"If you disappear in front of me now, I will definitely have a good appetite."
Anne was starving so much that she could definitely finish two bowls of rice if he would vanish right in
front of her.
"I get it. You don't want to see me. Am I that ugly that it makes you don't want to see me?"
After what was said and done, Kevin realized that Anne still wanted him out of her sight. Did she loath
him so much that she didn't want to see him?
Ugly? She was dumbfounded that the man could describe himself with such a word. 'If he was ugly,
there would be no handsome man in the world.'
"I hate you. That has nothing to do with your appearance. I hate you from the bottom of my heart and it
will never change for the rest of my life."
It was the first time that she had voiced out how she loathed him. She knew how high his ego was, and
those harsh words could have made him furious that he might stop pestering her again.
"You hate me from the bottom of your heart? Anne, do you want me to teach you a lesson?"
His eyes narrowed at her. 'This damn woman! How could she say she hates me from the bottom of her
heart? When do I make a woman hate me so much?'
"Mr. Kevin, if you really want to teach me a lesson, I will hate you more!"
Her eyes were cold and it shadowed the intensity of his gaze. Didn't the man have anything to do
except threatening her from time to time?
Kevin clenched his fists as he contained his anger. 'Is this damn woman threatening me by seizing my
weakness?
She knows that what I worry most is her hating me more and more. But she still threatens me with that.'
"Come out to eat. I don't want to bury your body in two days!"
He ordered Anne with a cold voice still containing his anger.
No matter how much she hated him, the most important thing for her was to eat. What if she really
starved to death?
'Bury my body? How could this man speak so wickedly?' Anne thought.
"As long as you leave, I will come out for the meal,"
she said in a cold tone and disregarded his cocky attitude. She continued to stand for what she wanted.
"It's not up to you!"
Kevin had begun to lose his patience and irritably pulled Anne out of the room. He had no choice but to
use his brute force to teach the woman a lesson. He knew that the friendlier he was, the opposite she
would be.
She was shocked at what he did. She was pulled out of the room before she could even react.
"Kevin, what the hell are you doing?"
She resisted, trying to get rid of his grip without minding how she would look. He didn't care where he
was. It was too much. It was her home!
"What am I doing? Can't you see? Anne, do you want me to explain it to you?"
he said, frowning at the sight of his hand loosened up by Anne. His eyes suddenly filled with coldness.
'This damn woman is always so ungrateful.'
"What should I do to make you leave me? I beg you. Can you stop showing up in front of me?"
She softened her tone. She knew it was senseless to go against him.
"Don't show up in front of you. Are you even telling me that you don't want to see even the child? Anne,
do you mean that?"
'Damn it! Does she forget that we have had a child?'
Her heart quivered when he spoke about their child. The strong feeling of a mother missing her child
overpowered her heart. That was what she wanted, but this man had always blocked her.
"You don't plan to let me see the baby, do you? Kevin, do you think it's still useful to threaten me with
my child now?"
She had already done everything he asked but he was playing her. He had used the child to seduce
her the last time and she was not stupid enough to believe him again.
"Threatening you? Do you think I will threaten you with our child? The baby is also yours. You have the
right to see him. But if you always treat me like this, I won't let you see the baby."
He thought that if she would be nice to him, he might let her see the baby.
"Then how do you expect me to treat you so you can let me see the baby? Kevin, if you're just playing
tricks on me now, I won't forgive you for the rest of my life."
She admitted that she was tempted. She wouldn't want to miss any chance to see her child.
"I don't have the time to play tricks on you!"
'This woman thinks I am just playing tricks on her. How can I be that hollow? Does she think that I don't
have the integrity at all?'
"Then what do you want me to do?"
That moment, she knew that she had compromised. But her mind was set that she would do anything
just to see her child as soon as possible.
"At least you have to change your attitude towards me first. No man likes to face a cold woman. Do you
understand?"
'Couldn't this woman be nicer to me? Why does she have to be so impassive towards me?'
She knew what Kevin meant. Angry as she was, she had to keep a cool head.
"I see, Mr. Kevin. I'll be careful in the future."
For her to see the child, she had to set aside her feelings. She had decided that she would hold it in as
long as he wouldn't cross the line.
"That's right. You can talk to me in this way from now on. If you keep saying that you want to drive me
away, you will never see your child ever again."
Kevin smiled triumphantly when the tone of the women softened. He liked her obedience.
She tried her best to restrain the urge to curse him. She stood still and lowered her eyes so that he
couldn't see her expression.
"It's noon now. Do you think it's time for lunch? Anne, go and cook for me."
'This little woman hadn't had her breakfast yet. She must be hungry by now.'
Truthfully, Kevin wasn't hungry. He was just worried about her, but he didn't want to show that he cared,
so he spoke in a dominating tone.
"Okay, Mr. Kevin. I'm going now!"
Anne answered in a calm tone, but she gritted her teeth in annoyance. For her to see her child, she
must suppress her emotion.
She began to cook in her small kitchen.
If the man would torture her like that every day, she might have a hard time. His personality was
exceptional and she might offend him if she was not careful enough. She knew that her good times
were over.
A faint smile flashed on his face while he was busy examining the woman in the small kitchen. It felt
good that she cooked for him.
An hour after, she served four dishes and one soup on the table. Anne looked at Kevin, who was sitting
in her living room, reading a newspaper. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes. The man really took her
place like his own.
"The meal is ready. You can eat it now."
She shook off the thought and spoke in an indifferent tone.
He stopped reading upon hearing Anne's voice and marched towards her. A smile flashed in the
corners of his mouth at her obedience.
His heart felt warm as he sat on the chair and looked at the dishes.
He started to eat using chopsticks. An unfamiliar feeling rose. It was new to him even though she had
cooked for him before.
Anne didn't want to see him so she held back her hunger and spoke.
"Mr. Kevin, take your time. I'm going back to my room. Call me if you need anything."
She turned her back and started to walk towards her room.
"Sit down and eat with me. Do you want me to eat alone?"
Kevin frowned. He wasn't happy that she wanted to leave. 'Couldn't this little woman change her
temper? She is obviously starving to death, but she has to endure it. Does she want to torture herself?'
"No, thanks, Mr. Kevin. You can enjoy it yourself."
The thought was engraved in her mind. She'd rather starve herself than stay with him for one more
second.
"Anne, don't you take my words seriously? Don't you want to see the baby?"
'This damn woman is still hiding from me. Didn't she hear a word of what I said just now?
I want my own woman, not a maid. If I just need a maid, there is a more obedient woman than her. Why
would I need her?'
"Kevin, can you stop threatening me with my baby all the time? You know I care about my baby the
most, but you always use the baby as a chip."
She looked at him angrily. What else could he do besides threatening her with her child?
"Do you think I'm threatening you? Anne, are you out of your mind? Can't you see that I care about
you? You haven't had breakfast or lunch. Are you going to starve yourself to death?"
'Damn it! Does she know that I am only worried about her? How could she talk to me in such a tone?'
Anne was stunned at his sudden confession. Her heart skipped a beat. Did the man just say that he
cared for her?
Did he really care about her?
"Do I need to thank you for your concern, Mr. Kevin?"
She couldn't ignore that it moved her. Her heart throbbed as she looked at him indifferently. She didn't
expect anything from him anymore.
Kevin looked at her, annoyed at her indifference.
