"Anne, are you trying to piss me off?" He had tolerated her for so long, but her attitude never changed.
"Mr. Kevin, this is my home. I don't want to see you now. Please leave."
Sam noticed the torment in Anne's eyes. He felt so distressed for her that he immediately told Kevin to
leave.
"Sam, do you know who you are talking to?" His raging eyes narrowed at him. There was a dangerous
pressure emanating from him.
"Of course, I know you."
Sam wasn't even moved by his words. He even imitated his imposing manner.
After he saw Anne's eyes, Kevin suppressed his anger. He snorted and left bitterly.
When Kevin left, Anne's legs turned weak. She sat on the sofa and her eyes became empty.
His sudden reappearance disturbed her sanity. She didn't know how to react when she faced him just
now.
"Anne? Are you okay?" Sam rushed to her side.
He suddenly felt guilty for no apparent reason when he saw her reaction.
"Sam, why did he suddenly appear this time? Did he come to disturb my peace again?"
Her knees shivered as she turned around to face Sam. The confusion was evident in her eyes. She
didn't know what how she would react the next time she saw Kevin.
"Anne, do you want to come back to him?"
Sam stared into her eyes. The only thing he wanted right now was for her to be happy.
"You know it's impossible for me to be with him. Why did you ask such a question?" Anne suddenly
changed her mood when she noticed the concern in his eyes.
The last person she imagined to see was Kevin. She finally drew the line in their relationship. She no
longer wanted him to get involved in her life.
"Why is it impossible? I can see that you still can't forget him and he still has a place in your heart. In
that case, why can't you two be together? You want to be with him too, right?"
It was heartbreaking to push the woman he loved to another man, but the only thing that he wanted for
her was to find her happiness.
His conscience wouldn't allow her to be with him unwillingly. He knew that he would only feel bad every
single day if he saw that she was unhappy. He only wanted to put a smile on her face.
"The two of us are not from the same world at all, and he has Cherry by his side."
The thought of Cherry and Kevin being together devastated her. She was puzzled at the thought of why
Kevin was still provoking her when he already had the woman he wanted to marry.
"What if he leaves Cherry? Will you consider going back to him?" His eyes were expectant and his
heart beat rapidly while he awaited her answer.
"Sam, what's wrong with you today? Why do you always ask me such hypothetical and impossible
questions? You have never asked such questions before."
Her forehead creased as she asked him. Anne was bewildered by his actions. It was unbecoming of
him to ask about her relationship with Kevin.
"Nothing. I just want you to follow your heart. I just want to see you happy." He withdrew his gaze from
her and didn't bother to repeat the question.
"My relationship with him is over. Now, all I want is to see my child. So please, help me."
Anne stared into his deep eyes, etching her words into his brain.
The last thing she wanted to happen was to see Kevin. The most important thing for her right at that
moment was to see her child, and that was when she could finally be fulfilled.
Sam kept silent for a long time, examining the expression in her eyes until he finally spoke. "Okay, I will
help you as much as I can. If it'll make you happy, I'll do it."
He began to doubt his decision when he noticed that she seemed to be disturbed. He didn't know if
what he did for her was the right thing to do.
He knew that she was only pretending not to care, but the look in her eyes revealed the truth. As much
as he hated to admit it, she still loved Kevin, and it tormented him to think about it.
"I'm tired. I'll go upstairs and get some rest." Her heart couldn't bear to suppress her emotions
anymore, so she decided to head back to her room.
Her mind was a complete mess. She couldn't think straight.
Watching her hunched back because of loneliness made Sam feel sorry for her.
Kevin drove the car at full speed. The expression on his dashing face could not be painted.
That damn woman! He came all the way here just to see her, and this was how she treated him. Not
only was she not happy to see him, she even drove him away!
The secretary was waiting at the front door when Kevin arrived at his villa in America. He was
expecting that his boss would come back with Anne, but the only person he saw stepping out of the car
was Kevin.
Did the trip not go well?
"Mr. Kevin, where is Miss Anne? She didn't come back with you?" He immediately ran towards Kevin
as he asked him cautiously.
