Renewal Of Love

Chapter 18 Argument Over Their Son

Anne felt depressed and uneasy because of her dream. She intended to leave the room after she

washed up, but she stopped, hand frozen on the doorknob.

She could hear Sam and Emily talking in the living room.

Emily said, "It's Cherry. Want me to shoo her away?"

"Yes," Sam replied.

After a while, Anne heard the door opening. And she lost all her strength at that moment. She simply

turned around and headed towards the sofa.

That sofa was moved into her room two days ago. Before her pregnancy, she had almost no time to

rest in her room.

After she got pregnant, she seemed to be tired all the time. So the sofa was a good thing.

Now, she couldn't hear what was going on outside. She didn't want to hear Cherry's voice at all. She

was more annoying than a devil.

Anne couldn't help but touch her abdomen again, with her beautiful eyebrows still frowning. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

A few minutes later, Emily came into the living room with a big smile on her face. "I told her to scram."

"Well, go and see if Anne's awake yet."

"Okay."

When Emily opened the door, she saw that Anne was lying on the sofa. She was frowning, and looking

out the window absent-mindedly.

Emily was a little worried and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Sort of. Bad dreams keep me up." Although Anne's voice was calm, Emily could feel the sadness in

her voice, which made her mood take a nosedive.

She didn't know what was bringing Anne down. She thought it was just because she was pregnant.

She never imagined it might be the agreement between Anne and Kevin. Emily tried to comfort her. "I

can ask Mr. Sam for something to help you sleep. Want me to do that?"

Just then, Sam walked in.

Anne looked back at him and said, "How am I supposed to feel comfortable with all this if you won't let

me work?"

Emily looked at Sam helplessly.

Sam's expression remained unchanged, as if what Anne said was something unimportant, like "the

wind is too strong today."

He said, "Breakfast is ready. Let's eat."

Emily hurried to help Anne to her feet.

The two of them didn't tell Anne that Cherry dropped by. And Anne pretended she didn't know.

It was as if Cherry had never appeared in her life.

But any peace she had couldn't last. A few hours later, the doorbell rang again.

Emily shot Sam a look and said, "I'll get it!"

She and Sam had an understanding—she would answer it as long as the doorbell rang. The mission

was to get rid of all the people who shouldn't have come over.

Anne was looking at her lemon tree on the balcony. She didn't have to worry about anything right now.

Anything that was, other than eating and sleeping. She needed to stay in a good mood and wait for the

baby to be born.

The thought of the baby stung her heart again.

When she opened the door, Emily was startled by the sight that met her eyes. Kevin and Cherry were

there on the doorstep. Cherry held Kevin's arm gently. "Is Anne feeling better now?" Cherry asked in a

concerned tone. "I'm also the kid's mom, after all. I'd like to see him."

Anne sat on the balcony, and overheard this exchange. Her hand was touching the leaves, which were

as sharp as a needle. Bright red blood dripped from her finger.

However, she had no idea that her dream last night might come true. In her dream, her child called

Cherry "mother" and didn't know her at all.

Kevin's handsome eyebrows twisted, and he seemed to emit an aura of pure evil. He was tall and

dignified. He stretched out his hand and brushed Emily away. "Why didn't you tell me that Anne was

under the weather?"

Emily was blown away again. By the time she realized what had happened, she could no longer stop

the two of them.

Kevin had already taken Cherry to the center of the living room. That morning, Emily found an excuse

to keep Cherry out, but now she was back, this time on Kevin's arm.

Seeing Anne standing on the balcony, Cherry walked closer to her. Her voice was full of worry. "Why

aren't you sleeping? Get some rest. Ah! Why is your hand bleeding?"

When Kevin heard that Anne's hand was bleeding, his forehead twitched. He walked to Anne in a few

steps. Before he could reach out his hand, Sam had come over and taken Anne's hand.

Seeing that, Kevin felt his heart hurt, as if there was a knife in it. But there was nothing he could do.

Just when Kevin was starting to get quite anxious, Anne gently pulled her hand back.

She frowned and said unhappily, "It doesn't matter. All of you, please leave. I'm tired and need to lie

down."

She ignored them and went straight to her room.

In fact, she was angry. Why on earth Kevin showed up with Cherry like that? Why did Cherry feel the

need to show up at all?

She didn't want to see any of them.

"I have something to tell you." Heedless of Anne's long face, Kevin took her hand and led her to the

room.

The remaining three people looked at them in surprise.

