Daisy took the hint and left when she saw Phillip gazing at Ann.
Phillip approached Ann step by step and forced her to look up.
He frowned and picked Ann up when he saw her pale face and weary eyes.
Ann was shocked and annoyed when Phillip suddenly picked her up and said, "What are you doing? Put me down!"
Wasn't she miserable enough?
However, no matter how hard Ann tried to get rid of Phillip, he just walked out of the company and got into the car, leaving others in shock.
He was so strong that Ann couldn't run away from him. She could do nothing but be held into the car unwillingly.
Ann could imagine how other people in the company would talk about her behind her back.
She suffered so much recently that she could hardly resist. She could just look at Phillip faintly.
"What exactly do you want, Phillip?"
Phillip asked the driver to start while he put one hand on her head and said, "Ann, you need to rest."
Ann was moved but she turned her head and said, "It's none of your business. Drop me off at the next crossing." She was worried about Nikki.
Phillip gave a rare smile as he knew what Ann was thinking and said, "I've already sent someone to pick up Nikki."
Ann was shocked and thought to herself, "If Phillip sends someone to pick up the kid, how would other people think about us?!"
Phillip squinted at Ann with a cold face when he realized that she was somewhat angry.
"What do you want? Get back to Karl?"
Phillip's words calmed Ann down. She was really angry just now, but she was confused, not knowing what to do.
He was right. It was thanks to Karl that she could still hang in there. Karl did a great job in taking care of her and Nikki. He gave her a lot of support and trust.
She really tried hard to fall in love with him, to live with him, and to catch the light in the darkness.
However, what happened recently really exhausted her.
Ann was really weak when she was quiet.
Phillip frowned slightly and sat with Ann quietly instead of disturbing her when he saw that she looked down and seemed to have something in her mind.
He wanted to give her a chance to figure it out. Then Ann picked Nikki up and thanked Phillip with a distant look. She turned down his request to stay with her.
Ann gently held Nikki in her arm. The two of them cuddled up with each other.
Phillip stood behind them with an unprecedentedly soft look.
At this moment, he just hoped that Ann could think it through...
...
It had been a week since Karl fell out with the Moore Group.
Ann never saw Karl ever since.
During this period of time, apart from working, Ann was always thinking whether Karl was the right person for her.
She always thought that love was too much to ask for her ever since she agreed to that deal five years ago. However, Karl somewhat changed her life.
He took care of her meticulously and helped her come out of the sadness patiently...
She was touched and grateful when he told her how he felt about her. He was even ready to be Nikki's stepfather.
Ann was really trying to start a new life together with him.
However, her past meant that she could not live a quiet life with him as she thought.
Karl was a man, so it was impossible for him not to care about her past.
