Renewal Of Love

Chapter 57 I Want Her Dead!

"Why are you so vicious, Anne? Do you want something bad to happen to Cherry?"

He didn't believe Cherry was guilty of anything, and he was very angry when he heard what Anne said.

Why was this woman always so mean? It was rude of her to curse Cherry when he could hear her.

"I want her dead!" When she said this, Anne clenched her chopsticks, and her beautiful eyes were full

of hatred.

Cherry had gone out of her way to hurt Anne many times. No one who knew this could blame Anne for

hating her.

Anne knew Cherry hated her too, but her elder cousin disguised her intentions well.

Kevin stood up abruptly and raised his hand, intending to slap his nominal wife.

With a complacent sneer on her face, Cherry was looking forward to seeing Anne being beaten.

On the other hand, Emily could only stand behind Anne and be extremely anxious. She could do

nothing to help her. Worse, she had to watch her being bullied.

"I see. Now that you're not afraid of the baby dying at the hands of its father, you can do what you

want."

Anne didn't flinch. She looked calm as usual, but her tone suddenly became cold, which made Kevin's

heart jolt.

He still held his hand aloft, ready to strike her. But he showed no sign he'd do more than that.

Anne had expected that Kevin wouldn't really hit her.

It was not because he cared about her, but the baby she carried. Although it hurt, it worked.

Cherry was a little disappointed. She wanted to see Anne beaten, but she couldn't let Kevin know that.

With mock desperation, she stood up and held his arm.

"Kevin, calm down. It was just a joke. Don't take it so seriously."

The vicious words dripping from Anne's mouth made Cherry hate her even more, but she had a

reputation to protect.

Cherry's voice brought Kevin back to his senses. The shivering feeling in his heart vanished.

"Anne watch yourself. If you say another bad thing about Cherry, I won't hold back!"

After saying those glacial words, Kevin stood up and strode away.

"Kevin..." Cherry called his name anxiously, but she got no response.

It was not until he was out of earshot that Cherry flashed Anne her smug smile.

"You've been with Kevin how long? And you still haven't learned to control your temper?"

Even then, Cherry pretended to care about Anne. She intended it as a concerned reminder, but the

look in her eyes betrayed her heart.

"What goes on between me and Kevin is none of your business!" Anne said coldly, not even looking at

Cherry.

She knew that Cherry was showing off in front of her on purpose, which had happened many times.

She wasn't worth bothering with.

"You're so ungrateful!" Cherry couldn't say anything more without blowing her top. She glared at Anne,

and the vicious glint in her eyes was obvious.

Knowing that she couldn't do much to rattle Anne, Cherry stalked off, her high heels clicking against the

floor.

Anne finally let down her guard. It took a toll, being that strong. She silently loosened her grip on the

chopsticks. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing her like this, Emily walked up and held her hand in sympathy.

She was angry at what Kevin and Cherry had said to Anne.

"They crossed the line this time. How could they do that to you?"

Even she could tell Cherry was a malevolent woman. Why couldn't such a smart person like Kevin see

that? Instead, he was obsessed with her.

"It's okay. I'm used to it," Anne said calmly. But she had a bitter smile on her lips when she said that.

"Anne..." Emily said her name sadly, feeling upset, as if she were the one being mistreated.

'Anne's such a great girl. What's wrong with Kevin? How could he fall for an evil manipulative bitch like

Cherry?'

"I'm fine, Emily. Don't worry about me."

Anne felt warmth in her heart and gave her friend a reassuring smile. She knew Emily's concern was

genuine.

Hearing that, Emily didn't complain anymore, but she still felt sorry for Anne.

"I'm full. Help me upstairs, okay? I'm going back home. I can get yelled at there just as easily."

She had to face Cherry and Kevin every day. She was not in a good mood, and it was not good for her

baby, either, so she decided to hide.

"But you don't have anyone to take care of you. You sure you'll be okay there?" Emily knew what was

on her mind, but she was worried for her safety.

"It's okay. I practically raised myself. I'm better off alone." Anne gave her the thumbs up, and wore a

confident expression.

