Chapter 245 Please Take Kevin Back
Chapter 245 Please Take Kevin Back
Kevin was not someone that Rose could deal with easily. If this thing went on, it would be impossible
for her to get rid of him.
After a lot of contemplation, she finally made up her mind.
She stood in front of the East Mountain Villa.
The sun shone brightly but it wasn't scorching. Rose stood in amusement upon the breath-taking sight
in front of her. The mansion that stood majestically in front of an enriched mountain made the place
look almost surreal.
Her sight-seeing was interrupted when a servant approached her.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Rose but Miss Anne doesn't want to see any guest at the moment," the maid
informed her.
"I'm not a guest, I'm her sister. Can you please let me in?" she insisted.
The attendant stared at her in confusion. She thought that she was Kevin's fiancee, but why would she
call herself Miss Anne's sister?
Without hesitance, they opened the door and let her enter.
The first thing that she noticed when she went in was the refreshing plant inside. Now that she thought
about it, she had hated Anne for a very shallow reason—for being unable to get Kevin. Now that she
didn't want him anymore, she managed to look at Anne from a different perspective.
"Anne," she called with a smile as she put her gift on the table.
"What are you doing here?" Anne gaped at her visitor in surprise.
She instructed the servants not to let her in, but it seemed like they failed to comply.
"I have something to tell you," she began shyly.
Anne's heart ached at the sight. Did she come here to brag about her relationship with Kevin?
No, it couldn't be.
"Go ahead," Anne urged after she regained her composure.
"Please, take Kevin back." Her voice was so sincere that she didn't know if she was hearing things
right.
What was she saying? Her face contorted with bemusement. When Rose noticed the skeptical look on
her face, she added, "I'm being sincere. I don't like him, anymore. I will be happier if you come back to
him."
That was for the better. After all, she didn't hate Anne that much.
"Did you come here to tell me that?" Anne raised her brows at her. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"I didn't come here to fight or what. I don't like Kevin anymore and I admit that whatever happened
before was my fault. If I didn't stand in your way, you would have been living with him happily by now."
She sounded so desperate that she was almost pleading.
Anne kept a straight face. There was nothing on her face and Rose couldn't figure out if she was
pleased or not.
"You may leave now as I have nothing to say to you. Your relationship with Kevin is none of my
business. In the same way, my decision whether to stay with him or not is not something that you
should meddle with."
If Anne and Kevin had trusted each other and if they tried to resolve their misunderstandings, nothing
could have destroyed them. Not even Rose.
"I know you're still mad at me," she muttered coldly.
Her coldness failed to intimidate Anne as she only answered her with a snort. "There's no reason for
me to be angry at you. Stop overthinking things."
"Please just hear me out. I never slept with him and I'm not pregnant either. Everything that happened
was all planned. I'm in love with someone else. If you don't take Kevin back, I won't be able to be with
the man that I love." Even though begging was not her cup of tea, this was the only choice that she had
to get rid of him.
Anne was taken aback not because of what Rose had done but because she dared to confess
everything to her.
She inhaled deeply as she met her eyes. "Just go back for now. I'll think about it."
Once she sent her guest away, she flopped on the sofa. She stared blankly at the ceiling as her heart
started to sway.
There was nothing between her and Kevin anymore but was that enough for them to get back
together?
No matter how much she denied it, she knew too well that she and Eddy needed him.
It was busy in the L Group company.
Rose sat in the Vice General Manager's office silently.
She was wearing a pair of a professional suit as she did a thorough examination of A City's commercial
property. She scrutinized every detail after she found out that it was near Mark's restaurant. Just by that
thought, she became very excited.
This was an opportunity for her to meet with Mark without being suspicious.
The coffee on the table wasn't touched at all. Even without taking a sip, its bitter smell was enough to
wake her up. However, her thrilled emotion only lasted until eleven o'clock in the morning.
"Come in," she answered casually after she heard a knock on the door.
Her secretary, Ayla Liu, came in. "Are you done sorting out the business reports and the budget for the
sales of the building already?"
Even though she knew that her assistant was an efficient employee who graduated as a top student
from a famous intentional university, she was still surprised that she could complete the work so fast.
That time, though, Ayla Liu didn't come for business. "Miss Rose, the president of AN Group wanted to
see you in private. I told him to wait for you by the coffee shop opposite the company."
