Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 555

Only two people were in the car, Kevin, who was driving, and Anne. When the latter turned to look at her husband, she felt some tension between them. Anne tried to recall what had happened during the day. However, apart from her fall, she didn't do anything out of line. It was safe to say she had no clue as to why Kevin looked so unhappy.

"All I did was drink a little too much. I just didn't want you to worry about me, that's all. I felt a little dizzy, and that's why I bumped into Sam by accident," explained Anne carefully. Her gaze was still fixated on Kevin.

"Really?" His tone of voice was incredulous.

"Nothing more?" Kevin then stopped the car on the side of the road. He switched off the engine and sat there in silence. During this moment, which seemed like an eternity, his eyes were fixed on the steering wheel. Unwilling to look at Anne, he lit a cigarette and proceeded to enjoy the suffocating smoke.

"No, that's all that happened! The alcohol just got the best of me. I wasn't expecting the effect it would have on me."

But the silent man in the driver's seat chose not to say anything.

Anne, anxious by the lack of response from her husband, tried to go over her actions. There must have been something else she had done. Unfortunately, she felt lost. What was more, the sight of Kevin, who was surrounded by a cloud of dark smoke, added to her feeling of helplessness. She had already felt very embarrassed at the luncheon, and now Kevin's attitude made her feel even worse.

"Nothing else comes to mind," Anne whispered, as she tried to suppress the nervousness in her voice. However, the tears in her eyes revealed her true emotions.

Anne had made a fool of herself when she first officially met Sam, and that was out of the question. Nevertheless, she never figured this would be such a serious issue for Kevin. After all, it was all an accident. Alas, she was given the cold shoulder by her own husband.

Of course, the latter, who was still immersed in his thoughts, failed to acknowledge her emotions.

Anne lowered her head and silently wiped the tears off her eyes. Then, she took a look at the man next to her. Kevin refused to return the look, so he threw away the cigarette and started the car.

Some minutes had passed when they finally arrived at the hotel. Kevin parked the car and immediately went to get Anne from her seat. He held her in his arms and walked back to their room, ignoring all the murmurs and surprised faces.

Similar to the night before, Anne was carried back to their shared bed. Unfortunately, the mood had radically changed between the two.

She sat on the edge of the bed and recalled the beautiful night they had shared the night before, and the warmth of this morning when she woke up in his arms. She suddenly felt out of control.

She lowered her head and bit her lips, trying her best to restrain herself. She didn't want Kevin to see right through her.

The latter, however, noticed the way Anne was behaving. She was sitting on the bed in a simple dress, which revealed her pale neck covered by her glossy hair.

The neckline of the dress was rather low and inviting. Her waist was wrapped up with a belt, which highlighted her slim silhouette. The irregular hemline of the dress and her milky-white delicate skin made her look cute.

All of these details made Kevin remember the way she looked at the party today. The corner of her dress was raised. Her eyes revealed her cheerful self. He could see how she was satisfied when tasting the wine due to her facial expressions. It was obvious that she wanted to grab something to eat, but chose to restrain herself instead.

He had learnt how to read his wife like a book.

He remembered that Anne had already met Sam somewhere he didn't know. Additionally, she had secretly glanced at Sam once. The two of them had in fact bumped into each other. That was why she was holding onto his clothes tightly.

Anne didn't think too much about this. Unfortunately, that couldn't be said about Kevin. He had witnessed this chain of events with his own eyes and, at this moment, he felt furious. But he chose to suppress his emotions.

The gloominess returned to his eyes. He just couldn't stand seeing her as the object of attention of others.

For a long time, the two of them remained silent.

As soon as Anne calmed down, she felt the urge to look at Kevin. As if he had read her mind, he proceeded to walk up to her.

When Anne finally raised her head, she noticed he was getting near. The need to meet his gaze was increasing.

"Anne." Kevin's voice was almost a whisper. There seemed to be some suppressed emotions in his tone of voice. He rested his hand on her glossy hair. With utmost gentleness, he stroked it, as though he was trying to calm Anne down.

"Kevin, I really am clueless." she felt relieved by his display of affection. However, her calm mood began to fade away. Then, she raised her hand to hold onto Kevin's waist.

"Okay." He was evidently dissatisfied with her response. He squinted slightly. Nevertheless, he couldn't show his true emotions to her now.

All of a sudden, Kevin lifted Anne up and threw her on the bed.

"Ah! What was that for?" she asked, evidently perplexed by his actions.

Kevin trapped her body between his arms. He gently brushed her smooth skin with careful fingers just to feel her temperature. His fingertips outlined her collarbone and Anne shivered under his touch. His hand travelled down her figure, stroking it slowly. The way he touched her made her feel like a rare treasure.

However, as she was imprisoned in his arms, Anne had little space to move. Kevin had put his weight on top of her and now the only things moving were his wandering hands. The way things had developed in such a short time left her completely speechless.

So, in a bid to regain her composure, she put her hands on Kevin's chest and tried to push him away.

"Well. Do you have anything else to say?" He raised his tone slightly. It was too difficult to accept Anne's rejection in the situation they were in.

"It's time we have a talk." She looked at Kevin with misty eyes.

"You think so? How did you meet Sam behind my back?" Kevin was definitely a little annoyed.

"Or shall we talk about why you keep looking at him? Or why did you hold onto his clothes?" It was safe to say he wasn't holding back on calling Anne out.

The flirtatious mood was certainly over now that he had lost his mind.

"What?" Anne was a little stunned. She couldn't believe the interrogation coming from him. His questions had been so out of left field. She finally sobered up.