Cherry wanted to stop this, but she couldn't interfere too much. She had already taken a risk, bringing

Kevin here.

If she did something else, she would cross the line.

She could only look at the closed door, nervous and uneasy.

Sam also wanted to stop them, but he still remembered his promise to Anne that they would not fight

again. He was afraid that it would start a fight if he confronted Kevin at all.

On the other hand, Emily was afraid that only a few words between Anne and Kevin would cause a

quarrel, which would affect her mood and the baby.

In fact, she didn't need to worry about it. "What did you want to say?" Anne asked coldly, shaking off

Kevin's hand.

Kevin pressed his lips and didn't say anything. His cold eyebrows and eyes raised, as if he were

smiling. He was in a good mood, looking at Anne's abdomen. "My son, Daddy's here to see you," he

said, slowly.

This sentence startled Anne. The child was still very young and could not hear what he said at all.

What was more, he just called the baby "son," which pissed Anne off.

Her face was paler than before. She said angrily, "Okay. But just one little thing..."

Kevin must have woken up on the right side of bed, for once. He didn't get angry when he heard Anne

correct him. Instead, he had a good attitude. He smiled and said, "Go ahead."

With a grim look on her face, Anne said in a colder tone, "Quit assuming it's a boy. We don't know the

sex of the baby yet. It could be a boy or a girl!"

If it was a girl, the scene in her dream would not happen.

Anne tried to comfort herself with that thought.

But in fact, she really wanted to tell him this a few days ago.

In a confident, arrogant tone, Kevin continued with a smile, "I like girls. If it's not a boy, we'll have

another one. Don't forget—it's in the contract."

"You..." Anne was furious.

It was so easy for him to say "have another baby", as if it were easy to get pregnant. But this was not

the case for her and Kevin. They had to have sex several times a week, and each time, he would

torture her for a long time before he stopped.

She once wondered if there was something wrong with Kevin, or if it was her fault that it took so long to

get pregnant.

They never used any protection, and they ate healthy. Besides, the two of them were both very able-

bodied. Why was it so difficult to conceive a child?

When she was finally pregnant, of course she was happy and cherished it. But the process was not as

simple as he said.

Kevin didn't notice what was on Anne's mind. He had done what he should do. He said in a good

mood, "My son, I'm leaving. I'll come to see you again when I have time."

"I'm warning you, Kevin. Don't come around here if you're going to call our kid your son. We just don't

know!" Anne warned in a fierce tone.

Kevin laughed and said without any trace of fear, "Then I'll call it baby. Baby, is that okay? Whether it is

a boy or a girl, I'll love it all the same."

He stared at Anne's abdomen with a smile and said lovingly, "Baby, I'm leaving. If you miss me, tell me.

I'll come to see you at once."

How could it tell him? Anne was sneering in her mind Daydreaming?

But when she thought of the dream, her face turned cold again. She urged Kevin to leave impatiently,

"Get out. I'm tired."

After saying that, she walked to the bedside. Kevin couldn't stay here any longer. Before he left, he said

to Anne's back, "Baby, Daddy is leaving."

In the living room, Kevin solemnly told Emily to take good care of his baby and blamed her for not

taking good care of it as well.

Sam was a little annoyed, but he couldn't get angry with Kevin overtly; he could only express his

dissatisfaction with his actions.

He paced back and forth in front of Kevin, and even kept mopping the floor, taking care to get Kevin's

feet as wet as possible. As a result, Kevin finally realized that Sam was driving him away.

"Are you trying to say something?" Kevin asked angrily

With a straight face, Sam said, "I'm surprised it took you this long."

"You!" Kevin was so angry that he gritted his teeth and found that he had indeed stayed here for a long

time, but he refused to admit it. "You should be the one leaving. This is my place."

"Then I'll leave with Anne." Then Sam put down the mop and walked towards the door of Anne's room.

Kevin got angry and said, "I'm taking off. This house is too small. I don't want to stay here! You can

move to the East Mountain Villa tomorrow."

Then he took Cherry's arm and walked out.

Emily was standing aside and secretly gave a thumbs up to Sam.

Instead of lying on the bed, Anne leaned on the sofa with a bolster in her arms. She hadn't made any

business calls in three days. Was everything running smoothly?

Did Kevin sign the contract with KIA?

All kinds of things were bothering her, making her very uneasy.

"Hey, Anne, you're still awake." Emily appeared in front of Anne with a smile.

Getting her thoughts under control, Anne looked at Emily intently and said, "Emily, can you do me a

favor?"
