Renewal Of Love

Chapter 69 Isolated 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 explanation 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 explain 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 welcome me here, I will never come 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 were coming

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 being comforted by Cherry. She just glared at Anne when she sat down.

"Auntie, please wait for me here. I'll take them out now." After saying that, Cherry proudly glared 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 had completely 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 unwelcome."

Kevin frowned after hearing her mother's rants. His dark eyes flared 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 minutes later, 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 glanced at the indifferent look on Anne's face, and a hint of coldness flashed 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 welcome

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 or later. After the baby is born, I will hold a wedding for

the both of you as soon as possible."

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

Selma.

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

was only on the surface. In fact, deep inside, she was feeling more isolated 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 relationship with Kevin later. 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 plate with a smile.

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

She glanced 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 a laugh.

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

uncomfortable 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 playing. Did

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

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. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

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