"I'm still gonna drop by and check on you. I'll miss you." Emily held Anne's arm and carefully walked

her up the stairs.

Since it was Kevin's villa, it was inconvenient for Emily to stay all that long. She left after hanging out

with Anne for a while.

Anne opened a book to kill time.

"Kevin, you just said you got me a gift. What is it? Don't keep me guessing."

She heard Cherry's voice from outside, full of surprise and happiness.

Anne frowned. How irritating!

"Guess." Kevin's gentle voice was brimming over with affection.

"I can't. I'm too excited. Tell me!" Hearing Cherry's kittenish, too-high-by-an-octave voice, Anne got

goose bumps. It was like nails on a blackboard. Did Kevin actually like that?

That voice must have done something for him. Maybe it robbed him of his senses?

"Open it and see if you like it or not."

Smiling, he handed a delicate jewelry box to Cherry. His look contained a great amount of affection.

Cherry took it from him delicately. When she opened it and saw what was inside, her face was amazed

and excited.

"Wow, what a beautiful bracelet!"

"Do you like it?"

Kevin asked, a smug smile on his face.

"I don't care if you got me a plain grey rock. If it's from you, I'll love it."

Cherry stood on tiptoe to leave a kiss on Kevin's face. Her face blushed.

Kevin smiled when he touched his cheek.

"Remember that designer from Italy? This is his handiwork especially designed for you. Its name is

Lifetime Love."

With a happy look on her face, Cherry couldn't help but jump into Kevin's arms and hold him tightly. All

the bad things she had done were worth it.

"Kevin, I love you!"

"I love you too!"

The two embraced outside the door for a long time.

Hearing them exchange sweet nothings, Anne felt more and more upset.

Although she had heard and seen too much, her heart still ached every time.

She covered her ears. She didn't want to hear them anymore.

At long last, the two of them left. Anne took awhile to calm herself down. She brushed the messy hair

away from her forehead, and her eyes returned to their usual coldness.

Walking out of the room, Anne limped to Kevin's study. She knew he was there.

She knocked on the door, and soon his deep voice came from inside.

Anne pushed the door open and walked into the room. Enduring the pain in her ankle, she walked

towards him.

"Why aren't you lying down? What are you doing?"

When he saw Anne, Kevin's face immediately turned cold. His tone said he was bored. Obviously, he

didn't want to see her.

She wasn't surprised. That was like Kevin. Although she felt a little bitter in her heart, she looked calm

on the surface and betrayed no emotion.

"I wanted to tell you—I'll be leaving soon." Anne cut to the chase. After saying these words, she turned

and walked out.

"Stop!" Suddenly, Kevin stood up. When he looked at her, he felt annoyed, and frowned.

"Did I say you could leave?"

His voice was domineering, arrogant. He strode over to Anne and looked at her with a surly expression.

"You should be eager for me to leave as soon as possible, so no one will disturb you and your

sweetheart flirting with each other."

As she thought of what had just happened outside her door, a sneer played across Anne's face

When he heard the word "flirting", Kevin got even madder.

"You're pregnant with my baby now. You're safe here. You will live here till the baby's born. After that,

all bets are off,"

Kevin ordered frostily.

She was lucky it was Cole who kidnapped her, and not someone else. She might not be here today, if

not for that fact.

"I can protect myself and my baby," she said in a chilly tone, her brows furrowed.

In this villa, she could smell Cherry everywhere. Her perfume lingered. Anne didn't want to stay here for

even one more minute. She just wanted out as soon as possible.

"You have no right to refuse. After you give birth to the baby, I don't care what happens. You're not

living here after that."

After a glance at her belly, Kevin looked down at her with disdain.

When she gave birth to the baby, it would have nothing to do with him. Once that happened, he

wouldn't be tied to her anymore.

Anne kept sneering in her heart, because she knew that he would have kicked her out if she wasn't

pregnant with his child.

"Okay, I'll leave after the baby is born." After saying that in a fit of pique, Anne turned on her heel and

limped out.
