Anne suddenly stopped. She could practically feel Cherry stare daggers at her.
What did Kevin want? How could he let her go?
Anne turned slowly to look at Kevin. She felt like weeping but had no tears.
"I'm a little tired and I need to lie down. What can I do for you, Mr. Kevin?"
Anne tried her best to sound calm. She also didn't want to look guilty. That might make Cherry think
that there was really something between her and Kevin.
"From now on, don't avoid me when seeing me. Do you hear me?" Kevin strode over to Anne and
looked down at her with his dashing eyebrows askew. He looked domineering.
She couldn't do anything other than try to recover from him berating her.
She was left speechless by his overbearing manner. This man always misbehaved around her.
Cherry was still here. Wasn't he afraid that his sweetheart would be sad? Didn't he care about Cherry
the most?
"Are you deaf? Did you hear what I said?" Kevin growled. Unable to get a satisfactory answer, he
responded the way he usually did, anger reflected in his black eyes.
"Well... I heard you..." Anne answered quickly, frightened by Kevin's behavior.
"Good girl."
With a smug smile, Kevin patted Anne's head like he might pat a puppy's. "It's getting late. Go back to
the villa and get some rest."
Being touched like a pet, Anne was a little annoyed. She rolled her eyes at Kevin, turned, and left
quickly.
Watching her leave, Kevin didn't even know his eyes showed tenderness.
Behind him, Cherry's temples throbbed with hatred, and her vicious gaze followed Anne into the living
room.
She walked up to Kevin and looked at him with those lost puppy dog eyes. She was trying for that look,
hoping to manipulate him.
"Kevin, why did you kiss Anne? Do you love her?" She looked at him with a pained expression.
Kevin turned to look at her. "No, but I find her fascinating," he said calmly.
Kevin was never good at disguising himself, nor did he sugarcoat the truth to please a woman.
"Okay, then what are you planning? What happens after the baby's born? What about me?"
Tears like a broken line of beads streamed down her cheeks. She looked so pitiful.
"I'm just interested in her. A woman like her won't tie me down for the rest of my life," Kevin said with
disdain.
He was just possessive of Anne. When his interest in her faded, he would let her go.
"But Kevin, have you ever thought about my feelings? I'm really sad to see you care so much about
Anne." Tears streamed down Cherry's cheeks. She could barely move. Her limbs felt like lead.
"Don't be so narrow-minded. Aren't you supposed to be kind-hearted and open-minded?" Kevin wiped
the tears from her face.
"Not really. Not when it comes to love, anyway. I know Anne hates how intimate I am with you, but I
can't help it. And I'm also jealous when I see you get so close to Anne."
"Don't worry. I'm only interested in her for the time being. You're always the woman I love most," Kevin
said gently, holding her hand.
Seeing the way Kevin acted around Anne, Cherry was nervous about her future with him.
His nonchalant attitude did little to reassure her. When she was about to say something, she was
interrupted.
"Cherry, it's getting late. Get some rest. Don't worry. I know what to do!" After saying that, Kevin held
Cherry's hand and walked towards the living room, giving her no chance to speak.
At first, Cherry had a lot to say, but her words were stuck in her throat. Seeing that Kevin didn't care
about it, she was more determined to make Anne stay away from Kevin.
Anne went back to her room, thoroughly frozen from the wind she stood in for hours. As soon as she
got in, she took a hot shower.
She stretched herself tiredly, wrapped her wet hair in a towel, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Ah!"
As soon as she opened the bathroom door, she was startled by the sudden appearance of a person at
the door.
After the initial shock, she calmed down and looked at Kevin vigilantly.
"It's so late. Why aren't you in bed?"
"Why are you so surprised? It seems that you don't want to see me at all."
As he saw no other expression on her face except shock, Kevin's eyes darkened and displeasure
welled in his heart.
"No, it's okay..." Knowing that Kevin's long face was a prelude to a storm, Anne tried to calm him down.
