Renewal Of Love

Chapter 555 Extra Story - Anything Else

Only two people were in the car, Kevin, who was driving, and Anne. When the latter turned to look at

her husband, she felt some tension between them. Anne tried to recall what had happened during the

day. However, apart from her fall, she didn't do anything out of line. It was safe to say she had no clue

as to why Kevin looked so unhappy.

"All I did was drink a little too much. I just didn't want you to worry about me, that's all. I felt a little dizzy,

and that's why I bumped into Sam by accident," explained Anne carefully. Her gaze was still fixated on

Kevin.

"Really?" His tone of voice was incredulous.

"Nothing more?" Kevin then stopped the car on the side of the road. He switched off the engine and sat

there in silence. During this moment, which seemed like an eternity, his eyes were fixed on the steering

wheel. Unwilling to look at Anne, he lit a cigarette and proceeded to enjoy the suffocating smoke.

"No, that's all that happened! The alcohol just got the best of me. I wasn't expecting the effect it would

have on me."

But the silent man in the driver's seat chose not to say anything.

Anne, anxious by the lack of response from her husband, tried to go over her actions. There must have

been something else she had done. Unfortunately, she felt lost. What was more, the sight of Kevin,

who was surrounded by a cloud of dark smoke, added to her feeling of helplessness. She had already

felt very embarrassed at the luncheon, and now Kevin's attitude made her feel even worse.

"Nothing else comes to mind," Anne whispered, as she tried to suppress the nervousness in her voice.

However, the tears in her eyes revealed her true emotions.

Anne had made a fool of herself when she first officially met Sam, and that was out of the question.

Nevertheless, she never figured this would be such a serious issue for Kevin. After all, it was all an

accident. Alas, she was given the cold shoulder by her own husband.

Of course, the latter, who was still immersed in his thoughts, failed to acknowledge her emotions.

Anne lowered her head and silently wiped the tears off her eyes. Then, she took a look at the man next

to her. Kevin refused to return the look, so he threw away the cigarette and started the car.

Some minutes had passed when they finally arrived at the hotel. Kevin parked the car and immediately

went to get Anne from her seat. He held her in his arms and walked back to their room, ignoring all the

murmurs and surprised faces.

Similar to the night before, Anne was carried back to their shared bed. Unfortunately, the mood had

radically changed between the two.

She sat on the edge of the bed and recalled the beautiful night they had shared the night before, and

the warmth of this morning when she woke up in his arms. She suddenly felt out of control.

She lowered her head and bit her lips, trying her best to restrain herself. She didn't want Kevin to see

right through her.

The latter, however, noticed the way Anne was behaving. She was sitting on the bed in a simple dress,

which revealed her pale neck covered by her glossy hair.

The neckline of the dress was rather low and inviting. Her waist was wrapped up with a belt, which

highlighted her slim silhouette. The irregular hemline of the dress and her milky-white delicate skin

made her look cute.

All of these details made Kevin remember the way she looked at the party today. The corner of her

dress was raised. Her eyes revealed her cheerful self. He could see how she was satisfied when

tasting the wine due to her facial expressions. It was obvious that she wanted to grab something to eat,

but chose to restrain herself instead.

He had learnt how to read his wife like a book.

He remembered that Anne had already met Sam somewhere he didn't know. Additionally, she had

secretly glanced at Sam once. The two of them had in fact bumped into each other. That was why she

was holding onto his clothes tightly.

Anne didn't think too much about this. Unfortunately, that couldn't be said about Kevin. He had

witnessed this chain of events with his own eyes and, at this moment, he felt furious. But he chose to

suppress his emotions.

The gloominess returned to his eyes. He just couldn't stand seeing her as the object of attention of

others.

For a long time, the two of them remained silent.

As soon as Anne calmed down, she felt the urge to look at Kevin. As if he had read her mind, he

proceeded to walk up to her.

When Anne finally raised her head, she noticed he was getting near. The need to meet his gaze was

increasing.

"Anne." Kevin's voice was almost a whisper. There seemed to be some suppressed emotions in his

tone of voice. He rested his hand on her glossy hair. With utmost gentleness, he stroked it, as though

he was trying to calm Anne down.

"Kevin, I really am clueless." she felt relieved by his display of affection. However, her calm mood

began to fade away. Then, she raised her hand to hold onto Kevin's waist.

"Okay." He was evidently dissatisfied with her response. He squinted slightly. Nevertheless, he couldn't

show his true emotions to her now.

All of a sudden, Kevin lifted Anne up and threw her on the bed.

"Ah! What was that for?" she asked, evidently perplexed by his actions.

Kevin trapped her body between his arms. He gently brushed her smooth skin with careful fingers just

to feel her temperature. His fingertips outlined her collarbone and Anne shivered under his touch. His

hand travelled down her figure, stroking it slowly. The way he touched her made her feel like a rare

treasure.

However, as she was imprisoned in his arms, Anne had little space to move. Kevin had put his weight

on top of her and now the only things moving were his wandering hands. The way things had

developed in such a short time left her completely speechless.

So, in a bid to regain her composure, she put her hands on Kevin's chest and tried to push him away.

"Well. Do you have anything else to say?" He raised his tone slightly. It was too difficult to accept

Anne's rejection in the situation they were in.

"It's time we have a talk." She looked at Kevin with misty eyes.

"You think so? How did you meet Sam behind my back?" Kevin was definitely a little annoyed.