"Don't mention that damn woman to me!"
Kevin was furious every time he thought of Anne. She was fearless. No woman had ever dared to talk
to him in such an attitude.
"Mr. Kevin…"
He was dumbfounded by his boss's angry face. Wasn't he fine a few hours ago? Why was he suddenly
so angry?
"That damn woman is getting bolder and bolder!"
The more he thought of it, the more furious he became. Her attitude towards him was nothing like what
he had imagined.
His expectation that she would rush into arms and beg for him to come back was crushed.
"Mr. Kevin, what happened? Is Miss Anne unwilling to come back?" He was hesitant to ask the
question when he stared at his gloomy face.
"Can't you tell by the look on my face right now?" Kevin glared at him coldly. It was obvious that the
secretary knew the answer.
"…"
The secretary couldn't believe that there was someone that could refuse his boss. He was too shocked
to even utter a word.
"Mr. Kevin, what are you going to do now?" He sighed helplessly.
By the way Kevin treated Anne before, he knew that she would be enraged with his boss the moment
he found her.
"I'm going home!"
Kevin dragged his feet towards the villa. His face was the epitome of frustration because there was
nowhere to vent his anger.
"Mr. Kevin, are you not going to take Miss Anne back?" The secretary was truly powerless in front of
Kevin's volatile temper.
"Didn't you know that woman refused me?" Kevin stared daggers at him.
"Well, I'll make the arrangements now. Are you planning to head back tonight?"
"Did I say that I would go back tonight?" Kevin roared with dissatisfaction. His face could not be more
intimidating.
Didn't he say that he wanted to go back just now?
He really couldn't understand his boss's temper; it was too unpredictable.
"Find a way to make that woman come back to me willingly." He really would find a way to get her. He
couldn't back down anymore.
"There is no other way. If you want Miss Anne to come back to you, you should try to woo her. After all,
women are emotional animals."
"Write it down for me! Tell me how I can 'woo' that woman!"
Kevin had never made this kind of effort for a woman before. His ego didn't allow him to do so.
"Okay, Mr. Kevin." The corner of the secretary's mouth twitched, but he still agreed.
It seemed that Kevin's anger signified that he had already fallen in love with Anne. If he didn't, he
wouldn't have made a move to pursue her.
The next day, the secretary had the list ready and handed it to Kevin. The list was two pages long.
Kevin's forehead creased and he furrowed his brows.
Had it always been this much trouble to get a woman?
"Do I really have to do everything on this list?"
He eyed his secretary suspiciously. He doubted that he had to do so much just to get Anne back.
"Every woman is different, Mr. Kevin. You have to try everything on that list to know what could impress
Miss Anne." There were so many ways listed to pursue a woman, but the truth was, he only listed a
few.
"Let's start with the first one. You go and prepare one thousand roses and place them at her door."
"One thousand? Mr. Kevin, are you sure?" He was shocked. His eyes were uncertain if he should
follow Kevin's snap decision.
"Is that not enough? Then ten thousand bouquets!" Kevin's face turned sour when he thought that one
thousand bouquets of roses were not enough.
Ten thousand...
"Mr. Kevin, I feel the need to tell you that one thousand bouquets are simply too many..."
Ten thousand bouquets of roses? Did he want to buy all the roses in the city?
Where in hell would he find that many roses?
"Then if a thousand bouquets are enough, just do as I say before you suffer the consequences."
Kevin's decision was final. After he finished talking, he left the villa at once.
The secretary shook his head helplessly as he was thinking about the one thousand bouquets of roses.
His boss must be thinking that it was just a number.
Anne was so upset because of what happened the other day that she didn't want to go out at all.
Her thoughts were disturbed by a sudden knock at the door. She stared at the door with doubt.
When she opened the door, Kevin's face appeared right in front of her.
After she drew a deep breath to calm down, her face became devoid of emotion.
"Why are you here again? What are you doing here? I have said yesterday that you are not welcome
here," Anne said with a cold tone.
"Of course, I'm here for you. Why else would I be here?"
Kevin said lightly. He tried his best to hold back his anger as he knew that the woman was still furious
with him.
