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 playing with her. "Relax! 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 glance at his phone.

It was Rose again.

As she saw Rose's name flash 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 explain everything but Anne interrupted him. "Let's talk
about it later. 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
you come 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 porcelain plates 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 calculating.

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 flashed 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 relaxed 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 occurred 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-in-law like you." Kevin tried to
maintain his composure. 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 play 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 relationship 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 place. 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 a large 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 place feel like home.

Warm and comfort 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 desolate, 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 desolation.

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 Kevin last 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 Anne last night."

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

Her name was deeply rooted in his heart. Their short relationship 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 accept 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
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.