"Really?" Raising his eyebrows, Kevin couldn't believe it.
"Yes, I'm telling the truth." This man was temperamental. She was really worried if she said something
wrong, he would lose his temper again.
"That's good." Hearing her affirmative answer again, Kevin raised his eyebrows complacently.
Then he eyed Anne's attractive collarbone.
His Adam's apple bobbed.
"Anne, are you trying to get me all hot and bothered?" He couldn't take his eyes off her, and there were
emotions in his black eyes.
"What are you talking about?"
Frowning, Anne was confused by what Kevin had just said. Why did this man say a thing like that?
But when she looked in the direction of Kevin's gaze, she blushed all of a sudden. Where was this man
looking?
Crossing her hands over her chest, Anne looked at Kevin vigilantly, fearing he'd do something. He'd
proven he had no limits.
Looking at Anne's face, Kevin couldn't help sniggering. Did she really think that she could stop him?
"Do you think you're safe from me with your hand on your chest?" With an attractive, evil smile at the
corners of his mouth, he leered at her with hungry eyes.
"You rascal!"
Anne's face was quite red. From anger or shyness she could not say.
"Rascal? I haven't done anything to you, but I'm a rascal now? So I guess I should live up to the name
you called me."
Kevin took two steps towards her, with a touch of deep color in his eyes.
"You... What are you doing? Stay away from me!"
Looking at Kevin vigilantly, Anne was a little flustered. Did this man want to do that to her again?
"Fine. I'll stay here. But you need to get closer to me."
Kevin stopped and looked at Anne calmly. Her guarded stance made her look really cute.
He asked her to walk over to him. She'd do that—when hell froze over.
Then Anne turned around and stalked into the bedroom. She had to change her clothes as soon as
possible. If she stayed like this, maybe Kevin would really do something to her.
"Running away?" Kevin raised his eyebrows. She still managed to surprise him.
If he really wanted her, did she think she could escape? Not the brightest bulb in the bunch.
"Do you mind? I need a little privacy. I'm trying to change..."
She finally got her clothes from the wardrobe, but this man was right in front of her. She couldn't
change clothes while he leered at her. She wore nothing other than a bath towel now.
"What do you think?" Amused by her words, Kevin stood there and looked at her with interest.
He liked to see her angry and helpless.
"Kevin, leave. Now. How can I change my clothes with you right there?"
"I've seen and touched every part of your body. You don't have to be so bashful in front of me."
Kevin had no intention of leaving. The floor show was worth it. Why would he miss out on that?
'This man is so shameless. How could he actually say that without blinking an eye?'
All of a sudden, Anne's face was red like a ripe tomato, as if it could drip blood.
"For the last time: out!" She was a little anxious and wondered how long he would stay here.
"No can do. I'm staying right here!" He refused without hesitation, without any discussion.
"What do you want? I'm pregnant now. You can't force me."
Worrying that Kevin might lose control of himself, Anne tried to remind him of his child.
"Don't worry. I won't force you today as long as you don't piss me off." He had planned to come to see
her anyway. The fact that she was just stepping out of the shower was an unexpected bonus.
Anne breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Kevin with uncertainty, she asked in a low voice, "You really
won't touch me?"
"Do I like a liar? You don't trust me?" It was really uncomfortable to have a woman suspicious of his
motives.
"No, you don't look like a liar. Alright."
Anne didn't dare to say she didn't trust him. If she did, who knew what Kevin might do?
"Then why are you still dawdling? Hurry up and change. Are you waiting for me to slip into something
more comfortable?" He raised his eyebrows, indicating that she should change her clothes as soon as
possible.
Anne made up her mind. She knew that he wouldn't leave, so her best option was to just do it as
quickly as possible.
She untied the bath towel and put on her pajamas as fast as she could. But all she really wanted was
to find a hole in the ground to hide in.
'Hmm... I think you looked better in the towel. Pajamas are so boring.'
