Chapter 243 A Turn Of Events


    "Get out of here, Kevin!" Anne tried her best to hold back her temper, but she couldn''t help but burst


    out her anger to Kevin, who enjoyed himself by teasing her.


    Seeing that Anne was at her limits, Kevin refrained from ying with her. "Rx! I''m just trying to cheer


    you up because you looked tired from the other day. Have a good rest. I promise I won''t try to anything


    to you."


    Kevin''s words made her ease a little. Anne turned her head and the look on her face became softer


    than before.


    At this moment, Kevin''s phone rang. He never hid anything from Anne, so she knew who was calling


    him when she took a nce at his phone.


    It was Rose again.


    As she saw Rose''s name sh in Kevin''s phone, Anne''s face slowly darkened. Her good mood from


    before suddenly vanished and she became very depressed.


    It was obvious for Kevin to know what was on Anne''s mind. "Don''t worry. I have nothing to do with her."


    He sounded reassuring.


    He was about to open his mouth and to clearly exin everything but Anne interrupted him. "Let''s talk


    about itter. You can answer the phone first."


    He looked at Anne for a second, and answered the phone. Rose''s voice from the other line was


    different than usual. "Kevin, let''s meet," she said.


    "Why?" Confusion resonated in Kevin''s voice.


    "I have given up on you. Let''s end this." Rose spoke as if she felt relieved from all the pain and


    suffering. She sounded like she had been liberated from restraints.


    "Okay, I''ll be right there." Kevin''s excitement brimmed on his face. His efforts, all for this moment, was


    not in vain.


    After hanging up the phone, Kevin looked at Anne and said, "I''m going to do something important. Can


    youe with me?"


    He wanted to take Anne and let her announce that he was finally hers in public. He wanted to tell the


    world that he belonged to Anne, and that there was no one out there that could take him away from her.


    He felt incredibly happy at the thought of it.


    However, Anne shook her head as if telling him that she was not going. "It''s your own business."


    It was true that he needed to solve this matter with Rose privately. Otherwise, other people might think


    that Anne seemed to show off that she somehow won the battle if she went with him. It would be fine if


    it was someone else but since Rose was Anne''s half-sister, she had to consider the dignity and


    reputation of Luo Family. She could not do anything she wanted and she didn''t want to make trouble for


    herself.


    "All right."


    After thinking for a while, Kevin caressed Anne''s head and stared at her, his eyes drowning with love


    and affection. Anne frowned as if she was embarrassed about him looking at her but it was obvious


    that she was as happy and excited as he was, and that she was just trying to suppress this undeniable


    feeling her heart.


    "I''m leaving. Call me if anything happens," Kevin said. Anne nodded as he watched Kevin leave.


    In the western restaurant owned by Mark,


    there were two freshly brewed cups of steaming coffee on the table. The porcin tes looked


    exquisite too, as they matched the vintage coffee table.


    Today, Rose dressed up in a simple style with her green motorbike jacket and slim trousers. She


    looked like a heroine described in novels and books. Her decisive look suddenly made Kevin, who


    came to meet her, feel uneasy.


    "Kevin, you came." Rose smiled and asked a waiter to change her coffee. She preferred to have


    sweeter one.


    "Yes." Kevin''s voice was cold and calcting.


    But Rose didn''t mind. Looking at Kevin, she admitted to herself that he was still the most handsome


    and talented man she had ever met, but she no longer had that obsessive feeling towards him.


    "You must be surprised to see me just now, am I right?" Rose shed a smile as she asked.


    A hint of confusion could be observed from Kevin''s eyes, which made her more confident. In fact, she


    could have been like this since the beginning. She had already decided to find a person who would


    want to be with her, rather than shamelessly chase someone who didn''t even like her. But she didn''t


    know what Mark really thought of her.


    But why couldn''t she try again for the man she loved, since she had already did a lot of despicable


    things just for Kevin to be with her?


    "No" Kevin didn''t even gave Rose a bit of hope.


    "Don''t worry. Whether you are surprised or not, I won''t bother you anymore. I suddenly realize that


    being alone is freer and easier than being entangled with you, Kevin," Rose said with a faint, sad smile


    painted on her face.


    "Have you thought about it through?" Kevin looked up and asked. His eyes was rxed and calm.


    "Yes, I have thought it through. But your eagerness to leave me made me feel bad." Rose was being


    honest. Her tone was not as gentle as before.


    "Yes, but you are engaged to me and pregnant with my child. I should bear responsibility for you,"


    Kevin said seriously, fixing his eyes on her as if telling her that he was certain about what he said.


    "No, thanks. Just forget about the baby." Rose''s heart sank, even though she was sure about leaving


    him.


    "It''s impossible. I won''t put you into that kind of situation. Besides, I''ve came to like you after getting


    along with you for such a long time," Kevin sulkily said.


    Rose was stunned for a moment. ''What happened to Kevin? I have already outgrown my feelings for


    him. Did he fall in love with me all of a sudden?'' She was drowned in her own thoughts because of


    what Kevin said to her.


    "You don''t have to like me. You like Anne, don''t you? Go and find your true love." And it urred to


    her, if Kevin suddenly changed his mind and didn''t let her go, how could she be able to find the one she


    really love? Rose felt scared at that thought.


    "I think that you really are my true love. Can you give me another chance?" Kevin insisted. He was


    almost pleading.


