"Kevin, do you still have feelings for Anne? After the two of you broke up, you've been so cold towards me. Don't you love me anymore?"
Cherry looked at him with grief and forbearance in her beautiful eyes.
She knew that it would be difficult for her to discard Anne's existence in his life completely. Still, that didn't mean she could tolerate his mean demeanor towards her.
The woman's words fueled his upset feeling more.
"Please, I don't want to repeat what I've just said anymore!"
Her eyes widened in surprise. She looked at him as pain surged within her heart. It was the first time that he had snapped in front of her.
She bit her lower lip and tried to stop the tears that filled her eyes. It was the first time her almond eyes had looked pitiful.
"Sorry, I was just scared,"
she whispered. Then she turned her back and walked upstairs after she had wiped the tears off her face.
When he saw the look in her eyes, Kevin slightly frowned. He was regretful at the dismissed tone in his voice, but he couldn't help it. Not with how impatience ate his heart away.
All he thought about was Anne. The thought of getting married to Cherry never crossed his mind.
Deep inside him, he knew that the woman he planned to marry was Cherry. However, his heart resisted just by the thought of it.
He seemed to have changed for he had never been influenced by the idea of love.
Gloom gnawed his heart as he sat on the sofa. His head screamed and was full of Anne.
From this moment onwards, the person who was in charge of taking care of her was Sam. 'Would that damned woman take this opportunity to fall in love with him?'
Kevin felt like he'd go insane just by the thought of it.
While he was lost in various fancies and conjectures, the butler came in and saw the heavy look in his eyes.
"Mr. Kevin, Miss Anne is at the door," the butler informed. Kevin stared at the butler with utter surprise after he heard her name.
"What is she doing here?"
Her sudden appearance made him want to rush out and see her, but he restrained himself.
"Miss Anne said that she came here to see the child," the butler said hesitantly as he looked at Kevin's gloomy face.
"Tell her to go away. I won't let her see my child."
He had already predicted the reason for her sudden appearance. He felt sorry for her, but he wouldn't let her see the baby.
"Yes, I will tell her to go away this instant," the butler answered and left quickly.
He went to the gate of the villa and saw that the woman stood and waited patiently. He walked over towards her.
"Miss Anne, Mr. Kevin said that he didn't want to see you at the moment. Please go back,"
he said indifferently and ordered the guard to close the gate.
"Butler, please let me see Kevin. I just need to see my child."
His words made Anne anxious. All she wanted was to see her baby. Why did he have to refuse so stubbornly?
"Miss. Anne, please don't make things hard for me. I am just a housekeeper who passes on Mr. Kevin's words."
He felt a little soft after he had seen the pleading eyes of the woman, but his job was more important for him than her dilemma.
After that, the security guards came in and closed the gates without further notice.
Anne watched as the iron gates isolated her from the people inside. She squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
'I just wanted to catch a glimpse of my child.'
Kevin stood by the huge French window and looked at the crouched figure outside with heartache.
The woman was more stubborn than he had thought. He had already made himself clear while they were in the hospital, but she refused to give up.
Anne stood by the closed gate for two hours and didn't move to leave. All the while, Kevin matched with her and stood by the window and watched her.
'Damn it! It hasn't been that long since she gave birth to the baby. How could she just stand there and not care for her body at all? Is she not aware that it could harm her body?'
"Mr. Kevin, Miss. Anne has been standing by the gate for almost three hours. Would you like to come down and see her?"
The butler walked towards Kevin and tried to persuade him. He couldn't keep his mouth shut anymore after he saw that Anne remained outside.
"Drive that woman away and warn her to never enter the villa again," Kevin ordered in a cold, harsh voice as he clenched his fists.
The butler sighed helplessly after he heard his order. He wanted to say something but shut his mouth in the end.
