Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 119

"Auntie, I'm afraid that if you do this, Kevin will be unhappy. I don't want him to be angry at me,"

Cherry said in a low voice, pretending to be embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I will just tell him that I am taking care of it. I will make sure Kevin will not have a problem with you. Just wait and be the good future daughter-in-law that you have to be,"

Selma said while smiling and holding Cherry's hand.

"Ah, thanks a lot, Auntie! If I do hit the jackpot and end up marrying Kevin, I will be filial to you then."

Cherry get more confidence and security in her heart whenever she remembered Selma's promise to her.

Kevin would definitely stop being perfunctory if Selma continuously pressured him.

"Good, good. That's what I want to hear."

Selma was more and more impressed with Cherry, her chosen daughter-in-law to be. Cherry was obviously better than Anne.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Kevin's slender figure appeared in front of them. His dark eyes glinted with traces of suspicion as he looked at Selma.

"What are you doing here?"

He took off his coat and sat down in front of Selma. His tone was casual, but there was no lack of respect.

"Am I not allowed to visit my son? You're so busy with the business that I hardly see you nowadays,"

Selma complained.

"Of course you can visit me. I was actually planning to visit you in a couple of days." Kevin giggled at the sight of his mother's dissatisfied expression.

"That's what you say every time I miss you and come to see you. It's like you don't mean it. What an ungrateful son you are!"

Selma was still dissatisfied. Her son was a workaholic. To him, nothing was more important than the company.

Kevin shook his head in disbelief as he stared at his mother's childish expression. Since when did she become so grumpy?

"Kevin, please stay here and talk to auntie for a bit while I make you some coffee." Cherry understood the look in Selma's eyes, so she made up an excuse to exit the room.

As she stood behind the kitchen door, Cherry looked at Kevin apprehensively. It was as if she wanted to see through his real thoughts.

"Mom, what is it? Is there something you want to tell me?" He saw the look in his mother's eyes and figured that she wanted to talk about something.

"Kevin, to tell you the truth, I came here today to confirm the date of your wedding with Cherry,"

Selma stared into her son's handsome face anxiously.

"I'm in no mood to talk about the wedding right now. Let's talk about it later." He felt irritated when his mother pressed the subject of the wedding again.

He hadn't thought about the wedding these past few days. He actually thought that he didn't want to go on with the wedding anymore.

Selma was displeased at his sudden coldness. She remembered that Cherry had told her that Kevin was still thinking about Anne, and it made her a little angry.

"Kevin, you've already broken up with that vile woman, and Cherry has been with you for a long time now. Don't you think it's time for you to give her the status she deserves?

Selma said, a little dissatisfied with his son's indifferent attitude.

"I will take care of the wedding myself, mother. You don't need to worry about it. Just relax,"

Kevin said and frowned just at the thought of getting married.

You are my child, my son. How can I not be anxious about your marriage?"

Kevin's cold attitude was beyond what Selma expected it to be. At first, she thought Cherry was just exaggerating, but then it dawned on her that maybe Kevin could be acting like that because of that woman named Anne.

Kevin picked up the magazine he saw lying on the table and started reading it casually, pretending not to hear what Selma said.

"Kevin, are you even listening to me? I am serious!" Selma shouted and snatched the magazine from her son's hand and threw it on the table. There was a trace of anger in her tone.

"Didn't I just tell you that you don't need to worry about me?" Kevin said monotonously while looking so annoyed.

"Tell me the truth! Are you still thinking about Anne? Do you regret breaking up with her?" Selma yelled.

Thinking that her son's breakup with Anne might have had a huge effect on him made Selma more pissed off.

She was just a vicious woman. What did she even do that made Kevin so drawn to her?

Anne had been away from Kevin from such a long time, but that didn't keep Kevin from forgetting about her. That woman must have really been something.

Selma saw that Kevin's eyes narrowed when he heard Anne's name and that made her unhappy.

"From now on, you will stop mentioning that woman's name especially when you are talking to me. I want nothing to do with her anymore!"

Kevin snorted. He didn't know why he couldn't help but think about her every time he heard her name. He suddenly wanted to know how she was doing.

The feeling had been torturing him, making him petulant.

