Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 47

Sometimes, Anne really envied Emily. She had a good family and parents who loved her. She was lovely and innocent like any other girls of her age.

She was like a bottle of pure filtered water, so fresh and crystalline that everyone wanted her.

Anne lowered her eyes. The sounds outside finally stopped. She didn't know what they were saying later on when she was lost in thought.

"Anne, he's here to pick you up."

Sam's voice bounced Anne out of her thoughts. She raised her head suddenly and asked, "What?"

Why would Kevin want to pick her up? Didn't he hate her? He believed she pushed Ruth down the stairs, so there was no love lost there. Why would he take her home?

"Emily, help her pack her things."

Kevin entered the room, as if he didn't care how Anne reacted at all. Since he promised Sam he'd settle this matter for Anne, he was going to keep her close.

Emily cast an embarrassed look at Anne. Judging from her expression, it was obvious that Anne didn't want to go anywhere with Kevin.

"Kevin, what do you think you're doing?"

Anne raised her eyebrows and asked, "Isn't that you don't you trust me?"

"I didn't say I trust you now. "But I have to protect my kid," said Kevin ruthlessly.

He knew Alan was vengeful. Anne had put his sister in a vegetative state, after all. How could Alan let that slide?

When he left this morning, Roy told him Alan had put a price on her head, and was looking into hit men who might do the job.

If he hadn't let Sam know, the latter wouldn't have agreed to let him take Anne with him.

"No. I'm not going with you."

Anne wasn't going to stay with someone who didn't trust her. She would rather stay in the hospital until the baby was born.

"Anne, don't make this any harder than it has to be."

Kevin had never been patient with Anne. Seeing her temperamental like that, he was not in the mood to play around.

Anne's eyes were as calm as water.

"I said I wouldn't go with you."

She was so stubborn. She wanted to pretend she was tough around Kevin. Even if her heart was already riddled with holes, she would still hold on and show him her strong side.

Because Anne was behaving that way, Sam decided to step in. He didn't like the idea of her going with Kevin, but he understood why. Kevin was right.

Only Kevin could defend her from Alan.

"You'd better go with him, Anne."

This really flabbergasted Anne. Wasn't Sam always on her side? Why would he speak up for Kevin like that?

When Anne was looking at him in surprise, Sam just looked away and kept silent.

Emily was also confused. She couldn't understand why Sam said that.

"Emily, help her get packed," he said.

Then he turned and left the ward.

Looking at his receding figure, Emily frowned. What was wrong with Sam? This wasn't like him at all.

Hearing that, Emily didn't hesitate anymore. She helped Anne gather up her luggage.

She believed that as long as Sam thought it was okay, there must be a good reason.

Anne slowly sat up straight, and looked into Kevin's eyes. She didn't like what she saw there. So she made her gaze just as cold. Her pale face turned white, like a shard of piercing ice.

She got in the car, Kevin's exclusive luxury car.

While sitting in the familiar seat, Anne habitually looked out of the window. Kevin sat beside her. They were so close that they could hear every breath, every heartbeat.

Looking out of the window at the neon lights, Anne couldn't help but sigh in her heart, 'How time flies! I'm not ready yet.'

"Where do you want to go?"

Hearing Kevin's question, Anne moved her shoulder and said, "Wherever."

She didn't understand why Kevin asked her where she wanted to go.

Ridiculous! Did she have a choice?

"Hey, can you stop talking to me like that?" Kevin was furious. He didn't know what was on Anne's mind. He'd made compromises, trying to be nicer to her. Why didn't she understand his good intentions?

"Kevin, I don't want to fight."

Anne curled up while leaning against the window. She was so tired and didn't want to talk, especially to the man beside her. She knew that he didn't love her, but he had to take some responsibilities.

In that case, he would just end up resenting her.

"I didn't know we were fighting."

Kevin stretched out his hand and spun her around, forcing her to look at him.

When he saw her pale, beautiful face, his heart twitched. He frowned. Since when did he feel heartbroken when he saw this face?

"Sorry, I was wrong." Anne looked away and the camel shawl draped over her slid to her elbow. The night wind whipped her long hair, and she shivered from the chill.

