Renewal Of Love
Chapter 390 Reconciled

Cherry was a popular female star, but she got a lot more attention after she had been involved in the scandal. For a moment then, her reputation was extremely bad.

She didn't expect that the agency would be so angry at her and blame her for what happened.

Everything was too overwhelming for her, so as soon as she got out of the police station after being detained for a day, she gritted her teeth and reached out to her phone. She immediately called Anne.

On the other side, Anne looked at her phone and saw Cherry's contact number flash on the screen. She considered calling Kevin's attention at first, but when she glanced at him, she saw that he was busy with work. She then just went on answering the phone without hesitation.

"Damn you, you bitch! It's all your fault. You're the one who had thrown me into this mess!"

Anne rubbed her ears and frowned as Cherry started shouting at her on the phone, then she responded, "We discussed the plan and you agreed to it. You are the main reason why it failed. So why are you blaming me?"

Anne did great in her part of the plan, so the failure of their strategy had nothing to do with her.

Cherry certainly knew this. But now, her image had become extremely bad and her reputation declined greatly. She was now the former top female star who instantly became a joke and was hated by everyone. She was in crisis and all her efforts were on the verge of a downfall. How could she not be angry? How could she not be anxious?

"Anne, you should know that I haven't made the recording public yet. In that case, I'm not the only one who will be loathed by people, but also you!" she shouted angrily, gnashing her teeth.

Anne frowned as she took a deep breath. Trying her best to maintain her composure, she said softly with a hint of an angry tone, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made a deal with you, Cherry. Now I have to take responsibility for what I have done."

On the other side, Cherry widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "How can you say that? Don't you want to be with Kim?"

Anne gritted her teeth at the mention of Kim and hung up the phone immediately.

Kevin turned his head with a faint smile on his face. Anne did not try to hide from him while she was on the phone call this time, which seemed like she was trying to improve her relationship with him. He lowered his head with cold eyes, determined to replace Kim.

Then, all of a sudden, he came up with something. He frowned and immediately called his assistant.

"What's up, Mr. Kevin? It's late," his assistant said on the phone, his voice sounding a little groggy as though he had already been falling asleep when only that phone call woke him up.

But Kevin, being the boss that he was, obviously didn't care about this. He just continued with their conversation and said, "I want you to look for the best private detective and ask him to investigate the head of AS Group. If there's anything unusual, inform me immediately!"

He still had no idea what that man's name was, but it seemed that he still continued living by the name "Ryan."

More than that, he was constantly in contact with Kim, so he thought perhaps that he was the only way to get to him.

"Yes, sir!" the assistant agreed at once.

Anne smiled as she looked at Kevin. She picked up a coat and put it on his shoulder as he turned around and smiled back. Now the two of them were treating each other like they did before. However, deep inside, they knew of course that everything was different.

At that same time, Sam, who had been wandering outside the door for a long time, finally decided to enter their house. He saw that the hall was empty and then sighed. Emily had most likely fallen asleep at that time.

He hadn't returned to the hospital since the afternoon. Instead, he had been hanging around their house. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered the courage to go in.

He sat on the sofa, let out a heavy sigh, and poured himself a glass of water. As he was drinking it, he was thinking about how he had never felt so alone even when he had lived here by himself before. But now when he had returned to their house, he felt it.

"Ha-ha..." Shaking his head, he laughed at himself sarcastically. There was no doubt that he and Emily loved each other, yet they still had come to this point. What could he do to make their relationship recover?

There might still be a glimmer of chance for them to turn their relationship around. Sam really didn't want to make the final decision to have a divorce without a try!

"You are back!" Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind.

His body stiffened instantly when he heard it. He didn't turn around but he knew at once that it was Emily.

The only reason why he wandered outside for a long time before he went in, was because he didn't know how to face her. But now, he had to. She was there and this was his chance to finally confront things with her. He sighed deeply in his heart and slowly turned around.

He immediately saw that Emily's eyes were red and swollen, full of grievance, as though she had been crying all day. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Indeed, recently, there had been a lot of conflicts between them, but she was the woman he vowed to take care of for the rest of his life, so it was only natural for him to feel uncomfortable whenever he saw her like this.

He stood up and walked slowly towards her, sighing helplessly. Her body stiffened a little when she saw him approaching. As soon as he got close to her, he ran his fingers under her eyes and said, "How long have you been crying, my dear? Why are your eyes swollen like this? Oh, Emily, you are such a silly girl."

Her tears flowed out again as she heard his voice. She threw herself immediately into his arms. His body stiffened slightly as he embraced her, realizing that it was actually the first act of intimacy that they had ever since they got married.

"Sam, I know I was wrong. I know that. But please don't be so cold to me. I will no longer make a big deal out of a petty thing from now on. I know you liked Anne and you can like her as much as you want, as long as you still remember me. Can you do that for me, please?" Emily begged.

Pride? That was nothing for her. She didn't care about it at all now. At that moment, she just knew that she couldn't hold on to it any longer. She loved him more than she loved herself, and love was more important than pride.

