Chapter 72 His Kiss
"So what's it to be, Kevin? You are going to leave your sweetheart at the villa and take a walk with me?"
Anne asked sarcastically, suppressing her anger.
Although he never denied Cherry was his sweetheart, he was very unhappy when he heard Anne bring her up.
He didn't want to think about Cherry when he dealt with Anne.
"You're my wife. Shouldn't you want to take a walk with me?" As he took a step closer, Anne felt like she was being intimidated. She was forced to look up at him.
His eyes were so dark that no one could see what he was thinking.
Her heart beat uncontrollably. In a panic, she looked away. This man was so handsome. Although she didn't know how many times she had seen him, her heart beat faster for him. But she quickly calmed down and put on a defiant look.
"I think you forgot that we're headed for a divorce. In a few short months, we won't be husband and wife, and you'll be free to marry Cherry. Shouldn't you pay more attention to her?" She hadn't forgotten what Selma promised to Cherry. Anne felt like her heart had been stabbed by a needle, and her dissatisfaction was plain on her face.
"Quit saying her name!" Kevin said in an evil, domineering tone. He clenched his fists and suppressed his anger.
This woman always brought up Cherry. Didn't she feel anything for him?
"Why? Because I'm not good enough to say her name?"
Kevin had threatened her many times, and she remembered clearly what he had said to hurt her.
There was a flicker of dark light in his black eyes, and he felt like he was going to explode in a fireball of rage. Did he say that?!
"Enough! I don't want to get into it with you. You need to stop!"
He couldn't stand the indifference on the woman's face any more. When he shouted at her, his black eyes were gloomy and terrible.
Anne could sense he was close to the breaking point. She decided to stop poking the bear. After all, if this man got angry, he could do anything.
"Take a walk with me!" he said coldly and turned to walk in front.
He finally cooled down his anger.
Looking at his receding form in displeasure, Anne could only follow him.
The two walked in tandem, two meters from each other. Walking with her head down, Anne was lost in thought.
Suddenly, she felt something in her way and she bumped into it. She rubbed her forehead in pain and raised her head.
At a glance, she met his deep eyes...
She struggled to tear her gaze away as she rubbed her forehead. "Why didn't you tell me you stopped?"
"That's on you. If you didn't keep your head down, you'd be able to see what's going on. And why are you walking so far away from me? Do you hate me that much?" Kevin asked in an unpleasant tone, staring at Anne with a gloomy face.
"You told me not to stand so close to you. I assumed that extended to everything."
Anne remembered that Kevin asked her to keep her distance from him. She remembered every word he said that hurt her.
"That was then, and this is now. Things have changed. Do you understand?"
'Damn it! Why does she always dredge up the past and throw it in my face? She just needs to learn to follow instructions!'
"Kevin, what do you want from me? You tell me to do something and I do it. What more do you want?"
This man was nitpicking. No matter what she did, he found a reason to get angry.
"What more do I want? Anne! Are you an idiot? I want you to do as I ask."
This woman stayed so far away from him. It was like he'd give her some deadly virus if she came too close. Did she hate him that much? Idiot? Could this man be any more of a jerk? Why was he calling her an idiot?
"So what are your orders, sir?"
Trying her best to hold back her anger, Anne put on an ugly smile and mocked him. "Come here, come with me!"
Now that Anne was pregnant, Kevin didn't want to argue with her, so he had to hold back.
Although she was thoroughly unhappy, Anne still obediently walked over to him.
He took her small hands in his, and the warm feeling made Anne shake violently. She looked at the clasped hands in shock, unable to gather her thoughts.
Kevin took her hand voluntarily. What was wrong with him? Was he drugged or what? Seeing her surprised look, Kevin smiled in satisfaction. So she did have feelings for him!
Anne had been hiding them. But now everything was out in the open. She had him in her heart.
The two walked hand in hand. Suddenly, Kevin broke the silence. His voice sounded indifferent and emotionless. "Are you sure you don't love me anymore?"
But only he knew the last trace of nervousness in his heart.
"I can't afford to love you."
The words were simple enough. But her tone was so tragic, so cutting. To hear her meant infinite sadness.
When she said this, even Kevin couldn't help feeling heartbroken. He looked at her with sympathy. She appeared calm, as if nothing had happened. He gave her a complicated look.
"What if I gave you a chance with me?"
Although he knew that the woman in front of him could be vicious, he got really angry when he saw her grim determination.
He actually hoped that this woman would show some emotion around him.
"Kevin, are you kidding me? Gave me a chance? You're funny. You should do stand-up."
When Anne came to her senses, she looked at him with a mirthless smile.
She was sure that this man was out of his mind. How could he joke like that with her?
She knew how much he hated her. He rarely looked at her with anything approaching affection. How could they possibly get involved?
The sneer on Anne's face made Kevin angry again. Why did she keep looking at him like that? What was she thinking?
"Was it that funny?" His face darkened and his voice sounded threatening.
"Yes! This is the most ridiculous joke you've ever played. I'm not falling for it."
There was still a disdainful sneer on her face. She didn't believe a word he said.
As soon as she finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed her. He spun her around to face him.
When she was about to say something, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her heavily on the lips.
His sexy lips were so hot that Anne opened her eyes wide in shock and her heart thumped wildly.
Her mind went blank.
His kiss was cruel, devouring her will to resist.
The kiss lasted awhile, and was a long time coming. Anne's mind had been numb during the process. She had lost her ability to think.
Kevin felt her soft lips. Her lips were very sweet, and there was a hint of peach. He was reluctant to break the embrace, so he stood there, holding her.
He didn't let go until she was about to suffocate. His black eyes were filled with desire.
It was not until Anne gasped for breath that she realized what was happening. She looked at Kevin in shock. She couldn't believe that this man had kissed her. What was he thinking?
Hadn't he always hated her? Why did he suddenly do this to her? Was it because he was horny, and she was the closest warm body?
With an attractive, evil smile at the corners of his mouth, Kevin leaned forward slightly and whispered in her ear in a low and charming voice.
"So, do you still think I'm joking?"
After coming back to her senses, Anne looked at him in shock. "Kevin, what are you doing? Are you out of your damn mind?"
Although she loved him deeply, this came as a huge shock. She wasn't sure how she felt.
Even if the two of them were in a contractual relationship, she was pregnant now and had no obligation to cooperate with him beyond that.
"No. I know exactly what happened. I kissed you! This wasn't an accident."
His smile was alluring, though he looked at her complacently. He could tell she was into it too.
"Aren't you afraid that Cherry will be sad when she finds out?"
He was probably horny and that was why he decided to kiss her. When she thought about it, she got angry.
When he heard Cherry's name again, his eyes darkened immediately.
"I keep telling you not to bring her into this! Are you trying to piss me off? Anne! Please! Just listen to me!"
When he heard Cherry's name being mentioned, he did regret what he did. He felt guilty, because he was supposed to be in love with Cherry, not Anne. But the feeling was fleeting. He was pissed at Anne for even saying her name.
"Now don't get all high and mighty with me. You're the one with a problem. Think of it as a friendly reminder of how she'll feel," Anne said in a harsh tone.
This was deliberate. Maybe he would back off if she kept saying Cherry's name.
"Anne!" Kevin shouted Anne's name. He couldn't control his anger anymore.
He intended it to be a sweet, intimate moment, something to savor. But Anne had to ruin the mood by dragging Cherry into it.
