Emily had known Sam for so many years. If he really liked her, how could she not feel it at all?
And she knew the one he liked was Anne.
"Anne, you don't have to comfort me. I'm fine with it." Emily smiled bitterly, her tone disappointed.
Seeing her so unconfident, Anne frowned helplessly.
One had to learn some things by oneself, because other people's experiences were only suggestions.
"Well, I believe that you two can be together. But now the most important thing is to work. Don't think about these things anymore."
Anne didn't want to see her upset, so she smiled and changed the topic.
"Well, I'll go and sort out the real estate information for you first." Emily was a very dedicated assistant. When she heard what Anne had just said, she immediately started to focus on her work.
"Go ahead." Anne gave her a faint smile with appreciation in her beautiful eyes.
After parting ways with Kevin on bad terms that day, their relationship seemed to return to normal. Every time they met, Kevin put on a cold face, but his words were less vicious than in the past.
Even so, Anne was satisfied with how things were now. At least, she didn't have to hear his hurtful words anymore.
One day after work, she was at the bus station, waiting for the bus.
A bright silver Ferrari stopped slowly, and Kevin's handsome face appeared behind the window.
Seeing it was him, Anne looked away on purpose.
"Get in the car! I'm going back too. I'll take you home!" Kevin said impatiently, while frowning with dissatisfaction.
"No, thanks. I have to go to the hospital." Anne didn't want to get in his car at all, not to mention be with him alone.
"What are you going to do in the hospital? Are you not feeling well?" Kevin's frown deepened as an almost imperceptible trace of worry appeared in his black eyes.
"I need to do a prenatal check-up to check the baby's heath." Anne didn't try to hide it because he had the right to be up to date with the baby's health.
At that, a wave of relief washed over Kevin's face. He had thought there was something wrong with her.
"I'll go with you." Somehow, Kevin wanted her to be with him at that moment.
Anne's expression clouded up irritably. She had just enjoyed two peaceful days. What did he want to do now?
"No, thanks. I want to go by myself!" Her voice was cold and alienated.
"The baby is mine. I have the right to know everything about him!" Kevin replied with a serious expression. He wanted to remind her of his role in that situation.
She had always been a stubborn woman, and that gave him a really hard time.
Rendered speechless by Kevin's words, Anne felt even more annoyed. She kept standing there with no intention of getting in the car.
"Anne, do you want me to carry you inside?" At her stubbornness, Kevin's face darkened and his tone grew aggressive.
How could that woman ignore his requests? Damn it! When did he become so invisible!
His way of threatening was really unique!
Throwing him a cold stare, Anne had planned to stand her ground till the end, but she felt pressured by the strange looks of the people around her.
"Hey, can you drive your car away? You are in front of the bus!" a middle-aged woman said to Kevin with discontent after drawing near the car.
Her complaint didn't annoy him. On the contrary, he looked at Anne with a smile.
"If you don't get in the car, I won't move from here. What do you think these women will do? Will they criticize you?"
Flashing a playful smirk, Kevin wanted to see how tough that little woman was.
Anne glowered at him. That man was really annoying!
Gritting her teeth, she got in the car and slammed the door shut, as if she was taking her anger out on it.
"This car is worth twenty-six million dollars. If you break the door, you will probably have to pay me over a million for the reparation."
Kevin turned to look at Anne with a content smile on his lips.
That woman looked cute when she was angry.
Over a million? Was he ripping her off?
Although she was intimidated by the figure Kevin had mentioned, Anne maintained her composure.
"Your car is so expensive. How come would it break so easily? Is it made of paper?" Anne retorted coldly, refusing to be outdone. She knew that Kevin was deliberately trying to blame her.
"You used too much strength. No matter how expensive the car is, the door can still break if you slam it like that." Kevin was amused by her angry look.
She held a color ultrasound picture in front of the two and pointed at a blurry figure.
"Look. This is your child. It is still young and not fully developed. But it is very healthy."
Although it was just a vague spot, Anne seemed to feel her child as she stared at the picture.
A satisfied smile blossomed on her face. She hadn't been so happy in a long time.
Kevin looked at her in amazement. Her beautiful and simple smile seemed to shake off the numbness in his eyes.
Seeing her joy, he couldn't help but smile too. His state of mind seemed to have improved recently because of her smile.
As she walked out of the hospital, Anne couldn't take her eyes off the ultrasound picture she was holding tightly in her hand.
"It's just a blurry picture. Is it worth for you to be so happy?"
Kevin was quite puzzled and couldn't figure out what that woman was thinking. Was she satisfied so easily?
He clearly remembered that she cared about fame and fortune very much. Otherwise, she would not have asked to be the vice president of the company when she promised to give birth to his child.
"The baby is not in your body. You can't feel what it is like to be a mother." Cradling the ultrasound picture carefully in her hands, she looked ahead.
From that day on, she would save every examination sheet of the baby and keep them safe. After all, the time he grew in her body was the only time she could spend with him.
After the birth, she would never see her child again, so she had to make some memories with him.
"Anne, I advise you not to get too attached to this baby, or you will be the only one who will suffer in the end."
The loving look on her face annoyed Kevin even more. He couldn't help but imagine how hurt this woman would be after getting separated from her child.
"Kevin, do you think everyone is as cold-blooded as you? Whether I love my child or not has nothing do to with you!"
What was that man taking about? Why didn't he let her love her child? She didn't understand how he could be so ruthless.
"You know I won't let you see each other after the baby is born. I said that for your own good."
Kevin looked at Anne with a frown quickly forming on his forehead. Did she understand that he did it for her good? He just didn't want her to suffer in the future.
Kevin's words cut through her chest like a sharp sword, draining all the color from her face. She felt sad at the thought that she would never see her child after it was born.
