Renewal Of Love

Chapter 86 A Little Off

Cherry frowned when she sensed that Kevin was a little off."Kevin, what's wrong? You look a little

unhappy today." She clung on her lover's arm and almost leaned her whole body against him."Nothing.

I was just thinking about work," he answered indifferently after he threw a glance at the woman."You

promised me you would stay with me the whole day. Can you stop thinking about your work?"Cherry

asked like a spoiled kid after she heard his explanation. A faint smile spread across her lips while she

held onto him.She might have seemed happy but that didn't mean she couldn't feel that Kevin was

being perfunctory towards her.He didn't even look at her today as if he had forgotten that she existed.

She could feel him getting colder and further away from her."Kevin, do you think this one looks good on

me?"She tried to draw back his attention. She picked up a diamond necklace and put it on her

collarbone and stared at her lover expectantly."My Cherry looks good in whatever she wears."He was

not in the mood to choose a necklace for her at all. He only said those words this morning because he

wanted to know whether Anne loved him or not.The little woman seemed to be angry at him this

morning. That could be an indication that she cared for him.His voice sounded like he was pampering

her yet Cherry couldn't feel any of his emotion.Kevin looked around the shop and his gaze fell at a

piece of jewelry that caught his attention. It was a simple necklace with a leaf pendant.He picked up the

accessory and gave out a satisfied smile as he imagined how the necklace would suit the little

woman.His lover noticed him staring at a necklace so she came over curiously. She felt giddy at the

thought of Kevin being so focused on selecting a necklace for her.When she saw the accessory in his

hand and found out that it had no grand style, she frowned. She was not satisfied with his choice."I

don't think that would suit me, Kevin. That's too simple-looking."She preferred to have a piece of high-

end and elegant jewelry on her. She would never pay attention to such a simple style."It might not suit

you, but it will to someone."Although the style was ordinary, it would look good on Anne's neck. She

had a cold personality that made people feel like she was a pretty girl of humble birth. With this simple

but not rustic style, she would definitely look good.Kevin's words made Cherry realize that the necklace Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

was not for her. Anger immediately burned in her heart. He didn't need to tell her anything, as she

could almost guess for whom the necklace was.Hatred and anger intertwined at the pit of her stomach.

It only made her hate for Anne grow stronger."How about this one? Do you think it's beautiful?" Cherry

held a dazzling diamond necklace crafted with complicated workmanship and handed it to him. She

was expectant once again.She just wanted to draw his attention back to her. Maybe if he could notice

her, he would soon forget about Anne.He glanced at the necklace in his hand and creased his forehead

lightly. If that happened in the past, he would have praised her endlessly. But for some reason, he felt

that she was somewhat vulgar.The jewelry seemed to have no special feature except for being big and

sparkly."As long as you like it,"he answered. Even though he didn't like the necklace in her hand, he

didn't have the heart to say it out loud. After all, he had always thought that he liked Cherry in his

heart.The woman plastered a big smile on her face and tip-toed to give her man a chaste kiss on his

cheek.He turned his head towards her and gave a faint smile, a smile that failed to reach his

eyes.Cherry looked at the diamond necklace in her hand and felt a little proud. A piece of jewelry

bought by Kevin could be worth tens of millions. When she got to be his wife, she could get whatever

she wanted in the world.She bought a lot of luxury goods in just a half-day of their shopping spree.

Every time he swiped his card, Kevin didn't even blink no matter how much he had to pay."Are you

done with your shopping?"He looked at his wristwatch and found out that it was already two o'clock in

the afternoon. He became impatient after he realized that Anne had been alone in the Villa for hours."I

have bought so many things, Kevin. Do you think that I…"Cherry trailed on her words when she saw

the impatience in his eyes. She thought that she had bought too much. She got anxious at the thought

that he might consider her as a materialistic woman.She was worried that her image that she built so

hard in his heart would crumble just because of this."If you like, I could even buy the whole city for

you."He knew that his emotions were too visible in her eyes and this might have got Cherry to overthink

some things.Slowly, remorse clawed in his heart. It felt like he changed into another person. He even

cared about that vicious woman."Kevin, do you think I'm a high-maintenance woman?"she asked. His

words made her inexplicably excited. No woman would not be tempted if the man said things like

that."My Cherry is the most perfect person in my heart. Why would I perceive you as a materialistic

woman? Today the shopping only costs a few million. Do you think I am the type of man who would be

stingy in money when it comes to his woman?"Kevin didn't even think about the money he spent on

her. It wasn't that much of a big deal."That's not what I mean. I just don't want you to think that I'm a

demanding woman."His words made her panic. She quickly reached out and held his arm then rested

her head on his shoulder."I can buy anything I want for my woman. Only those incapable will think that

their women are demanding."He didn't know anything about being materialistic, just like how he didn't

know anything about money."It's getting late. We should go back,"he said coldly and went to his car. He

wasn't in the mood to continue to hang out with her.With one last glance at the luxury goods in her

assistant's hands, Cherry smiled and joined the man in his car.When they returned to the villa, her gaze

fell on the woman who was having her meal past the mealtime.Anne's eyes darkened when she saw

the two of them walk hand in hand. The reason why she ate after lunchtime was because she wanted

to avoid an encounter with them. This coincidence just ruined her day.When Kevin's eyes fell at the

simple meal she had, his eyes turned cold."Who prepared the lunch?"His voice was laced with irritation

and the people in his presence were left to wonder what made him upset.A dead silence fell upon

them. Even Cherry couldn't comprehend the change in his mood."Didn't you hear me?" he asked again

after he got impatient for the lack of response.When everyone came back to their senses, one of the

maids came forward. She stood in front of him as her body trembled in fear."I was the one who

prepared the lunch today, Mr. Kevin," the maid answered cautiously, scared that he might vent his

anger on her.Anne frowned upon the confusion caused by Kevin. 'What's wrong with him? He got angry

as soon as he came back. Was it because Cherry didn't take good care of him when they went out?'

she wondered."Why were you the one that prepared the food? Where is the chef?"Kevin burned in

anger after he saw how simple the pregnant woman's food was. Even the servants in the villa didn't eat

that kind of food."The chef is not feeling well today. Since Mr. Kevin and Miss Cherry went out today,

I…"The maid got scared to proceed with her words when she felt the fuming presence of Kevin."So you

prepared some food for Anne that even servants like you wouldn't eat?"His slender fingers pointed at

her food as his anger continued to rise."I'm sorry Mr. Kevin. I'm going to prepare something else this

instant." The maid was about to walk away but stopped on her way."From now on, you are no longer a

servant of our Fu Family. As for the chef, get out of the villa together! We will never hire people like you

again!"Thinking that whenever he wasn't in the villa, the servants treated Anne this way, he became

more furious.'Isn't this woman very scheming? Did she really have to endure this kind of treatment?' he

thought."Mr. Kevin, I know I was wrong. Please don't fire me…" The maid knelt and begged for

mercy.Her desperation to keep her job was because serving the Fu Family was a good choice. The

salary alone was several times higher than an ordinary white-collared job.Kevin ignored the servant's

plea. His cold eyes had fixed on the pathetic-looking food in front of Anne ever since he arrived.Cherry

got upset after she saw how worked up Kevin was for her cousin's sake. She threw a ferocious look

towards her and quickly walked towards Kevin."Kevin, don't be like this. I don't think the maid did it on

purpose. Don't you think your punishment is too grave?"she cooed him. Her gentle voice contracted the

look in her eyes which were full of malice as they stared at Anne.
