"You know that I've lost my memory before." Karen Daly, who was still in a daze, did not know that Kevin Kyle had misunderstood her meaning. Hence, she gave a silly retort.
"Karen Daly!" Kevin's face was livid as he exclaimed her name, and his voice became colder. His tone was nearly as cold as ice.
There was only an amber lamp lighting up in the room. Underneath the lamp was a warm light which gave out a warm atmosphere. However, Kevin's cold demeanor made Karen feel as if the temperature around her had reduced by several degrees in a split second!
This made Karen tremble in fear and she was alerted from her sleep in an instant.
Karen blinked her eyes and looked up at the man who had a gloomy look on his face. She was confused and asked, "Kevin, what's wrong?"
How could she have the audacity to ask him what's wrong?
Couldn't she tell that he was angry with her?
Kevin looked at Karen coldly, and his dissatisfaction with this woman was growing stronger. If it wasn't for how much he loved her, he would have already thrown her out of the window.
"What do you mean by this? Why are you just looking at me and not speaking?" Kevin was a considerate man most of the time but occasionally, Karen could not fathom the source of his tantrums.
Did she really not understand what he meant?
Kevin was so frustrated that he didn't say a word.
Looking at Kevin, who was so cold and silent, Karen shook her head helplessly and said, "Kevin, you refused to speak now. So, are you're giving me the silent treatment?"
Silent treatment?
He wanted to crush her to death.
So that she would not praise other men in front of him.
No matter what Karen said, the cold and aloof Director Kevin had kept a straight face and stared at her without saying a word.
They had lived together for more than ten years so Karen knew this man very well. He was cold and temperamental. She knew that he must be very angry at her.
But she didn't know why!
Karen thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that he must be blaming her for siding with their daughter against him.
Yes, that should be it.
From that moment onward, he began to behave abnormally.
After thinking it through, Karen felt much more relaxed. She smiled gently at him and said, "Director Kevin, you are already an adult. Why would you throw a tantrum because of something our child did?"
What did she mean by this?
He was throwing a tantrum because of what she did! Not the child.
This woman was usually very smart, but why was she being so silly right now.
Kevin glared at her but remained silent.
Karen sighed, lay on his chest, and traced circles on his chest with her finger. "You obviously don't want our daughter to suffer, so why do you want to make things difficult for her then?"
She thought that if she put this matter on her daughter, he would be able to forget about what had happened tonight?
She should not even think about it!
Kevin grabbed her hand that was tracing on his chest and pushed her out of his arms, to show that he was still angry with her.
Karen was rendered speechless.
This man! He actually pushed her away!
Did he think that he could hug her as he wished and push her away when he did not want to?
Although this was the truth, he shouldn't go too far!
