Chapter 135 How Dare She Curse Me!
Chapter 135 How Dare She Curse Me!
"Kevin, what on earth you want me to do so that I can see my child? I am the mother of this child! You've gone way too far now!"
As her voice shook, Anne tried her best to control her emotions. However, it was just impossible to keep her anger in.
"I've gone too far? Do you even hear what you're saying right now? How dare you speak like that to me!"
The only reason this was happening was because he wanted her to come back to him as soon as possible. Of course, Anne didn't know it at that time. 'Damn it! This darn woman doesn't know me at all!'
Never in his life had he wanted a woman as much as he wanted Anne. It frustrated him that he had failed again and again to bring her back into his life. How could a man as arrogant as he was accept defeat like that?
All of the other women desperately wanted to be around him. Because of this, it made it hard for him to understand why Anne didn't want him. What was more, she constantly challenged his patience all the time.
"Kevin, please let me have a look at the baby. Just one look..."
Softening her voice, she figured that it was better it she kept her cool and tried to gently persuade him. Right now, there was nothing she wanted more than to see her child.
This sudden change of attitude left him stunned for a moment. He almost wanted to say yes to her, but when he thought about her unwillingness again to come back to him, the anger came surging back up at his heart.
"I will ask my secretary to bring your luggage. From this day on, you'll be living with me."
With a scoff, Kevin turned around and went upstairs, not bothering to wait for Anne's reply.
A bitter frown appeared on her lips. Not only was she not allowed to see her baby, but now she was forced to stay here! Things could not have gotten any worse at this point.
"I'm not staying here, Kevin! I want to leave!"
With long strides, she quickly caught up to him, her voice booming with anger. Why couldn't this man let her go? There was no way to control all the fury bottled up inside of her.
They were supposed to be out of each other's hair by now. Both of them had their own lives to live. Frustrated and helpless, she was so fed up with Kevin trying to mess up her life.
"It's not up to you whether you live here or not. I've made my decision."
Kevin stopped and stared at Anne with his dark and deep eyes. His voice was as menacing as his stare.
How could this man be so domineering? It was as if he had no empathy at all!
"You bastard! Will you stop it and think about other people before you think about yourself?! You always think you know what's best for everyone, but you don't!"
She gritted her teeth as she held back the tears brimming in her eyes. Even though she knew she could no longer change his mind, she had to try.
'Bastard? This woman... How dare she curse me! Who does she think she is?!'
"I dare you to say that to me again."
'If she dares say anything like that again, I swear I'll drag her into bed whether she likes it or not! I'll show her what a real bastard I can be!'
When Anne was about to repeat what she thought of him, she saw the anger flickering in his eyes. Her heart trembled in fear.
Feeling the aura he emanated, she knew that he would do something rash if she tried to push his limits even more. Despite this, she was not willing to be controlled and stepped on like this.
"Please," Anne said in a soft voice. "Just let me have a look at the baby. I promise I won't make you angry again, okay?"
Looking up at him, she tried to look as pitiful as possible, hoping that maybe he would finally feel sorry for her.
It worked, and Kevin's gaze softened, and for a while there was a torn look on his face.
"If you stay with me and don't make a fuss, I'll let you see the child."
At the back of his mind, he thought that if she would just come back to him of her own will, he would let her see the child. Of course he wanted the child's mother to stay with him. Nothing would be better that that.
"You promise you'll let me see my child if I stay here?" Anne raised her chin as she spoke in a serious tone.
It was important for her to see her child, after all. If staying here with Kevin was the price to pay, she would willingly do it.
"Don't try and negotiate with me now. If you even dare to leave, you will never be able to see the kid ever again! I can guarantee you that."
As the days passed by, Anne was getting colder and colder towards him. Even though he wanted her to be there, her attitude was not something he was willing to tolerate, and he was thinking of using some special method if she didn't change.
After saying these cold words, he flashed another hard look at her before walking straight into the bedroom.
Looking at the closed door, her hands clenched up into fists at her side. Angry tears streamed down her big, beautiful eyes. 'Threats! That's the only thing that man ever does to me!'
For the child's sake, she knew she had to follow his rules, even though she really wanted to get out of there. He had threatened her that she wouldn't be able to see her child again if she left, and she wasn't going to risk that.
