Chapter 69 Isted And Helpless


    "Aunt Selma, I didn''t mean that. I really just couldn''t find coffee beans imported from Germany," Anne


    apologized sincerely.


    She felt anxious as she looked at Selma''s infuriated face. She tried her best to calm her down but it


    seemed like she really had nothing to do with a woman who despised her so much.

    "Mrs. Anne, are you merely focused on yourself that you don''t take me seriously at all? How could you


    entertain me with a coffee that even the servants don''t drink?"


    Selma didn''t listen to Anne''s exnation at all. At this moment, she was really burning with anger. She


    finally had enough reason to despise her even more.


    "Aunt Selma, I..."


    Anne wanted to exin for herself, but she couldn''t find any reason. She saw the coffee beans in the


    kitchen a few days ago, but why did they suddenly disappear today? What was going on?


    At first, Anne wanted to tell the truth, but she knew that Selma would not believe her, so she could only


    doubt it in her heart.


    "That''s enough, Mrs. Anne. If you don''t wee me here, I will nevere here again!" Selma stood


    up and was about to leave.


    Anne wanted her to stay, despite seeing her infuriated face. Cherry was always prepared to be in


    action. She had already stopped Selma before Anne could.


    "Auntie, please don''t be angry. I''m sure that Anne didn''t intend to do that I knew that you wereing


    today, so I prepared some French coffee beans just for you. I didn''t know if you would like them or not,


    so I didn''t take them out until you got here."


    Cherry was so used to being a hypocrite, so she had practiced well in showing her sincerest affection


    towards the people she wanted to grift. She showed her genuine kindness to Selma which made her


    satisfied even more.


    Selma''s anger subsided after beingforted by Cherry. She just red at Anne when she sat down.


    "Auntie, please wait for me here. I''ll take them out now." After saying that, Cherry proudly red at


    Anne as she quickly walked towards her own room.


    Soon she handed some coffee beans to Anne.


    "Anne, can you help me brew a cup of coffee for Aunt Selma? I have to stay here and talk to her, so I


    don''t have time."


    Cherry felt so triumphant today. It was like winning a jackpot prize. She gained so much praise from


    Selma today. She grinned cheerfully as she went back to entertain Selma.


    Today, Anne hadpletely gave a bad impression on Selma. If Anne pushed herself to live with the


    Fu Family, she would totally have a hard time.


    Although Anne knew that Cherry was showing off in front of her on purpose, she had no choice but to


    take the coffee beans from her.


    Kevin''s voice came as soon as she walked into the kitchen.


    "Mom, who angered you just now? I heard that you were quite upset earlier."


    Kevin came down the stairs, and stood in front of Selma. He looked rather dashing with a smile painted


    on his face.


    Selma''s face softened when she saw her dearest son, but when she thought of what Anne had just


    done, her eyes were still burning with anger.


    "It''s all because of Anne. She just gave me a cup of coffee that she just bought from the supermarket.


    She didn''t take me seriously which made me feel so unwee."


    Kevin frowned after hearing her mother''s rants. His dark eyes red with coldness.


    "How could this happen?" Kevin raised his voice and narrowed his eyes in anger.


    "Kevin, Anne is really going too far this time. How could she entertain Aunt Selma this way?"


    Cherry ignited his anger with her words. Although this was all done on purpose, she sounded


    euphemistic enough to hide her ulterior motive.


    Kevin had always thought that Cherry was mindful of his feelings. Hearing her words, he got even


    angrier.


    "I see!" he said coldly. No one could figure out what he wanted to do to solve this matter based on the


    expression on his face.


    "Auntie, the coffee is ready."


    A few minutester, Anne put the coffee in front of Selma. She felt more cautious at the moment


    because of what just happened. She was afraid that she would irritate Selma again in any way.


    Selma rolled her eyes at Anne, picked up the coffee and took a sip of coffee.


    "How is it Auntie? Is it good?" Cherry looked at Selma nervously and asked in a soft voice.


    She put a lot of effort on it to surely impress Selma. She was afraid that Selma would be dissatisfied


    with whatever reason she might cause. It''s hard to lose a treasure you already hold.


    "It''s good Cherry! You have great taste. I love it." Selma''s words made her heart flutter in bliss. She


    was relieved that Selma was satisfied.


    "As long as you like it." With a faint smile, Cherry held Selma''s arm intimately while saying these words.


    A faint smile appeared on Kevin''s face as well when he saw his mother happy.


    He nced at the indifferent look on Anne''s face, and a hint of coldness shed into his eyes. ''This


    woman doesn''t care about my mother at all. Is it because she doesn''t care about me that much, so she


    treated my mother the same as she treated me?''


