Renewal Of Love

What did he mean by that? Did he never really plan to let her go?

"Kevin, can you go out? I'm tired, and I want to rest!" She didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she asked Kevin to leave her alone.

"This is my home, and you are my woman. You have no right to drive me away!"

Kevin grunted with displeasure. He felt aggrieved that this woman kept on pushing him away.

The thought of dealing with this absurd and arrogant man made Anne upset. However, he was still hugging her from behind. She couldn't escape from the tightness of his embrace, so she had no choice but to suppress her anger, and let herself calm down.

She closed her eyes and ignored him. No matter what she said, it turned out fruitless because he didn't want to listen to anything she had to say. She did not want to waste her time talking anymore, so it was better for her to stay calm.

The hazy feeling returned to her, and soon she fell asleep.

Every angle emphasized her beauty. Her features were so delicate and pleasing to the eye. As soon as she fell asleep, her tempting lips slightly opened.

Kevin found her attractive. Staring at her while she was sleeping made him feel a strange desire.

There was a trace of tenderness in his eyes. He touched her face gently with his slender fingers, and felt the warmth of her cheeks on his fingertips.

Anne moved a bit when she felt that someone was stroking her face. Her pretty eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

Kevin leaned closer to her, and was about to kiss her tempting lips, but the door suddenly opened.

He was surprised when he turned his face at the door. He saw Cherry's pale face. Her once alluring eyes were now filled with pain.

He immediately came back to his senses and bolted out of the bed. He lifted the quilt and straightened his clothes.

"Cherry, what are you doing here?" His tone was indifferent. He was trying to avoid explaining what she had witnessed. Seeing Kevin's indifferent expression made Cherry feel even worse. Soon, tears welled up in her eyes.

"I didn't see you in your room just now. The servant told me that you were in Anne's room, so I came to take a look."

She started to feel uneasy by the time the servant told her that Kevin had been in Anne's room for a long time. It seemed like the thing she was most afraid of happening had already happened. "Yes, she caught a cold." It was a tepid sentence again, with no intention to explain at all.

"Kevin, did you just..."

After a moment of silence, Cherry finally voiced out what was on her mind. Anxiety overcame her face. She was afraid that Kevin was beginning to fall for Anne. Kevin frowned in displeasure. In his mind, if Cherry didn't come in, he could have kissed Anne already. She ruined the moment he was supposed to have.

"You already saw what happened just now." Kevin wore his cold expression. He was not in the mood to explain himself to Cherry.

Her heart was already pierced, but his words stabbed it again. His words felt sharper than a knife. Cherry felt even worse.

"Kevin, are you tempted by Anne... Are you..." Cherry was afraid of hearing Kevin's answer. She didn't want to hear an answer that would shatter her heart. Kevin was surprised by her question. He had not even thought about it himself.

He just knew that he cared more and more about this woman through every passing day. As time passed by, he found himself desiring greater than what he had with her. It seemed that he was really falling for her...

The thought startled him. How could he fall in love with the woman he used to hate all his life? Why did it have to be Anne, a vicious and scheming woman?

"Cherry, you're overthinking again. How could I fall in love with her? You know that men just need to release their desires every now and then."

Kevin seemed to have forgotten that Anne was there. He was not aware that his explanation to Cherry would also hurt Anne. A tear silently streaked across the corner of her eyes. "Really?"

Cherry couldn't believe Kevin's explanation. In her mind, he had already fallen in love with Anne.

Tears were about to roll down her face and her eyes looked pitiful. Kevin felt guilty when he saw her face.

"Of course what I said is true. Don't you believe me?" He strode to Cherry and held her in his arms. He gently stroked her hair and calmed her down.

Although she still didn't believe him, Cherry didn't dare to mention Anne in front of him. She was afraid that if she kept on doubting him, he would really tell her the truth and he would start to hate her.

"I believe you, Kevin. No matter what you say, I believe you. I just hope you won't let me down."

Cherry looked into his eyes with full sincerity. She wanted to see through his heart and feel a sense of reassurance.

"Don't worry. I won't," Kevin said in a sincere tone. He then kissed her softly and smiled at her.

"Then let's go out. Don't disturb Anne's rest here. If you are worried about her, I'll be the one who will take good care of her."

