Renewal Of Love

Chapter 30 Taking Her Out

Kevin nodded and said expressionlessly, "I know, but I need to spend time with my child."

"You..." Anne really wanted to throw the book she held at his annoying face. But on second thought,

she could use the art of persuasion and pawn Kevin off on Cherry.

"Kevin, will you stay here with the child until it is born?"

Noticing her softer tone, Kevin glanced at her and nodded. "Yes."

"But don't forget that Cherry is waiting for you at home."

It was indeed beyond Kevin's expectation that Anne would bring up Cherry. He frowned, "What do you

mean?"

"Nothing. I just think you should spend more time with her. She's a real catch. Aren't you afraid

someone else will get her?"

"Will you also worry about me?" Kevin's sharp eyes looked at Anne, and it seemed he could see

through Anne's scheme. Kevin thought he was the only one who could choose, and no one could take

that choice away from him.

Noting the rays of cold light from his eyes, Anne raised her head and looked at him with a faint smile.

"Of course. Seriously, though—are you willing to lock yourself in this place all day long with a pregnant

woman?"

"Who said you would be locked up here all day long?"

Kevin frowned and wondered where Anne had got this idea from.

Hearing Kevin's words, Anne was in a bad mood. She sneered, "Didn't you say that? That I had to stay

here until the baby was born? You told me I wasn't allowed to go out. So are you ready for that? If you

stay with me, you'll have an idea of how it feels,"

she said this slowly, word by word. Kevin narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you want to go out so

bad, let's go!"

Seeing the dangerous look on his face, Anne didn't want to push it, but sometimes he went too far.

She'd have to challenge him on some things.

Maybe that was the only way to get Kevin to understand she was a person, not a robot. Even if he

didn't love her, it was better if he hated her.

Anne followed Kevin downstairs. To be honest, she was still very weak. It took everything she had to go

from the room to the stairs, and again from the stairs to the hall.

She was very tired, but she followed Kevin bit by bit without saying a word. Because she knew that if

she complained, Kevin might change his mind about taking her out.

She had been here a few days, but she had never gone out, nor could she even call or text anyone.

She hadn't forgotten her appointment with Ryan, but she couldn't contact him, and that would be hard

to pull off now.

When they got to the hallway, Kevin suddenly stopped and looked back at her.

She halted her steps and looked at the man in front of her, keeping her poker face.

"What do you want to eat tonight? We'll go somewhere and grab something."

Eat? Anne sneered in her heart. She didn't want to eat anything, and just wanted to go out and get

some fresh air.

If she could just get out of the house, she'd be happy, even if she had to be with Kevin. As for a choice

of meals, she didn't care.

"Alright."

She stood straight beside him, looking as imposing as him.

Glancing at her coldly, Kevin raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

The couple walked to the car. They could see the countryside in the fading light of evening, its rolling

hills, trees, and lush greenery. Everywhere Anne looked was absolutely beautiful and serene.

It was not like it was all good. It was stressful being near Kevin, but she still was in a much better

mood.

Looking at the green plants in front of her, Anne couldn't help putting her hand on her belly. "Baby,

mommy has taken you outside. Look, it's so beautiful here," she whispered.

Although she kept her voice low, Kevin could hear her clearly.

Unconsciously, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel, while he turned his head slightly and took a

look at the woman beside him. There was a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes filled

with tenderness that could rarely be seen in them.

She sat quietly beside him, with her head gently leaning against the leather seat. Her face was quiet

and elegant.

A gentle breeze tousled her hair, bringing a burst of fragrance. A vague smile appeared at the corners

of Kevin's mouth.

"Where do you want to go?"

Kevin spoke first, but Anne didn't react much. She still looked out of the window and said softly, "It's up

to you."

She was not a picky person and was easy to satisfy. She was happy she finally got out into the open

air. The most important thing now was the baby growing inside her. She knew if she were in a bad

mood all the time, the baby's health would be affected.

Since she was outside finally, she was determined to be in a good mood and enjoy this night to the

fullest.

She could just ignore Kevin. He didn't really want to be here, anyway.

"Then let's head to your house."

After hearing what the man said, Anne turned her head suddenly and asked, "What did you say? To my

house?"

She hadn't been there in a long time. Last time she was there was before she married Kevin.

