Renewal Of Love

Chapter 158 Dealing With Two Horrible Women

"How can you talk to auntie like that?" Cherry quickly ran up to the sofa and held on to Selma's arm.

Anne did not want to waste her breath anymore--not for these two, horrible women. All the fear she had

for them before had gone. She had to be brave if she wanted to protect her child.

With a scoff, she went back into her room, leaving Selma trembling with anger.

"What a vicious woman! There's no way I can accept someone like her into my family! I'll find a mother

for the baby, and I'm sure Kevin won't object," Selma sneered angrily.

It was nine o'clock in the evening when Kevin finally came back from work. The villa was quiet, with

only a few lonely street lights lighting up the desolate, wide road.

With a sigh, he turned off the engine and silently sat inside the car. His hands held onto the steering

wheel as he closed his eyes.

He distanced himself from Anne deliberately. The way she had been treating him had been hurting his All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

self-esteem. As much as he tried to close the distance between them, she had done nothing but push

him away ruthlessly.

"Mr. Kevin, why don't you come in?" The servant saw Kevin's car park outside and decided to check on

him.

"I'll go inside soon," Kevin said indifferently.

Sighing heavily, he stepped out of the car and walked into the villa. To his surprise, it was very empty

and quiet. Anne and Cherry were nowhere in sight--even Selma wasn't there.

The only one who was there was the nanny cleaning up the living room. As soon as she saw Kevin

enter, she stopped her work and bowed her head. "Mr. Kevin, Mrs. Selma wants to talk to you."

The nanny pointed at the study. Without a word, Kevin walked straight in. As soon as he opened the

door, he saw the angry look on Selma's face.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why'd you ask me to come talk to you here in the study?" Kevin said unhappily.

"Is there a problem with that? Remember that you've done a lot of ridiculous things yourself. I haven't

taken those things against you for your own sake. Now that I want to talk to you in private, you're trying

to take it against me?" There was a sadness in Selma's tone. She and Kevin hadn't really been on the

same side lately.

"I didn't mean that. Just tell me what you need to say. If it's nothing serious, I'll go to bed now if you

don't mind," he said tiredly.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point."

Clasping her hands, Selma walked over to Kevin. Even though she was over two feet away from him,

he couldn't help but take a subconscious step back. During his childhood, he was not that close at all

with his mother, and this reflected on how he treated her in present day.

It was something that Selma had been used to, and so she didn't mind at all.

"I want Anne out of the house." Her tone was the one she used whenever she told her son to do

something. It had always worked in the past without fail.

However, Kevin simply shook his head. "No, mom. That's none of your business."

The way he disagreed with her was like a slap right across her face. Even so, she was determined to

make Anne leave.

"I am your mother. You have no right to say no to me!" she shouted as she pointed a finger at him.

"If you want Cherry to leave, I'll be fine with it."

"You were so good to Cherry before," Selma said, surprised at his indifference towards her. "Have you

forgotten how her mother saved your life? Anne suddenly comes barging in and suddenly you don't

treat Cherry as well as before."

With this reasoning, Kevin couldn't help but feel disappointed. His mother thought that everything could

be easily be labeled with a price and exchanged like some item.

"Mom, don't you remember that Anne also saved me?" After saying these words, Kevin walked to the

door and made his leave.

As soon as his hand was on the knob, Selma's sharp voice called out at him. "So what? Have you

forgotten that Anne has already obtained ten percent of the shares of the Fu Family's business? Is this

not enough? Don't forget what kind of person that woman is."

However, Kevin did not bother to turn around. "It's none of your business," he then said coldly.

With that, he opened the door and walked out. Taking a deep sigh, Selma sat back on the chair

dejectedly, all of her energy drained from her body.

Meanwhile, Cherry was in her bedroom, sitting in front of her large vanity mirror. Her room was very

elegant. Even though she was currently living in someone else's home, she always maintained a

comfortable lifestyle.

Inside her wardrobe hung rows and rows of handmade, designer clothes. Placed below those were all

of her high-heeled shoes, all from very expensive brands. She adoringly looked at herself in the mirror.

She would always keep her beautiful and youthful appearance for as long as possible. For her, her

beauty was a power she could wield like a weapon.

Just when she was about to remove her makeup and apply moisturizer on her face, there was a slight

knock on her door.

"Who is it? It's already late," Cherry said angrily.

Despite being disturbed, she stood up with a grunt and went to open the door. She was still in the Fu

Family's house, after all. Upon opening the door, she saw the nanny who was in charge of taking care

of the baby.

"Miss, the baby is crying. It seems that you forgot to give him his medicine today." Knowing that Cherry

was angry, the nanny was rather timid and sheepish.

"Can't you handle such a small problem yourself? I'm tired already." As she patted her face, her red

nails glistened under the soft light.

When she had fought with Anne today, she realized that Anne was different than before. The Anne now

was a lot more invulnerable and fearless.

Since Kevin had been paying so much attention to Anne, Cherry felt that her problems were now piling

up in front of her. Even Selma, who used to dote on her, scolded her.

