Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 118

Cherry felt his edginess, and her eyes glistened with tears.

"Kevin, you said we would have the wedding after the baby was born. When is it really going to happen?"

Until she was the lady of the Fu Family, she wouldn't be ill at ease.

"Let's talk about it next time. I still have so many things to deal with. A lot of things are going on at work and I don't really have the energy right now."

He couldn't help but feel less than enthused at the thought of marrying Cherry.

In the past, he couldn't wait to marry her as long as Anne gave birth to the baby but now he felt as if he wanted to escape.

She clenched her fists as she gazed at Kevin, fuming.

She knew very well what his lackluster response meant. If he really wanted to marry her, he wouldn't have come up with so many excuses.

"Kevin..." she whimpered, purposely appealing to his pity. He hated seeing her like this and she was going to use that to her advantage.

All she needed to do was act upset as whenever she did this, Kevin promised her anything she wanted. To her, this plan was fool-proof. She tried convincing herself that he was only acting this way because he felt guilty about Anne.

However, it seemed that she had overestimated her position in Kevin's heart. He only grew more irritable instead of coaxing her.

Normally, he would coo her and ask her what he could do to make her happy.

"Why don't you leave and go to bed early?" Kevin said indifferently as he walked into the bathroom without even looking at her.

There was no doubt in Cherry's mind that Kevin was becoming more apathetic towards her.

Things couldn't go on like this. If he continued to delay the marriage, they might end up not being able to get married at all. Did that mean that all her hard work would be put to waste?

The door of the bathroom closed as the sound of water running came. Reluctantly, she left the room.

She knew him very well which meant that she knew better than to provoke him. If she pushed him further, he would certainly cancel the marriage altogether.

After giving it more thought, she decided she was going to start with Selma. Selma liked her very much and was, in fact, very excited about her joining the Fu Family.

At the airport.

Anne stood at the gate of the airport, looking out in the distance rather hesitantly. She couldn't believe she was finally leaving this place. Perhaps this would be the last time that she was going to be here if she could find her child.

This place had left her heart broken and riddled with bad memories. Even then, she was, to some extent, reluctant to leave. Could it be a person that she did not want to leave behind?

As Kevin's handsome face appeared in her mind, a bitter smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Even though he was cruel to her, he was, on occasion, sweet and gentle towards her. For some reason, she couldn't make herself forget him. She cursed herself inwardly for her foolishness.

"Anne. It's getting late. We're boarding now," Sam reminded her in a low voice as he walked up to her. Up until then, he was silent.

"Okay, let's go." When Anne came to her senses, she trudged forward with her suitcase.

At that moment, nothing was more important to her than looking for her child.

The child was all she cared about. She didn't care what it would cost her or how long it would take as long as she could find him.

Not long after, the plane took off. Just like that, this city would be nothing more than a distant memory. She smiled faintly, bittersweet memories surging in her mind. Leaving this city would be a new beginning for her.

"Do you regret it, Anne?" Sam asked hesitantly as he eyed Anne's seemingly composed demeanor.

Knowing full well that her child wasn't really in America, he felt guilty. If Anne found out he was lying to her, would she hate him?

"I don't," Anne said firmly. Now more than ever, she knew what her priorities were.

The solemnity of her tone told Sam just how important this child really was to her.

"Would you hate me if you found out one day that I lied to you?" Sam asked nervously as he bore his gaze into her. He had a serious look on his face.

She returned his gaze, looking flummoxed. For some reason, he was acting strange that day. He had never asked her such a thing before.

Besides, she trusted him, so she believed that he would never lie to her.

"No, I won't. You've helped me a lot. Even if you lied to me, I would still thank you."

She had seen how well Sam had taken care of her these days. She didn't have it in her heart to hate such a good friend like Sam.

He felt guilty upon hearing her answer without hesitation. She trusted him but that didn't stop him from lying to her.
