Renewal Of Love

Chapter 23 Moving In

Kevin's body froze. He glanced at Anne, only to find that her gleaming dark eyes were neither humble

nor pushy.

Neither humble nor pushy? Shocked by his own thoughts, he wondered why he saw that in Anne's

eyes.

She was clearly a vicious woman. In spite of her haggard appearance and the fact that she was

pregnant with his child, he knew that her spitefulness would never change.

He averted his eyes from her and got back to flirting with Cherry.

Instead of avoiding the intimacy between the two, Anne sat on the sofa and started reading the

magazine in her hands quietly.

It was a parenting magazine providing information about what women should pay attention to during

their pregnancy. Sam had bought it for her so that she could kill time. Although she was not interested

in it at first, today she was unexpectedly committed to reading it.

The other two people sitting on the sofa were instead beginning to feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing

that Anne hadn't thrown a single glance at them, Cherry was seething in her place restlessly.

She decided to do something to attract Anne's attention.

"Kevin, will you take me out tonight?"

Kevin's mind had been absent so far. Even though he appeared to be engaged in conversation with

Cherry, his gaze kept drifting to Anne from time to time.

What was wrong with that woman sitting there calmly?

"Okay. Where do you want to go?" Placing a finger under Cherry's delicate chin, he lifted it up and

flashed her a charming smile. He had deliberately raised his voice so that Anne, who was sitting next to

them, could hear its husky and seductive tone clearly.

She turned the page quietly, still engrossed in her read.

Although Cherry was aware of Kevin's real purpose, hearing his voice made her heart beat faster and

her breath quicken unavoidably.

"I want to sing. Just the two of us. Okay?" She softly brushed her lips on Kevin's cheek and put her

arms around his neck.

Kevin snorted. Seeing that Anne still didn't react, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He didn't know why, but Anne's attitude today inflicted uneasiness upon him.

"Anne, are you going with us?"

Hearing her name, Anne raised her head while still turning the page. She seemed to have heard their

conversation just now.

"No, thanks. I'm pregnant. It's not convenient for me to go out," she answered in a calm and decisive

tone.

"You..." Kevin was about to lose his temper, but he couldn't find any reason for that.

His face turning livid, he saw Anne's calm expression and felt a surge of gloominess washing over him.

"Anne, going out for a walk is good for the baby. How about we go together?" With anger bubbling up in

her chest, Cherry forced a smile.

"No, thanks. You two have fun tonight. I'm going to see if dinner is ready."

After putting down her magazine, Anne stood up and looked away. She then turned around and left

unhurriedly.

Kevin couldn't help it and stood up abruptly, pushing Cherry away.

"Ah!" Stunned by his unexpected rudeness, Cherry screamed. But as soon as she did that, she

covered her lips immediately. "Kevin, what's wrong with you?"

"There's something I need to tell Anne. Wait for me here!"

After throwing an irritated look at Cherry, he quickly rushed to catch up with Anne.

"Anne, I heard that you haven't eaten anything recently."

Without turning her head, Anne stopped and replied coldly, "I can't eat anything. It's not that I don't

want to."

"Is there any difference?" She felt a gust of gelid air swarming over her skin from behind, giving her

goose bumps.

She bit her lips and turned around to look Kevin in the eye. "Don't worry. I won't starve the baby out."

"How can I know that it's not hungry?" He shoot a pointing look at her. "From today on, I will stay with

you until the baby is born!"

"What?" She suddenly raised her head and looked at him in disbelief. Did she hear it right? Did Kevin

mean that he would be around her until she would give birth to the baby?

No, absolutely not!

"Why... Why?"

Anne wanted to refuse him, but she couldn't find a good reason to do so. As the father, he had always

attached great importance to the child.

It was normal for him to be around the baby, and she had no excuses to object.

But her heart was full of reasons for her not to accept that.

"Do you need a reason?" Kevin's tone was calm but charged with hidden warning. "How can I know

that you're not doing something harmful to avoid giving birth to the baby?"

It turned out to be like that. A bitter smile appeared on Anne's face.

'Right. This is what Kevin must think of me, isn't it? That I would be capable of hurting my own unborn

baby.'