    And also, she called his mother aunt just now. Didn''t she know that the two of them were still husband


    and wife?


    "Auntie, the meal is already served. Shall we eat together?" Cherry said.


    Rich dishes had already been served on the table. The meal was much more extravagant because of


    Selma''s arrival.


    "Auntie, I heard from Kevin that you don''t like greasy food, so I asked the chef to cook light food. Would


    you like to have a try?"


    The dishes on the table were light. Although there were only a few meat dishes, they were garnished


    well to look appealing in the eyes. It could be seen that Cherry had everything prepared to wee


    Selma.


    "Cherry, you are so sweet and considerate. You even know my preferences so well. I''m relieved that


    my son has a woman as considerate as you by his side."


    Selma meant that she agreed with Cherry and Kevin together. They have her full support and approval.


    Thus, Cherry smiled like a victorious woman.


    "Auntie, Anne is still here." Cherry pretended to be embarrassed, and showed a fake consideration for


    Anne in front of them.


    "Anyway, the two are going to divorce sooner orter. After the baby is born, I will hold a wedding for


    the both of you as soon as possible."


    Anne waspletely ignored at the dining table. The only attention she got was a look of disgust from


    Selma.


    Despite hearing such painful derations of Selma, she still managed to remain calm. However, that


    was only on the surface. In fact, deep inside, she was feeling more isted and helpless as the


    seconds went by.


    Kevin felt slightly irritated of seeing Anne wearing an indifferent expression. It seemed like no matter


    what was said on the table, this woman hardly gave a reaction.


    "Mom, you''re here to visit me, not to discuss my marriage. Let''s just eat for now. We can talk about it


    later!"


    Kevin interrupted his mother impatiently. Having the thought of marriage right after Anne gave birth to


    their baby made him feel unknown restlessness in his heart.


    Looking at his irritated face, Cherry frowned in disappointment. Why didn''t he want to mention the


    marriage with her?


    Kevin looked really irritated this time. Selma could not help but add,


    "Kevin, I''m doing this for your own good. It''s your fortune to marry a considerate woman like Cherry in


    the future. You must seize it and don''t you dare to bully her."


    "Mom! I told you not to talk about it. Let''s eat!"


    The displeasure was apparent in Kevin''s eyes. He was definitely in no mood to talk about the marriage.


    Cherry felt a little disappointed, but just let Kevin be. They all started eating the delicious meals on the


    table.


    "Aunt Selma, we can talk about my rtionship with Kevinter. Besides, the most important thing to


    me is that we''re together. No worries Auntie, we are not in a rush. I am already satisfied to be at


    Kevin''s side."


    Cherry smiled gently and looked at Kevin affectionately.


    Everyone thought that Anne seduced Kevin for fame and fortune. Now that Cherry acted different from


    what they thought of Anne, Selma was relieved and felt really happy.


    After all, every mother wanted her son to have someone who truly loved him.


    "Okay, then. Let''s just continue eating." Selma considered his son''s mood and continued eating instead


    of pressing the issue.


    "Come on, Cherry. Eat more. You look too thin." Selma picked up food for Cherry and passed it onto


    her te with a smile.


    "Thank you, Auntie." Cherry was ttered and gave Selma a bright smile.


    She nced at Anne who was eating quietly. She looked so pathetic on the other side of the table, just


    like an outsider. Cherry couldn''t help but stifle augh.


    Anne knew that no one wanted her to be at the table. Although deep inside, she really felt


    ufortable and awkward, she could still manage to remain calm.


    Kevin felt a little distressed watching Anne getting ignored at the table.


    He put some vegetables into her bowl and said softly,


    "Eat more. You''re getting thin."


    There was no expression on his face, but all the people who were present at that time, were stunned.


    The people who knew Kevin best were none other than Selma and Cherry. The two of them could see


    that Kevin had changed his attitude towards Anne.


    On the other hand, Anne was quietly looking at Kevin. She didn''t know what trick he was ying. Did


    he really care for her? Or did he do it on purpose to humiliate her? Obviously, it was thetter.


    Anne would never believe that this man would have the heart to care about her.


    "Thank you!"


    No matter what the reason was, she didn''t want to overthink about it at this time, she had endured so


    much today. She just thanked him and continued to eat.


    Selma didn''t like how Kevin cared for Anne. She didn''t deserve Kevin''s affection.


    Cherry finally came to her senses after she was lost in thought by what Kevin just did. Although she felt


    jealous of Anne, she still wore a smile on her face.


    "That''s right, Anne. You should eat more nutritious foods for the baby to be healthy."


    Anne could see how fake of a person Cherry was. Her smile was so evil that she couldn''t help but to


    feel disgusted.
