Cherry frowned when she sensed that Kevin was a little off."Kevin, what's wrong? You look a little
unhappy today." She clung on her lover's arm and almost leaned her whole body against him."Nothing.
I was just thinking about work," he answered indifferently after he threw a glance at the woman."You
promised me you would stay with me the whole day. Can you stop thinking about your work?"Cherry
asked like a spoiled kid after she heard his explanation. A faint smile spread across her lips while she
held onto him.She might have seemed happy but that didn't mean she couldn't feel that Kevin was
being perfunctory towards her.He didn't even look at her today as if he had forgotten that she existed.
She could feel him getting colder and further away from her."Kevin, do you think this one looks good on
me?"She tried to draw back his attention. She picked up a diamond necklace and put it on her
collarbone and stared at her lover expectantly."My Cherry looks good in whatever she wears."He was
not in the mood to choose a necklace for her at all. He only said those words this morning because he
wanted to know whether Anne loved him or not.The little woman seemed to be angry at him this
morning. That could be an indication that she cared for him.His voice sounded like he was pampering
her yet Cherry couldn't feel any of his emotion.Kevin looked around the shop and his gaze fell at a
piece of jewelry that caught his attention. It was a simple necklace with a leaf pendant.He picked up the
accessory and gave out a satisfied smile as he imagined how the necklace would suit the little
woman.His lover noticed him staring at a necklace so she came over curiously. She felt giddy at the
thought of Kevin being so focused on selecting a necklace for her.When she saw the accessory in his
hand and found out that it had no grand style, she frowned. She was not satisfied with his choice."I
don't think that would suit me, Kevin. That's too simple-looking."She preferred to have a piece of high-
end and elegant jewelry on her. She would never pay attention to such a simple style."It might not suit
you, but it will to someone."Although the style was ordinary, it would look good on Anne's neck. She
had a cold personality that made people feel like she was a pretty girl of humble birth. With this simple
but not rustic style, she would definitely look good.Kevin's words made Cherry realize that the necklace
was not for her. Anger immediately burned in her heart. He didn't need to tell her anything, as she
could almost guess for whom the necklace was.Hatred and anger intertwined at the pit of her stomach.
It only made her hate for Anne grow stronger."How about this one? Do you think it's beautiful?" Cherry
held a dazzling diamond necklace crafted with complicated workmanship and handed it to him. She
was expectant once again.She just wanted to draw his attention back to her. Maybe if he could notice
her, he would soon forget about Anne.He glanced at the necklace in his hand and creased his forehead
lightly. If that happened in the past, he would have praised her endlessly. But for some reason, he felt
that she was somewhat vulgar.The jewelry seemed to have no special feature except for being big and
sparkly."As long as you like it,"he answered. Even though he didn't like the necklace in her hand, he
didn't have the heart to say it out loud. After all, he had always thought that he liked Cherry in his
heart.The woman plastered a big smile on her face and tip-toed to give her man a chaste kiss on his
cheek.He turned his head towards her and gave a faint smile, a smile that failed to reach his
eyes.Cherry looked at the diamond necklace in her hand and felt a little proud. A piece of jewelry
bought by Kevin could be worth tens of millions. When she got to be his wife, she could get whatever
she wanted in the world.She bought a lot of luxury goods in just a half-day of their shopping spree.
Every time he swiped his card, Kevin didn't even blink no matter how much he had to pay."Are you
done with your shopping?"He looked at his wristwatch and found out that it was already two o'clock in
the afternoon. He became impatient after he realized that Anne had been alone in the Villa for hours."I
have bought so many things, Kevin. Do you think that I…"Cherry trailed on her words when she saw
the impatience in his eyes. She thought that she had bought too much. She got anxious at the thought
that he might consider her as a materialistic woman.She was worried that her image that she built so
hard in his heart would crumble just because of this."If you like, I could even buy the whole city for
you."He knew that his emotions were too visible in her eyes and this might have got Cherry to overthink
some things.Slowly, remorse clawed in his heart. It felt like he changed into another person. He even
cared about that vicious woman."Kevin, do you think I'm a high-maintenance woman?"she asked. His
words made her inexplicably excited. No woman would not be tempted if the man said things like
that."My Cherry is the most perfect person in my heart. Why would I perceive you as a materialistic
woman? Today the shopping only costs a few million. Do you think I am the type of man who would be
stingy in money when it comes to his woman?"Kevin didn't even think about the money he spent on
her. It wasn't that much of a big deal."That's not what I mean. I just don't want you to think that I'm a
demanding woman."His words made her panic. She quickly reached out and held his arm then rested
her head on his shoulder."I can buy anything I want for my woman. Only those incapable will think that
their women are demanding."He didn't know anything about being materialistic, just like how he didn't
know anything about money."It's getting late. We should go back,"he said coldly and went to his car. He
wasn't in the mood to continue to hang out with her.With one last glance at the luxury goods in her
assistant's hands, Cherry smiled and joined the man in his car.When they returned to the villa, her gaze
fell on the woman who was having her meal past the mealtime.Anne's eyes darkened when she saw
the two of them walk hand in hand. The reason why she ate after lunchtime was because she wanted
to avoid an encounter with them. This coincidence just ruined her day.When Kevin's eyes fell at the
simple meal she had, his eyes turned cold."Who prepared the lunch?"His voice was laced with irritation
and the people in his presence were left to wonder what made him upset.A dead silence fell upon
them. Even Cherry couldn't comprehend the change in his mood."Didn't you hear me?" he asked again
after he got impatient for the lack of response.When everyone came back to their senses, one of the
maids came forward. She stood in front of him as her body trembled in fear."I was the one who
prepared the lunch today, Mr. Kevin," the maid answered cautiously, scared that he might vent his
anger on her.Anne frowned upon the confusion caused by Kevin. 'What's wrong with him? He got angry
as soon as he came back. Was it because Cherry didn't take good care of him when they went out?'
she wondered."Why were you the one that prepared the food? Where is the chef?"Kevin burned in
anger after he saw how simple the pregnant woman's food was. Even the servants in the villa didn't eat
that kind of food."The chef is not feeling well today. Since Mr. Kevin and Miss Cherry went out today,
I…"The maid got scared to proceed with her words when she felt the fuming presence of Kevin."So you
prepared some food for Anne that even servants like you wouldn't eat?"His slender fingers pointed at
her food as his anger continued to rise."I'm sorry Mr. Kevin. I'm going to prepare something else this
instant." The maid was about to walk away but stopped on her way."From now on, you are no longer a
servant of our Fu Family. As for the chef, get out of the villa together! We will never hire people like you
again!"Thinking that whenever he wasn't in the villa, the servants treated Anne this way, he became
more furious.'Isn't this woman very scheming? Did she really have to endure this kind of treatment?' he
thought."Mr. Kevin, I know I was wrong. Please don't fire me…" The maid knelt and begged for
mercy.Her desperation to keep her job was because serving the Fu Family was a good choice. The
salary alone was several times higher than an ordinary white-collared job.Kevin ignored the servant's
plea. His cold eyes had fixed on the pathetic-looking food in front of Anne ever since he arrived.Cherry
got upset after she saw how worked up Kevin was for her cousin's sake. She threw a ferocious look
towards her and quickly walked towards Kevin."Kevin, don't be like this. I don't think the maid did it on
purpose. Don't you think your punishment is too grave?"she cooed him. Her gentle voice contracted the
look in her eyes which were full of malice as they stared at Anne.