She promised herself that she would bear anything as long as she wouldn't lose him. She was even willing to accept that he was still in love with Anne. As long as she was his wife, that was good enough for her.

He felt helpless when he heard her words. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, then he looked at her and said in a serious tone, "Emily, if you can do all these, then why can't you believe me?" She was a little stunned when she heard him say that. She stared at him with a puzzled look on her face as he continued, "I married you because I love you, Emily, not because of anything else. The past is past. Anne and I are now just friends, and I no longer have feelings for her. You are my wife, and therefore the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. You're the one that I love. Okay?"

Surprised, she looked at him with her eyes wide open and her cheeks blushing. Sam rubbed her forehead and said, "Since you love me enough to not care whether I love another woman or not, then why don't you just trust me?"

If a person loved someone deeply, that person should be able to trust the one they loved, right?

Emily held him tightly as she shook her head, and told him, "I believe you, Sam. I really believe you!"

Hearing this, Sam felt helpless. He hugged her and whispered in her ear, "I'm really afraid that you might just agree to what I say even though deep inside, you don't really believe it. Whenever I explained it to you, you responded just like this, but you never trusted me. Emily, you really make me helpless and confused!

It's true that I liked her before. But you can't think that I still love her just because we still talk as friends!

What happened this afternoon was really just a coincidence. I'm a man, so when I see that a woman is about to fall to the ground, I should help her, shouldn't I? That was just what I was doing that time, and it just so happened that you saw it. But Anne and I are just friends, and that's it. Nothing more!"

Emily smiled dejectedly and nodded. Of course she knew it. After all, they were outside the lab at that time, so nothing intimate could really be done in that place. She was so angry when she saw them together that she just went out of her mind and stopped thinking rationally. She was too driven by her emotions at that moment, but after that, she thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed impossible for them to flirt with each other in that situation.

Now, her heart was filled with nothing but satisfaction as she listened to his explanation.

"I not only scolded Anne today, but also slapped her. Is she going to be angry with me? How should I apologize to her?" She lowered her head and let out a complicated expression, feeling guilty for the way she reacted to things.

He was right. She loved him so much that she could even accept that he might be in love with another woman. So why shouldn't she just trust him?

She promised herself that from then on, she would trust Sam and believe everything that he would explain to her.

When she calmed down and analyzed what had happened earlier today, she felt a little guilty.

With a gentle smile, Sam gave her a peck on her blushing cheek and said in a soft voice, "How about we visit her tomorrow and talk to her in person? Anne is not mean, so I believe she will forgive us."

He kissed her as soon as he said this, and she just nodded in a daze. He lowered his body and held her in his arms all of a sudden, to which she exclaimed in surprise.

It was the middle of the night and the two of them were staring at each other affectionately. Emily could easily imagine what would happen next.

Before they got married, they didn't have the chance to make love. After they got married, they had been a bit cold with each other, which was why they didn't get to make love either. So now...

Sam carried her into his arms and walked into their bedroom like a newly-wed couple, and then Emily nervously closed her eyes as he gently laid her onto the bed. Slowly, he chuckled seductively as he turned off the light.

Meanwhile on the other side, Anne was walking on the roof top of the building, frowning slightly as she saw the bright lights from afar.

She sighed heavily. In the dead of night, her heart particularly ached.

She knew that the more she liked something before, the more she hated it now. It was all Kim's doing!

All of a sudden, she felt a warmth on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Kevin looking at her. He brushed her hair with his fingers and said, "I know you just want to enjoy the beautiful night scenery, but it's a little cold. You should take care of your body."

She giggled and nodded at the same time. She wrapped her robe tighter around her body, tied it, then looked at Kevin and said with a soft voice, "Are you really okay with how the things turned out?"

He instantly knew that she was definitely talking about Cherry, so he frowned and shook his head.

"When I had dinner with her that time, she told me frankly that she didn't accept the fact that she lost to you and wanted to get back together with me. Now that her name is ruined by the scandal, I really don't know what she will do." He was telling the truth.

Cherry was so insidious and cunning that she could do anything if she wanted, and that was what worried him the most.

When he turned around, he saw that Anne was thinking about something, her eyes looking down. He immediately said, "Even if you didn't make a deal with her, she would still replace other opportunities to get close to me. You don't need to take it to heart."

She squinted her eyes and smiled at him, then she said in a cold voice, "Although my mind is in a bit of a mess right now, I'm still Anne. Something in my bones won't change. For example, if someone hurts me, I'll hurt him or her harder. No one can trample on me at will!"

Kevin stared at her, stunned at her determination. Yes, she was Anne, and she was supposed to be strong and stubborn. Even if something had changed, her nature was still like this! So what would she say next?

"I won't let Kim get away with what he has done to me. Kevin, I know you also hate him, so why don't we work together and send him where he deserves to be? What do you think?" Kim not only imprisoned Anne, but also did many unimaginably evil things, especially when he killed Ryan. Based on these facts, the only place where he deserved to go was prison!
