Chapter 170 Taking Cherry Home


    "Kevin, thank you. If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t know what to do." This time, Cherry was actually being


    sincere.


    She often acted weak and frail to win over Kevin''s attention especially when Anne was around.


    However, this time around, she genuinely appreciated Kevin. Without him, she wouldn''t know what


    would happen to her.


    "Now you can go back by yourself," Kevin said inly.


    In response, Cherry shook her head and refused, "No, I don''t want to. Kevin, he already knows where I


    live. Considering what I said to him today, he definitely won''t let me go!"


    She shivered in fear at the mere thought of Devin.


    It was true that she hated her mother with a burning passion. That was also what drove her to push her


    mother which caused her death.


    It was her mother who had been unfaithful to her father. When she gave birth to Cherry, she did it in


    secret. She should have been the daughter of the Ye n. Why did her mother have to tell her the


    truth and let her live in the shame of being constantly threatened by Devin?


    "That''s none of my business." Kevin didn''t even attempt to hide his disappointment at Cherry.


    In particr, he hated Cherry for setting him and Anne up that led to a misunderstanding between the


    two of them. It was ironic that the one whom he hated the most turned out to be the most innocent.


    "Kevin, what if something happens to me? Are you just going to stand back and watch?" Cherry said


    softly, sobbing.


    Resigned, Kevin took Cherry home.


    All the lights in the entire Fu Family''s Vi were turned on. Themps stretched all the way to hundreds


    of meters outside the gate as if they intended to greet the people who wereing homete.


    Upon Cherry and Kevin''s arrival at the vi, the first person they saw was Anne sitting on the sofa. It


    seemed as if she was drawing something.


    Anne looked up only to find Kevin with Cherry.


    To make things worse, Cherry raised her eyebrows and smiled tauntingly at Anne.


    Naturally, Anne was pissed off. She had told Kevin that he was free to go wherever he wanted with


    Cherry. However, he couldn''t bring her home.


    ''Is he just so eager to see her? It just has been only a few days.''


    Scowling, Anne packed up her things in an attempt to leave. Kevin grabbed her by the hand and


    quickly said, "Anne, please listen to me."


    She had a sour look on her face. "What do you have to tell me? Like you said, this is your home. You


    can bring home whoever you want and make anyone leave. What is there to exin?"


    "That''s not it," Kevin said helplessly.


    At that moment, Cherry chimed in, "Yes, Anne. My father wanted to hurt me today. Kevin was just nice


    enough to save me so he took me back."


    Anne turned and left as soon as Cherry finished speaking.


    Regret filled Kevin as he red at Cherry. Then he turned to the housemaid and ordered, "Find her a


    room on the second floor."


    With that, he went to chase after Anne.


    Anne became even more infuriated knowing that Kevin was following her. She intended to close the


    door, mming it to his face. However, he reached out to block the door but was unable to as his hand


    was injured.


    When she caught sight of this, she blinked her eyes in concern.


    "Anne, listen to me. I didn''t bring her back to annoy you this time." It wasn''t until then that he realized


    how much she truly abhorred Cherry.


    "Sure, you weren''t trying to piss me off." A cold smile appeared on her faceced with skepticism.


    Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, she then said, "You''re just trying to drive me away."


    "I already know that Cherry isn''t your uncle''s child," Kevin said loudly.


    Only then did shee to her senses. Despite not knowing what was going on, she still couldn''t help


    but feel upset.


    She''d always hoped that Cherry would be exposed—that she wasn''t actually a daughter of the Ye n


    so that Anne''s uncle could finally rest in peace. Now it was rather useless for everyone to find out since


    her uncle was dead already.


    "Anne? Why didn''t you tell me earlier?" Kevin asked worriedly, putting his arm around her shoulder.


    This was the first time that she had heard him talk to her in such a tone.


    "Would you have believed if I told you then? You always thought I was after the money and that I was


    unkind to Cherry because she was a threat to our rtionship. Would it have made a difference if I told


    you?"


    she said, smiling bitterly—a smile that tugged at Kevin''s heartstrings.


    Normally, she would be upset but she was done feeling bad for herself. She was much stronger now.


    No one knew how much she had struggled and suffered.


    Carefully studying her expression, he realized he had been wrong.


    "From now on, I''ll make sure that you never have to suffer anymore," he said solemnly.


    Unfortunately, it was already toote. He''d already disappointed her beyond repair. "I don''t care if you


    still have feelings for Cherry or not. I don''t care if you think you owe me or not. Just stay away from me.


