Anne knew Selma was gone, but that didn't help her mood any. Despair, melancholy, they threatened to suffocate her. She decided to go outside and get some fresh air.
She had to get out of the villa. The only things it had to offer her were hostile vibes and despondency.
She put on a coat and tiptoed downstairs. When she walked out of the villa, she felt like she had just walked out of a cage. Even the air tasted free.
"Kevin, did I do something to piss you off? You seem a little distant lately."
After thinking about this for a while, Cherry raised her beautiful eyes, hurt reflected in them. She was very uneasy now. She was really worried that Kevin did not love her as much as before.
As he heard Cherry's sad words, a trace of impatience flashed in Kevin's black eyes, but there was a hint of heartache there.
"Cherry, what are you saying? How could you make me angry? You've always been the most thoughtful woman. You have a special place in my heart," Kevin answered softly, pinching her cheek.
There was a faint smile in his black eyes, but it wasn't from deep in his heart.
Although Cherry got the answer, she was still troubled. She looked him directly in the eye and asked again,
"So why do I still feel bad? It seems like you've been closed off to me for awhile. Kevin, don't you love me anymore?"
She gave him a pitiful look, and the tears in her eyes made her seem lost in the depths of despair.
When he saw her like this, his heart softened completely.
"Why wouldn't I love you? You've always been my one and only. But I have a lot on my plate now. Running the company takes all my time. I'm sorry if it feels like I'm ignoring you. After things settle down we'll take a trip to travel abroad, okay?" Kevin said in a quiet, magnetic voice.
He pulled Cherry into his arms and put his chin on top of her head.
Holding his waist greedily, Cherry didn't want to let him go. She remembered how he acted around Anne, and there was fear in Cherry's tone.
"Kevin, I really love you, and I'm afraid of losing you. I know you hate to see me like this, but I really can't help thinking this way."
When Cherry said this, she couldn't stop herself from bursting into tears. Feeling the hot tears, Kevin lowered his head and wiped them away.
"Don't overthink it. You just need to know that you're the only woman in my heart. You are my sweetheart."
He gently touched Cherry's nose. His voice was full of tenderness.
Every time he saw Cherry like this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
But she knew just how to play Kevin just like a fiddle. She wanted him to feel guilty for ignoring her. That was why she acted like this.
"I know you won't let me down, Kevin. We'll always be together, right?"
She looked up at Kevin, her beautiful eyes full of nervous expectation.
"I won't let you down." After saying this firmly, Kevin held her tightly in his arms again.
It was not until quite a while later that they separated...
"Cherry, I have work to do. You can go to your room and get some sleep."
Although he had another woman in his arms, he couldn't help thinking about how Anne was doing. He wondered if she were still angry about what happened tonight.
Although he cared for Anne, he always told himself that he cared about her only because of the baby she carried.
"I get it. You're busy. So go ahead and get that done. I'm going to bed,"
Cherry said this amiably, reluctant to leave his arms. She kissed his cheek before walking off.
After Cherry left, Kevin felt like a great burden had been lifted from him. The gentleness in his eyes disappeared quickly.
He wanted to go to check Anne, but he gave up the idea because of what had just happened. He kept telling himself that the woman he loved most was Cherry. He couldn't make Cherry feel uneasy because of Anne.
No matter how much he tried to push it away, the restlessness in his heart did not disappear. It was late at night, but he wasn't tired at all.
When he came downstairs, an icy wind blew and Anne's face flashed through his mind.
He must be crazy, otherwise why would he always think of this woman?
He looked out of the villa and saw a familiar figure. Anne walked along the sidewalk, alone, outside the villa.
Frowning, Kevin felt a little annoyed.
It was so cold outside, but this woman braved the winds and winter chill. Didn't she know she was still pregnant? Did she know how to take care of herself?
Kevin strode toward Anne, determined to teach this little woman a lesson.