"Don't you have a brain? Close the window!"

Hearing the roar, their driver immediately rolled up all the windows. When Kevin was angry, others tended to be careful.

"Anne, it's high time you swallowed your pride and did the right thing!"

After scolding the driver, Kevin turned on Anne.

He really hated her stubbornness. She was always so high and mighty. Who was she showing off to? What did she think she had to prove?

"Whatever you say." Anne raised her hand, pushed his hand away and said, "You don't have to get so angry. Don't worry about me and you will find your life a lot happier. Why are you always mad?"

After saying that, she smiled coldly at him.

"You—" Kevin was speechless with anger. "I just care about my baby."

Yes, from beginning to end, he cared so much about her safety and her health only because of the baby she carried.

When she didn't eat, he couldn't stop thinking about how weak she might get, so he tried his best to learn cooking.

If she got into trouble, he would rush over and deal with whatever he needed to.

However, all this was for the child.

Kevin's words didn't affect Anne's mood. Instead, she smiled calmly.

"I know. I'll make sure the baby is safe and sound." With a smile in her eyes, Anne continued, "After the baby is born, I'll let you live a quiet life, and then you don't need to see me anymore."

Kevin smiled. "Yeah, I can't wait."

After that, the two of them didn't say a word. The driver in the front was sweating. He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that he would anger Kevin again.

After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Young Master, where are we going?"

"Where do you think we should go?" After another roar, Kevin said impatiently, "Take us to your hostess' house."

Anne frowned and asked in confusion, "Why do you want to go to my house?"

"Didn't you say you didn't care where we went?" Kevin closed his eyes to rest and kept silent.

Anne pursed her lips and looked away from Kevin's profile and his cold expression.

Since Kevin left with Anne, Emily had been worried. After hesitating for a long time, she walked to Sam's office.

Sam stood in front of the office window. He wore a white gown, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. His expression was cheerless.

Standing at the door, Emily raised her hand and knocked.

"Come in, please."

Without turning his head, Sam asked, "What's up?"

"Sam, it's me." Emily bit her lips and walked around Sam so she stood beside him.

When he knew it was Emily, Sam turned to face her, taking another sip of coffee. "Why are you here? Are they gone?"

Sam walked to his desk and sat down, motioning for Emily to do the same.

"Yes, they left." Emily nodded. "Something's bugging me, so I want to ask you."

"It's about why I agreed to let Kevin take care of Anne, isn't it?" Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Sam pinched between his eyebrows with his index finger.

Emily couldn't help nodding. "Yeah, I don't get it. You know that Kevin thinks Anne hurt Ruth. I'm afraid that he will do something to Anne."

Emily felt sick whenever she thought of Kevin's behavior a few days ago. And today, she noticed that when Anne followed Kevin to leave forlornly, she had lost her elegance and liveliness. Even from the back she seemed lonely.

Obviously, Anne didn't want to go with Kevin.

"It's not Kevin she needs to worry about." With a serious look on his face, Sam said, "Ruth's brother is on the warpath. Even now, he's consulting with professionals to hurt Anne. I thought it was a good idea for Kevin to be there to protect her."

"What? What was Alan planning?" Emily shouted. "Will Anne be all right?"

Sam shook his head. He wasn't sure either. Alan was cruel and merciless. If he really made up his mind to hurt Anne, only Kevin could help her.

"No wonder you agreed." Emily lowered her eyebrows and said worriedly, "I hope everything will turn out okay."

"So, are you free tonight?" Sam changed the subject and said in a much brisk tone.

Emily raised her eyes and asked in confusion, "What's up?"

"Do you remember that I asked you to have dinner with my family?"

Emily quickly blushed bright red. It was getting hot in there. Looking at Sam's handsome face, she didn't know how to respond.

"Did you forget?" As he saw that Emily didn't answer, the corners of his mouth twitched. 'How could she forget things so quickly?'

"Of course not!" Hearing that, Emily immediately shook her head with a smile on her face. She said, "Of course I remember. Tonight? I'm free. When do you want to do this?"

"Well, pretty soon." Sam raised his hand and looked at the quartz watch on his wrist. Then he asked, "How about eight o'clock tonight?"