    I hate you."


    "What if I want to make it up to you?" Kevin pressed.


    "It''s toote now, Kevin. If you still want your son to be a part of this family, don''t force me or I''ll take


    him away with me." This was Anne''sst trump card.


    In reality, he had a million ways to stop her—he just chose not to. He knew she was much tougher now


    and he had to be careful around her. If he forced her, he might only drive her farther away.


    "Well, I''ll try my best but I have to tell you that I don''t really like Cherry. Recently, I''ve been investigating


    into everything that had happened that year. I want to get to the bottom of this. How many secrets has


    Cherry hidden from me? I know you hate the Ye n and Cherry. Would you mind helping me?" Kevin


    asked.


    This time, Anne didn''t object. She too wanted to know what else Cherry had done besides the things


    she already knew about.


    "Okay."


    Night passed and soon, the morning sun broke out in the dawn.


    Anne sat in the garden, seemingly in a daze.


    Worried that she would catch a cold, Kevin draped a nket over her. Since she didn''t want to fight


    with him anymore, she merely epted his kind gesture without putting up a fight.


    Meanwhile, Cherry stood by the window of her room on the second floor, watching this entire scene


    unfold.


    Fury surged through her veins as she watched Kevin carefully drape a nket over Anne.


    He used to reserve his tenderness for her and now Anne had taken that away.


    Anne was actually rted to the Ye n but only Cherry carried the name as the daughter of the Ye


    n. In contrary, Cherry was the one who wasn''t actually a member of the Ye n.


    This was precisely the reason why Cherry targeted Anne.


    "Why? Are you not happy?" Kevin asked thoughtfully, studying the expression on her face.


    It was true that he cared about Anne deeply. He had just been in denial for so long in fear that he would


    fall for her further.


    "No, Kevin. If you can leave me alone, I''ll be happier," Anne spat.


    She knew that he was indifferent to her before because of all the evidence against her. Everyone


    thought she was a bad person. But if he really cared about her, shouldn''t he be believing her over what


    other people said?


    "I know you''re probably ming me. I''ll ask my mother and grandpa toe over one of these days


    and I''ll tell them that you didn''t do anything wrong. I''m sure they''ll ept you. Then you can stay in the


    Fu Family permanently."


    More than anything, he wanted to marry Anne again and make her the happiest bride in the world.


    An ironic smile yed at the corners of Anne''s mouth. "Don''t you think you''re being a hypocrite?


    I couldn''t care less about staying in the Fu Family or not. I don''t love you so I don''t care."


    Her words felt like sharp knives stabbing into Kevin''s heart, crushing his pride.


    While this hurt, he chose not to me her. He understood how much he must have hurt her in the past.


    "It doesn''t matter whether or not you care. But I don''t like owing anyone anything. As long as you''re still


    in the Fu Family, I''ll do my best to make it up to you," Kevin said coolly.


    Anne''s cold heart suddenly softened. She didn''t care aboutpensation. Some wounds just ran too


    deep to heal even if there waspensation.


    He had always held a special ce in her heart but he had just hurt her too much that she felt as if her


    heart was long dead.


    This wasn''t how she wanted things to be. All it took was for Kevin to show her love and affection and


    her heart would spring back to life.


    ''Anne, it seems you forget about all the pain and suffering you experienced just because you''ve


    recovered,''


    she cursed herself inwardly.


    Selma arrived before noon.


    She had with her bags of toys, clothes, and milk for the baby. If anything, she didn''t look like the mother


    of the CEO of the AN Group but just a regr old grandmother who loved her grandson.


    "Auntie," Cherry greeted, seemingly embarrassed.


    She wanted to avoid Selma especially that Selma had already kicked her outst time.


    However, Cherry didn''t want to be impolite lest Selma get even angrier with her.

    With a straight face, Selma asked Kevin, "What is she doing here? She might hurt my grandson."


    As much as she didn''t like Anne, she loved her grandson too much. As a result, she hated Cherry eve


    more.


    "Mom, I''ll exin it to youter tonight," Kevin said inly.


    That night, everything about Cherry and all the evil things she had done was going to be divulged.


    He was going to find out everything that Cherry had done and expose her for who she truly was.


    Consequently, he would be able to portray Anne in a better light.


    "I don''t care. I just want you to stop messing around with Cherry. You should be treating my grandson


    well. You haven''t even given him a name. How could you call yourself a father?"
