Renewal Of Love

Chapter 244 Regret

His assistant's heart sank when he heard his boss' words. It turned out that Ian was still hopelessly in

love with Anne. How could he be able to let go of the person he loved so easily? In this world, the only

person that could make the investment master, Ian, do stupid and unimaginable things was her. Any

form of logic was rendered useless if Anne was involved.

"Okay, I'll get ready."

The night was fading away in desolation. The lights in the pathway lit up the night as they drove

towards the gate of Luo Family's mansion. The door was open, as if it is waiting for Rose's return.

On her way home, Rose's face was filled with frustration. She didn't expected that God would make fun

of her like this. When she liked Kevin, Kevin didn't like her. Now that when she had already made up

her mind about setting him free, Kevin suddenly had a slight feeling for her and would not let her go.

She was caught in a predicament that she had never thought of.

"Here we are. Get off the car." Kevin's voice was so magnetic that the alluring night became subtle.

If it was in the past, Rose would thought that it was God's blessing for her. But now that she had

already outgrown her feelings with Kevin, it ached her head. How would she explain this turn of events

to Mark?

She had told Mark that she'd end her one-sided love in his restaurant, but she didn't expect that when

she was ready to let everything go, Kevin would suddenly have a change of heart.

If that was the case, would Mark misunderstand her? Would this conflict be able to give off a bad

impression of her? She was afraid that Mark would think that she was a person who couldn't keep her

words.

Thinking of this, Rose couldn't help but feel annoyed with Kevin a little bit, but it didn't seem to be his

fault.

"Get out of the car. Why do you look so preoccupied? Is there anything wrong?" Kevin gently tucked

her hair behind her ears.

At this time, Valentina and Liam came out of the mansion. They had been very worried about Rose

these days. They feared that things would be too difficult for her to handle. But they were shocked

when they saw her with Kevin. After absorbing the situation, Valentina enthusiastically invited them Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

inside, "It's so late. Come in!" she said with a lively tone.

A bit of complacency flashed through Valentina's heart. It seemed that her daughter had already

captivated Kevin's heart. She had witnessed what the latter had done to her daughter just now. If he

didn't like Rose, how could he be so sweet and considerate to her?

"Kevin, what are you doing here?" Liam's voice, which was filled with animosity, echoed in the mansion.

It was not because of Kevin's past attitude towards Rose that made him bear hatred to the man. He

was angry with Kevin because of the fact that he was entangled with his two daughters. Liam didn't

know what to do to protect his children.

"Liam, they have just been reconciled. Don't make things difficult from them anymore," Valentina said

coldly.

Valentina was the most willing to see the two of them together. On the other hand, she didn't want to

lose to Kiana. She really thought that Kevin was someone that she could entrust her daughter to.

"Mom, can you stop talking?" Rose asked in frustration. Her mother was making things difficult for her.

"Okay. I won't say anything. As long as the problem between you two had been solved and there is no

deep hatred between you two, I'd be happy. Kevin, you should stay here and rest after a meal."

Noticing that Valentina was too enthusiastic to Kevin, Rose interrupted her mother, "Mom, I think he

won't be able to stay. He has something to deal with so he would have to leave soon."

Rose didn't want Kevin to stay any longer than he did. After all, she didn't want Mark to misunderstand

her.

"I can put off my work. I'm not busy," Kevin replied.

This completely won the favor of Valentina. She felt certain that Kevin really loved her daughter. Her

eyes were filled with happiness.

"But Kevin, you are very busy. You don’t need to stay." Rose spoke impolitely. It was obvious that she

was a little anxious about the situation.

She meant to drive Kevin away, not even thinking about the possibility that Kevin was shameless

because he wanted to take revenge on her.

"I would clear out my schedule if it meant that I get to be with you." Kevin smiled dotingly, keeping his

facade.

"Rose, stop talking like that. Just let Kevin live here, Doesn’t our Luo Family welcomes him anytime?

He would always have a place here in our house." A hint of sadness traced from Valentina's tone. She

was trying to make her daughter agree with her.

"All right, mom." Rose finally gave in and cast a stern glance at Kevin. She was helpless with her

situation.

In the East Mountain Villa

The moonlight was warm and bright. There was a faint fragrance of milk on the huge bed. A baby was

resting on the sky blue colored bed sheet. At this moment, Anne was happily playing with the baby.

"Mom, I want…" After half a month's training, Eddy was able to express his thoughts in a simple

manner.

For example, if he wanted a toy, he would say 'want' and if he wanted to drink milk, he would say 'milk'.

He would also use body language to communicate. He would stretch out his hands if he wanted to hug,

which was very lovely and smart of him.

"Eddy, we need to rest now. It was already late. Go to bed now and you will see Daddy tomorrow,

okay?" Anne had a very sweet smile on her face when he mentioned Kevin. Eddy gave her a kiss on

the cheek.

The night was getting deeper and deeper. Eddy fell asleep on his mother's arms. It was already eleven

o'clock in the evening, but Kevin still hadn't come back. Anne felt worried about him, but she told

herself not to think about anything else. 'Everything would be fine.' She kept on repeating in her mind.

She couldn't sleep well the whole night. She would always have that indescribable feeling, as if her

emotions were slowly fading, when Kevin was not by her side.

"Have you forgotten what happened before, just because Kevin simply expressed his 'love' to you?"

Even though Anne scolded herself in dismay and disappointment, she could not help but smile when

she thought about Kevin.

After long hours of drowning within her thoughts, she finally fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already morning. She heard someone talking outside. She got up, put on

her shoes and opened the curtains. The sunshine greeted her room with warmth, and the place

suddenly looked lively. Anne opened the room's door. When she was about to look for Eddy, she saw

Emily sitting outside.

