"Auntie, I'm afraid that if you do this, Kevin will be unhappy. I don't want him to be angry at me,"
Cherry said in a low voice, pretending to be embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I will just tell him that I am taking care of it. I will make sure Kevin will not have a problem with you. Just wait and be the good future daughter-in-law that you have to be,"
Selma said while smiling and holding Cherry's hand.
"Ah, thanks a lot, Auntie! If I do hit the jackpot and end up marrying Kevin, I will be filial to you then."
Cherry get more confidence and security in her heart whenever she remembered Selma's promise to her.
Kevin would definitely stop being perfunctory if Selma continuously pressured him.
"Good, good. That's what I want to hear."
Selma was more and more impressed with Cherry, her chosen daughter-in-law to be. Cherry was obviously better than Anne.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Kevin's slender figure appeared in front of them. His dark eyes glinted with traces of suspicion as he looked at Selma.
"What are you doing here?"
He took off his coat and sat down in front of Selma. His tone was casual, but there was no lack of respect.
"Am I not allowed to visit my son? You're so busy with the business that I hardly see you nowadays,"
Selma complained.
"Of course you can visit me. I was actually planning to visit you in a couple of days." Kevin giggled at the sight of his mother's dissatisfied expression.
"That's what you say every time I miss you and come to see you. It's like you don't mean it. What an ungrateful son you are!"
Selma was still dissatisfied. Her son was a workaholic. To him, nothing was more important than the company.
Kevin shook his head in disbelief as he stared at his mother's childish expression. Since when did she become so grumpy?
"Kevin, please stay here and talk to auntie for a bit while I make you some coffee." Cherry understood the look in Selma's eyes, so she made up an excuse to exit the room.
As she stood behind the kitchen door, Cherry looked at Kevin apprehensively. It was as if she wanted to see through his real thoughts.
"Mom, what is it? Is there something you want to tell me?" He saw the look in his mother's eyes and figured that she wanted to talk about something.
"Kevin, to tell you the truth, I came here today to confirm the date of your wedding with Cherry,"
Selma stared into her son's handsome face anxiously.
"I'm in no mood to talk about the wedding right now. Let's talk about it later." He felt irritated when his mother pressed the subject of the wedding again.
He hadn't thought about the wedding these past few days. He actually thought that he didn't want to go on with the wedding anymore.
Selma was displeased at his sudden coldness. She remembered that Cherry had told her that Kevin was still thinking about Anne, and it made her a little angry.
"Kevin, you've already broken up with that vile woman, and Cherry has been with you for a long time now. Don't you think it's time for you to give her the status she deserves?
Selma said, a little dissatisfied with his son's indifferent attitude.
"I will take care of the wedding myself, mother. You don't need to worry about it. Just relax,"
Kevin said and frowned just at the thought of getting married.
You are my child, my son. How can I not be anxious about your marriage?"
Kevin's cold attitude was beyond what Selma expected it to be. At first, she thought Cherry was just exaggerating, but then it dawned on her that maybe Kevin could be acting like that because of that woman named Anne.
Kevin picked up the magazine he saw lying on the table and started reading it casually, pretending not to hear what Selma said.
"Kevin, are you even listening to me? I am serious!" Selma shouted and snatched the magazine from her son's hand and threw it on the table. There was a trace of anger in her tone.
"Didn't I just tell you that you don't need to worry about me?" Kevin said monotonously while looking so annoyed.
"Tell me the truth! Are you still thinking about Anne? Do you regret breaking up with her?" Selma yelled.
Thinking that her son's breakup with Anne might have had a huge effect on him made Selma more pissed off.
She was just a vicious woman. What did she even do that made Kevin so drawn to her?
Anne had been away from Kevin from such a long time, but that didn't keep Kevin from forgetting about her. That woman must have really been something.
Selma saw that Kevin's eyes narrowed when he heard Anne's name and that made her unhappy.
"From now on, you will stop mentioning that woman's name especially when you are talking to me. I want nothing to do with her anymore!"