"Now that you have no connection with her anymore, you should just consider holding your wedding with Cherry as soon as possible. Your baby with her is still young and he needs a mother,"

Selma said while examining her son's face, waiting for his reaction. She wondered if he really meant what he said.

"No one will make my decisions for me! If you have nothing better to do here, then you can go back home and might as well rest. I still have some things to deal with in the company so I will leave you now," Kevin said without any emotions because he was starting to feel disconnected to everything.

He didn't want to talk with Selma about marriage any longer so he stood up and strode away after he said that.

"Kevin!!!"

cried Selma. She was enraged that Kevin just left without hesitation.

Her son had never talked back at her like this before. It really must have been because of that girl, Anne!

Cherry had been eavesdropping their conversation. Hearing Kevin's determined tone, she clenched her hand tightly while holding the cup of coffee she made. Her eyes were filled with coldness and fury.

It took a long time for her to contain her emotions.

After that, she came to Selma with the cup of coffee, feeling really let down by the things she just heard.

"Cherry…" Selma said in a soft and sad tone when she saw Cherry coming over.

"Auntie, I heard all the things that Kevin just said. I now have confirmed that he doesn't intend to marry me. I will not force him and make things difficult for you,"

Cherry said, pretending to sound reasonable, but the grievance that could be heard in her tone could not be denied.

Selma felt so disappointed in herself when she saw the misery on Cherry's face because she had just promised her that she would do whatever it took so that Cherry and Kevin would get married. But it seemed that her plans weren't even gonna work.

"Don't say that, Cherry. I promised you I will not allow you two not to get married, right? It's all my fault! Don't worry, I am gonna figure something out. It's not too late."

The more Cherry showed that she was fine with just leaving Kevin alone if that would make him happier, Selma wanted her more for her son since she thought that Cherry was a really nice and considerate person. She wanted someone like her to be her son's wife.

"But, auntie. Kevin has just made it clear that he doesn't want to marry me. I also don't wanna bother you anymore,"

Cherry said. A few moments later, tears from her beautiful eyes came streaming down her face. Selma couldn't help but feel sorry for her when she saw her crying.

"Kevin is my son, Cherry. He will listen to whatever I say. I want you to be my daughter-in-law and he must marry you. He has to!"

Selma said in a firm but reassuring tone. She became more determined to make Kevin and Cherry's marriage happen.

Cherry was doing such a good job at acting like she was feeling melancholic about all that Kevin just said and her eyes flashed with a hint of success when she heard Selma's words. However, she still had uncertainty in her heart because she knew that no one could force Kevin to do something against his will.

Meanwhile, Kevin drove his car while his mind was full, thinking about Anne.

"Damn it!" Kevin roared and slammed the steering wheel.

What was wrong with him? His mind was always full of thoughts about that woman. Damn it!

He had no idea if Anne had arrived safely in America or if Sam had been taking good care of her.

Deep in his heart, he hoped that Sam could, but just the thought of Sam and Anne together made him insecure. He was scared Anne had already fallen in love with Sam since they were always together.

The more he thought about it, the more it made him feel terrible. He drove the car almost at full speed. The wind blew in his ears and his dashing eyebrows deeply furrowed.

In America,

gazing at the new and strange environment made Anne feel like everything was surreal. She was in America, but she wondered where her child was.

"Sam, America is so wide. How are we supposed to find my child? Where will we even start looking?!"

Staring in awe at the vast sea of people, Anne got really confused. It would be extremely difficult to find her child in such a huge country.

"Don't worry. I believe you will find your child." Sam walked behind her and gave her a pat on the shoulder to try and give her some comfort.

"Yes, I will do everything just to find my baby." It didn't matter to her how hard it was. She would never give up looking for her child.

"We shall find a place to live in first. I'll buy us a house. A couple of days will not be enough for us to look for your baby so we will be needing a place to stay in,"

Sam said. When he saw that Anne was beginning to look a little calmer, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried she would do something radical again like she did before.

"Ah! You're right, but I don't have much money with me right now," Anne answered awkwardly, lowering her head.

"I will handle it. You don't have to worry about it,"

Sam replied. He chuckled a little, seeing that Anne's face turned a little red. Did Anne really think that a gentleman like him would let her pay for the house?

"Thank you, Sam. It really means a lot to me." At that moment, apart from thanking him, Anne didn't really know how she would be able to express her gratitude to him.
