Chapter 147 Back To China
Chapter 147 Back To China
Anne followed Kevin with excitement. She couldn't calm herself down at the thought of seeing her child.
Although she did not sleep all night, she did not feel tired at all. Instead, she felt a bit nervous. It would be the first time for her to see her child since he was born.
On the plane, Kevin glanced at the eager look on Anne's face and asked aloofly,
"Didn't you sleep last night?"
"Well, maybe I was too thrilled to fall asleep."
Now that she was about to see the baby, she appeared to be ecstatic at the moment. Her tone of speaking to Kevin was not as cold as before.
"You will see the baby soon."
Her excitement made Kevin feel guilty for forbidding her to see her child long ago. He even thought that if he had let her see the child earlier, she wouldn't have hated him so much now.
"Thank you,"
all of a sudden, Anne turned to look at him and said in a serious tone. She knew that this man had made a huge concession this time. If this happened in the past, he would never choose to compromise.
Kevin was slightly in a daze. This woman was thanking him. As far as he remembered, she hated him.
His heart was palpitating as he fixed his black eyes on Anne's face with a hint of complexity.
"You don't have to thank me. I will give you more time to get along with our child in the future."Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
He looked ahead with a strange countenance. What was wrong with him? Was he happy because this little woman's attitude towards him gradually changed? When did he become so easy to be pleased?
Anne glanced at him in surprise. What did he mean? Was he telling her that she could finally be with her child?
For a moment, her hatred for him disappeared. It was the first time that this man had considered her sentiment.
"Take a rest."
Noticing that Anne's eyes were fixed on him, Kevin became self-conscious. He felt a little awkward.
It was not until she heard his voice that Anne realized her gaffe and quickly looked away.
She had been staring at him for a long time.
Embarrassed, Anne closed her eyes. She did not want to look at him anymore. Sometimes his kind gestures could still stir up ripples in her heart. She did not want her feeling to be swayed by his behavior.
Perhaps it was because she was too tired that Anne fell asleep right away. When she woke up, she felt like it had been a long time.
She slightly opened her eyes and felt that the plane had landed. Anne turned at Kevin, whose face was very close to hers.
When his handsome face emerged in front of her face, her heart raced uncontrollably. What was this man doing? Why was he so close to her?
"Kevin, what are you doing?"
Anne immediately withdrew her body and looked at him vigilantly. His scent was around her nose, and her heart began to race again.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
Her initial reaction was to keep a distance between them, which made Kevin very vexed. Was she deliberately avoiding him?
Or did she think their relationship was estranged?
"Have we landed? Let's get off as soon as possible."
Anne did not want to irritate him, so she quickly changed the topic. If he got provoked, he might not let her see her child.
As she thought of this, a flattering smile appeared on her face, which was so bright and genuine.
Kevin did not know how long since he last saw this woman smile like that. His heart trembled fiercely. This little woman was indeed beautiful when she smiled.
Gazing at the smile on her face, Kevin got lost in his thoughts for a while. He loved to see her smile as it brought out her purity and gentleness.
Seeing that Kevin kept his eyes on her, Anne felt even more abashed. She did not know what was going on inside of this man's head, so she walked away in a hurry.
When Kevin came to his senses, he gave a disgruntled look at the panic-stricken woman who had left. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed through his dark eyes as he walked down.
The familiar city and the environment made Anne feel a bit strange.
She was still in a stupor when Kevin approached her ear and said firmly,
"Anne, let us start from where we ended. You will soon fall in love with again."
This little woman still blamed him in her heart, but he was confident and capable of making her fall in love with him again.
Hearing that, Anne curled her lips. At this moment, she could only think of him as a mad person.
He had hurt her deeply, and now he was saying that the two of them should start fresh? Was he kidding? Some scars stayed for a lifetime, but a man as arrogant as he was would not realize.
"Take me to my child now. I want to see him now."
Anne did not want to discuss such a topic with him anymore.
"Get in the car."
Knowing that she was deliberately avoiding the topic, Kevin was displeased, but he did not get angry.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at Kevin's villa. The place where she had lived was also a place where her heart had been broken. Standing at the door, Anne walked heavily.
She did not want to set foot in this place anymore. Kevin had torn her into pieces in this very villa. From there, her life had changed.
Entering the place, he noticed that Anne was not following behind him. Kevin stopped and frowned when he saw her standing still.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and follow me!"
Anne became a little odd as soon as she returned home. Did something happen? Or did she feel uncomfortable?
When she came to her senses, she tried her best to look casual and walked towards him.
Kevin grabbed her hand and led her into the villa. The two walked together.
Feeling the coldness from his hand, Anne was stunned. She wanted to break free instinctively, but Kevin's grip was too tight. She could not escape his grasp, so she chose to give up eventually.
Learning the news of Kevin's return, Cherry rushed out excitedly. But when she saw the two holding each other's hands, aversion flashed in her gorgeous eyes straight away.
But Cherry was good at hiding her true feelings. She immediately suppressed her emotions and smiled.
"Kevin, you're finally back. You've been in America for so long. I was so worried about you,"
Cherry held his arm and said coquettishly and aggrievedly.
As Cherry clutched on him, Kevin knitted his brows unhappily, and broke free from her arms. Since he had decided to be with Anne, he did not want to sustain his relationship with Cherry.
When Cherry discerned Kevin's estrangement, her expression changed slightly. She could feel that they were growing further apart.
"Anne, you're back. That's great. I haven't heard from you for such a long time. I was worried about you."
Cherry turned to look at Anne with a cold detestation in her eyes, but soon she put on a smile again. Her smile appeared sincere, yet it made Anne feel a bit scornful.
'Cherry's acting skill is getting better and better. She despises me so much but pretends to be intimate with me. Won't it get tiring being so pretentious?'
"Worried? I think you were worried that I would come back."
A disdainful sneer appeared on Anne's face. There was coldness in her tone. She was not good at acting, nor did she want to act with Cherry.
The smile on Cherry's face froze. She gave a hateful look at Anne as her heart was filled with rage. She was only containing her anger because of Kevin's presence.
"Anne, what are you talking about? You are my cousin. I was worried about you when you went abroad alone. Now, I'm so glad that you are finally back,"
Cherry said hypocritically, but her expression was indifferent.
"Cherry, you don't have to talk to me hypocritically. I will feel sick if you do so."
Anne frowned and looked at Cherry frigidly. Her words were a little mean. She knew how impolite it was to talk to a person in such a tone, but she could not control her emotions in front of her.
This woman had set her up many times, so she was not in the mood to act with Cherry in front of Kevin. After all, she did not care what he would think of her now.
"Anne, how can you talk to me like that? I really care about you,"
Cherry said in a low voice and looked at Kevin with her big innocent eyes, seeming delicate and pitiful.
In the past, when she looked at him in this way, Kevin would feel very sorry for her. No matter what happened, he would always blame it on Anne.
But it did not work this time, because Kevin never looked at her since the beginning.
"Let's go. I'll take you to see the baby."
Kevin's big hand was still holding Anne firmly. He had never let go of her. He was not as furious as before when the war between the two women broke out.
Moreover, he did not want to be angry with Anne anymore. He even thought that what Cherry had said was a little feigned.