"Or shall we talk about why you keep looking at him? Or why did you hold onto his clothes?" It was safe

to say he wasn't holding back on calling Anne out.

The flirtatious mood was certainly over now that he had lost his mind.

"What?" Anne was a little stunned. She couldn't believe the interrogation coming from him. His

questions had been so out of left field. She finally sobered up.

"Okay, so I'm all ears now!" Kevin let go of her and sat up with his arms crossed, as if he was waiting All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

for a quick explanation.

The couple exchanged nervous looks. On the one hand, Anne felt sure of what she wanted to say. On

the other hand, however, she hadn't expected such a misunderstanding. So, she failed to speak her

mind.

Quickly, she tried to gather her thoughts. "I'll answer your first question," she said slowly.

"When I went out with Emily this morning, I noticed someone had collapsed on the ground, and Mr.

Sam was treating the patient."

"But why did you caught his attention?" Kevin looked at Anne seriously.

"That's because Mr. Sam came to meet Emily after he cured the patient who had previously fainted. He

came to talk to her and that's when I finally got to know him. I was the new one in the group, since they

obviously knew each other," said Anne, shrugging her shoulders.

After she figured out why her husband was so angry, Anne found a way to explain herself. "In regards

to your second question, I was frequently looking at Mr. Sam, because I felt curious about the

relationship between him and Emily."

"I had wanted to ask you what you know about Mr. Sam and what kind of man he is."

After listening to these explanations, Kevin let out a sigh of relief. He realized that this whole situation

had really affected him. The thought of Anne interested in that man made him feel uneasy. He couldn't

believe how harsh he was being with her. In the end, it was really not worth it.

Fortunately, Anne could tell Kevin's feelings had changed. His eyes revealed how much he felt sorry for

his actions. She was very relieved.

"Okay," Kevin snorted, tilting his head. He climbed on the bed with her again.

"Wait, don't you want to know the answer to the third question?" Anne held his face with her soft hands.

She looked at him and exchanged a teasing gaze.

"Naughty girl!" Kevin planted a quick peck on the tip of her nose.

It wasn't a secret that she was a little drunk, before they had the much needed talk. However, after

finally comforting her husband, not only did she feel relaxed but her drunkenness also came back.

Although he was interested in knowing the answer to the last question, the time to talk about this had

obviously passed.

In fact, they still had plenty of time to talk about it. Obviously, the top priority now was to continue their

flirtatious advances after they had been interrupted.

Anne slowly lay down on the bed.

When the loving couple finally left the room, they realized it was time for dinner. The family sat at the

table. Much to his chagrin, Ted hadn't seen his parents for the whole afternoon. So, at this moment, he

was moving his little legs with excitement and stretching out his arms and fingers to hug his parents.

Anne spotted the bright eyes of her sweet child. Unfortunately, she felt a little sting in her waist. She

rubbed it in a bid to soothe the pain, all the while glaring at Kevin to express her dissatisfaction.

He looked at her back, oblivious to the meaning behind her stare, with charming and dazzling eyes. He

couldn't figure why she was looking at him this way. It was safe to say he had interpreted it as

something completely different.

His eyes turned into crescent moons. Indeed, he was very satisfied with what had happened today.

Kevin picked up the toddler from the baby chair and planted a quick kiss on his cheek. Ted was

beaming with happiness due to his dad's display of affection. Then, he turned around to look for her

mom with open arms.

Kevin couldn't help but laugh and walked to Anne, so the kid could give her a hug. It was not until his

mom kissed him on the face that Ted finally calmed down and behaved properly.

"What a drama king!" Kevin laughed again.

Unbothered by the attention, the little boy grinned cheerfully.

At last, the three of them enjoyed dinner together.

After eating, the family went back to their rooms to get some rest.

In the dead of the night, Kevin woke up with sweat all over his forehead. Immediately, he looked at the

sleeping girl lying beside him. So, in order not to disturb her, he quietly stood up and walked towards

Ted's room.

The painful scenes were invading his mind once again. He felt so helpless.

Under the dim light of the table lamp, Kevin looked at his sleeping son. Ted was smacking his lips, as if

he had been eating something delicious in his dream. Kevin realized the similarities between his son's

and Anne's button nose. What was more, Ted had really long eyelashes, which made him look even

more endearing.

Kevin couldn't imagine the kind of pain the child in his dream would suffer every day. In fact, he felt

blessed, because he got to see his child so happy today.

He recalled what they had done and Ted was enjoying himself so much. Even though the toddler was

still sleeping, he had a grin on his chubby face. Funnily enough, he looked like a little elf.

Kevin thought this was the sight of a happy child.

The man bent down and proceeded to kiss Ted's forehead. He said softly, "Good night, son. Have a

good dream."

He walked back to his room and lay beside Anne again. He couldn't help but think about the

misunderstanding they had cleared today. He thought those scenes that kept flashing in his mind were

like an alarm clock for his life. They constantly reminded him of how happy he felt now.

Unfortunately, he found it hard to go back to sleep. So, he just closed his eyes and thought of what they

were going to do the next day.

He wanted to spend these days with Anne and Ted. All he wanted was to be happy with his family. He

didn't want to constantly have those awful scenes playing in his head.

He let go off the burden in his heart and thought of other things. Without noticing, he fell asleep with the

sound of Anne's breath.

The sun rose slowly the next morning. It was a new day.
