Emily had known Sam for so many years. If he really liked her, how could she not feel it at all?
And she knew the one he liked was Anne.
"Anne, you don't have to comfort me. I'm fine with it." Emily smiled bitterly, her tone disappointed.
Seeing her so unconfident, Anne frowned helplessly.
One had to learn some things by oneself, because other people's experiences were only suggestions.
"Well, I believe that you two can be together. But now the most important thing is to work. Don't think
about these things anymore."
Anne didn't want to see her upset, so she smiled and changed the topic.
"Well, I'll go and sort out the real estate information for you first." Emily was a very dedicated assistant.
When she heard what Anne had just said, she immediately started to focus on her work.
"Go ahead." Anne gave her a faint smile with appreciation in her beautiful eyes.
After parting ways with Kevin on bad terms that day, their relationship seemed to return to normal.
Every time they met, Kevin put on a cold face, but his words were less vicious than in the past.
Even so, Anne was satisfied with how things were now. At least, she didn't have to hear his hurtful
words anymore.
One day after work, she was at the bus station, waiting for the bus.
A bright silver Ferrari stopped slowly, and Kevin's handsome face appeared behind the window.
Seeing it was him, Anne looked away on purpose.
"Get in the car! I'm going back too. I'll take you home!" Kevin said impatiently, while frowning with
dissatisfaction.
"No, thanks. I have to go to the hospital." Anne didn't want to get in his car at all, not to mention be with
him alone.
"What are you going to do in the hospital? Are you not feeling well?" Kevin's frown deepened as an
almost imperceptible trace of worry appeared in his black eyes.
"I need to do a prenatal check-up to check the baby's heath." Anne didn't try to hide it because he had
the right to be up to date with the baby's health.
At that, a wave of relief washed over Kevin's face. He had thought there was something wrong with her.
"I'll go with you." Somehow, Kevin wanted her to be with him at that moment.
Anne's expression clouded up irritably. She had just enjoyed two peaceful days. What did he want to do
now?
"No, thanks. I want to go by myself!" Her voice was cold and alienated.
"The baby is mine. I have the right to know everything about him!" Kevin replied with a serious
expression. He wanted to remind her of his role in that situation.
She had always been a stubborn woman, and that gave him a really hard time.
Rendered speechless by Kevin's words, Anne felt even more annoyed. She kept standing there with no
intention of getting in the car.
"Anne, do you want me to carry you inside?" At her stubbornness, Kevin's face darkened and his tone
grew aggressive.
How could that woman ignore his requests? Damn it! When did he become so invisible!
His way of threatening was really unique!
Throwing him a cold stare, Anne had planned to stand her ground till the end, but she felt pressured by
the strange looks of the people around her.
"Hey, can you drive your car away? You are in front of the bus!" a middle-aged woman said to Kevin
with discontent after drawing near the car.
Her complaint didn't annoy him. On the contrary, he looked at Anne with a smile.
"If you don't get in the car, I won't move from here. What do you think these women will do? Will they
criticize you?"
Flashing a playful smirk, Kevin wanted to see how tough that little woman was.
Anne glowered at him. That man was really annoying!
Gritting her teeth, she got in the car and slammed the door shut, as if she was taking her anger out on
it.
"This car is worth twenty-six million dollars. If you break the door, you will probably have to pay me over
a million for the reparation."
Kevin turned to look at Anne with a content smile on his lips.
That woman looked cute when she was angry.
Over a million? Was he ripping her off?
Although she was intimidated by the figure Kevin had mentioned, Anne maintained her composure.
"Your car is so expensive. How come would it break so easily? Is it made of paper?" Anne retorted
coldly, refusing to be outdone. She knew that Kevin was deliberately trying to blame her.
"You used too much strength. No matter how expensive the car is, the door can still break if you slam it
like that." Kevin was amused by her angry look.
Left speechless, Anne could only glare at him.
"It's almost time for my appointment with the doctor. Are we going or not?" she asked, while glancing
anxiously at the watch on her wrist.
She couldn't tell how much time she had wasted because of Kevin. But if she had taken the bus, she
would almost be at the hospital at that time.
Throwing her one last look, Kevin started the car and drove toward the hospital.
He was a good driver and made it to their destination quickly.
Standing in the corridor of the hospital, Anne was nervous and expectant.
Kevin was surprised to see her like this. He had never seen her so emotional.
After taking a few deep breaths, Anne knocked on the door of the doctor's office.
"Hello, doctor. I'm Anne," she said, while entering cautiously. "I have an appointment at four o'clock."
"Okay. I'll check your information first." The doctor smiled gently at her and took the documents handed
to her.
"You are in the early stage of pregnancy." The doctor put down the documents after examining them.
"Come and have a check-up with me first."
Anne stood up and followed the doctor into the color ultrasonic room without sparing a glance at Kevin.
He followed them in. While the doctor was carrying out Anne's color ultrasound examination, he was
watching carefully too.
Somehow, it felt like that he was a husband who accompanied his wife for a prenatal check-up.
Anne's heart was pounding nervously in her chest.
After the ultrasound examination, the doctor asked them to wait outside.
"Why are you so nervous?" Seeing the anxiety on Anne's face, Kevin raised his eyebrows and asked in
an indifferent tone, "Do you really care about this child?
The baby is in my body now. Shouldn't I be nervous?" Dissatisfied with Kevin's question, she spoke in
a cold voice.
It was the first time that she had a living being growing inside of her. How could she not be nervous?
Instead of being annoyed with her answer, he felt sorry for her.
As soon as the baby would be born, she was destined to part ways with him forever. Would she be able
to bear such pain?
Just as Kevin was about to say something, the doctor came out of the ultrasonic room.
She held a color ultrasound picture in front of the two and pointed at a blurry figure.
"Look. This is your child. It is still young and not fully developed. But it is very healthy."
Although it was just a vague spot, Anne seemed to feel her child as she stared at the picture.
A satisfied smile blossomed on her face. She hadn't been so happy in a long time.
Kevin looked at her in amazement. Her beautiful and simple smile seemed to shake off the numbness
in his eyes.
Seeing her joy, he couldn't help but smile too. His state of mind seemed to have improved recently
because of her smile.
As she walked out of the hospital, Anne couldn't take her eyes off the ultrasound picture she was
holding tightly in her hand.
"It's just a blurry picture. Is it worth for you to be so happy?"
Kevin was quite puzzled and couldn't figure out what that woman was thinking. Was she satisfied so
easily?
He clearly remembered that she cared about fame and fortune very much. Otherwise, she would not
have asked to be the vice president of the company when she promised to give birth to his child.
"The baby is not in your body. You can't feel what it is like to be a mother." Cradling the ultrasound
picture carefully in her hands, she looked ahead.
From that day on, she would save every examination sheet of the baby and keep them safe. After all,
the time he grew in her body was the only time she could spend with him.
After the birth, she would never see her child again, so she had to make some memories with him.
"Anne, I advise you not to get too attached to this baby, or you will be the only one who will suffer in the
end."
The loving look on her face annoyed Kevin even more. He couldn't help but imagine how hurt this
woman would be after getting separated from her child.
"Kevin, do you think everyone is as cold-blooded as you? Whether I love my child or not has nothing do
to with you!"
What was that man taking about? Why didn't he let her love her child? She didn't understand how he
could be so ruthless.
"You know I won't let you see each other after the baby is born. I said that for your own good."
Kevin looked at Anne with a frown quickly forming on his forehead. Did she understand that he did it for
her good? He just didn't want her to suffer in the future.
Kevin's words cut through her chest like a sharp sword, draining all the color from her face. She felt sad
at the thought that she would never see her child after it was born.
