Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 124

Kevin frowned when he saw that Cherry was walking towards him, but he quickly concealed his disappointment.

"Kevin, let's talk. I don't want to be scared anymore," she mumbled and sat across the attractive man after she glanced at his calm demeanor.

"What is it that you want to talk about?" He already knew where this conversation was going but he still wanted to hear it from her.

"I overheard your phone call just now," she said as she looked at him with disappointed eyes. Sadness started to spread across her already pale features.

"And?" he asked impatiently.

His answer disheartened the woman. The lack of response and explanation broke her heart.

She squeezed her hands that were on her thigh and stared into his eyes again.

"Are you really willing to give up the relationship that we have? We've been together for so long and I have always loved you with all my heart. Do you really have to hurt me this way?"

she lamented as she gazed deeply into his eyes.

"Just… forget about this, Cherry. Even if the two of us break up, I will still treat you like a friend."

Kevin had already made up his mind. He was determined to take Anne back. Still, guilt made its way into his heart. After all, he owed the woman in front of him.

"Don't you remember the promise you made with my mom when she died? You swore that you would take good care of me, but look at you now. You're doing the complete opposite!"

Tears fell from her eyes and trailed down her porcelain skin. She couldn't hide her pained expression after she mentioned her late mother.

He looked at the woman with sympathy. The torment in her eyes fueled his guilt further. Her mother saved his life, and that was why he promised her that he would take good care of Cherry in exchange. At that time, he thought that his heart would only beat for Cherry, but now, he couldn't control his heart anymore.

"I'm grateful that your mother saved me, but…" he trailed off on his words. He hesitated to finish his words because he knew that it would hurt her even more.

"Please, don't do this Kevin. You've been my everything since my mother died. What am I going to do now that you're about to leave me too?"

Hope quickly overwhelmed her heart as her little act succeeded to draw a painful reaction from him. He was a man that was attached to his promises. He hated breaking oaths. He wouldn't bend his principles just for Anne, would he?

"Cherry, I will still treat you like a sister in the future. If you have any difficulties or you need anything, I will help. I could even buy a villa for you if you want. You don't have to worry about your life."

He had to make it clear no matter how much he pitied the woman in front of him.

He refused to hesitate anymore. He had been indecisive for a long time, and that was not him.

"Do you think I need any of that? I didn't choose you because of your money nor your house. Don't insult the relationship that I have with you. It's funny because you are my everything yet I have no place in your heart at all."

Tears streamed down her face as she looked at him pleadingly.

His heart trembled again. He had something to do with her mother's death. She died because she saved him. That was why he had always doted on Cherry. It was all because of his guilt.

"You know that no one can control me, right?"

No one could change his decision, neither his past nor the woman in front of him. Since he wanted Anne back, nothing could prevent him from doing so.

The woman clenched her fists and tried her best to get ahold of her emotions. She hated the fact that even after she mentioned her mother's death, he remained unaffected.

She pondered about every possible way that could keep him by her side.

"You haven't fully recovered yet," he said, changing the topic. "I've asked the butler to prepare some healthy food for you. Go back to your room and rest for now. I have something to deal with at the company. I should go ahead."

Kevin dismissed the conversation and stood up. He left without even throwing a glance at her direction.

A strong hatred surged within her heart after he left without hesitation. Her eyes turned cold, and her heart turned even colder.

"Anne, even though you're already gone, you still haunt my life. Now he wants to break up with me because of you. Well, too bad. I'll never let you come back, nor will I let you take him away from me."

Her words were full of hatred and wickedness. Vicious confidence overwhelmed her. She already managed to break the two of them apart once, and it wouldn't be hard for her to do it again.

After the confrontation, Kevin arrived at his office of the Fu Group.

"Mr. Kevin, the plane is waiting for you on the rooftop." The secretary bowed after he spoke.

"Okay! Let's go," he replied lightly, and headed straight to the top floor.

He turned his phone off because he didn't want to be disturbed. He was excited to fly to America, so that he could find that little woman.

"How has she been doing in America these days? Is she in a relationship with Sam?"

The thought that another man had been with Anne all this time made him uncomfortable. Now he realized that it was a wrong decision to ask Sam just to take care of Anne back then.
