"So, is this your explanation?" And just like that, all the depression in Anne's heart slowly dissipated.
"If I had known that I would like you so much now, I would have treated you better and let myself suffer
less." With that, Kevin made a gentle peck on Anne's soft lips.
"You should go back to deal with the matter concerning Rose first before talking about being with me."
Anne felt relieved, but she was unwilling to admit to Kevin that she still had feelings for him.
"Okay, that's for certain. Knowing that you have forgiven me, I won't have the need for anything except
your love for me." Kevin was in a very good mood, unable to wipe off the smile from his lips.
"I don't love you." Anne retorted stubbornly, rolling her eyes.
Ignoring what she just said, Kevin turned on his phone. Her confession of love for him was still saved in
there somewhere.
In an instant, all of Anne's thoughts were exposed, which made her face flush with embarrassment. It
was useless to pretend to be indifferent in front of Kevin at any time. He knew what to do and say at
any time. She hated Corbin for it.
"I know you love me and you can never deny it. Let me take you to have a shower and we can talk
about that later." With that, Kevin picked Anne up and carried her to the bathroom in a very good mood.
He deliberately changed the subject to cover up the fact that he had set up a trap to make Anne fall in
love with him. If it was really a matter of urgency and he couldn't escape since she wanted him
desperately under the effect of the drug, how could he have had the time to record it?
In the Luo Family's residence.
Rose walked across the overly spacious central living room and went straight to her bedroom.
With a darkened face, Valentina trailed behind her all the way to her door.
"Rose, you have had a miscarriage. Why hasn't Kevin come to see you?" This time, Valentina was
visibly upset.
At the thought of Anne, she became even more furious. She thought that Anne had come to take her
revenge and to make everyone suffer.
However, this time, she found that Rose was not as angry as before. Instead, a mysterious smile hung
smugly on her face. She asked, "Rose, what's wrong with you? Tell me what happened. You know that
I will help you!"
Failing to get anything out of Rose, Valentina sighed in resignation.
"I'm fine, Mom. I just don't think we are suitable for each other. Why can't we be honest and just call off
the engagement?" Rose admitted.
Hearing what Rose just said, Valentina was surprised, then saddened.
"Huh? What did you just say?" She wasn't ready for what she just heard. But, it seemed that Rose was
not joking at all, and felt that Rose must have suffered too much and could no longer endure it.
"You seem tired. Have a good rest for now. That man has a lot of explaining to do in the morning,"
Valentina said decisively.
In the past, she thought that Kevin's family was very wealthy. So even if he didn't treat Rose well, she
was wary of the power that Kevin had. But she didn't expect that her dear daughter would suffer so
much with him. This time, even if it meant going against a solid wall like Kevin, she would not be afraid.
After all, she had only one daughter who meant the world to her.
"Mom, you don't have to do that. I'm really fine." Rose slightly raised her voice at her mother.
Valentina patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, fine, I won't go. I just hate seeing you sad like
that."
"I'm not sad, Mom. I've really thought it through and I don't want to be with Kevin any more. I did think
that he deserved me. Being the president of the AN Group, he was the perfect man for me."
Hearing what Rose said, Valentina nodded with satisfaction. She was glad that her daughter's
confidence had not been lost.
However, what Rose said next was beyond her expectations. "But now I don't think it's a good idea to
be together with him just because he's every lady's dream man. We can't be with each if there is no
love between us at all."
"Well, that's the stupidest thing that I've ever heard!" Valentina frowned and retorted after hearing what
Rose just said.
"Mom, I'm not stupid. I know what kind of person is best for me! If I can't be happy with Kevin in the
future, it's better to go our separate ways now than to live with him miserably for the rest of my life!"
Hearing this, Valentina disagreed with her even more. She knew that her daughter had suffered a huge
blow all because of Anne.
"Forget it. You're just tired and talking nonsense! Have a good rest and we'll talk about it in a few days."
Valentina had a tough attitude. She wanted Rose to marry Kevin not only because he was rich and
powerful. More importantly, she didn't want to see Anne take Kevin away from her daughter, which
would be a big slap to her face.
Why must her daughter lose to Kiana's daughter?
She was not reconciled to Rose's decision, but when she saw the expression on her daughter's face,
she had to hold back the words in her heart.
At the Greenlight Forest.
By the time Mark arrived, Rose was already there.
At this time, Rose was dressed up and looked very sweet and adorable. She stood by the door and
looked out from time to time. The edges of her dress brushed lightly against the big vine leaves,
making them sway gently.
As soon as she saw Mark, she smiled.
"Hello, Miss Rose, what can I do for you?" greeted Mark.
"I came to thank you for taking care of me that day. Come on, have a cup of coffee with me."
The two sat down by the window. Mark was wearing a white shirt and a black suit. Compared with the
perfectly stern and arrogant Kevin, Mark was elegant and fresh.