Meanwhile, Kevin's secretary shook his head helplessly as he witnessed how badly his boss had treated Anne. 'It's getting worse and worse,' the secretary sighed.
No woman would want to be treated harshly. It was just too bad for Kevin that he was just so cold all the time and not good at expressing his emotions.
The secretary wordlessly took her things up to the bedroom right beside Kevin's. For a second, Anne hesitated. She didn't want to in a room that was so close to his. Taking a deep breath, she figured she had no choice. 'At least he's not making me stay in his room,' she thought to herself.
Looking around the bedroom, she had to admit that it was very elegant and luxurious. However, it didn't feel like a place she could call home.
After the secretary left, she sat down on the big, soft bed. With a heavy heart, she thought about everything that happened. It was as if there was nothing she could do to go against Kevin's overbearingness.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. Looking at the screen, she saw Sam's name lighting up. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't told him that she had been brought here by Kevin.
"Hey, Sam," she greeted with a half-hearted enthusiasm.
"Anne, it's getting late. Why haven't you come home yet? Come on, tell me where you are. I'll pick you up."
On the other end of the phone came Sam's anxious voice. Normally, Anne wouldn't stay out this late without telling him.
Hearing how much he cared warmed Anne's heart. It was nice to hear someone who cared about her after all that shouting Kevin had done to her, despite knowing that Sam wanted more than just being her friend.
"I'm... I'm in Kevin's villa now. I think I'll have to live here in the meantime. Please don't worry about me. I'm fine, okay?"
she said softly in a calm tone.
"What? You're at Kevin's house? Why? Are you getting back together with him?" When Sam heard the news that Anne and Kevin were together, his heart trembled. It feared him that he might lose her forever.
"No, it's not what you think. Kevin and I will never be together anymore. You know that. I'm just doing this for the baby. I'm willing to do anything Kevin asks of me as long as I can be around my kid,"
she explained to him patiently. A pained look appeared in her eyes as she spoke. At this point, she had done everything just to be with her child. If Kevin still wouldn't allow her to be with her baby, she just might go crazy.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"You're so much better than this, Anne." Even though she was trying to sound happy, Sam could hear the sadness in her voice. It cause him indescribable pain to know that there was little that he could do.
Before, Sam had hoped that she would finally return to Kevin and be happy. However, after being around her for a long time, his feelings for her slowly developed. Even though he knew that Anne just saw him as a friend, he still couldn't help falling in love with her.
"I don't really have a choice right now. I might stay here for a while. Please. Don't worry." Somehow, although his words comforted her, it still made her sad.
"No. Come on. I'll pick you up and I'll help you with the baby. I'll help you get through this, Anne."
He was flustered when he thought of the fact that she and Kevin lived under the same roof, and that was mainly because he was afraid that she would fall in love with Kevin again.
What was more, the child was not even in this country at all. At that time, he just didn't want her to hurt herself, which was why he lied to her. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
"No, thanks. You've already helped me a lot. I want to thank you for all of the nice things you've done for me."
Although she knew how Sam felt for her, there was no way she could return his feeling.
After saying these words, she quickly hung up the phone, not wanting to hear what he would say next. His kindness was too much, and she couldn't help but feel that she didn't deserve it.
Tossing her phone onto the bed, Anne buried her face in her hands, feeling so powerless. All the energy felt as if it was drained from her body. Soon enough, she lay down and let herself fall asleep.
In the middle of the night, Kevin opened Anne's door and walked right in. Moonlight poured into the room and shone on her resting figure.
Walking to the bedside, Kevin looked down at her with a complicated look in his deep eyes.
'This woman is only quiet when she's asleep,' he thought to himself. When he had come to America to look for her, he felt as if she had changed, and was more resistant and indifferent towards him.
As she slept, her delicate brows tightly knitted on her forehead. It looked like she was having a bad dream. Even her lips were turned down into a sad frown.
Seeing her like this made Kevin feel sorry for her. Slowly, he sat down at the edge of the bed and gently stroked her face. Her familiar warmth made Kevin lost in his thoughts as he cherished each second he was next to her.
As Anne felt something on her face, her eyes slowly blinked open. When she saw him right beside her, her eyes immediately became vigilant.
"Why are you here? What are you doing here?"
'How long has he been sitting there?' Nervousness filled her heart as she tried to move farther away from him.
