Anne looked at the man in front of her and rolled her eyes. She couldn't help herself but complain in
her heart, Was this man crazy? Did he wait in her room for her to wake up, so they could have dinner
together?
She knew it was ridiculous of her to think this way. However, if Kevin really appeared in her room for
this sole reason, then he must be out of his mind.
She was already hungry, so she shook her and decided not to think about the reason why he was in
her room.
Her priority at the moment was to fill her stomach. She didn't mind getting hungry but she didn't have
the heart to starve the baby in her belly.
She got out of her bed and followed Kevin to the dining room. It was already late in the evening, and all
the servants and chefs had already gone to bed.
She looked around the kitchen and sighed helplessly when she found out that there was no ready-
made food that could ease her hunger.
It was ironic because in that fancy kitchen, except for some fresh ingredients, there was nothing that
could fill her stomach.
She heaved a sigh again. It seemed that she had to cook something herself. Otherwise, she would
starve until dawn, and there was no way she could endure that.
She took a quick look inside the fridge, but she was disappointed when she realized that most of them
were imported from abroad. She had never seen such ingredients, let alone made them into something
she could eat.
She hesitated for a moment and finally took out two tomatoes, a couple of eggs, and noodles that she
pulled out from the pantry.
She rolled up her sleeves and was about to cook when she realized that Kevin was there with her. He
was standing just a few paces away from her. Even though she didn't like the man at all, it would be
awkward if he just stood there and watched her eat alone later.
"Are you hungry? Would you like to have some too?" she asked carefully; her eyes weren't as cold as
usual.
"Okay," Kevin replied with a lazy voice.
"Alright, just wait for a bit. It'll be ready soon."
Anne started to cook the noodles while he sat by the table and watched her cook.
As he observed her every move, for some reason, he found her charming while she was cooking. Just
the idea that a woman was in his kitchen and was preparing midnight snacks for him made him feel
warm inside. This was something he hadn't felt before.
Anne finished her task after half an hour. She put the bowls of noodles on the table and handed one of
the bowls to Kevin.
"This is the dinner you prepared for such a long time?"
he asked with dissatisfaction. He frowned and stared at the noodles in his bowl. Since childhood, he
had never had such a simple supper.
"I'm not familiar with many of the ingredients in the fridge and it's already late. I don't have much time to
prepare something grand. If you don't want to eat, then suit yourself."
His ungratefulness fumed her a little. She cooked a bowl of noodles for him out of kindness, but all he
could do was stare at the food with disgusted eyes.
Anne stretched out her hands and tried to take the noodles back, but Kevin, who had sharp eyes and
agile hands, quickly moved the bowl away from her.
"Mr. Kevin, I thought you didn't want to eat such a simple dinner?" she asked sarcastically. The corners
of her mouth twitched at his antics.
"I never said that I didn't want to eat it," he retorted confidently. Anne's mockery failed to embarrass
him.
What an indecisive man!
Anne couldn't help but be speechless at how contradicting his personality was. He was obviously
disgusted, and yet he insisted on eating the food.
Her stomach growled and hunger came again. She decided not to argue with Kevin anymore, so she
lowered her head and began to eat.
She quickly ate her food, and comfort overwhelmed her when the hunger disappeared.
A wistful smile appeared on Kevin's lips when he saw her eating heartily. As if that was his cue, he
proceeded to eat his meal.
He ate the noodles quickly but he didn't gobble them up. Instead, the way he ate exuded a sense of
refined elegance.
He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth gracefully after he had finished all the noodles and drank
the soup.
"Don't put scallion in the noodles next time. I don't like it!" His indifferent tone made it seem like this
kind of conversation was a usual thing for them.
Anne stopped in the middle of her meal, stunned by his words. 'Next time? What is he trying to say?
Does it mean that I would cook noodles for him again in the future?
What did he mean about hating the scallion? He had eaten everything, and yet he dared to complain
about the scallion?
If he didn't like it, then how come he almost ate up the bowl?' she thought and frowned slightly at his
contradiction.
"You better not put eggs in it either!" He straightened his sleeves and looked at Anne.
Anne furrowed her eyebrows. She could only stare at him with her mouth ajar because of how
shameless he was.
"Mr. Kevin, I remember that you looked very disgusted earlier. Now you're giving me so many
reminders? Did you realize that the noodles I cooked for you were good enough for your refined
tastes?"
The irony in her words was very obvious. Anne couldn't bear this man's arrogance and imperial
posture.
"It was not terrible," he answered in a calm manner. He then looked at the woman with his devilishly
attractive smile.
In her eyes, his smile looked annoying and she wanted to give him a beating, but she didn't have the
guts to do it.
It was the first time that she had found out how shameless Kevin was.
"Mr. Kevin, if you don't like it, you can go find your sweetheart and ask her to cook something you like."
She thought that if the noodles tonight were made by Cherry, Kevin would not be so stingy with praises.
His face darkened when Anne mentioned Cherry's name. 'Damn it! How could she mention her at a
time like this? I had been nice to her, but she just had to ruin the moment!'
"Anne, haven't I warned you before? Do you want me to warn you again?"
Kevin's face was as cold as ice, and the tone of his voice was obviously threatening.
"You don't have to remind me. I remember it very clearly."
Anne's heart was filled with dissatisfaction because she knew that he was upset again. She didn't have
the courage to go against this man.
Instead of talking back, she just lowered her head unwillingly and continued to eat. Her thin pink lips
that were stained by the soup looked glossy under the light.
He stared at her and swallowed thickly. His Adam's apple visibly moved as he realized how attractive
she was.
He had always been a man who never suppressed himself, so he stood up and strode towards her. He
looked down at her condescendingly as desire clouded his black eyes.
Anne looked up when she saw a shadow hovering above her. She was surprised when she saw how
he stared at her. Fear suddenly engulfed her eyes. Was he going to settle accounts with her just
because of what she had said?
"I know I said something wrong. I apologize for that." Anne stood up abruptly to apologize to Kevin,
hoping he would forgive her.
"Don't you think it's too late to apologize now? You've provoked me several times. I think it's time to
teach you a lesson."
He looked down at her in a condescending manner. The flustered woman that looked like a deer
caught by the headlights made his heart beat faster.
"Mr. Kevin, I… Well..."
Before she had the chance to finish her sentence, Kevin tightly pressed his lips against hers. Her eyes
widened in surprised at his brazen act.
Kevin was kissing her? He was kissing her!!! . .
Immersed in her mind battle, she completely forgot to resist and let him kiss her. Her mind went blank
and she couldn't come to her senses.
When she was able to fully comprehend what happened, she pushed him away. This man obviously
took advantage of the relationship she had with him.
"Isn't it too late for you to resist now?"
He let go of her for a moment and smiled mischievously. Without further ado, he pulled her closer and
kissed her again.
Anne tried her best to resist him by pushing him away with both of her hands.
The woman was like a wild cat. The more she resisted, the more he desired her.
He felt how hard she clenched her teeth. He raised his eyebrows and flashed a grin.
Anne was already fuming. She was so angry that she wanted to slap him. However, he held her so
tightly that there was no room for her to resist.
"Anne, I advise you to stop resisting. I'm sure you'll be mine tonight."
Her body trembled slightly, and she was absent-minded for a moment. It was too late when she
realized that her body had been picked up by Kevin. Then he carried her towards her room.
The man placed her on the bed gently and easily restrained her arms. Her face was flushed red in
anger, but he only smiled at her.
"Your resistance is futile, Anne. Just close your eyes and let it happen."
His voice felt magical, and for a moment, Anne had forgotten how to struggle.