"You don't have to thank me at all. It was my duty to solve the problem at the restaurant at that time,"
Mark replied.
"Do you think I came here just to thank you?" A playful smile appeared on the corner of Rose's pink
lips.
"I see. Is there anything else?" Mark was genuinely curious.
"You probably know that I went to the hospital last time, right?" Rose asked.
She thought that Mark must know about her miscarriage, so she had to explain and clarify it.
"No, I didn't know. What happened? What's wrong with you?" Mark asked carelessly.
Rose smiled and continued, "Haven't you heard that I'm pregnant?"
Mark was stunned. He seemed to know it but was not sure. He recoiled and said, "I heard that you
were pregnant when I went to the hospital with Anne. But then I didn't know anything more about it."
"Well, I'm not pregnant. And that's a good thing, because I have decided to leave Kevin," said Rose,
her face turning gloomy and depressed.
Hearing this, Mark suddenly felt very happy inside, but he suddenly felt guilty about it, knowing that it
was wrong. He shouldn't make Rose sad just because he wanted to protect Anne. After all, there was
no real right or wrong in this matter. The best outcome would be if everyone was happy.
"Okay, I see." Mark put down his coffee and didn't know what else to say.
Noticing the absent-minded look on his face, Rose wanted to tell him that she hadn't had sex with
Kevin. After all, Kevin didn't really like her at that time, so she didn't want to sacrifice too much. But
looking at the expression on Mark's face, she didn't say anything. It wasn't the right time to talk about it.
Looking at Mark's handsome face, she felt a little nervous. She was afraid that he would think she was
a scheming person if he found out about it.
"Anyway, it's good that you have thought it through," Mark said, carefully choosing his words. He was
not good at comforting girls.
However, his awkward expression made Rose burst into laughter.
"Well, do you think I will find someone I like that soon?" Rose lowered her head and stirred her coffee,
afraid that Mark would see through her real feelings.
"Of course you will. You are the daughter of the Luo Family. You are beautiful, elegant and capable of
taking care of yourself well. Why are you worried that you won't find someone you like?" asked Mark.
"Are you serious?" Rose suddenly realized that she cared much about what Mark thought of her.
"Do you think I'm irritating and bothersome after hearing what I've done before? I knew that he didn't
like me but I still pursued him!" Remembering what she had done, Rose suddenly regretted it all.
Mark said nothing for a while, carefully giving it some thought. Then he raised his head and said, "It's
not wrong to fall in love with someone, and it's not wrong to chase after him. If you find that Kevin
doesn't like you, you will be happier and better off without him. Don't doubt your own choices. At one
time or another, everyone is bound to like someone who is not suitable for them. As long as you can be
happy in the end, everything will turn out fine."
As she listened to him talk like that, the melancholy on Mark's face made Rose's heart ache. She had
no idea whom Mark had madly fallen in love with.
Thinking that it wasn't her, Rose was disappointed and sad.
To dispel this feeling, she suggested, "How about we talk about something else?"
In the East Mountain Villa.
The door was open, and the servants were standing at the door, smiling brightly. Even the shrubs used
as decorations in front of the door seemed to shine and shimmer.
Kevin carried Anne as they made their way back into the villa.
She wanted to get down, but Kevin didn't allow her. Instead, he said with a snicker, "You can try and
get down, if you can."
Rolling her eyes at him, Anne knew what he meant. He body now felt sore all over. She wondered if
Kevin did it on purpose to embarrass her in front of everyone in the villa.
Kevin however, didn't feel that he did anything wrong. He hadn't been intimate with Anne in a long time,
so he couldn't control himself and somehow hurt her. He knew that was too hard on her and he
promised himself that he'd be more gentle next time. After all, every moment that he wasn't with her felt
like hell.
"Make some tonic soup. The more, the better," Kevin said to the servant after he carefully laid Anne
down on the sofa.
Hearing Kevin's words, Anne was speechless. It was too much!
However, when the servant was about to leave, Kevin called out, "Make something that is good for
women to eat after sex!"
Hearing this, Anne's cheeks were flushed. Why did Kevin have to say that out loud?
His words sounded like she was exhausted after some wild sex, but it was him who kept moving
violently. It was really too much so she was completely tired, but he was in such good spirits.
It was unfair that a man's physical structure was different from a woman's.
Frowning, Anne shot dagger looks at Kevin. She was just in a daze, but Kevin teased deliberately, "If
you want to see it again, I will show it to you tonight, but don't torture me again. We both need to have
a good rest!"
He made it sound like Anne was hungry for more sex, and this made her very angry.
"What are you talking about? Who wants to see that thing? What's so good about it?" Anne rolled her
eyes.
She thought she was cold. But now, she realized that if Kevin really wanted to, he could easily piss her
off.
"Don't be disappointed. I'm just worried about your health. But if you insist, I can satisfy you." The look
on Kevin's face was completely ambiguous.
