Even though Kevin was visibly angry, Anne refused to believe that it was all because he cared about
her. If anything, it was probably because of the baby.The maid looked at Cherry expectantly. Everyone
knew that Kevin loved her. Perhaps he would change his mind with her by his side.However, to their
surprise, he didn't calm down as they had assumed."Why are you still standing there? Didn't you
understand what I just said?" Kevin said coldly, and his face dimmed."Kevin, what's wrong with you
today? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"Cherry felt a little embarrassed at how Kevin ignored
her. This was the first time that he hadn't paid attention to what she had said."Don't make me repeat
myself for the third time!" Kevin spat.The servants left in a hurry out of utter fear. Even Cherry was
frightened of him.Anne frowned as she looked at the outraged Kevin. She couldn't help but wonder
what had happened to him that made him behave this way. Would he take his anger out on her?"I'm
full. I'm going back to my room." She wasn't interested in spending any more time around the two. As
much as possible, she wanted to avoid them.This only angered Kevin further. It was obvious that Anne
was trying to purposely avoid him."Anne, stop!" Kevin approached her, anger burning in his charcoal
eyes.'Oh my God! He's going to take his anger out on me!'"What can I do for you?" Anne asked calmly
as she turned around, eyeing Kevin gravely."Are you trying to avoid me?" he mumbled, obviously
pissed.Anne seemed unfazed."No..." she said lightly, keeping her composure."Oh really? Then why did
you leave the minute you saw me?" he asked questioningly. The displeasure on his face was hard to
ignore."Kevin, you seem to be in a bad mood. I'm afraid your temper will only worsen if I'm around.
After all, I am the person you hate the most,"Anne said spitefully. With the way he was treating her after
their night together, her anger was definitely warranted."Did I ever say that?" Kevin asked unhappily.
When did he ever say that he hated her?"You've always hated me, right?" Anne retorted, staring him
down.A fresh swell of rage rose inside him upon hearing this.'Damn it! She really knows how to fight
back now.'"Why didn't you say anything when the maid served you that scrappy meal just now?" 'Damn
this woman!Now she is really getting more and more sharp-tongued. But why didn't she tell the maid
off?'Scrappy? Was the food she had eaten just nothing but scrap to him now?"I thought the food was
good. What's wrong with that?"While she knew that the maid deliberately made things difficult for her at
home whenever Kevin wasn't around, the food she was being served was still much better than any
ordinary family's meals."Good? Anne, do you not care about yourself or the baby you're carrying? Don't
forget that you're still pregnant with my child!"'Is this damn woman purposely trying to get on my
nerves? She was served pure rubbish and she claims it was good!' Kevin thought inwardly.Anne
realized that he was just concerned about the baby.She smiled bitterly, and a hint of disappointment
could be detected in her eyes. She hoped that Kevin was genuinely concerned about her but she knew
that was just wishful thinking. All he cared about was the baby in her stomach."I'll be careful more in
the future," Anne said calmly as she lowered her gaze.Kevin intended to chastise her further. When he
saw the look on her face, he became even more irritated.Cherry was seething, shooting daggers at
Anne. Kevin was beginning to genuinely care about Anne all the while forgetting about her."Kevin, calm
down. What's going on with you today? You were so happy earlier but the minute we came back, you
lost your temper."Smiling, Cherry neared towards Kevin as she leaned her body against him.Feeling
her weight against him, he frowned in impatience, annoyance sparking in his eyes."Cherry, go back to
your room and rest. I have some work to do."Having spent the entire day with Cherry, he had grown
tired of her—for some reason, he didn't want to be around her any longer."All right, I'll go back to my
room. Come spend time with me after you're done with your work." She then glared at Anne before
heading upstairs.After Cherry had left, Kevin and Anne were now alone in the living room. The
atmosphere was thick with tension."I'm going back to my room to rest." Anne glanced at him, visibly
uneasy. She turned, intending to leave."Stop!" Kevin commanded. He walked in front of her, eyeing her
coldly."Anne, you're not allowed to leave without my permission." 'This damn woman avoids me like I'm
the plague.''How domineering,' Anne thought to herself."What can I do for you, Mr. Kevin? If there's
nothing else, can I go back to my room now and rest?" She forced a smile, shoving aside the
displeasure that arose in her chest."No way!"The corners of Anne's mouth twitched. She was at a loss
for words and she couldn't help but feel that Kevin was doing this on purpose to spite her.What on
earth did she do to offend him? He got all riled up every time he saw her."Mr. Kevin, what do you want?
What did I do wrong?" Anne asked sharply, peering up at him."Did I say you did something wrong?"
Kevin retorted, arching his eyebrows.His tone made Anne unhappy. Now she was sure that he was just
trying to get to her."Kevin, what on earth do you want? What do you want me to do?"He was trying to
get on her nerves. She had a limit too and he was quickly inciting her temper."Go to your room!"Kevin
said indifferently. He wasn't angry because of her rude words. He only shoot her a cold glance and
walked away first.As she watched him head to her room, she was rendered speechless.After hesitating
for a moment, she finally followed him.As soon as she entered the room, the door was slammed
shut.Before she could even react, Kevin immediately pulled her into his arms."Kevin, what are you
doing? Let go of me!" Realizing what was going on, Anne struggled to free herself from his tight
grip."Really? You still don't know what I want to do? I didn't have a good time last night. Let's finish
what we started."Kevin's loins were burning as desire filled him."Kevin, you're a pervert!"Anne scolded,
blushing. Was this the only thing in his mind?"Do you want me to tell you if I'm a pervert or not? Or do
you want me to show you?"Kevin couldn't control himself, his desire for her was eating him up.He had
no idea when he started feeling this way. On the inside, he was still in denial. He convinced himself that
he was just obsessed with her body.As realization dawned on Anne, she began to panic."Kevin, let go
of me. Aren't you afraid that someone's going to hear us?"Anne kept struggling. She didn't want to do
this especially after he had acted as if nothing had happened after they had just slept with each other
last night."So what? As long as you don't make a sound, who's going to hear us?"Smiling maliciously,
Kevin pressed Anne against the wall, kissing her passionately despite her protests.Shock and disbelief
were written all over Anne's face. He really was going to do this. Wasn't he worried about servants
passing by and possibly hearing them?She felt disgusted at the thought of what Kevin was going to do
to her in her own room. He didn't even seem to care that it was the middle of the day!She tried to resist
but couldn't because he had shoved his mouth against hers.When he finally let her go, she exhaled
sharply, glaring at him."Enough! Kevin, don't you even feel guilty? Why are you doing this to me? What
right do you have to do this to me?" Anne roared as tears streamed down her face.He didn't even love
her yet he kept doing this to her. How did he really see her then?
