obsessing over her child.
She obediently rested on her bed after Sam reassured her. However, she still thought about her child. She couldn't wait to finally see what the baby looked like.
A few days had passed, and Anne was able to recover quickly. She was finally feeling good enough to be discharged from the hospital.
Since she couldn't go back to Kevin's villa, she had to go back to her own house.
Sam offered her to stay in his place for the time being so he could take care of her, but she refused.
"Thanks for driving me home, Sam." She smiled and thanked him with a grateful tone.
"Anne. I think it's more convenient for you to live in my house so that I can take care of you. I'm worried about you living here alone."
He wanted to say something, but when he stared into her eyes, the calmness stopped him.