Considering the life she lived then, how could she return to that house where everyone was tired of her,

where they lived to humiliate her?

"What? You don't like that idea?"

Kevin turned the car around with a cold smile.

Looking at his expression, Anne knew that he did it on purpose. It was not her own home at all. It was

the Ye Clan, Cherry's home.

"Yeah. Go ahead. Whatever you want."

Looking around, Anne felt a little sad. When she felt the breeze heralding the end of spring and the

beginning of summer, she felt chilled for some reason.

That so-called home had been meaningless to her for a long time. It had been a long time since her

mother died, and after her mother's death she vowed never to return. But Kevin insisted they visit

again.

She smiled bitterly. Kevin would never pass up an opportunity to torture her.

Anne shook her head. "Kevin, this is not cool.

I don't want to go there."

After a moment of silence, Anne chose to surrender. She didn't want to set foot in that house. She

would rather stay in the East Mountain Villa.

Kevin turned his head. It was the first time that he had seen such a firm expression on Anne's face. He

nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Anne didn't expect that Kevin would bend so easily. She bowed her head, with her good mood swept

away again.

When he realized that Anne didn't want to go there, it dawned on Kevin he said something wrong. No This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

one in her family liked her. She would be the laughingstock of her whole family if she came back.

At first, he just thought she had no friends and could drive her home to live for a period of time. But

then after he thought carefully, he found that Anne really had nowhere to go except to stay with him.

He was sympathetic to her but he knew she was obstinate when she wanted to be. It was also her

stubbornness that made Kevin want to hurt her again and again to make her bend.

Kevin didn't take Anne to a restaurant for dinner. He drove to the riverside park and then stopped.

"What are we doing here?"

Anne couldn't understand what was going on Kevin's head. He said they were going to have dinner.

Why did he suddenly come here?

"It's pretty here. I want to take in the sights."

Kevin eased the seat back and lay down leisurely. He closed his eyes and rested his hands behind his

head, feeling extremely comfortable.

He should have taken a shower, and the black color on his face had long since disappeared, replaced

by a clean and resolute face.

His hair was neatly combed, and half of his forehead was covered by his bangs. Under his hair were

two dashing eyebrows, which made him look strong.

At this moment, his expression was much gentler than before, and his breath was not so cold as it used

to be.

Anne stared at him a few times, but soon she was attracted by his face and couldn't tear her gaze

away.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I can't guarantee that I won't take advantage of it."

When he spoke, Anne's heart suddenly trembled. She quickly turned her head to look out of the

window, but her face was as hot as fire.

It was so humiliating for her to be horny right now. Not to mention it was Kevin. What was she thinking?

"Ha-ha." Kevin chuckled and turned to look at her, "You know, sometimes you're not that annoying."

Her heart skipped a beat, and her body froze. Hearing this, Anne wrinkled her nose and asked softly,

"What do you mean?"

He had always told her she was annoying. Why did he say that all of a sudden?

Kevin blinked his eyes and said in a low voice, "I said what I said. What part didn't you understand?"

"All of it." Anne shut him down without any hesitation. She wasn't going to guess what Kevin was really

thinking. "How should I know what you're thinking?"

"Tell me, what kind of home life did you have when you were a kid?"

Kevin stood up quickly, and the huge shadow shrouded Anne, who could clearly smell a scent that was

Kevin's and his alone.

It was a pleasant smell, though she couldn't tell if it was his natural smell or the scent of tobacco. For a

moment, Anne was mesmerized by such smell.

Kevin leaned aside. The street lamp overhead cast a yellow light, and his deep eyes were sparkling.

"I..."

She didn't know why Kevin suddenly asked this question. But when he mentioned her past, she felt

heartbreaking pain. Her past could only be described in four words.

Nothing but unbearable memories.

"Tell me."

His lazy voice rang in her ears. Anne raised her chin and asked, "Why do you ask? Don't you know

already?"

He knew how she grew up. It was ironic to ask her at this moment.

Kevin shook his head, "Not really. I have my own ideas, but I want to hear it from you."

He knew what kind of person Anne was then, but he didn't know much about her past.

For example, what kind of environment could make her turn out like this? Even with everyone hating

her, she still managed to endure it. She had a sense of self, as much as her family tried to quash it.
