"She should feel lucky that she is pregnant with my child. Otherwise, I won't let her go easily for treating you like this!"
With a snort, Kevin looked down at Anne, his eyes were fiery and intimidating.
"Kevin, I know you feel sorry for me, but don't be too angry. I don't want to see you like this,"
Cherry said pretending to be distressed. She clung to Kevin's arms with a sardonic smile on her face.
"Then let's leave her alone. Let's go!"
Kevin said in a cold tone. He didn't want to see Anne's indifferent face that made people want to tear her apart, so he put his arms around Cherry's shoulder and walked away.
When he passed by Anne, he suddenly stopped. Cherry looked at him with a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.
"By the way, my mother is coming tonight. I think you should know what to do!" After saying that, he left with Cherry in his arms. Anne was left no chance to speak.
She stood still, and waited until the two disappeared in front of her. She looked up to the sky and tried to hold back the tears in her eyes.
She wouldn't cry for him anymore. There were no tears left to cry for him.
When she returned to her room, she changed into a more dignified and elegant dress. The light purple dress made her fair skin more delicate.
There was no makeup on her face either. It made her look clean and comfortable. Since her features were very delicate, even without makeup, she was still undeniably beautiful.
It was almost dinner time. Anne waited in the living room early. Although the people of the Fu Family didn't like her, she was the nominal wife of Kevin, so she had to show respect for the elders.
Soon, footsteps were heard from outside the living room. Cherry held the arm of Kevin's mother, Selma. The two walked in, talking and laughing.
When Anne saw them coming, she was surprised. Since when did Cherry become so familiar with Kevin's mother?
However, at this moment, Anne had no time to overthink about it. She stood up and walked towards Selma in a hurry.
"Mom…" Anne uttered the word awkwardly. She slightly lowered her head and didn't dare to look into Selma's eyes.
Seeing the submissive look on Anne's face, Selma showed a look of disgust and impatience.
"Oh Mrs. Anne, your shelf is quite large, I didn't see you until I came in. I am welcome here, am I?"
Selma looked at Anne coldly with obvious repugnance on her face.
It was obvious in her very first sentence that she despised Anne so much. Anne slightly frowned and said respectfully, while bearing the displeasure in her heart,
"No, mom, you are thinking too much."
Anne tried to hide her pain in front of them. Although Selma would no longer be her mother-in-law after the baby was born, she still had to respect her before the divorce.
"Don't call me mom, Mrs. Anne. You should be very clear about the relationship between you and my son. You two are just a contractual couple. After you give birth to the child, we will have nothing to do with each other. So, you'd better stop calling me mom from now on."
In Selma's mind, a vain and vicious woman like Anne didn't deserve to be her daughter-in-law. In her mind, the best choice for her son was Cherry.
She saw Cherry as a dignified, kind-hearted, and most of all a refined woman. There was definitely no place for Anne in the Fu Family.
Anne's face turned pale in embarrassment. She was barely holding back her emotions.
Cherry felt so triumphant after witnessing how Selma hated Anne so much. She obviously hoped that Selma would hate Anne even more. But she pretended to be a good person, and spoke for Anne,
"Auntie, Anne is pregnant with Kevin's child. She probably didn't pick you up because she was not feeling well. Please don't be angry."
Cherry acted like she came from a humble family. She spoke softly, and her words were full of sincerity. This just made Selma more satisfied and determined to be her future mother-in-law.
"Cherry, that's so considerate of you. I just came here today to check on Kevin. I didn't expect you to pick me up personally. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Selma seemed to be an angel when she talked to Cherry. It was as if she became a completely different person. Her smile was so sweet, and her eyes could definitely tell how much she wanted Cherry as her future daughter-in-law.
"Auntie, how can you say that? You are Kevin's mother. It will always be my pleasure to treat you this way,"
Cherry answered politely.
