"You don't have to be so formal with me. We are friends." Anne's appreciation had always made Sam feel distant, which disappointed him.
Feeling embarrassed, Anne lowered her head. She did not dare to look into his gentle eyes. She could feel his love for her, but she felt awful for being unable to give him what he wanted in return. She could only treat him as a friend.
"Let's go to the hotel first." Sam strode forward and lightly dragged the suitcase for Anne.
He knew that she only viewed him as a friend, but he wanted to protect her.
"By the way, Emily seems to be in America, right?" Anne suddenly mentioned Emily's name as she followed behind Sam.
Sam stiffened his back after hearing it. He felt strange, but it suddenly disappeared.
"Yes. We are in America, maybe we could see her again."
It had been several months since Emily came to America, but she hadn't even called him. He wondered if she was still mad at him for standing her up.
"Sam, have you ever thought about how would you face Emily when you meet her again?"
Anne knew that Emily was deeply in love with him. She had a feeling that Sam had saved a place for Emily in his heart. Maybe he had not figured it out at the moment.
"Emily and I grew up together. We are very good friends." Sam was worried that Anne might misinterpret him, so he quickly explained his relationship with her.
"Are you surely just friends? Sam, can't you feel her love for you?"
Anne shook her head helplessly. She felt sorry for Emily. The man she loved had not recognized his feelings for her yet.
"Anne, you think too much. Emily and I are just friends." Although Sam tried to defend it, his heart was stirred up by what she had said.
"I just hope that you seize your happiness and not waste your time on the wrong person."
When she said 'the wrong person' she was referring to herself. She had seen Sam's kindness to her, and she wanted to repay him. She would give anything except love.
Her heart already died, and she would never fall in love with someone again. If she went along with Sam, it would be unfair to him.
"Only I know whether it's worth it or not. Well, let's just stop talking about it."
Sam knew that Anne was rejecting him euphemistically, but he was determined. He would stick to his decision.
He believed that Anne would fall in love with him after some time.
She shook her head once more. Knowing that Sam would not listen to her, she decided to talk about it later.
They found themselves a decent house and Sam bought it with a large sum of money. Although the house was not that big, the environment was really great.
"Let's stay here for the meantime. Don't worry about the baby. I will send someone to investigate it,"
Sam said in fear that Anne would look for her child alone in an unfamiliar place.
"Okay."
Even though Anne had not gotten any news about her child, she did not lose hope. She believed that she would find her child someday.
Meanwhile, in an office of the Fu Group, Kevin looked particularly bothered.
There was still no news regarding Anne after several days, and he had been dreaming of her lately.
The assistant standing beside was concerned, so he walked up to him and asked, "Mr. Kevin, are you feeling unwell?"
"No!" Kevin frowned in annoyance.
The assistant did not dare to say anything more when he saw the unfriendly look on Kevin's face.
"Come here. I have a question for you." Kevin waved his hand and ordered his assistant to come closer.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Kevin?"
The assistant looked at Kevin nervously, wondering if he had done something wrong. He feared that Kevin was going to fire him.
"I kept thinking about a woman every day. I want to know how she is and what she is doing right now. I even dream of her at night. Tell me, what is going on with me?"
Kevin was irritated just by speaking what he felt. He was also mad at himself being like this.
The assistant was so shocked that his chin almost fell to the ground. He glanced at him with bewilderment.
Did he hear it right? Did these words really come from his boss?
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you answer my question?" Kevin grew tired of waiting for his answer, so he scowled at him.
"Mr. Kevin, you must have fallen in love with the woman you are referring to,"
the assistant answered respectfully as soon as he came to his senses.
His boss had always been immune to women. He thought that they were expendable. What changed his mind? Who was the woman his boss fell in love with?
