As Kevin looked at the tears that rolled down Anne's face, a trace of distress passed through his heart.
His expression became a little stiff, and he frowned impatiently.
"Why are you crying?"
His emotions were filled with guilt and anger. This stubborn woman made him feel insulted for the first
time.
There were so many women out there who were desperate to get into his bed. This woman who had all
the chance to be intimate with him did nothing but resist him over and over. She cried as if she had
suffered a lot, when in fact he just intended to give her pleasure.
"Kevin, what on earth do you want me to do to make you stop torturing me like this?"
Anne felt that she really couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't stand Kevin's hot and cold attitude
towards her, let alone his moodiness.
"Torture you? Anne, do you think what I'm doing is torturing you?"
Kevin seemed to have taken the word 'torture' seriously. His face darkened at an instant. 'Damn it! How
could she think that I am torturing her now?'
"Kevin, I'm tired enough of living in this villa. Please don't torture me anymore, okay?" Anne pleaded in
a quavering voice. She wiped her tears and looked into his eyes seriously.
All she wanted now was to nourish the baby until her time of delivery. She promised to herself that right
after she gave birth to her child, she would terminate the agreement with Kevin. She couldn't wait to
have her freedom.
"Listen, Anne, you are mine, so it's your duty to please me!"
Kevin held Anne's shoulders with his hands and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Please you? Have you forgotten that our relationship is merely based on the contract? There is no
such term in our agreement,"
Anne said coldly as her tears fell down her face. Kevin showed no mercy in front of her. His eyes were
fiery and intimidating.
She had never seen him this angry, and it made her feel uneasy. Did this man want to give her a
beating?
She couldn't help but worry for safety, and mostly the safety of her child. Kevin was capable of anything
when he was exasperated.
But to her surprise, Kevin's mood shifted so quickly, as if he had a serious mental illness. His gloomy
face was suddenly replaced with a bright one. However, there was something wrong behind his smile.
"Anne, do you want me to terminate the contract by deliberately saying these words to me?"
Kevin leaned to Anne closer and smiled wickedly. He looked at her keenly as if he had already known
what was on her mind.
Anne was left speechless. How did he come to this conclusion? As far as she remembered, she had
not mentioned a thing about wanting him to terminate the agreement from the beginning to the end.
This man's mind was incredibly confusing.
"Kevin, you seem to have misunderstood me. I have never said such words!" Anne managed to hide
her confusion and still looked at him seriously. She explained herself only to contradict what he had
misunderstood.
Kevin always had a bad impression of her. She didn't want him to think of her like that, so she did
everything to change what was in his mind.
"You haven't said it, but clearly this is what you had in mind. Since when are you too cowardly to admit
it?" Kevin scowled in a dissatisfied and cold manner.
The damn woman had the guts to admit the unacceptable things that she had done in front of him
before. What stopped her from admitting the truth right now?
His arrogance made Anne upset and she was left no words to say. He only believed whatever he
thought was right.
"Mr. Kevin, how do you know that is what I had in mind?" Anne asked coldly, trying her best to
suppress the anger in her heart.
"Didn't you refuse me just because of the agreement? If there was no agreement, would you still
refuse?" Would you?"
Kevin smiled complacently. He had long believed that Anne kept on refusing him because of the
contract.
Anne was speechless as she looked into his eyes. She didn't know how to protect herself from this
stone-hearted and selfish man. She ran out of ways to make him believe her. What else could she do?
Kevin touched her face with his big palm. His touch made her tremble in fear.
"Why are you speechless? Is it because I've seen through you?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled
brightly.
"Kevin, did you ever realize how arrogant you are? Arrogance is a disease that needs to be cured!"
Anne retaliated in anger and looked at him sharply. This man did nothing but aggravate her.
"What did you say? Say that again!" He suddenly strangled her with his own hands. His fingers turned
white due to the force he was exerting.
He gritted his teeth. What Anne said exacerbated the situation.
Anne could hardly breathe. His grip on her neck was so tight. Still and all, she looked at him fiercely
and never bowed down.
"If you are not afraid that the baby might be in danger, you can strangle me to death!" Her voice was a
bit raspy. She was still unwilling to give up despite the pain she felt.
Kevin, who was on the verge of his outrage, became more furious. She was really courting death in
front of him, who had lost himself in aggression.
