Renewal Of Love
Chapter 5 Taking Care Of The Mistress
After she had been splashed by Kevin, Anne was now standing in front of Cherry with her clothes still dripping.
Kevin's presence loomed over her from behind. Wearing a neat shirt and a pair of casual pants, he had his arms folded in what looked like enjoyment for seeing her embarrassed.
"Why are you all wet?" Cherry's tone was a mixture of surprise and concern. "Quick, go and change your clothes."
The worry and nervousness in her voice made her look like a kind older sister taking care of her sibling.
But Anne knew that she was just pretending.
Cherry's eyes were telling a different story. They didn't care to hide the joy and victory she must have felt.
"I'm here to apologize to you. Then I'll go change my clothes." Although she could see through Cherry's hypocrisy and disguise, Anne kept her expression impassive. She didn't want to expose her.
No matter what she said, there were always people ready to believe in Cherry's deceptions.
"I said it wasn't your fault. Why are you apologizing?" Cherry moved her gaze to Kevin, a hint of false accusation in her voice. "You overreacted. It's really nothing to do with Anne. You worry too much about me. People get sick sometimes. How can it be Anne's fault?"
It seemed that she was blaming Kevin instead.
However, in Anne's eyes, this was just her way of showing affection.
All this time, she had been immune to their feelings being displayed openly. No matter how disgusting it was, it wasn't something she hadn't heard of before. She had seen way more repulsive performances.
What she was observing now couldn't affect her in any way.
"I shouldn't have let you wait for the driver in the rain and get wet. It's all my fault. Cherry..." She took an almost imperceptible breath, gathering all her strength. "Please, forgive me." As though someone had just punched her in her stomach, it pained her to utter those words.
She even felt the taste of blood making its way up her throat.
And Cherry seemed to be feeding off Anne's distress. "Please don't say that," she voiced, curling the corners of her mouth in a complacent smirk.
"How am I supposed to forgive you if you didn't do anything wrong? It's all…" In an attempt to show the sincerity of her concern, Cherry sat up and started to get out of bed to hold Anne's hand.
Growing indignant, Kevin rushed forward and pushed Cherry back on the bed. His words came hurried and slightly anxious. "You're still sick. Why would you get up?" With a glare in Anne's direction, he then added, "She deserves it."
Cherry stared at him with a reproachful expression, pretending to blame him.
Kevin knew better than to make her angry, so he quickly pressed his lips to hers.
While Cherry returned the kiss, a contented smile blossomed on her face.