"Kevin, am I such a bad person in your heart?"

Her eyes were calm as a lake untouched by the wind. Peering into them, Kevin felt somehow sad.

He averted his gaze with a nervous expression spreading on his face.

"Aren't you? How do you think I picture you in my mind?"

Anne shook her head. "I don't know. It's your decision."

Then, she strode off. Soon, her voice could be heard from the kitchen, still crisp and loud, as if nothing

had happened.

Left alone outside the door, Kevin punched the wall beside him.

The noise startled the servant passing by, and Cherry gradually narrowed her eyes from behind.

At the table, Anne lowered her head to eat. The food was delicious, but she didn't have any appetite.

She felt uncomfortable, and her condition was getting worse and worse.

"Come on, Kevin. Eat more."

Cherry lifted the chopsticks and brought them to Kevin's mouth, who obediently ate all the food. After

the meal, she remembered to return the favor and flirt with him.

Although she didn't want to pay attention to their display of affection, Anne couldn't help but feel

disgusted by them.

Noticing that Anne hadn't eaten anything yet, Cherry put down her chopsticks and began to act

worried.

"Anne, what's wrong with you? You look so haggard. Why don't you eat more? Look at you. You

haven't eaten anything yet."

Lowering her gaze, Anne smiled. "Don't worry about me, as long as you enjoy your food."

"What are you talking about? We can't ignore you while we're all eating together. Right?" As she

finished speaking, she handed a piece of greasy meat over to Anne. "Eat up. Only in this way can you

give birth to a strong baby!"

The smell of fat filled Anne's nostrils in an instant. As she covered her mouth, a surge of nausea took

over her stomach. She couldn't help but get up from the table and rush to the bathroom.

As if on cue, Kevin stood up too, but then sat back down quietly.

Vomiting was normal for pregnant women. He didn't have to be so apprehensive.

"I'm going to check on her." Cherry frowned slightly, and a line of worry appeared on her small

forehead. She stood up and walked toward the bathroom with an arrogant smile on her face.

"Anne, are you okay?"

As she watched Anne throwing up again and again, Emily felt terribly anxious. She had no idea why

Sam hadn't come back yet. She really hoped that Cherry could leave as soon as possible.

Otherwise, who knew how bad they would torture her.

"Oh, what a mess!" Suddenly, Cherry popped up behind Anne, who was in no mood to talk to her.

With her face pale and tired, she kept throwing up, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Cherry crossed her arms and leaned casually against the door. To be honest, she really enjoyed seeing

Anne in such pain.

"Pregnancy is not an easy thing. Luckily, you have helped me with it. Otherwise, it would have been

really troublesome."

Sneering, Cherry felt happy at the sight of Anne bending down and throwing up in the washbasin

Anne tried her best to straighten up and looked Cherry straight in the eye. "Cherry, you don't have to

come here to see me vomiting, do you? Don't you think it's dirty?"

"You..."

Cherry choked on her words. She frowned, but her expression did not change much. She didn't have to

care about what Anne said. As long as she could get through those months, everything there would

eventually belong to her.

After calming herself down, she softened her expression and forced a smile. "I don't dislike you. If I do,

wouldn't that mean I will dislike your baby as well?"

She then squatted down beside Anne, her beautiful eyes staring into Anne's dark gaze, overflowing

with an inexplicable emotion.

All of a sudden, she felt a little pity for Anne.

She looked pale and her long eyelashes were trembling. She seemed so weak.

Cherry felt sorry for her, but the disgust in her heart could not be eradicated.

"You have no right to dislike the baby in my womb. Just give birth to one yourself if you can!" With

Emily's help, Anne stood up and uttered calmly, "Don't worry, Cherry. I will never take away from you

what's yours. But as to what's mine, don't ever dream you can get your hands on it! " This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Throwing a last glance at Cherry, she walked out. Her stride was confident, but only she knew how

hard it was to even take a few steps.

"Anne, just wait and see!"

Consumed by anger, Cherry stamped her feet, but all she could do was watch Anne walk away.

After she had returned to the table, Anne didn't eat anything.
