It was early in the morning when the plane arrived in Maldives. Kevin had been watching over the
sleeping Anne for almost nine hours. He ignored the faint, dark circles that were formed under his eyes
because he couldn't get enough of looking at her throughout the night.
"Here's your luggage, sir. We have arrived at our destination. Please wake up your wife," the
stewardess reminded courteously.
The man waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Just put that here first."
The suitcase was only filled with her necessities that he could afford to buy again. She slept so soundly
beside him so he took his time and admired her sleeping figure.
"Noted, sir. You are really good to your wife. Have a good trip!"
The woman continued to sleep even after they had arrived at the hotel.
Kevin carried her to their room and carefully covered her with a blanket. Once he put her down, he
looked past the window. The night-view of Maldives was breath-taking, and the city lights gave their
room a romantic atmosphere.
It was too bad that the woman was still asleep. After a while, she kicked the blanket subconsciously
and exposed her fair skin in the process. It seemed like she felt warm under the thin covering. Kevin
smiled at her antics and kissed her forehead gently. Without her usual temper and stubbornness, she
was very lovely.
It was already seven o'clock in the morning when she woke up. Her mind went haywire when she saw
Kevin under the quilt in a bathrobe. Her dress was also in a mess. She woke him up and asked, "Kevin,
what did you do to me?"
She hid her body under his confused gaze. He creased his forehead at how she greeted his morning.
She looked adorable as she hid under the blanket. Her cheeks were tinted red out of anger after her
rest was interrupted. The strap of her dress fell off her shoulder, revealing her fair skin.
She didn't look like a mother who had just given birth at all. She was just a young girl.
The man swallowed inaudibly at the sight of her. "How can you be so sure that I did something to you?"
he asked.
He approached her with a sly smile on his face as the woman slowly backed away from him.
"You didn't?" She gave him a skeptical look.
As he saw her frustrated face, his smile grew wider. "It turns out that you like me so much that you've
been expecting me to do something to you. Shall I fulfill your wish?"
He asked suggestively. Anne frowned and backed away further. "No."
She squeaked when she reached the edge of the bed. She almost fell but Kevin was agile enough and
managed to catch her in time.
She opened her eyes when her back didn't come in contact with the floor and found his face
undeniably close to hers.
There was a spark between them, the kind of spark that even strangers of the opposite sex wouldn't be
able to ignore. What was more, they already had a child together, and Kevin wasn't that annoying now.
She closed her eyes tightly but she made up her mind that she would kick him if he decided to do
something to her.
She opened her eyes when she felt him release her to the bed gently. She frowned at the man who sat
on the chair opposite their bed.
"I won't do anything to you right now because you have to go out and enjoy our little escapade," he
said affectionately. "But if you really want to, I'll satisfy you when we come back." His cocky expression
made her annoyed so she rolled her eyes at him.
"Where are my clothes?" she asked after she glanced at the wrinkled dress she had on.
"Here!" He threw her a suitcase. "Choose what you want to wear."
She opened the suitcase and found all kinds of attires she never had. There were beach dresses, retro
slippers, and even undergarments.
She was almost sure that these were not her clothes because they were all branded. 'Did he buy all of
these for me?'
"These are not my clothes," she said.
She frowned at the expensive garments in the suitcase. Her relationship with Kevin was complicated
and the last thing she wanted was for her to owe him too much.
"You don't like them?" He frowned. "I'll just buy you different ones."
He didn't know what kind of clothes women preferred. All he did was take out the most expensive
garments from exclusive stores. His woman deserved the best after all.
"No, no. Just return these, Kevin." She didn't want to pay for all these expensive clothes
Even though she was also a daughter of the Ye Clan nominally, her life was not luxurious.
"Why should I return them? Just throw them away then we can buy you new ones," he answered.
"That's not what I mean." She sighed at his way of wasting money. "I like them all," she resigned. Her
face showed no emotion but deep inside, she wanted to beat him to death.
She glanced at the suitcase once again and chose a white, long beach dress with a simple design and
a pair of sandals.
She stood up to change but it seemed like this hotel was meant to please young couple. If not, why
would everything look transparent?
She frowned and covered her eyes out of embarrassment.
"Kevin, can you go out for a bit?" she asked.
"Why do I have to go out?" She gritted her teeth at his attempt to act innocent. She glared at him and
went to the bathroom.
She heaved a relieved sigh when the glass in the bathroom was not completely transparent. Without
further ado, she began to undress.
Kevin glanced at her faint silhouette from time to time. Although she had a petite body, her proportion
was perfect.
He looked at her silently and motionlessly, afraid to make any sound that would disturb her.
He stared at her in astonishment when she came out of the bathroom. He was surprised because he
was so used to seeing her wear mature clothes. She usually wore dark-colored ones since she
preferred to be intimidating. It was the first time that he had seen her in a light-colored dress.
He thought that she actually looked prettier in light-colored clothes, since they matched her skin well.
The ankle-length dress hugged her body perfectly and showed her curves softly.
Her bare feet on the wooden floor looked so small that the toes came out as cute.
Kevin was amazed at how beautiful she was.
"Before we go, I think you should change your clothes first." She frowned at his suit. It would look out-
of-place and he would die under the scorching heat of Maldives.
"Do I have to change?" he asked innocently. He didn't know anything about the place. He chose this
place because he found out that women loved it here.
She opened his luggage and finally found only three pieces of men's clothing.
"You can wear this." She chose a shirt and waved it in front of him.
Kevin frowned at the shirt on her hand. "I won't wear that," he refused adamantly.
How could he wear such a shirt with a cartoon design?
A smile appeared on Anne's face as she imagined him in this type of shirt.
She looked around again and found a plain shirt with a casual trouser.
"You can change into this if you don't like that one." She pointed at the cartoon-printed shirt. It was rare
for her to talk to him kindly but he quickly ruined that with his banter.
"Do you want me to change inside so that you can ogle at me as you please?" His arrogant voice
resonated in the room.
Anne frowned at his cockiness. "What's so good about you? Besides, you can't see anything through
the glass."
"Too bad because I saw you clearly when you changed your clothes. You have a nice figure, by the
way," he teased.
She clenched her fists but he quickly wrapped his hands around them. "Are you embarrassed? You
don't have to be because I've seen your body too many times,"
he said mischievously and quickly ran into the bathroom to change his clothes.
Flustered, she found it hard to deal with an affectionate Kevin. She preferred the cold one who hated
her.
Still, she couldn't help but smile whenever she thought of him.
She was pulled out of her trance when the doorbell rang. She opened the door and saw a beautiful
woman outside.
"This is specially designed for couples in the hotel."
She handed out a gift and Anne quickly took it. She wasn't aware that there was such a freebie in the
hotel.
When Kevin came out, she handed it to him. "This is yours," she said.
Since he was the one who booked the hotel, everything belonged to him.
His expression turned strange after he unwrapped the present. "Do you really want it so bad?"
Confused at his question, she walked toward him and saw three boxes of condoms.
"Don't misunderstand, Kevin. I didn't buy those. The hotel gave them to us." He laughed at her
defensiveness.
He wanted Anne to warm up to him and that was why he brought her here. He was willing to do
anything because he liked her a lot.
"Let's go." He put down the things on the table and pulled her out of the room.
The weather outside was good. The sky was blue and the scenery was beautiful. The embarrassing
things that happened in the hotel room quickly dissipated from their mind as they trailed on their way.
Anne realized that she should just enjoy the place even if she was forced to come here.
