Kerry’ s brow furrowed. He asked in an annoyed tone of voice: “When did I say you are the woman I
hate the most? If I indeed said it, I take it back. Is that okay?”
Venus was displeased by his arrogance. She looked at him with contempt. Then she shook her head
and said in a mocking tone: “You can not take what you said back, just like the water poured away is
forever poured away. If I slap you and ask you to forgive you in an instant, will you forgive me?”
Kerry had no idea what he did to her. He stripped her of her pride and dignity, and he made her life
utterly miserable. How could he expect Venus to forget all the humiliations she was subjected to
because of him simply by making an apology?
Kerry froze for an instant. He never thought Venus hated him so much. He asked: “Then what do you
want?”
“I want nothing!” Venus’ eyes were moist. She turned around and looked outside the window. She said
in a hoarse voice: “The past is behind us, and I don’t want to talk about it anymore. But I really don’t
want you in my life anymore. If you really feel sorry, please keep your distance.”
“That’s impossible!” Kerry looked at Venus’s face. When he noticed there were tears brimming in her
eyes, he felt very shocked. He stood up and held her in his arm. He then cupped her chin with his
hand, lifted up her face and said in a grim voice: “You should know you can never get rid of me the day
you married to me.”
Venus was so angry. She didn’t know how to get rid of him, and she didn’t know what Kerry was
insisting for, and why was he trying to please her all of a sudden. She would never believe Kerry would
someday change his character and treat her so nicely when he obviously hates her so much.
“Why can’t you just leave me alone! I am really exhausted!! I spend every single minute thinking about
how to leave this place! This is just a nightmare for me!!”
Venus’s breakdown shocked Kerry to the core. He felt a sharp pain in his chest as if someone stabbed
his heart with a knife. He felt a giant hole appeared in his heart and he didn’t know how to fill it.
At that time, someone knocked the door. Kerry turned around and said in a grim voice: “Come in.”
The door was opened. Secretary Liu walked in and asked respectfully: “Director Ye, the lunch you
ordered is here. Do you want them now?”
Kerry looked at her and said coldly: “Fine.”
“Yes, sir.”
Secretary Liu then opened the door, and then a waitress pushed a trolley in. And she put all the dishes
carefully on the table.
Then they all left. So there were only Venus and Kerry in the room. Venus looked at the dishes and was
a little bit surprised, because all the dishes were her favorite. She didn’t know whether Kerry ordered
them on purpose or not.
Kerry dragged her to a sofa and explained: “I asked your uncle what are your favorite dishes, and he
told me.”
Venus was surprised. She couldn’t believe Kerry specially inquired about her favorite dishes. She
remembered when they first got married, she wanted to take Kerry back to her home, but he declined
without hesitation. He would never go to her home had it not been for the fact that he wanted to learn
something about her brother.
So she was slightly touched when he asked her family about this kind of thing. But it was Kerry. And
she couldn’t believe he did that with a noble intention.
Venus picked some food, and asked in a cold voice: “So, why did you do this? Do you want to know my
brother’s whereabouts? Then you will be disappointed, cause I don’t......”
“Even the food can’ t make you shut up, can it?” Kerry was displeased by Venus’s misinterpretation of
his kind act.
Venus stopped talking. She looked down and ate her food.
Kerry had no appetite at all, after what happened. Besides, Venus loved food with strong taste, and
Kerry didn’t like it. He looked at her when she ate the food.
Venus could feel Kerry’ s long and hard stare on her. She put the chopsticks down, and she wanted to
find an excuse and leave.
But Kerry said first: “Are you full?”
Venus nodded and said: “Thank you for this.”
Kerry then wore a smile that could mean anything, and said: “How do you want to thank me?”
“What?”
