Kevin frowned and looked at Cherry impatiently. He was getting tired of being pestered by her.
Cherry looked at him with so much pain in her eyes. She couldn't stand his indifference towards her.
"Kevin, do you really want me to leave so badly? Didn't we have a serious affection for each other?
Why does it seem like you never really loved me?"
Cherry spoke in a quavering voice. The colder he was, the more flustered she became. This man was
so cruel to her now. How could he be like that?
Her words only made him more irritated. First with Anne, now with this perturbing woman. Anne had
made him angry earlier when she told him that she just came back for the baby and she didn't care for
him at all.
"Cherry, am I not making myself clear enough for you to understand? Do I have to say it one more
time?"
The more she pleaded, the more Kevin was annoyed. He didn't want to take one more look at her. In
his eyes, there was no one but Anne.
He was about to leave after saying such things.
"Kevin, I have done so much for you, but in the end, this is how you will treat me? What am I to you?
My mother even risked her life for you, but you still ended up ditching me like this."
Cherry knew that he was already in love with Anne and he became more determined to get her back. It
was the reason why he wanted to break up with her now, but she still knew him the most. He was not a
heartless person and that was enough to use her mother just so he wouldn't let her go.
As expected, a hint of hesitation flashed in Kevin's eyes when he heard about her mother. Although he
was irritated by her, he still owed her mother a lot for saving his life.
"I always remember your mother's kindness, so I have always kept you by my side to take care of you.
I know it's unfair to you, but I really can't accept anyone else now. I really can't love you anymore."
This time, he spoke softer and with enough patience. He would always consider the fact that he was
saved by her mother no matter what, but he had to be true to her in order not to complicate things in
the future.
Cherry was overjoyed when she saw the hesitation in his eyes. She had a little hope that he would still
let her stay by his side.
"Kevin, I just want you to let me stay with you. I don't care about anything else, so don't drive me away,
okay?"
Her eyes were filled with tears. Obviously, she was in a state of devastation. Any man who would see
her would feel sorry for her.
Kevin didn't want to talk to her anymore. He walked past her, but he stopped when he heard what she
said next.
"Kevin, I know that you only care about Anne now, but have you ever thought if she loves you or not?
Don't you feel her lack of interest from the way she treated you just now? She doesn't care about you
at all!"
Cherry knew how arrogant Kevin was. There had always been a lot of women around him, desperate to
get into his bed. She knew that he would be infuriated when he realized what she meant. She had to
seize the chance to add fuel to the fire.
As expected, Kevin felt exasperated. He didn't like what Anne told him earlier. Now that Cherry
exacerbated what he felt, he didn't know how he would still be able to control his rage. He could get
any woman as long as he wanted, but this Anne, she actually rejected him.
When Cherry noticed that his mood shifted, she felt satisfied knowing that her words affected him a lot.
She even continued to infuriate him.
"Kevin, are you really going to keep a woman who doesn't love you by your side?" Cherry looked at his
face keenly.
Although she was happy that her words had had an impact to him, she felt a bit afraid that he might
vent his anger on her if she was not careful enough.
Kevin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. His anger was supposed to have been suppressed
already, but this woman seemed to provoke him to his limits.
"Kevin…"
"Enough!"
he quickly retorted. He did not need anyone to remind him of how he should deal with Anne.
Cherry was startled by his roar and looked at him with fear. She said those words for his good. Didn't
he feel it at all?
"Kevin, I have said those words for your own good. Don't you even appreciate me for doing this for
you?"
Cherry was obviously aggrieved when she said those words to him. She was never disregarded by him
like this. He seemed to be a completely different person to her now.
"From now on, I don't want to hear such words from you. Cherry, you should know that my patience is
limited. If you don't want me to kick you out by force right now, you'd better behave yourself."
Although Kevin was in a rage right now, he was completely aware of her ulterior motive. He knew that
she was trying to sow dissension between him and Anne. He would never let himself be pushed around
by anyone.
Cherry's face turned pale when he warned her. Did he know her true intention?
"I'm sorry, Kevin. I didn't mean to say that. I just feel sorry for you…"
She tried to explain for herself, but she could never manipulate his mind again.
"You can stay here for the meantime. But I don't want anything bad to happen to our family while you
are here. Do you understand?
At first, he wanted Cherry to leave today, but when Anne told him that she only cared for her child, he
was furious. So he changed his mind. He decided to let Cherry stay for the moment to test whether
Anne really didn't mind or not.
"Kevin, are you not going to drive me away?"
Cherry suddenly felt encouraged. She looked at him in surprise and smiled with relief.
Since he didn't insist on banishing her, did it mean that she still had a place in his heart? Did he still feel
a bit of love for her?
"You can leave at any time. I've asked my secretary to buy another house for you, so you can move
there any time you want."
Kevin somehow regretted his decision when he saw Cherry's joyful expression. However, he already
told her to stay, and there was no room for regret.
"Okay, I won't ask anything. I will behave myself and won't make any difficulties for you, Kevin. Thank
you for letting me stay here."
Even though Cherry knew that it was mainly because of Anne as to why Kevin had suddenly changed
his mind, she was still very happy. As long as there was a chance to stay, she would be able to make a
way to make Kevin fall in love with her again and banish Anne completely.
Kevin was her man. She would never let anyone take him away.
He sighed in relief when she obeyed what he said, and strode away.
Although he didn't want to see her face any longer, he refrained himself at the thought of Anne's
indifference towards him.
Cherry turned her gaze to Anne's room. A trace of viciousness flashed through her eyes. She would
never let Anne take his man. Sooner or later, she would banish this woman from the villa and become
the lady of this house.
Anne was taking care of her child in the bedroom. It was the greatest happiness she had ever felt in her
whole life. As for the matter of love, she didn't want to consider it at all. She just wanted to stay as it
was now.
She was looking keenly at her baby's features. She could see both Kevin's and her features in him.
Now, she couldn't help but began to imagine what the baby would look like when he grew up.
A knock was heard from the door and she carefully stood up to open it.
She frowned slightly. She didn't want to be disturbed when she was with her child.
She thought that it must be Kevin who knocked at the door, but when she saw Cherry's contorted face,
her face suddenly turned cold.
"Cherry, what are you doing in my room?"
Anne looked at Cherry with a straight face and said coldly. This woman was becoming more and more
hostile towards her, so there was no need for Anne to be polite.
"I'm here to tell you that I won't leave here. Kevin just told me that he didn't want to leave me. Don't
think that your tricks can drive me away. I'm the only one in his heart, so you'd better give up!"
Cherry still believed that it was Anne who made Kevin drive her away. She would always put all the
blame on Anne.
Anne raised her brows when she saw Cherry's smug face. Although she felt a little sad to hear what
Cherry said to her, she still glared at her and said coldly,
"I'm not interested in your relationship with Kevin, and I don't want to meddle in it either. You don't have
to tell me about it. You'd better go to him by now,"
Anne said frankly and was about to close the door.
Cherry was a bit startled by her words. It was so straightforward that she was not able to retort. Now
she had the chance to turn the table, she would not let Anne go easily. She pushed the door to stop her
from closing it and looked at her with viciousness flickering in her eyes.
