Staring at Kevin in a daze, Anne could tell from the look on his face that he was concerned about her.
Did he genuinely care about her?
She couldn't be sure as he always made it clear to her that all he felt towards her was disgust.
Anne shook the thought away. How could he care about her? Even if he did, it was probably only because of the baby she was carrying.
"Are you dumb? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Kevin couldn't help but be irritated at Anne's lack of response. She used to be so disobedient, but today she actually said nothing.
"I..." Anne clamored for words, not knowing what to say.
"Kevin..." As expected, Cherry was dissatisfied with the shift in his attitude towards Anne. It seemed that she was getting more and more important to him.
"Put it on!" Kevin commanded as he took off his coat and handed it to Anne.
Staring at the coat, Anne found herself absent-minded. Was he really showing concern for her?
Cherry shot a warning look at Anne, her eyes sharp as knives.
Anne frowned, feeling Cherry's burning gaze on her. Not wanting to cause any more trouble, she decided to refuse Kevin's offer.
"No, thanks."
She pushed his hand away, turning her back to him. For the briefest moment, she couldn't help but be moved at Kevin's show of concern towards her.
Cherry sneered as she gaped at Anne's back. 'This bitch is smart. She knows that if she seduces Kevin in front of me, I won't let her get away with it.'
Kevin's hands froze midair, his chest heaving violently.
'Damn it! She refused me again!' He wasn't going to stand by and let this woman refuse him again.
"Put it on. If something goes wrong with the baby, you can't afford to take the responsibility for it."
He forcibly put the coat on Anne's shoulders. He made sure to use his strength so she wouldn't be able to resist.
Anne couldn't help but stunned at the sudden warmth. A strange feeling arose in her heart. Did Kevin really care about her?
If she wasn't sure before, she was sure now. Even though he mentioned the baby, she could still feel his concern for her.
"Thank you..." she said in a small voice, lowering her head.
Kevin wasn't able to help himself as a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. He didn't know why but seeing her accept his gesture lightened up his mood.
"You're my wife. You don't need to thank me."
He didn't want her to be polite to him like this. He liked it better if she just accepted it naturally.
"……"
Anne was rendered speechless. He wasn't holding back on declaring his possessiveness over her.
"Let's go." All of a sudden, Anne's stomach grumbled much to her embarrassment.
"Are you hungry?"
Kevin broke out into a smile. He found her adorable so much so that he wanted to pinch her cheeks.
"Hmm... A little," Anne said honestly.
"Well, then, let's have dinner!" As he said this, he walked towards the car, opened the door, and got in.
Initially, Anne intended to refuse, unable to bear Cherry's cold gaze anymore. However, she couldn't ignore her hunger any longer.
After hesitating for a bit, she decided to get in the car. She needed to prioritize her health after all. If she wasn't pregnant, she had no problems starving but she had to think about the baby.
As soon as she began walking towards Kevin's car, Cherry caught up with her, glaring at her.
"Anne, I'm warning you. You'd better stay away from Kevin or I'll make you pay for this!"
'If you want to get in my way, don't blame me for being ruthless,' Cherry thought to herself in spite. Never in a million years would she allow anyone to take Kevin away from her.
"It's not like you treat me any other way. You're nothing but mean to me 24/7," Anne spat. The annoyance on her face was palpable.
