Renewal Of Love

Chapter 17 Let Him Wait

Anne built up the courage to stand up from the sofa. She stared at Kevin and spoke with conviction. "I

need to ask you something."

Kevin was startled. His eyes shifted away from Anne for a few seconds before he asked, "What's the

matter?"

"Why did you have to fight?" Neither too slow nor in a hurry, the tone of her voice was undeviating and

full of certainty.

Kevin cleared his throat and stood arrogantly. Despite the fact that he was driven to the corner, he still

said confidently, "Private matters."

"Really?" Anne raised her eyebrows. It turned out that she did not really want to know the reason as to

why they did it. She changed her posture and said, "I don't care why you did it. There is one thing I

need to say in front of you two. I don't need any of you to take care of me!"

She turned her attention to Sam. After hearing her announcement, Sam was taken aback.

"Sam, I can take care of myself. I don't need you to stay by my side every minute of the day." She was

quite adamant when she told Sam what she wanted him to do. Her eyes showed vulnerability, but they

were definitely convincing.

Then she turned her gaze back to Kevin.

The way she looked at Kevin was intimidating and cold. "I don't need you to take care of me either. Let

Emily go back to work. You'd better not show up in front of me!"

"No way!"

"I don't agree to this either!"

Kevin and Sam both refused her proposal. They were totally against her decision.

Anne glared at the two of them for a while and did not answer immediately. After a brief pause, she

said, "I don't want to be affected by your squalor. If you want to maintain our current situation, I suggest

that the two of you try to get along with each other.

The mood of a pregnant woman directly affects that of the fetus, resulting in the formation of the child's

personality. If you don't want my child to be a violent man in the future, then give me some peace and

quiet," she said whilst stroking her belly.

Her words resounded so powerful that it made them silent for a few seconds Emily was dumbfounded

by what she heard.

Kevin scowled at Sam defiantly and clenched his fists, ready to unleash his anger at a moment's

notice.

Sam held back and looked straight into Anne's eyes. He zipped his mouth and did not utter a single

word. Even if he didn't say anything, she knew that he finally agreed.

Sam was still furious at Kevin for all he tolerated. He would definitely get his revenge, even if it wasn't

today. Even if he didn't do it now, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe even one month or one

year later. Sooner or later, he would get his revenge.

"And…" Anne glanced at Kevin and spoke. "Although you're a violent person, you can train your son

from an early age. If you don't want him to be like you, you'd better set an example for him from now

on!"

Kevin glared at Anne while pointing his finger at her and said, "You!" He felt insulted by what Anne had

just said to him.

However, upon thinking about it, what she said made sense to him. He really didn't want his son to be Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

hot-tempered just like him.

In his mind, he hoped that his son would grow as a person of good character, someone who knew how

to handle pain and emotions rightly. He wanted him to be way better than he was at the moment.

The thought made his emotions subside. Even so, he did not agree to how Anne articulated those

thoughts to him.

But she was pregnant. No matter how affront she was, he had no choice but to tolerate and endure

anything she would say.

"Emily, let's go." Anne turned around and asked Emily to leave with her. She went to the door,

approached the waiter standing there, and said, "That's the person that broke your dishware, don't let

him leave without paying for the damages."

"Yes, Madam," the waiter responded.

Sam acted like he was not one of the culprits and inconspicuously followed Anne outside.

The waiter just stared at him as he followed Anne.

Kevin got angry again when he saw him leave as if he was not partly to blame for the mess. He was

really getting into his nerves. He immediately tried to run after Sam.

The waiter blocked his way and said, "Sir, you haven't paid yet."

"Why don't you ask him for it?" Kevin turned his eyes away from the waiter. He found himself enraged

while watching Sam get away from the mess that he also made. "Why are you letting him go? He also

caused this mess!"

"He's our boss, we can just deduct the damages from his salary." The waiter's behavior was not

surprising.

"You..." Kevin furiously slammed a credit card to the ground, and walked away from the waiter.

In the car, Anne leaned her head against the window and slowly closed her eyes. This was an

exhausting day for a pregnant woman like her.

"I'm sorry," Sam said in a very sincere tone. At last, he was able to say something.

But it didn't sound convincing to Anne. She furrowed her eyebrows as if she was disturbed in her rest.

Anne loosened her brows, but she was still clearly upset. Her irritation was written all over her face.

Sam just kept silent. He looked away and focused on driving.

Emily felt uneasy. She was not used to this kind of unhandy situation. She thought of breaking the

silence but she was afraid that it would just make it more awkward for all of them.

Emily bit her lip. She couldn't stand it anymore. Surprisingly, Anne said calmly, "Ask Emily to apply

some medicine on your wounds when you get home."

Hearing this, Emily felt relieved. She almost sang a song because of how happy she felt.

Based on what she heard, she realized that Anne had already forgiven Sam.

She caught a glimpse of Sam. He did not say a word but the corner of his lips were curved into a smile.

The thought that the two had already reconciled made her heart flutter. They had finally let go of their

resentments.

The test results were released. Sam reviewed the results and found nothing unusual. Afterwards, he

asked someone to send the report to the Fu Family.

After receiving the test results, Selma immediately notified Cherry through a phone call. "Don't worry,

Cherry. Anne is really pregnant. Just now, Sam sent us the diagnosis. She is indeed pregnant." She

grinned from ear to ear and continued to talk through the phone, "She and Kevin will divorce in nine

months. Then you will become Kevin's wife."

