Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 231

A day later, Kevin kept his promise with Anne and brought Eddy for her to spend time with.

Outside the window of the room, she clearly saw the bright sun and the vast sky. The weather was so nice that it was actually a good opportunity to walk around the villa. Anne held Eddy in her arms and wore a maternal smile as she stared at the little angel. However, despite all this, there was a dark cloud of loneliness in her eyes.

It had been two days since she was locked in this place by Kevin. She knew that he was an imposing person, but she didn't expect that he would really lock her up in here. Although there weren't that many people around, she would be instantly caught once she tried to sneak out.

"Bah…" Eddy softly pulled Anne's soft hair as he babbled with his mouth and uttered indistinct syllables.

Although she couldn't understand anything, Anne listened carefully and nodded once in a while as if she was really talking to him.

At this moment, the East Mountain Villa was very empty. There weren't any other visitors except her, and the only people present in the place were the ones that Kevin hired to take care of her needs.

"I wonder what Ian is doing right now. He should be worried sick…" Anne said in a melancholic tone.

Thinking of how much Ian had cared for her, she felt guilty that things went downhill this fast.

Anne disappeared right after the engagement. She was afraid that Ian must be looking for her like crazy, and she didn't know what exactly he was thinking right now. She couldn't even inform him where she was at this moment.

Thinking about all these unfortunate things, she let out a frown and her eyes almost began to tear up.

At the same time, as she was too focused on this matter and was lost in her thoughts, he failed to notice that Kevin was already standing right behind her.

"Wow… Even in this situation, you still can't forget that guy?" Kevin suddenly spoke from behind her.

As she heard Kevin's gloomy voice, Anne suddenly regained her senses. She quickly turned and was taken aback at his crestfallen face. Then, she asked, "How long have you been here? Are you eavesdropping on me?"

"Does it matter? Why? Are you afraid of being heard?

I can't believe that you have such intense feelings for Ian that the whole room is filled with your longing for him." After saying this, Kevin grabbed Anne's wrist and stared directly at her eyes like an angry lion that was asserting his dominance over his territory.

"Yes, I'm thinking about him. So, why does it matter to you? Are you surprised that I'm not like you, who can just abandon a lover and get another woman pregnant without even batting an eye? If I like Ian, what are you going to do? You'd better get your shit together before you meddle in other people's affairs," Anne said haughtily.

"You!"

Before Kevin could continue lashing out, Eddy burst into crying. It seemed that he was startled when Kevin suddenly raised his voice.

As the child's crying ensued, the heated argument between the two was put on hold.

"Act your age and don't scare the baby." With Eddy still in her arms, Anne gave a cold glare at Kevin with her fierce eyes.

Seeing how serious she was, Kevin instantly withdrew his hand. His eyes averted Anne's gaze as he noticed that her wrist became reddish due to his tight grasp.

Deeming that it wasn't the right moment to confront her, Kevin snorted angrily before leaving the room. Seeing his receding figure, Anne was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

After a while, Kevin went back to his study and spent his time there. He was sitting at his table in a grey leisure suit. At this moment, it could be seen that his eyes flashed an overbearing coldness, which was more nerve-wracking than when he was in the company's office.

On his pure black table, there sat several important documents that were a bit disheveled. There were also potted plants that seemed like they hadn't been watered for days.

Meanwhile, Kevin was reading a book, trying to calm his nerves. However, his heart was still restless. It was throbbing so hard that he could hear its sound over the silence of the room.

As he clearly remembered Anne's face while saying those words earlier, he gritted his teeth out of frustration.

He couldn't believe that Anne would actually fall in love with Ian this fast.

While he couldn't stop thinking about this, Kevin stood up and made his way to the liquor cabinet. As he opened the door, several bottles of exquisite wines welcomed him. The delicate wooden corks were tightly sealed, and the mellow visual appearance of the bottles enticed him.

He grabbed a bottle and quickly filled the goblet with the luscious red wine. After gulping a few glasses, he felt that the strength of the wine wasn't what he was looking for. Thus, he took out a bottle of whisky next.

The moment he opened the beguiling bottle of whisky, a strong scent of alcohol and premium malt pervaded the room. He just wanted to chug down these alcoholic drinks to calm his unsettled mind and his aching heart.

Soon enough, he felt that he was finally getting drunk, but he didn't want to be too wasted since he was afraid that Anne might escape.

He had been domineering and he knew that she couldn't resist him, but there was still something that was scaring the hell out of him.

But just as Kevin dealt with his fluctuating mood, someone suddenly knocked at the door. He was kind of startled when he heard the crisp sound of the wood being slowly banged, but then he got a hold of himself and said, "Come in."

When the door opened, Anne's sullen face emerged from the slit before she entered. She was very thin, but the way she stood her ground against Kevin showed her unquestionable strength.

"Kevin, why did you take Eddy away?" Anne asked straightforwardly and sternly.

When Anne woke up this afternoon, Eddy was already gone and she was the only one left in her room. Hearing this, Kevin smiled deviously. Due to his lightheadedness, all he heard was her muffled voice, and all he could focus on was her particularly attractive lips.

However, just the sound of her voice made him unhappy. There was a sensation that tended to make him feel alienated and unneeded.

But since he was drunk, he felt like he could do anything. It was as if he had the strength to overpower her even just this once. Therefore, under the influence of alcohol, Kevin suddenly pulled Anne into his arms and kissed her on the lips without any hesitation. Anne felt flustered for a brief moment before she mustered her courage to push Kevin away.

As he was pushed by Anne's seemingly fragile arms, he wobbled and eventually fell on the floor. When she had finally escaped from Kevin's grasp, she held her chest as she gasped for air.

Drunk, and without too much sense of reason, Kevin felt that his authority was being challenged. At this moment, since Anne recognized that he wasn't in a sound state of mind, she decided to just walk away. When Kevin saw this, he felt extremely dejected. He didn't want to be shunned, especially by the woman he liked. Hence, he quickly stood and hugged her from behind to prevent her from leaving.

"No, Anne. You're not going anywhere."

His voice still sounded emphatic and aggrieved at the same time.

Hearing this, Anne became more furious ad anxious. She tried to push him hard, but this time, Kevin managed to hold her tightly. After struggling for quite a long while, she had to give up because she didn't have the strength to resist him.

"Kevin, what do you think you're doing? You're clearly drunk, so I don't want to argue with you like this. If you still have a little conscience, let go of me," Anne pleaded.

The truth was Anne wasn't convinced that Kevin would be really drunk.

After all, she remembered her ex-husband as someone very good at drinking.