    Rose was taken aback. Her face looked nervous. "There''s really no need. I''m not really pregnant and I


    didn''t have sex with you at all. Please let me go. I lied to you because I was being possessive and I


    wanted you so bad. I''m sorry that I didn''t told you sooner because I don''t want to ruin my reputation to


    you. But now that we''re breaking up, I really don''t care about those trivial things anymore. So stop


    telling me these things. You''re scaring me," she confessed.


    Kevin lowered his head after hearing Rose''s words. He could not control the cunning expression


    written on his face. He had confirmed that Rose''s pregnancy was fake, however, he did not expect the


    part where they had sex would be a lie too.


    It was because of her tricks that there were so many misunderstandings and conflicts between him and


    Anne. Was it fair for himself to let Rose go so easily?


    "Are you serious?" Kevin pretended to ask in disbelief.


    "Of course it''s true. I didn''t have any motive to lie to you at a time like this. Why would I frame myself if I


    was not telling truth?" she talked as if she was trying to find the right words to say.


    Kevin faked his loneliness and nodded.


    Rose felt relieved when she saw the look on his face. She thought that Kevin would finally let her go


    this time. It seemed that he had believed her.


    "If so, I think it''s necessary for me to hold on." He blunted out of nowhere. Rose''s emotions are being


    stirred inside her, the situation became worse.


    "Ah--" she was caught off guard. She couldn''t find the right words to say. She looked at Kevin as if she


    was about to throw up due to anxiety.


    "It seem that you are not a casual person. Our family needs a daughter-inw like you." Kevin tried to


    maintain hisposure. He enjoyed to see Rose''s reaction to his schemes.


    How could he get his way in front of his mother without any treacherous acts while living in the Fu


    Family?


    "But Kevin, it is Anne that you like the most." Rose''s voice trailed off. It was always difficult for her to


    guess what was in Kevin''s mind. It made her feel restless.


    She finally thought through about these things, but what happened to Kevin? Was he insane?


    "Rose, it seems that I have fallen in love with you." Kevin looked certain about his words. He sounded


    so sincere. This made Rose cough violently.


    "Kevin, don''t y with me. You like my sister so much that you can do whatever it takes just to make


    her happy. I have tried so hard but I failed to destroy your rtionship with her. Don''t ask for another


    trouble anymore, okay?" Rose kept cursing at Kevin inside her thoughts. She stood as if she was about


    to leave the restaurant when Kevin stopped her.


    "I don’t remember that I agreed about us breaking up. Where are you going?" He also stood up as if he


    was going with her. "I''ll drive you there," Kevin casually said.


    Rose was frozen in her ce. Kevin gently pulled her by the sleeve, made his way out of the restaurant


    with her and made her sit into his car.


    "Well, I''ll drive you home first. We''ll talk about it again after you calmed yourself down," he said.


    In Daniel Hotel.


    The most unique and expensive room of the hotel was not for rent. There was arge balcony on which


    one could see the whole city. The city lights from cars and skyscrapers were breathtaking at night.


    During this time, Ian was standing in that room''s balcony. The curtains were pulled open and the thick,


    warm and bright-colored curtains suddenly made the ce feel like home.


    Warm andfort were the two main theme of Daniel''s Hotel.


    Ian had always been a warm person. He could be lonely and proud sometimes, but in essence, he


    always had that warmth inside him.


    But this time, he stood on the balcony and looked at the view of the city at night. His shoulders were


    rendered deste, as if he was covered with devastation.


    His assistant stood behind him and the fellow didn''t dare to utter a word to him. He was afraid that he


    would disturb Ian''s thoughts and that disturbing him would made him fall into deeper destion.


    Perhaps it was that woman who brought Ian into his devastating state.


    "How is everything going with her?" Ian said, breaking the silence.


    The assistant knew who Ian was referring to. "She seemed to be upset with Kevinst night, but she


    still stayed in the nightclub. I also heard that she got into a little trouble and Kevin cut off a certain


    person''s hand, but he stayed with Annest night."


    Ian was almost trembling when he heard Anne''s name.


    Her name was deeply rooted in his heart. Their short rtionship was only a sad twist in Anne''s life,


    but for him, he had put all his energy to love her, expect her to love him back and ept the bitter


    reality that she didn''t belong to him.


    "Mr. Ian, don''t ask anything about Anne anymore. She''s living a good life now," the assistant said with a


    hint of worry in his voice.


    Ian drank up the wine in his goblet before replying. "Okay," he vaguely answered.


    The faint sound of the air conditioning system filled the room for a minute. "There is a problem in


    France. We are preparing to transfer our domestic industries abroad. Are we going back?" the assistant


    asked, breaking the silence between them.


    "Of course," Ian slowly replied.


    He had nothing to do here anymore. If he flew back to France, he could heal himself. Even if he


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    couldn''t manage to forget someone, he would be able to restrain himself from disturbing her because


    of the distance.


    "Okay, I''ll book the air tickets. We are leaving this evening. Is that all right?" his assistant confirmed.


    Ian paused for a while as if he was thinking about something. "Okay, but we keep Daniel Hotel here,"


    he finally answered.


    "Why? It would take a lot of energy to keep only one hotel here." His assistant was confused about his


    words.


    With a soft smile on his face, Ian looked at his assistant. "I want to keep it here so that I would be able


    to know when Anne get married."


    Even if Ian couldn''t marry Anne, he wanted at least to have the chance to see her walk in the aisle


    wearing a wedding dress. When that time came, he was certain that she would be the most beautiful


    bride in his lifetime.
