After an entire day's worth of work, Anne was exhausted. She didn't know if it was just because she was pregnant or if she had just been resting too much recently.
She walked on the streets, feeling irritable when she recalled Kevin's unusual behavior that day.
For the life of her, she couldn't figure out why he would treat Ryan like that in the meeting earlier. It was so uncharacteristic of him.
His mood swings lately had been crazy. It seemed that he was purposely trying to get on her nerves. She didn't know what on earth he wanted her to do then he could let her go.
She absolutely loathed him but for some reason, she couldn't get him off her mind.
Why couldn't she just forget about him? It seemed that he was deeply etched in her heart.
Anne smiled ironically, forcing herself to not think about it anymore. Suddenly, a loud horn blared into her ears.
Eyebrows furrowed together, she looked back and found the black Rolls-Royce following behind her. She already knew who it was.
Scowling, she turned her head away, ignoring Kevin.
"Anne, I'm giving you ten seconds to get in. If you don't, you can't blame me for using force,"
Kevin said spitefully.
More than anything, he hated her indifference towards him. That scowl on her face didn't help either.
'What an overbearing man!'
Anne cursed inwardly. Despite her unwillingness, she had no choice but to get inside the car. After all, she knew this man was capable of doing anything.
She couldn't risk it. It was entirely possible that Kevin would cause a scene out on the streets and she definitely didn't want that.
"Why do you look like that whenever you see me?"
Kevin frowned slightly as he glanced at Anne from the corner of his eye, visibly unhappy. Her face was stone cold as if this was the last place she wanted to be.
"Mr. Kevin, can we talk?"
She needed to talk to him as this was getting out of hand already. At the very least, she wanted to be civil with him before they divorced.
"Okay, what do you want to talk to me about?" Kevin said plainly.
His straightforwardness briefly took Anne aback. Within the next moment, she had collected herself.
"Mr. Kevin, I know you hate me but I hope that we can get along and make peace with each other before we divorce,"
Anne said seriously, looking at him.
"Do you think we're not getting along now?"
Kevin asked coolly. The look on his face was unfathomable but his eyes told her all she needed to know—he wasn't in a good mood.
"Mr. Kevin, don't you think you're becoming more and more irritable? I'm also pretty sure that you're getting more hostile towards me now."
As she recalled all that Kevin had done to her, aversion filled her eyes.
She didn't even know what she had done to offend him yet that didn't stop him from punishing her.
"Did I say I was getting more hostile towards you?" Kevin retorted, his face darkened.
Anne tightened her jaw, seemingly frustrated seeing him being so unreasonable.
"Mr. Kevin, you don't think that what you've been doing to me these past few days is too much?"
"I don't think so," Kevin answered confidently, curling his lips.
Anne was seething but she knew better than to snap at him.
"Mr. Kevin, as soon as I give birth to this baby, we're cutting each other off. Let's just stay away from each other until the divorce, okay?"
Anne said honestly, looking at Kevin expectantly. Surely, this request shouldn't be too difficult for him to agree to.
"You want us to stay away from each other? Anne, are you planning to divorce me now?"
Kevin glowered at her. 'This damn woman wants to stay away from me.'
With the way Kevin was looking at her, she grew flustered.
"Our relationship exists only because of the contract. Once all this is over, I have the right to plan for my future."
Once she gave birth to the baby, he was going to divorce her. Shouldn't she have the freedom to make plans for her life?
"What are you going to do? Are you going to throw yourself into Ryan's arms after divorcing me? Are you forgetting who you are?"
