As soon as Sam left, Kevin came back to Anne's room. The moment he entered, he glared at her
coldly.
'I haven't done anything wrong, have I?' Anne wondered. The silence between them grew uneasily as
they stared each other down.
"I assume that your Sam is gone?"
Finally, Kevin spoke up as he slowly walked up to her. The darkness in his eyes never wavered. The
thought of how Sam had cared for her just now was making him deeply upset.
Frowning, Anne narrowed her eyes at Kevin unhappily. Was he... jealous? Did he think that there was
something between her and Sam?
"Wait... 'My' Sam? What do you mean by that exactly?"
Anne crossed her arms over her chest. There was a spitefulness in her tone as she raised her eyebrow
at him. This man acted so strange recently.
"Do I have to spell it out for you? I can see how close you are with him." With his thoughts completely
preoccupied, Kevin didn't even notice the jealously in his own tone.
"I don't think I need to explain my relationship with Sam to you, Mr. Kevin!"
Even though she heard the jealousy in his voice, Anne figured that he was only acting that way
because of his unreasonable possessiveness and nothing more.
With his face growing even darker, he leaned over towards her, putting his face merely centimeters
away from hers. His nostrils flared with anger.
"You don't need to explain to me? Don't forget that you're still my wife!"
His hands balled up into fists at his side as he gritted his teeth. In his mind, she was still her woman.
How could he let her say something like that to him?
"Wife? Are you kidding me? Our marriage meant nothing! In case you forgot, we only got married
because we had an agreement. But if we're going by your logic, maybe you'd also want to explain your
relationship with Cherry to me!"
Anne sneered disdainfully at Kevin as she held her ground.
It didn't make sense to her that he would act up all of a sudden. Both of them knew that their marriage
was just a superficial one. Yet, here he was now, acting as if they were really husband and wife!
Kevin's eyes burned with anger the moment she mentioned Cherry.
"Don't try to change the subject right now, damn it! Are you trying to piss me off?"
'This woman! Why can't she just stop mentioning Cherry?!'
"I'm just telling it as it is. Why, are you telling me there's nothing going on between you two?" Even
though he was already fuming, Anne boldly confronted him.
How could this man be so domineering and unreasonable? He was the one who stormed into her room
and questioned her relationship with Sam. And yet when she was the one asking questions, he started
getting all defensive!
"You've always known what she means a lot to me. Do I really have to explain it to you again?"
Kevin said slowly when he stared at Anne's beautiful face. He tried his best to suppress as much of his
anger as he could.
A mischievous smile crept up the corners of his lips. It was the perfect time for him to find out how
Anne would react when he talked about Cherry, to see whether or not she would get upset.
Taking a step back, he shrugged indifferently. "My relationship with Cherry is--"
"Enough! I don't want to hear it!"
Before he could get another word out, Anne snapped at him. Even though Kevin was not able to finish
his sentence, her heart started to ache. It was difficult for her to hear anything about his intimacy with
that woman.
"Anne, are you angry?"
The pain in her eyes were as plain as day. When he saw how much she cared, there was an
undeniable happiness and satisfaction that surged through Kevin.
"No, I just don't want to hear anything about you two. Who cares about who you're with? It has nothing
to do with me!"
With a scoff, Anne turned away from him, trying her best to keep her emotions in order.
"Really? Is that so? So I guess you don't mind what happened between me and Cherry, right?"
Once again, Kevin was getting frustrated at her stubbornness. What did he have to do to make this
woman admit that she cared about him!
"Yes, I don't mind at all. I don't care if she's just your friend or if you two are sleeping with each other.
Your business is your own. I don't need an explanation from you!"
As she spoke, Anne kept her gaze away from Kevin. She knew that if she cast one glance at him, she
might not be able to hold in what she was really feeling.
In truth, she badly wanted to tell him how much pain his involvement with Cherry was causing her.
Every time she saw them being together intimately, sadness and hate overwhelmed her entire being.
"Say that again to my face. Say it!"
Kevin fumed. 'How can she be this firm? Doesn't she care about me at all?!'
