Chapter 383 An Exciting Call
Anne said to Cherry slowly, "I'm the hostess of the Fu Family now. If I didn't mean what I said, I wouldn't have come to see you. Cherry, this is a chance for you and me. You'd better think it over. Contact me when you have made up your mind." She put her business card down and turned around to leave.
Cherry watched her go with a frown on her face, her grip tightening on the card in her hand.
She was reminded of Kevin, how mature and charming he was when they met last time. It was what made Cherry feel crazy about him.
If she had never had Kevin, she wouldn't dare to be greedy. However, she was once with him before. Even the thought of letting him go now was painful.
She used to be Kevin's wife, and Kevin should belong to her. What Anne had just said was right! They should go back to their old lives!
She would become Kevin's wife and the hostess of the Fu Family again!
Cherry lowered her head and looked at Anne's business card. She was so confused! She needed to consider everything carefully.
As Anne stepped outside, she spotted the bodyguards following her. She frowned, knowing she could only go back to the Fu Family's house.
Selma was playing with the children when Anne came back. She quietly questioned one of the bodyguards, "What did she do?"
The bodyguard looked embarrassed as he said, "Mrs. Anne entered a club. We couldn't get in."
Apparently, they had no idea what Anne had done in the club, or whom she had met there.
Selma's face changed as she waved the bodyguard away. Looking at Anne, her forehead creased with worry.
When Anne returned to her room, the strange yet familiar environment felt overwhelming. She looked down at her cell phone, frowning. She hadn't changed her number ever since she had come back, then why wasn't Kim calling her?
'Kim, where are you? Do you know how much I miss you?'
As she thought of that cold and mysterious man, a pleased smile appeared on her face.
'Don't worry. It doesn't matter how determined Kevin is, I will find a way to divorce him. Then, we can be together forever.'
With her phone still in her hand, Anne gradually fell into a deep sleep. In her dreams, she had changed into another person, one who loved Kevin and her children. She even endured Selma just for the sake of her family.
All of a sudden, the loud ringing from her phone woke her up. She rubbed her eyes, not recognizing the strange number. Could it be Kim?
"Hello..." Anne greeted hesitantly.
"Anne, I've made up my mind!" Cherry's shrill voice came through the other end. "You were absolutely right! We need to return to the way we were before. I believe you this time, but I'm also warning you. If this is some trick, I will make you regret it. So help me god!"
A satisfied smile grew on Anne's lips. She quickly replied, "Don't worry. I will arrange everything. In no time, you will become the hostess of the Fu Family once more!"
Cherry snorted and hung up the phone. As the phone turned off, the darkness hid the expressions on her face.
If it weren't for Anne, how could she have gone to prison? It was all because Anne that she had led a miserable life!
She had learned from her past. This time, she didn't believe in Anne's words. She planned to use Anne to get Kevin back!
It didn't bother her how heartless she was. As long as it meant she could get Kevin and become his wife once more, everything felt justified then. She could finally be at peace.
She believed that there never had been any everlasting friend or enemy in one's life. Her eyes were on Anne this time. She would not be fooled by her again!
On the other side, Anne sat staring outside her window after the call. When she walked out of her room, a small smile played on her face.
Ever since she had come back, she wanted to divorce Kevin. Naturally, the two of them had decided to sleep in separate bedrooms from then onwards.
Kevin decided to live in the guest room. To avoid her, he didn't even return to the Fu Family's house.
'Kevin, you can run but you can never hide. You have to face the problem at one point. How long can you avoid it?'
Anne mulled over the situation. Frowning slightly, she dialed Kevin's number. After a long time, a hoarse voice came through. "Anne? What's wrong?"
Anne replied in a brittle voice, "I just had a dream. I saw our beautiful memories of the past. I was wondering why I hated you so much after I came back. What happened to us?"
Taking a small pause, Kevin said, "Anne, you were controlled by the medicine. Think about it. Rose was like this at that time, right? Don't you know yourself? Anne, you fell in love with someone. How can you suddenly not love him anymore? How can you feel alienated from your children? Have you thought about this?"
As she heard these heartfelt questions, her expressions changed. Of course, she had thought about what Kevin had said. However, it didn't change anything. She just did not love him anymore.
The realization hadn't come as a surprise to her, Kevin had hurt her so many times. Wasn't it reasonable that she felt moved by Kim and no longer loved Kevin?
"Anne. Sam told me that the effect of the medicine will wear off in a year. You can return to normal! Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side to protect you," Kevin promised in a sincere tone.
Some soft part in Anne's heart was touched. She hung up the phone without a reply.
