Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 120

"You don't have to be so formal with me. We are friends." Anne's appreciation had always made Sam feel distant, which disappointed him.

Feeling embarrassed, Anne lowered her head. She did not dare to look into his gentle eyes. She could feel his love for her, but she felt awful for being unable to give him what he wanted in return. She could only treat him as a friend.

"Let's go to the hotel first." Sam strode forward and lightly dragged the suitcase for Anne.

He knew that she only viewed him as a friend, but he wanted to protect her.

"By the way, Emily seems to be in America, right?" Anne suddenly mentioned Emily's name as she followed behind Sam.

Sam stiffened his back after hearing it. He felt strange, but it suddenly disappeared.

"Yes. We are in America, maybe we could see her again."

It had been several months since Emily came to America, but she hadn't even called him. He wondered if she was still mad at him for standing her up.

"Sam, have you ever thought about how would you face Emily when you meet her again?"

Anne knew that Emily was deeply in love with him. She had a feeling that Sam had saved a place for Emily in his heart. Maybe he had not figured it out at the moment.

"Emily and I grew up together. We are very good friends." Sam was worried that Anne might misinterpret him, so he quickly explained his relationship with her.

"Are you surely just friends? Sam, can't you feel her love for you?"

Anne shook her head helplessly. She felt sorry for Emily. The man she loved had not recognized his feelings for her yet.

"Anne, you think too much. Emily and I are just friends." Although Sam tried to defend it, his heart was stirred up by what she had said.

"I just hope that you seize your happiness and not waste your time on the wrong person."

When she said 'the wrong person' she was referring to herself. She had seen Sam's kindness to her, and she wanted to repay him. She would give anything except love.

Her heart already died, and she would never fall in love with someone again. If she went along with Sam, it would be unfair to him.

"Only I know whether it's worth it or not. Well, let's just stop talking about it."

Sam knew that Anne was rejecting him euphemistically, but he was determined. He would stick to his decision.

He believed that Anne would fall in love with him after some time.

She shook her head once more. Knowing that Sam would not listen to her, she decided to talk about it later.

They found themselves a decent house and Sam bought it with a large sum of money. Although the house was not that big, the environment was really great.

"Let's stay here for the meantime. Don't worry about the baby. I will send someone to investigate it,"

Sam said in fear that Anne would look for her child alone in an unfamiliar place.

"Okay."

Even though Anne had not gotten any news about her child, she did not lose hope. She believed that she would find her child someday.

Meanwhile, in an office of the Fu Group, Kevin looked particularly bothered.

There was still no news regarding Anne after several days, and he had been dreaming of her lately.

The assistant standing beside was concerned, so he walked up to him and asked, "Mr. Kevin, are you feeling unwell?"

"No!" Kevin frowned in annoyance.

The assistant did not dare to say anything more when he saw the unfriendly look on Kevin's face.

"Come here. I have a question for you." Kevin waved his hand and ordered his assistant to come closer.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Kevin?"

The assistant looked at Kevin nervously, wondering if he had done something wrong. He feared that Kevin was going to fire him.

"I kept thinking about a woman every day. I want to know how she is and what she is doing right now. I even dream of her at night. Tell me, what is going on with me?"

Kevin was irritated just by speaking what he felt. He was also mad at himself being like this.

The assistant was so shocked that his chin almost fell to the ground. He glanced at him with bewilderment.

Did he hear it right? Did these words really come from his boss?

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you answer my question?" Kevin grew tired of waiting for his answer, so he scowled at him.

"Mr. Kevin, you must have fallen in love with the woman you are referring to,"

the assistant answered respectfully as soon as he came to his senses.

His boss had always been immune to women. He thought that they were expendable. What changed his mind? Who was the woman his boss fell in love with?

"Are you saying I am in love with that woman?" squinting his long and narrow eyes, Kevin said in a cold and confused tone.

The thought of him falling in love with a woman was ridiculous.

"Kevin, I can assure you!" the assistant firmly said.

It explained why his boss had been moody recently. He was not in the mood to work because he kept musing over a woman. He finally liked someone, and it was a miracle.

Seeing the assertive look of his assistant, Kevin knitted his brows in puzzlement. Was he truly in love with that woman?

"Mr. Kevin, may I ask to whom did you fell in love with? Was it Miss Cherry?"

the assistant asked out of curiosity. It was the first time his boss had a crush on a woman.

"Fuck off!" Kevin turned around and spat.

A mere assistant had no right to gossip about his affairs.

"Yes, Mr. Kevin. I'm leaving now."

Becoming aware of Kevin's anger, the assistant quickly walked out of the office.

He knew his boss's temper very well. If his boss got irritated, he would lose his job.

Kevin was left alone in his huge office. He kept on thinking about what his assistant had said to him. He could not help wondering if he was in love with Anne.

Later in the evening, when he returned to the villa, he saw Cherry was waiting for him at the dining table. It was odd to see Anne's seat vacant. For some reason, he felt disappointed.

"Kevin, you're finally back. Did you work overtime at the company today?" Cherry asked with a tender smile on her face.

"Well, there are a lot of things to deal with at the company lately."

In truth, the reason why Kevin went home late every day was that he did not want to face Cherry. It made him upset whenever she brought up the subject of their marriage, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Let's eat first. The food is getting cold."

Unaware of Kevin's indifference, Cherry took his coat and handed it to the servant. Then, she held his arm and walked to the table.

"I prepared all these dishes for you tonight. Have a taste. You look skinnier these days."

Cherry thoughtfully picked up the food for him while retaining the smile on her face.

"Thank you," Kevin said coldly, without looking at her.

"Kevin, we haven't spent much time together recently. I want you to sleep with me tonight, okay?" Cherry waited for the proper time and said with a trace of grievance in her beautiful eyes.

Anne had left a long time ago, but Kevin hadn't touched her. She was full of resentment and discontent.

"I have work to deal with tonight. Perhaps I will sleep in the study. You can go to bed after dinner."

Kevin continued eating his dinner in silence.

Clenching the hemline of her dress, Cherry suppressed the frustration and bitterness in her heart. She tried her best to keep a smile on her face.

"You should prioritize your health over your work," Cherry calmly said after being rejected by Kevin.

"Let's eat first." Kevin frowned in exasperation.

Knowing he was angry, Cherry didn't dare to provoke him, though she was also enraged as she failed to achieve her goal.

He treated her cold enough, and she did not want him to make him more disgusted with her.

She felt a little anxious as she lowered her head and had dinner quietly. If things went on like this, she would lose him sooner or later.

"Kevin, do you miss Anne?"

she asked with caution. She carefully observed the expression on Kevin's face, fearing that he would be furious about the question.

She just wanted to annoy him with Anne's name, but the result seemed to be the opposite.

"What if I say yes?"

Kevin put down his chopstick and fixed his deep and charming eyes unto Cherry. His tone was different but exceptionally serious.

There was no trace of humor. The look on Cherry's face froze, and then she forced an unnatural smile.

"I was just kidding. Why did you take it seriously? I know I'm the only one in your heart. Kevin, I promise I won't make such kind of joke again."

Noticing the seriousness in his eyes, Cherry panicked.

"I'm not joking with you. You know me well. I never joke."

His words were like knives, stabbing Cherry's heart word per word, making her tremble in horror.