At this time, Emily was talking to the nanny. It was a big living room, and there were only the two of

them. Emily was not familiar with the nanny, but she was an extrovert and engaging with other people

was natural for her.

"Emily?" Anne smiled as she called Emily's name.

"Good morning, Anne. I'm just asking about you and the baby. How's my godson?" At the age of

twenty-five years old, Emily was still as energetic as she was in her teens. Anne had always wondered

where all her energy came from.

"You haven't got married yourself, and yet you are thinking about the baby. Tell me, do you want to

have a shotgun marriage with Sam?" Anne teased her friend.

Emily's face turned red when she heard Sam's name. After the nanny went to the kitchen to prepare

breakfast, she returned to Anne. "Don't mention it, Anne. I want to have a shotgun marriage, but Sam

never wants to have me that way."

She sat and rested her chin on her hands. "Do you think he doesn't really like me? Or it is just him

being a doctor that made him seem cold in nature?" She asked Anne as if she was also talking to

herself.

Anne laughed at her sentiments. "I'm just kidding. But do you really want that?"

"Yes, I do. I'm an adult and I have the freedom to fall in love. Besides, Sam is the first person l like, and

also the first person that I choose. Since I'm certain with my feelings and I have determination, what

else should I be afraid of?" Emily's tone was tough and assertive. She sounded like she wanted to

really try and then she would be able to know everything after she did.

Looking at her friend, Anne realized that Emily was very brave. Anne didn't have the audacity the even

think about such an idea, but she hoped that Sam was, indeed, the right person for Emily.

Otherwise, her friend would definitely have to suffer a lot.

"Okay, no problem. You can continue with your perseverance," Anne said. She was busy peeling fruits

while talking with Emily. She offered her peeled fruits to Emily when she was finished. Emily stared at

her for a few seconds.

"You're different, Anne," Emily said as she took one fruit from the bowl and ate it.

While chewing, Emily looked around the place. It was as if she was trying to look for something.

"What are you looking for?" Anne's voice was confused.

Emily stopped looking around and whisper, "Is Kevin here?"

Anne wanted to laugh at her friend but she held back. "Are you afraid of him?" Thinking of this, Anne

thought that Emily might really be afraid of Kevin. After all it was him who sent Emily abroad back then.

Emily shook his head, denying that she feared Kevin. "Not at all, I just thought that Kevin was very kind

to you. Look at your face, you are glowing. It seems that you are living a good life." Emily's voice was

filled with sincerity.

Anne unconsciously touched her face. "Really?" She felt her cheeks blushed.

"So it's true. That's good. Everyone is happy." A sense of contentment could be traced from Emily's

smile.

"I don't know, but yes, I think our situation is much better than before." There was nothing Anne could

hide to Emily. She knew everything about her.

"It seems that Eddy will have a baby brother or sister sooner than I thought," Emily said with a teasing

voice while patting Anne's shoulder.

Anne couldn't help but think about that possibility too. She touched her belly inadvertently. She

remembered about that intense night she had with Kevin. Could she be pregnant right now? 'If I am,

then that would be great,' Anne said to herself.

Seeing that, Emily smiled without saying anything, and continued to eat the peeled fruit Anne prepared

for her.

In Luo Family's mansion.

It was dawn and the sun was just about to rise from its deep slumber. The soft light couldn't pass

through the thick curtains, but it made its way through the gaps between the linens, reminding Rose

that it was morning already.

Looking at Kevin, she took her phone and looked at her watch. It was six o'clock in the morning.

She got up carefully, so as to not wake the person sleeping beside her.

Yesterday, Kevin insisted on sleeping in the same bed with her. First, it made her very anxious, but he

said that it was normal for a couple to share the same bed and sleep together. Why didn't he realize

these things sooner? Losing her thoughts in Kevin, she took a good look at his sleeping face. His eyes

were closed and his eyelashes looked pretty. 'How could anyone be this handsome?' she couldn't help

but ask herself. But it was a shame because she no longer had the same feeling towards him.

When she finally got out of the bed and wore her slippers, she suddenly heard Kevin's voice. "You get

up so early. Have some more sleep."

He reached out to Rose with his hand as if he was getting her to go back to the bed.

Before Kevin could reach Rose, she abruptly answered, "You don't need to do that. I'll go to bed by

myself, okay? I'll listen to you."

"Okay," said Kevin. He then turned his back to Rose as if he was going back to sleep.

Rose wished she could kick Kevin out, but she didn't dare. She had to make a bigger space between

them and lay on the bed uneasily.

Kevin couldn't help but give a cunning smile while he pretended to be asleep.

On the other hand, Rose had no intention of sleeping even if she was lying on the bed. She endured as

if it was the longest hours of her life. She even dare not turn over, because she was afraid that

something might happened if she accidentally woke up Kevin.

Her mind was even more frustrated when the thought of Mark flashed in his mind.

She had prepared everything, but things didn't go according to her plans.

Rose cursed herself in her own thoughts. 'I deserve this. I did this to myself,' she said in her thoughts.

It was difficult for her to clearly explain things to Mark and confess to him that he was the one she really

liked in the moment, given her current predicament.

Rose broke her thought because of Kevin's sudden movements. He turned over, closing the gap

between them. Rose quickly pulled herself away from him and she almost fell under the bed. She

turned to him and saw that Kevin was still asleep, and finally decided that it was the right time for her to

get out of the bed. She cautiously got up and fortunately, she didn't woke up Kevin.

After successfully walking out of the room, she took a deep breath. She felt relieved that she finally got

rid of him for the time being.