When she was still living with the Ye Clan, she had never been treated like this.

"The baby has already been fed, miss. But it takes two people to give him the medicine. We need to

take good care of the baby. Plus, Mrs. Selma is in such a bad mood today. It would not be good if she

suddenly wakes up from the baby's crying."

Of course, upsetting Selma was the last thing Cherry wanted to happen. With a grunt, she stepped out

of her room. "Okay, let's go." Reluctantly as she was, she still went over to the baby's room. 'On the

other hand, at least Selma's already asleep,' Cherry thought. 'No one will be monitoring me while I'm

with that little devil.'

In the baby's room, the soft light shone on the baby. The smile on the baby's face was so sweet and

innocent. However, Cherry couldn't help but feel disgusted the more she looked at it.

"Come here, baby. Time for your medicine," Cherry said lightly.

Under the care of the two people, the baby quickly drank up the medicine. At first, Cherry wanted to go

back to her room at once, but when she saw the cute look of the baby, she became angrier. 'All my

misfortune has been caused by this little brat!'

"You can leave now. I'll lull the baby to sleep."

After the nanny went out, she closed the door. When the two were alone, the baby began to cry again.

His soft voice could not get Cherry's sympathy. In fact, it made her more and more irritable.

Cruelty filled her eyes as she stared down at the crying child.

"Cry, cry, cry all day long. You always bully me at such a young age. Do you think you can push me

around like that? Let me tell you, I can't deal with your mother now, but I can assure you that I will

definitely get rid of her soon. Go ahead and cry! See what good that will do to you!" Without mercy, she

kept pulling the baby by his arms and legs, occasionally pinching his thin skin.

Because of the sharp pain, the baby cried more and more loudly.

It got to a point that the baby was wailing at the top of his lungs. The noise made Cherry a bit worried.

However, the nanny did say that Selma was already asleep. She reassured herself that middle-aged

people like Selma wouldn't hear this much noise. What was more, the baby room was soundproofed.

"Little thing. If it was not because you are still useful to me, I would have killed you by now."

Just as she had done before, Cherry put her hand on the baby's neck. It was something she wanted to

do for quite some time now. After suppressing all her emotions, she was finally able to let out her anger

on the defenseless child. She had already calculated how long she could do this before she ended up

killing the baby. As the baby choked and gagged, the smile on her face grew wider.

This was Anne's baby. The more he suffered, the happier she became.

The sweet smile was frightening, especially since the baby face was already turning pale blue. It was

as if she was a viper mercilessly wrapping around its prey.

However, at this moment, the door suddenly opened.

"Stop! You bitch! What are you doing?" Upon opening the door, Selma immediately saw how Cherry

was strangling the baby with one hand and pinching him with the other hand.

Selma couldn't believe her eyes. She wanted to hit Cherry there and then, strangle her as much as she

had strangled the pitiful child.

"Baby, oh no! Shhh... you're safe now," Selma crooned as she grabbed the child from Cherry arms.

Hearing the commotion outside, Anne immediately went out to have a look.

When she arrived at the door, Anne saw the panic on Cherry's face. Cherry smiled awkwardly, "Auntie,

why are you up? I thought you already went to bed."

Selma sneered, "Thank god I didn't yet! If I had, no one would have known how badly you've

mistreated my grandson! You are a really good actress, Cherry. I trusted you! Get out of here now!"

She screamed her head off at Cherry. By now, Anne figured out what had happened. Although it was a

victory for her that Cherry had finally been exposed, it still didn't take away from the fact that the baby

had been hurt.

"Please give him to me," Anne said. "Please. Let me take care of my son. And Cherry, I'll settle

accounts with you later."

Even though Selma didn't like Anne that much yet, she at least believed her more. It was now as clear

as day that Cherry had been framing Anne all this time.

By now, Cherry was at a state of panic. "Auntie, please listen to me," she said, slowly regaining her

composure. "Let me just explain to you what happened."

But everything happened so suddenly. As much as she tried to rake her mind for an excuse, she

couldn't think of a way to save herself.

Before she knew it, a crisp slap hit across her face. Immediately, five red nail marks appeared on her

face. In just a few seconds, her entire cheek swelled up.

"I can't believe you're still trying to defend yourself! I'll have you know that I'm never going to let Kevin

near such a scheming, cruel and merciless woman like you! Get out! Now!"

The veins at the side of Selma's head pulsed with anger. Even though Cherry was not yet willing to

accept defeat, she knew better than to confront Selma head on.

All the shouting made Kevin come out of his bedroom as well.

"What happened?" he asked indifferently.

When he saw the distressed expression on Anne's face, his heart suddenly went soft. "What's wrong?

What happened with the baby?"

It was easy to tell that something was wrong with the baby from his tear-stained face, and he had never

seen Anne so distressed.

"Now that you are here, you can make your decision. If this woman is still here, I will take the child

away and take care of him myself!" Selma said coldly.
