Renewal Of Love

Frustration was evident on his face as it darkened. He rubbed the back of his neck to release some tension and slowly said, "Stop thinking about other people and start worrying more about your well -being." He looked at her pointedly. "Look at your state right now. You're weak and you still haven't eaten yet." Crossing his arms together, Kevin's eyes dropped at the IV needle piercing through the back of her hand then back at her. "Are you going to depend on that IV drip for the whole period of your pregnancy?"

He was more talkative than usual which caught Anne off guard as she stared at the very vexed Kevin.

She would have argued back if he was being a jerk but the way he was acting right then and the way he worried about her, although his expression was cold, was new and was kind of pleasant so she let it slide.

‘But why is he acting like he cares?’ she pondered but just dismissed the thought after finding it ridiculous.

She puffed out her cheeks and let out a breath before shifting her gaze away from his with a frown on her face, mumbling, "I'll try my best to eat. Anne knew that she couldn't keep on relying on the nutrition she was getting from the IV drip throughout the duration of her pregnancy. 'Eating something delicious right now sounds appetizing,' she thought as she tried to pull the IV needle out.

Since she couldn’t always rely on it, she should stop using it.

Kevin was shocked, his eyes widening in alarm. 'Is this woman crazy?' he thought before hissing angrily. "What are you doing?"

Kevin immediately grabbed her hand, stopping her from taking the needle out. After seeing her give him a weird look, Kevin awkwardly let go of her hand. Clearing his throat he said, "Let it stay for a while because you’re still weak. That’s the only thing that’s giving you nutrition right now. I’ll be here until you get better."

"But I want to eat," she grumbled, sulking.

For the first time in so many days, she felt famished. She knew that once she got out of bed and had a full meal, she would definitely devour everything. Just imagining the hot dish and its delicious aroma made her salivate.

"Are you hungry?" Kevin asked. She just nodded absentmindedly which made him raise a brow at how strange she was acting. Frowning, he let out a tired sigh before looking at her. "I’ll ask Sam to prepare something for you to eat."

After saying that, Kevin stood up and walked towards the door. Before he left the room, he looked back at her with a stern look in his eyes but his voice was gentle. "I'll go downstairs first then I'll come back fast so stay put." Anne was left gaping at the empty spot where Kevin stood before vanishing behind the door.

Anne wondered if she was dreaming as she tried pinching her cheeks. ‘Ouch!’ she groaned as she rubbed the sore spot. She felt the stinging sensation on it proving that what just occurred indeed really happened. ‘Did he eat something weird today?’ she thought suspiciously. 'What's with the sudden drastic change in his personality?' she pondered on, frowning. 'When did he start caring about me?'

Anne felt conflicted. She didn't know what to feel with the way Kevin was acting due to the fact that she wasn't used to it. 'Everything feels so unreal,' she thought as she shifted her gaze to the window with a sad smile on her lips. "If only it was real…" she whispered. She let out a dry laugh, thinking how pathetic she sounded. She knew that Kevin didn't belong to her. 'He has already given his heart to Cherry,' she thought dejectedly, closing her eyes to suppress her tears.

No one was in sight when Kevin went downstairs which puzzled him. 'Where the hell is Sam when I need him?' he thought, frustrated. He started walking aimlessly through the hallway until he saw a group of servants having a meeting at the courtyard.

The villa that they were currently at belonged to his family but it rarely received any visitors. Kevin bought the villa because of how quiet the area is.

Although he seldom came to live there, the place had everything that needed to ensure a comfortable life.

And the servants were dutiful to keep everything in order though Kevin had never asked about the villa.

He smiled at how peaceful the place was. Also, he was very satisfied with the butler. At least he managed the East Mountain Villa well even in his absence.

Kevin looked around the whole place but he didn’t see a single sign of Sam anywhere.

"Sam?" he shouted, frustration present on his voice.

He called out for his name a few times but to no avail. A servant who was at the courtyard ran over at his direction when she heard him. Her face flushed at the sight of Kevin.