The superior couldn't help but frown at her. "How could you decide that by yourself? You should have
discussed that matter with me."
Her boss's dissatisfied voice confused her. "Wasn't it always like this? Whenever you're busy, I'll ask
him to wait for you?"
"Not anymore," Rose uttered.
Their conversation got interrupted when Kevin pushed the door open.
"How did you manage to get in?" she asked.
Was everyone in her company got bribed by this man?
"I'm no longer an outsider so I came in without breaking a sweat. Do you want to go out with me?" He
beamed his charming smile at her. The secretary who witnessed the scene got flustered so she looked
down.
"I can't. I'm very busy with my work at the moment," she declined. All that she wanted right now was for
him to disappear from her sight.
Instead of leaving, he said, "That's good. In that way, I can work with you. You can leave now as I have
something to discuss with Miss Rose."
Since he was her superior's boyfriend, Ayla Liu didn't dare to refuse him. She bowed at Rose before
she turned around to leave.
"Aren't you busy? What brought you here?" she asked as she feigned a smile.
"I missed you so much, so I came here to see you." Kevin met her eyes as he stepped closer to her.
Their proximity disgusted her, but she couldn't do anything. He was her fiancee so if she did something,
that would embarrass both of them. The only thing she could do was give him a lopsided smile.
"We're in the company. Please don't do something that others might misunderstand."
"Do you have some sort of surveillance camera in here?" He peered at her innocently as if he didn't
understand what she said. That only made her feel worse.
"Listen, you go back for now. I'll see you in a few days after I finish all my work, okay?" she proposed.
"Sure, but you have to come with me later. My mother wanted to see you because she's missing you a
lot these days," he whispered in her ears. His hot breath against her skin caused a shiver to run down
her spine.
"I got it! I'll head there after work. You may leave now."
"Are you trying to push me away?" His voice was deep and cold that Rose kept mum for a moment.
"I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I'll meet you later, okay?" She tried to use a sweet voice at him.
The darkness of the night slowly overcame the daybreak.
In the distance, the sunset created a red-orange hue in the sky. The stars started to appear one by one
as Kevin drove quietly along the street. His expression was quite unexplainable.
Rose sat uncomfortably on the passenger seat. There was a hard look on her face as she sat with
Kevin in an enclosed space.
"We're here," he announced as he quickly got off the car to open the door for her. How chivalrous of
him.
Selma had been waiting for them outside. When she saw how Kevin acted in front of Rose, she
couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"You two are finally here!" she greeted them cheerfully.
"Yes mom, we came here to see you," Rose returned her smile.
At that, Kevin wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"It's a good thing that you came here. We can finally discuss your wedding date."
"What do you mean?" she asked as she creased her forehead.
"The day you're going to get married! Aren't you excited?" Selma queried.
"No, actually we are―"
Just as she was about to tell her that they were going to break up, Kevin held her hand tightly. "You can
choose the day that you want us to get married," he stated.
A cold sweat broke out from her. No, she didn't want to get married to him.
"But I…"
"Listen to me or you'll regret it," he subtly whispered in her ears.
Upon his words, the only thing that she could do was to lower her head.
"If you had been this enthusiast from the beginning, I would have been less worried, Kevin."
Selma shook her head as she entered the house. Once she was gone, Rose turned to him. "I don't
want to marry you so don't force me, okay?"
"Stop it…" he said instead as he patted her head. His smile brought a chill in Rose's body.
Throughout the dinner, Kevin tried his best to show off his love for Rose. He would always say sweet
nothings to her. Kevin would also serve some food. At that sight, Selma and Carl thought that he was
finally acting like a real man.
"Rose is such a charming lady, right? Now that you got yourself a good woman, you should treat her
well. It was a good thing that you broke up with Anne," his mother remarked with a frown.
"If you say so." Kevin picked up his food and ate casually.
Except for Rose, everyone seemed to be happy.
Time went by just like that. It was filled with laughter, yet Rose couldn't bring herself to join their fun. As
the night went by, exhaustion enveloped her body that she couldn't even pretend to be happy anymore.
Kevin glanced at her from time to time.
"It's already late. You should go to bed," he mumbled.
It was such a gentle reminder. If he did that in the past, she would have been over the clouds. Sadly,
she felt the opposite in the present.
