Chapter 553 Extra Story The Journey

Kevin darted out of the AN Group in a hurry as if he had urgent work that required his attention. His
cold eyes scanned the place. A frown lined his forehead; he looked deadly serious. A strand of his
perfectly tamed hair brushed across his eyebrows. His usual calm demeanor was long gone. He got
into his car and drove home.

It was a cold November. A gust of chilly breeze brushed across him as he got out of the car. Kevin
gradually calmed down as he walked inside.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, fearing that the person inside might find out the truth. After
a moment, when he opened his eyes again, the man returned to his usual, arrogant self.

He quickly straightened his shirt, opened the door, and walked in. A pair of fluffy slippers and the
scattered toys on the carpet greeted him.

A little boy was crawling on the floor, playing with the toys. He looked at Kevin with wide eyes before
squealing with joy. Kevin's heart melted at the sight of the baby. An ecstatic smile stretched across his
lips when he saw the little one pouting and crawling toward him.

Kevin quickly picked the baby in his arms and walked into the kitchen as he continued to play with him.
Anne was cooking soup as a beam of sunlight bounced off her face. She was still in loungewear, her
hair tied to a messy bun. The woman looked like a doting wife, married to an ordinary family, busy
cooking for her family.

It was the second year of their marriage. Anne and Kevin were blessed with a baby boy, and they
fondly called him Ted. Their life was filled with nothing but joy. There were no misunderstandings or
bitter feelings that tormented them. Anne was living the life of her dreams.

"Anne?" Kevin called tenderly. He enjoyed coming back home after a busy day at work. The sight of his
wife and son made him feel complete.



"Ah, you're back!" She turned around and took the baby from his arms, smiling gently. "You better take
a shower first. Dinner will be ready soon!"

Kevin smiled and kissed her forehead before going to the bedroom upstairs.

The images of the past flashed in his mind. He regretted the times he had taunted and disappointed
Anne.

The woman had felt helpless countless times in the past. He felt guilty that he had ignored his son
because of the other woman. The memories of the past reminded him how wrong he had been. He
almost made a big mistake trusting the other woman while torturing his own wife.

Just thinking about it made his heart race. He held his chest, trying not to think about it. Now looking
back, although he couldn't believe that he had been that stupid and ignorant, the images in his head
assured him that they had happened in real life. It reminded him to love and care for Anne even more
in the future.

He squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head, trying to shake off the bad memories. Kevin chuckled.
He had become more childish and laid back after spending his time with Anne and his son.

"Anne, why don't we go on a trip with our son? Pick a destination of your choice. We can go anywhere
you want," he said.

"That's great!" Anne clapped her hands excitedly. "But what about your work? You have been busy
lately!" The smile on her face faded in an instant. She put down her chopsticks and pretended as if
nothing had happened.

"Work is not as important as you and my son are," Kevin muttered.



"Well, it's settled then. Pack your things; we'll leave tomorrow." He frowned, thinking about the several
trips he couldn't go to in the past for various reasons.

"Where shall we go?" Anne was in no mood to eat now. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she
looked at Kevin.

They had limited time, and she had to keep an eye on her son at all times. Therefore, Anne decided to
opt for a nearby destination. After thinking for a while, she finally said, "Emily said that X Country is a
nice place. It is only a couple of hours away from here by flight. Moreover, the pleasing climate and the
beautiful scenery will be good for the baby as well. What do you think?"

"Whatever you like, Anne." Kevin smiled and stroked her hair, trying to ignore the complicated feelings
in his head. That evening, Anne was packing their bags in the bedroom.

The child was sound asleep in his crib.

Kevin was in his study, sorting all his tasks for the next few days. Anne's heart fluttered with joy.

"All right, this red coat for Ted. This pair of parent outfit. Oh, I shouldn't forget socks, sunhat, baby
cream, toys, and the rubber nipple for Ted,"

she muttered to herself, tossing one item after the other into the suitcase. Anne loved arranging
everything for her family and didn't want to miss anything.

The next day, they took the nanny along with them to take care of their son. It was a smooth journey.
Anne placed her son on the chair as soon as they arrived at the hotel.

When she opened the bedroom door, she saw Kevin changing clothes with his back facing her. His
muscles flexed with every movement.



Anne's mouth watered at the sight of his chiseled body; her heart took a sprint in her chest. However,
seeing that Kevin was about to turn around, she quickly closed the door. The man was going to take a
shower. However, Anne had closed the door without noticing the mirror on the wall opposite the door.
Kevin had been watching her reaction. He was ecstatic to see the lust in her beautiful eyes, for his trick
had worked.

Anne leaned against the wall and pretended to look at the house, trying to control her raging hormones.
A minute later, she finally walked out as her excitement simmered down a little.