Only then did Cherry feel a little satisfied.

She did not bother to ask Kevin a favor for Ruth's sake. She explained to Alan and Ruth that Anne was

currently pregnant and urged Ruth to bear with it for a month. In front of Kevin, she affirmed that he

was right with his decision and that Ruth could learn a lot from it.

She was an exquisite and silver-tongued person who always knew how to get what she wanted. What

happened in the hospital today was a manifestation of how persuasive of a woman she could be. As a

matter of fact, everything was according to plan including the timing that Anne would be in the hospital

today.

Anne was undeniably tired after dealing with the fight between Kevin and Sam. She was too dispirited

after she had dinner, so Sam called a doctor for her.

He was afraid that Anne wouldn't listen to his suggestions as she might thought he was being too

serious, so he arranged another doctor to provide her with regular checkups.

Anne accepted it.

The second day after leaving work, she found herself so lethargic and uneasy. She didn't have the

appetite to eat, nor could she sleep properly.

Emily told her that she would overcome everything and would eventually get used to it in the long run.

She ensured that Anne will be fine once she got used to it.

Emily once again told Kevin that Anne asked her to call Ryan.

Kevin furrowed his brows and said, "There's no need to call him. Don't let Anne worry about the

company's affairs."

Since he got back in April, Kevin fastened himself to the office of AN Group. He kept himself busy

through reading documents or discussing important projects, upholding it for revisions with the senior

leaders. He barely spent time for himself. He even kept his lunchtime under ten minutes.

He had never felt so exhausted in his duties as a president before. Ever since Anne entered the AN

Group, he was able to relax a little and spend some time doing what he wanted. He treated Cherry

luxuriously. He would either take her on a vacation or spend time with her in a hotel.

In the past two days, he came to realize that he might have been putting a lot of burden on Anne, and

she had become burnt out while he was off having the time of his life with Cherry. He felt a hint of guilt.

As for Ryan, it was his loss that he didn't sign the contract. If KIA decided to delay the contract, Kevin

could wait. He didn't care, anyway!

If the contract between AN Group and KIA was delayed for one day, KIA's daily income would be

reduced by millions. Several other high-level KIA executives asked Ryan at least four times a day

about how the project was handled.

Ryan always told them the same, "It's still being resolved."

"Mr. Ryan, , please hurry up. The annual settlement is about to arrive. We are also counting on this

project to support the revenue of our Greater China region," Tony helplessly said.

However, the expression on Ryan's face hardly changed, as if he was sure about this project.

But his secretary saw him frowning in the office several times, even walking back and forth in front of

the floor-to-ceiling window in frustration. Sometimes, he coped up with the stress through smoking a

few cigarettes in a row.

'Mr. Bryan must have encountered problems that are too difficult to solve in the meantime. The biggest

suspicion is the AN Group's project, ' the secretary thought.

Ryan dialed Anne's number countless times, yet it seemed that she was unavailable whenever he

called. "The number you dialed is powered off. Please redial later."

He was so furious that he took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and inhaled the smoke directly into

his lungs.

'Anne, are you in trouble? How can I contact you?' The more Ryan thought about it, the more restless

he became.

This was probably the most challenging problem he had encountered ever since he came back.

Anne couldn't sleep well. She was turning from side to side as she dreamt of her child, a charming little

boy.

"Mom Mom…" He was so lovely and adorable. There were tears falling from his round eyes. He looked

quite pitiful.

He was traipsing around with his short legs as he looked for his mother everywhere.

Anne felt a hint of ache in her heart seeing him crying in her dreams. She quickly said, "Baby, mommy

is here."

She squatted down and opened her arms to hug him, but he walked past her like she was nothing in

the wind. The little boy was bursting in tears and shouted, "Mom, where are you? Don't leave me alone.

I'm so afraid, I can't live without a mother!"

Anne's heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife in side. She felt so much pain that she could barely

breathe. Her tears fell uncontrollably as she picked up the little boy. "Baby, I am your mother."

The little boy squirmed and cried loudly, "You're not my mother. You're not! Mommy, mommy!"

He suddenly stopped crying and shouted with joy as he waved his hand at someone behind Anne.

Anne was stunned. She turned around and saw Cherry smiling cheerfully and heading towards the little

boy.

The little boy ran to Cherry and shouted happily, "Mommy, mommy!"

With a loving smile, Cherry lifted him up and said, "My boy, Mommy will always be with you."

"No, you are not his mother. I am his mother!" Anne burst in tears and did not know what to do. She

panicked and went after them.

However, the two of them paid her no attention. It seemed like they couldn't see her at all.

Anne's heart felt so painful that she could no longer breathe. It was like her heart had been taken away

from her chest. She couldn't accept it. It was obviously her child whom she had carried for nine months

in her womb. How couldn't he recognize his own mother?

She chased after them like crazy.

She woke up from her dream and bolted upright. She was clearly in shock. Her eyes were full of fear

and anxiety. It took a few minutes before she calmed down.

The feeling of having her heart taken away felt so real. She touched her belly subconsciously and

furrowed her brows.

"Baby, will you recognize me in the future?" she murmured to herself in distress.