What was this strange feeling? Hearing Kevin's voice made her feel warm inside. It made her very uncomfortable, feeling like something was about to explode in her chest.
Anne gripped her thighs, shutting her eyes tightly as she waited for the feeling to pass. Strange thoughts flashed through her mind. She couldn't explain what was happening.
'Do I still have feelings for Kevin? Is that the reason I feel this way?
No, No! I hate Kevin! He is still trying to discredit Kim!
I have never even heard of this kind of medicine! Does Kevin take me for a fool?'
Her train of thoughts was disturbed by her loud ringtone. She looked down to see Kevin's name flash across her screen. Taking a moment to breathe deeply, she forced herself to calm down and answered
the call,
"Kevin, where are you staying?" Anne asked.
Without skipping a beat, Kevin immediately replied, "Your house."
Anne was reminded of her residence. They had lived there for a long period. And Selma had kidnapped her and humiliated her.
'It seems out of character for me to have forgiven Selma,' Anne pondered.
Even after thinking it over, she couldn't find a reason except for her stupidity. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Maybe you're right, I have changed. However, we still have beautiful memories of that house. I will come to see you tomorrow, okay? We only have each other and I want to get my feelings back for you. Our children shouldn't suffer for our mistakes. They deserve to have both of their parents together!" Anne said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Kevin was taken aback. He couldn't believe it! After finally managing to find his voice, he said in a surprised voice, "That's great, Anne! I love you so much!"
After she hung up the call, the smile on her face didn't leave for a while. She was going to see Kevin tomorrow!
Anne returned to her room and settled in for the night. Instead of sleeping, she kept tossing and turning. She couldn't rid her mind of Kevin!
Growing agitated, Anne gritted her teeth. She sat up and shook her head. What was happening? It was getting so late, but she still couldn't fall asleep.
Tomorrow was an important day! Her plan was going to be carried out. Now she could show Cherry, who would never doubt her again!
'Kim, I am seeing you soon. What is this hesitation then?'
Anne forced herself to not think about anything. However, the more she tried not to think about something, her mind replayed even more scenes from her past. She felt helpless and more irritated.
The next morning, Anne appeared in front of everyone with dark circles underneath her eyes. Selma raised her eyebrows, silently questioning her. Anne raised her head and looked straight into Selma's eyes, subconsciously frowning.
I'm going to meet Kevin today. The bodyguards don't have to follow me," Anne stated as a matter-of- factly.
Selma was, however, not too keen on letting Anne go alone. She refused, shaking her head. Being a domineering woman, she didn't know how to be polite in her words as she ordered, "No! You are being delirious. I must send someone to follow you!"
Anne sneered, "I’m fine. I don't need you to worry about me. Besides, I'm going to meet Kevin. Are you going to stop me?"
Selma clenched her fists. She was about to burst into anger if Eddy hadn't held her hand to calm her down. Selma took one look at Eddy and suppressed her anger.
'Anne doesn't even know what she is doing. How could I be angry with her?
But how will I explain to Kevin, if something happens to Anne?'
Selma took out her phone and called Kevin. After Kevin gave her permission despite her wishes, she tossed aside the chopsticks in her hand and marched upstairs.
Since Kevin had agreed, Anne was let out.
As Anne watched Selma's retreating figure, a cold look flashed across her face. Eddy's warm voice broke her out of her reverie. "Mom! Why do you suddenly need to go see Dad?"
It had been days since Kevin had come back. He was avoiding Anne. Eddy was a smart kid, he understood why his father wasn't coming back.
With an emotionless smile on her face, Anne ruffled Eddy's little head and said nothing.
After finishing her meal, Anne left the Fu Family's mansion.
On the other hand, Cherry decided not to go to work today. Putting on a mask and hat, she disguised herself to meet with Anne.
When they finally met, Cherry looked at Anne with distrust. She warned, "Anne, you'd better follow the plan. If you dare frame me again, I'll upload the recording of our call!"
When they had been discussing the plan on the phone, Cherry had recorded their conversation as a safety measure.
Anne smiled sincerely. "Don't worry. I won't lie to you. Let's go now!"
Cherry agreed and followed Anne into the car. Kevin, on the other hand, was sitting on a sofa. His eyes not leaving his watch as he waited expectantly.
Anne hated Kevin. Despite this, she was willing to give him another chance. It surprised him. He was ready to hide from Anne for almost a year, but the turning point came early.
He was not expecting this to happen. It made him very happy!
Perhaps the medicine wasn't as strong, or maybe Anne did love him too much that the change took place.
Whatever the reason was, Kevin was glad.