"Anne, are you threatening me?" His aura was as dark as the depths of hell, and his eyes were burning
ferociously.
"I'm telling the truth. If you don't let me go, something bad might really happen to the baby."
Anne got more worried about the baby inside her. He seemed uncontrollable at the moment and she
was afraid that her child might be endangered by his anger. She knew exactly what he was capable of,
yet she chose to infuriate him even more.
Although Kevin had an impulse to strangle her to death, he returned to his senses when he heard her
words.
"Listen up, Anne. No one can threaten me, especially you!" He finally let go of her. The mark of his
hands could be traced around her neck. She panted in exhaustion, and immediately stroked her belly.
After a moment, Kevin slammed the door shut, leaving a loud bang.
Anne calmed herself down and sat on the bed. She was exhausted of arguing with him almost every
day, and now, she was almost strangled to death.
She was starting to understand Kevin less. This man was totally unpredictable. There might be more
arguments awaiting in the future. Who knew? It might be worse than what just happened.
When Kevin returned to his room, his face was still gloomy and his dark aura hadn't subsided yet.
When Cherry noticed that someone came in, she quickly stood up and walked towards him with a
sweet smile.
"Kevin, you're back!" She held his arm and looked at him with dazzling eyes.
Kevin frowned in displeasure when he saw her in his room. However, he tried to hold his temper.
"Why are you here?" His tone was stolid, and no one could tell what he was thinking at that moment,
not even Cherry, who knew him the most.
"I went to the study room to look for you, but you weren't there. Did you go to Anne's room earlier?"
Cherry asked him cautiously.
Kevin's anger had subsided earlier, but when he heard her mention Anne, his countenance turned grim
again.
"Don't mention her name in front of me anymore! Do you understand?" 'She is such an ungrateful
woman. Since she wants to escape from me, then I will just let her be.'
The smile on Cherry's face completely disappeared because of Kevin's strange attitude. However,
when the meaning of what he said sank into her mind, she chuckled in her heart.
It seemed that Anne irritated him that much. She felt triumphant with the thought.
She held his hand tightly as she said in a spoiled tone,
"Kevin, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry again? Is it Anne?"
She mentioned Anne's name again to make him totally despise that damn woman.
"Cherry, I don't want to repeat what I just said! I'm tired, get out of my room!"
Kevin was inexplicably irritated after hearing Anne's name over and over. He just wanted to be left
alone. No one could ease his anger this time, not even Cherry.
She didn't expect that he would also be cold to her. She felt a little sad, but she was satisfied knowing
that he would never like Anne again based on how he was acting.
"I'm sorry, Kevin. I didn't mean to do that. I'm just worried about you. Don't be angry with me."
Tears welled up in her alluring eyes. She looked at him as if she had suffered a lot.
Kevin had had enough today, and seeing how pitiful she looked annoyed him even more. Yet he
suppressed his anger, and held her in his arms.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have lost my temper on you." The dark aura had finally subsided when he
looked at her angelic face. It was replaced with tenderness in his eyes.
"Kevin, can I ask how Anne made you angry?" Cherry looked up at him with a hint of worry in her eyes.
She was curious about what Anne did to upset him like this.
"It doesn't matter what she has done. You are the most important person in my life!" Kevin smiled
foolishly and kissed her lips.
The pitiful Cherry didn't know that the kiss was not meant for her. It was truly meant for Anne. He just
couldn't do it to her because she had always refused him.
Anne was really a tough person. But he was definitely the toughest. He vowed that he would surely
punish her for having the guts to threaten him like that.
Cherry was carried away by Kevin's actions. When she came to her senses, she responded by kissing
him more passionately.
Kevin hadn't done such intimate actions with her for a long time, maybe because he was always
focused on Anne these past few days. Cherry hoped that their relationship could go further.
Although Cherry's features were undeniably incomparable to Anne's, Kevin didn't feel the same interest
he had towards Anne to the woman he was kissing right now. Anne was simply irresistible, nothing
more, nothing less.
He ended the intimate moment and nudged her away.
She was expecting the next thing that would happen after the passionate kiss, but the excitement she
felt was ruined so soon. She was surprised by the way he was acting.
"Kevin, what's wrong with you? Did I do anything wrong?"