Finally, she looked back at him. Although she was intending to say her words directly at his face, she
found herself unable to do so.
Other than the fact that she didn't want to push her luck with his anger, she could feel the desolation in
his voice.
"Please, just get out. I'm tired. I don't want to talk to you anymore"
All this arguing had Anne feeling completely drained. It was just hard for her to figure out what Kevin
wanted at this point. No matter what she said, he always had something to say against her.
"What if I say no?" he asked sternly.
There had never been a woman who drove him away so persistently. He was really pissed off.
This made him want her to be submissive to him more. With a sense of pride, he raised his chin as he
glared at her.
'This man is really shameless to the extreme!' Anne thought.
"If you're so insistent on staying, then stay. Do whatever you want. Either way, I'm tired and I'm going to
bed!"
Afterwards, she quickly turned around and slumped into her mattress. With her back towards him, she
took a deep breath and tightly closed her eyes.
'I don't care! Do what you want. I just need you out of my head!' she screamed in her mind.
Frowning, Kevin clicked his tongue in annoyance, thinking of what he should do.
For a while, Anne calmed down, thinking that he would finally leave her alone now that she was
ignoring him completely. Unfortunately, she didn't know Kevin well enough. Not long after, he walked up
to the bed and lay down beside her.
"What are you doing?!" She tried to push him off the bed but to no avail. Before she knew it, he had his
arms tightly around her.
"I'm tired too! Can't I rest here?" He held on to her and didn't let her go no matter how hard she tried to
push him away.
"You have your own room! Get out of here!"
Heat rushed up her face as anger filled her heart. She couldn't believe the way this man acted! Did he
really think she was some pushover, someone he could bully whenever he desired?
"Is it so wrong that I want to sleep with you in my arms?! You are my wife! You're obliged to sleep with
me!" Kevin said coldly, his tone domineering. The more she pushed away, the tighter he held onto her
body.
'This guy is unbelievable! How does he still have the audacity to say something like that?!' At this point,
she really wanted to kick him down.
"You have so many women around you. Just flash them a smile and I'm sure they'll come running to
make you happy."
Sarcasm oozed in her tone as she sneered at him. She kept thinking about what an awful person Kevin
was to her. He didn't even love her to begin with and yet he was asking so much from her.
Just when she was about to push him even harder, Kevin leaned in and kissed her.
'What--!' Her face got even redder.
Her eyes widened in anger. "Are you serious?! You're so shameless!" All of her patience had
completely disappeared at this point. She stared at him with resentment and disbelief.
"Shameless? Come on. Say that again!" he threatened.
"Kevin, you--!"
With his face so close to hers, she couldn't bring herself to repeat those words. As a last resort, she
tried again to push him away without much success.
"Anne..." Kevin whispered in her ear, his voice abruptly low and charming.
Her heart skipped a beat. All of a sudden, she was unable to move, fearing that he might do something
out of line.
It wasn't because she was thinking of her own well-being. Even though they had already slept together,
she was still pregnant. If anything happened, it might jeopardize the baby's health.
"Kevin, get a grip on yourself. I'm not Cherry, okay?" she said through her teeth.
Why was he doing this to her now? In her heart, she knew that the person he wanted was Cherry.
"I know what I'm doing. But if you ever mention that woman's name again, don't think for a second that
I don't have my ways of punishing you."
'Damn! How dare she mention another woman's name at such a moment! What a fool she is!'
When Anne heard what he said, her lips pressed into a fine line. There was no way she would dare to
say anything more now. She was really afraid that he would really do something to her if he was angry.
"Fine. But I'm really tired. For the sake of the baby, just let me rest," Anne said cautiously, observing
carefully how he would react.
At first, Kevin didn't want to let go of her, but when he heard what she said, his hold of her loosened a
bit. Of course he was worried about the baby as much as she was. Even so, it irritated him that he
wasn't able to get his way.
After a while, his eyes lit up. "The doctor said that the first three months are dangerous period, and you
will be fine afterwards," he said in a low voice. "If my memory serves me right, you'll be three months
into your pregnancy in a few days."
There was a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone, though he had tried hard to suppress it.
