Charlotte stood in front of him, her face pale.
"Why didn't Savannah go to Italy with you?" She sounded quite annoyed.
"You should know why," Kevin looked at her with a chilling smile, "Savannah has found her mother, and she wants to spend more time with her mother. Is that why you came to me today?"
"Do something and take her away, or she'll get a chance to meet Dylan again! Aren't you afraid they might rekindle their relationship? Only when you go to Italy with her will your relationship become more stable!" Charlotte looked at him anxiously.
Kevin, however, knew what she was worried about. Charlotte was afraid that the relationship between Savannah and her stepmother would become better and better, and she would have a lower status in the Rowe family.
"I'm sorry, Miss Rowe. This is Savannah's decision, and I cannot interfere. How can I stop a daughter who wants to be with her mother?" Kevin sneered and turned to leave.
"I know you can! Savannah trusts you, and if you can do something, you'll get her to go back to Italy with you soon!" Charlotte stopped him hurriedly.
"Miss Rowe, you overestimate me," Kevin replied impatiently.
"Didn't you arrange your car accident very well? I know you damaged your brake and deliberately planted the blame on Dylan so that Savannah felt sorry for you and promised to be your girlfriend, and she was willing to go back to Italy with you as soon as possible... You did a good job last time. Only one more step and Savannah will go with you! Can't you think of another way?" Charlotte followed in his footsteps. She didn't realize that Kevin's face was even darker.
"Shut up!" Kevin snapped.
Charlotte realized that she had hit on the right thing.
"You've been so cruel to yourself," she said, "to make Savannah hate Dylan and win her love, you risked your own life. Good! I should learn from you. Your plan works well, and you amaze me by that, "
"That's enough! I don't want to mention that again, and I don't want to see you again. Go!" Kevin let out a low snarl.
Charlotte hammered every word into his heart, leaving him ashamed.
In order to take Savannah away as soon as possible, he did the most shameful thing for the first time in his life.
Charlotte, biting her teeth, grunted and left.
Kevin stood there for a long time to react to the upset in his mind. When he turned around, he froze in his stance.
Savannah, standing meters away by a sycamore tree, was gazing upon him, round-eyed.
He had no idea when she came. But the complexity and shock on her face proved that she had heard all that he had just said to Charlotte.
"Savannah!" Kevin was so surprised that he forgot his broken leg and stumbled forward.
Savannah, however, took two steps back as if she saw the devil.
She looked at him in a way she had never had before as if he was a stranger she had met on the first day.
"Savannah…" An awful pain mounted in Kevin's c.h.e.s.t.
"Was Charlotte telling the truth?" Savannah asked stupidly, and the pain was clearly written on her face.
Kevin gritted his teeth and nodded slowly.
"Why…" Savannah's eyes turned slightly red, "Why would you do that? How did you become like this?"
Unexpectedly, what Dylan said that night was true. Kevin made an accident himself.
Even though she knew Kevin did it for her, she still couldn't accept it. Kevin, who was always gentle and kind, would do such a thing.
Kevin didn't know how to explain. In fact, there was nothing to explain because he did it, and she accused Dylan wrongly.
He deliberately called Dylan to JK and asked him to meet at his car; then he broke the brake himself and made a car accident in front of Savannah after that. Later, Savannah believed that Dylan wanted to kill him, so she cut off the relationship with Dylan completely. She even agreed to be his girlfriend and pushed that man to divorce her.
"You said you would never lie to me." Savannah bit her lip and turned away.
"Sorry, Savannah…" Kevin felt bitter anguish as if he had lost something precious. Regardless of his leg, he shook off his cane and rushed to hold Savannah's hand.
But she quickly pulled her hand away from him!
"Sorry, I think we should reconsider our relationship." Savannah stiffened herself, keeping her eyes down.
"What do you mean? You... don't want to be with me?" Kevin froze.
"You cheated me with your own life… I wonder what else you could do… Sorry, Kevin, I don't want to see you now." Savannah's voice grew cold. With that, she turned away resolutely.
Kevin stood absently for a while. He felt he'd been stabbed in the heart!
His leg hurt suddenly, and he fell to the ground.
"Are you okay, Sir? Can I help you?" A passer-by asked kindly, but the handsome man kneeling on the ground gave no reply.
Kevin was breathing hard, and with his last strength, he waved his hand and shook to the neighbor.
In the distance, Savannah let out a low cry when she looked out of the taxi window and saw Kevin fall.
There was a moment that she almost rushed out of the car to help him up, but finally, she restrained!
I'm sorry. Kevin.
She was shocked and angry when she overheard the conversation and learned that the accident was made on his own.
In order to take her back to Italy, he even risked his life to trap Dylan. For the first time, she found that she had never really known him. Loneliness filled her heart, and tears slip down from her eyes.
She knew Kevin did that all because he loved her. But... Maybe this was a good chance.
She could use it as an excuse to keep a distance from Kevin for a while. In this way, she could deal with the Rowe family without additional worries.