There was a small courtyard around the living room on the first floor, surrounded by green plants.
Green stones and mosses were paved on the pathway.

The small swimming pool on the far end of the courtyard sparkled under the sunlight. There was a cozy
sun lounger beside it to bask in the warmth of the sun. A big swing hanging on the tree in the corner
completed the look of the place. Anne sent their exclusive butler away and sat on the swing.

Kevin dried his hair and walked up to her. Anne's heart took a sprint at the sight of his handsome face.
She looked away, trying to control the passion building up inside her.

Her stomach flipped with every step Kevin took toward her. She saw his toned legs from the corner of
her eye.

He had just walked out after taking a shower wrapped in a white towel. Droplets of water covered his
body. Anne raked her gaze upward, taking in every inch of his abs, strong chest, wide shoulders,
slender neck, and finally she met his magnetic eyes. The man was staring at her with his eyes burning
with desire.

By the time Anne came to her senses, Kevin was already beside her. Their faces were inches apart.
Her heart skipped a beat as she stared into his eyes. The man had the power to stir all the emotions
within her. She felt as if she was seeing him for the first time.



Kevin trailed his fingers across her cheeks, brushing past her lips, nose, and smoothed her eyebrows.

Before she could react, he leaned closer and pressed his lips against hers. The swing dangled under
their weight.

Her eyes widened as the intensity of the kiss surprised her.

Kevin was like a hungry wolf, fulfilling his desire. A moment later, he picked Anne in his arms and
walked into the bedroom, kicking the door shut.

Anne stared at the door with her mouth hanging open in shock. A subtle blush painted her cheeks as
she realized what was about to happen. She buried her face against the crook of Kevin's neck, inhaling
his manly scent. Their bodies united that night, enveloped in a wave of pleasure.

The next morning, the sun entered through the gap of the curtain. Anne stirred on the bed and slowly
opened her eyes to look at Kevin. The man was in deep sleep; he didn't seem as frightening as he was
during the day. She felt he was closer to her as she saw a side of him that others couldn't see, the
warm and gentle side. Anne nestled closer as a smile crept onto her face. She felt happier than ever.

"Have you finished admiring me?"

Kevin muttered in a raspy voice as Anne was immersed in the beauty of her handsome husband.
'Anne, wake up! You have been married for two years. Stop staring at the man as if you are seeing him
for the first time!' she reminded herself as she got up quickly.

"I'll go and see the baby. You sleep a little longer." Anne muttered and tied her hair into a bun before
slipping on her clothes.

Kevin rested his hand behind his back and watched Anne. The marks on her body reminded him of the
wild night. He shut his eyes as the dress concealed her naked body.



Anne looked back. The messy hair and the stubble on his jaw made her mouth water.

Her insides flipped as a wave of desire engulfed her again. She finally summoned the strength to look
away from him and walked into the bathroom. Her body was sore and exhausted after what happened
last night. She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face before walking out. Her eyes widened in
surprise when she saw Emily walking in the yard with a baby stroller. Ted's eyes dazzled as he looked
around the new place with excitement. The boy looked adorable.

"Emily, when did you come?"

"I came here as soon as I finished my work." Emily smiled.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Are you missing anyone?" Anne teased.

"Do you like this place? Are you happy with the arrangements?" Emily averted her gaze and changed
the topic without answering her question.

"Yes. Ted also likes it. Am I right, my little boy?" Anne looked at her son, grinning. She understood that
Emily didn't want to answer her, so she chose not to ask further questions.

Seeing his mother, Ted reached out to hug her. Anne picked the boy in her arms and walked into the
room. "You arrange the schedule today. We have decided to enjoy this holiday so we will be lazing
around mostly. We can relax together."

"Okay, Anne. I will go to check if the breakfast is ready first." Emily smiled and followed her.

"Well, let me check if Kevin has gotten up or not."

Anne returned to the bedroom and saw that Kevin was still sleeping. She grinned and placed the baby
on the bed. Ted was excited to be in a new place. He kicked his legs and jumped on his father playfully.



Seeing that Kevin was still sleeping, the boy pinched his nose and chuckled as if it was the most
enjoyable game in the world. Ted started laughing harder as his father scrunched his nose up and
turned around. Anne's heart melted at the sight of her husband and son.

Kevin finally opened his eyes and saw Ted playing with his hair. He stole a glance at Anne and realized
that the woman had no intention of helping him. She was walking around the place, pretending to take
something as she continued to let her son play.

Kevin sat up and placed Ted on his lap. He gently unclasped the boy's fingers and pulled his hair away
from the tight grip. Ted's innocent eyes made him happy. He hugged the boy tighter and kissed the tip
of his nose.

Anne opened up the curtains, letting the sunshine flood in. A contented smile stretched across her lips
as she saw the father and son cuddle and play with each other.