Cherry vowed that she would put a boundary between Kevin and Anne from now on. She didn't want to see him lingering around her nor check on her anymore.

"Don't worry. The maid will take care of her,"

Kevin blandly replied. He didn't want Cherry to overthink about it. He deliberately used a cold tone when talking about Anne to assure Cherry that he had no interest in Anne at all.

Seeing that Kevin had returned to his usual indifference to Anne, Cherry felt relieved. However, she couldn't deny that Anne was really a threat to her ever since she stayed in this house. At first, she was trying to build up herself by showing how much she cared for Anne, but now that everything seemed to work differently, her new plan was to find a way to get her out of the house.

After the door was closed, Anne opened her eyes and smiled bitterly.

All this time when she almost believed that Kevin had really changed, she was awakened to the reality that he would always despise her and that she would be the last person that he would fall in love with. It turned out that it was all just a show to release his beastly desires. She was so stupid to fall for his tenderness.

Why hadn't she thought of his ulterior motive? She was almost moved by every moment with him only to find out that he was only playing with her. When he was happy, he was gentle to her. When he was angry, he just said those hurtful words that shattered her heart to pieces. Where did he even get the nerve to do that? It was really an unbelievable misfortune.

She didn't want to sleep anymore. She couldn't because the truth bothered her. She got up, and endured the dizziness. Then she drank a glass of water; she needed to be sober now.

Suddenly, the phone rang. It was a message from Sam, reminding her to take the medicine.

She felt a little warmer after reading his message. Life was really tough, but at least, she had a friend who really cared about her.

She hadn't seen Kevin for two days. It was not new to her anymore. At this time, it was certain that he was with Cherry.

"Kevin, didn't I say that I didn't need to buy clothes? I already have a lot in our house."

Standing at the top of the stairs, Anne stared at the two people who were walking hand in hand. They were so intimate with each other. In this villa, it looked as if Anne was the detestable third party, a miserable concubine.

"Change them all! The latest clothes of this season fit you very well. You will look even more beautiful in them," Kevin said in a forthright tone, and smiled at Cherry sweetly.

"Okay, as long as you like." Kevin held Cherry closer. He knew exactly how to capture her heart, and drive her doubt away.

Anne couldn't stand to watch their intimate scene, so she just turned around and went upstairs. Their smiling faces put her off the mood.

"Anne? Why are you standing there?" Cherry asked as soon as Anne turned around.

As a matter of fact, she had already noticed Anne's presence. She clung to Kevin's arms on purpose to make her feel jealous, as if telling her that Kevin was never going to be her man. Kevin turned to look at the stairs and saw Anne's slender back. His eyes darkened, but he remained calm.

Anne calmed herself down. She had to endure these people again. How pitiful she really was. She turned to face the two of them and said in an indifferent tone,

"I'm sorry to bother you. You can continue!" After saying that, she turned around and walk away.

Kevin felt dissatisfied by what happened. The smile on his face disappeared quickly.

Cherry failed to see Anne get jealous. Anne never gave her the satisfaction by showing any sign of weakness and she didn't take her seriously at all. Cherry was infuriated with the thought. "Kevin, Anne seems to be getting colder and colder now. She didn't even show any reaction when she saw the two of us. Did I do something wrong again?"

Cherry appeared aggrieved and held Kevin's arms. Just like her old habits, she practiced her hypocrisy in front of Kevin again. She played the role of a victim and put the blame on Anne in her most imperceptible way.

"It's okay. Just ignore her. She has always been like this anyway."

If it happened in the past, Kevin would surely have taught Anne a lesson. However, surprisingly, it was different now. He couldn't be ruthless to Anne anymore just like what Cherry always wanted to happen. Cherry looked at Kevin in shock. She didn't expect this answer from him. She thought that he would teach Anne a lesson for making her sad. This change in his attitude made her worry. "Kevin, Anne..."

She still wanted to slander Anne more because she couldn't accept how Kevin reacted this time. She thought that maybe he didn't take it seriously, so she had to ignite the fire in him.

"Cherry, I still have some work to deal with. You can go back to your room first."

Kevin interrupted Cherry, as if he had already expected what she was going to say.

Cherry simply threw a cold stare at Kevin as he went up to the stairs. She gritted her teeth in anger. In her mind, Anne was a cold and calculating woman. She despised her even more for changing Kevin so much in such a short period of time.
