Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 132

Kevin couldn't help but feel mildly irked as he watched Anne's receding figure. He had done so many things for her these past few days yet he had barely made any progress.

If his secretary hadn't advised him to take it slow, he wouldn't have hesitated to use force.

After all, the only times he could get her to be obedient before was when he used force.

"Mr. Kevin, I think you're making progress with your relationship with Miss Anne." His secretary glanced at him through the rearview mirror, a hint of excitement flickering in his eyes.

"What made you say that?"

Kevin said coldly, rolling his eyes. Anne wasn't even taking him seriously!

"At least you two didn't fight on your way back..." his secretary muttered, shrinking back in fear under Kevin's sharp gaze.

In the past, Anne and Kevin would be at each other's throats every second they spent together. While it was certainly a stretch to call this progress, it was better than nothing. At the very least, they weren't constantly quarreling anymore.

"Just focus on driving!"

Kevin spat as he looked out the window, visibly annoyed.

Seeing the displeasure on Kevin's face, the secretary shut his mouth and continued to drive in silence.

"Where were you? Why are you coming home so late? I tried calling you but couldn't get through." As soon as Anne arrived home, Sam hurriedly walked towards her, a worried look on his face.

"You called me?"

Perplexed, Anne took out her phone only to find that it had been turned off.

It must have been Kevin. Only he would be capable of doing something so childish.

"What happened? Where were you? You were out for so long," Sam pressed, eyeing her carefully. This time, he noticed that she seemed noticeably pale.

"It's nothing. I just spent some time outside by myself. My phone might have run out of power. That's probably why I didn't receive your calls."

Anne flashed him an awkward smile, purposely omitting Kevin's name.

He could tell that she was embarrassed. It was also obvious that she was lying but he decided not to mention it.

"Have you eaten?"

He changed the topic. Just seeing the look on her face was enough to tell him whom she had really been with the entire time she was out.

"Not yet. I'm going to prepare dinner now." She was a little hungry after being out for so long.

"Why don't we just go out for dinner? You haven't had a proper meal since you arrived here."

Honestly, he just didn't want to eat her unseasoned food anymore.

"I'm going to change my clothes. Wait for me." She then headed upstairs to change her clothes.

About half an hour later, they arrived at a western restaurant. It was a rather romantic restaurant much to Sam's excitement. Meanwhile, Anne just didn't have the heart to refuse. After all, it was just a meal.

He knew perfectly well that she only saw him as a friend. The two of them were very clear about this.

From a distance, Kevin sat in his black Ferrari sports car, a sour look on his face. They had just barely parted ways and she was already having dinner at a romantic restaurant with Sam. What did she take Kevin for anyway?

As he watched her smile and chat happily with Sam inside the restaurant, anger surged inside him. Had she forgotten about him already? How could she act as if nothing had happened between them?

"I heard they have great food here. You should eat more. You've been looking a little thin nowadays."

The two sat across from each other. Seeing her face so ashen and sallow, Sam couldn't help but feel bad for her.

He had foolishly thought that bringing her to America would make her feel better. It seemed that no matter where she was, Kevin still haunted her heart.

"Okay. Thank you, Sam."

Sensing Sam's concern, Anne smiled stiffly at him. She looked out of the window in an attempt to hide her emotions.

Sadness overcame her but she had to pretend to be fine in front of Sam as she didn't want him to worry about her anymore.

"I've already told you that you shouldn't be so polite to me. I thought we were friends."

Her courteousness towards him made him feel quite uncomfortable.

If Kevin couldn't make her happy, he shouldn't add to her suffering anymore.

"It's just that you've helped me so much. I don't know what else to say but to thank you." "

He was the one who was there for her when she was going through the most difficult times of her life. As much as she was moved by his friendship, she couldn't give him what he wanted.

"I did all those things because I wanted to. Don't dwell on it. All I care about is your happiness. You shouldn't stress about it."

For the first time in his life, he felt strongly about protecting someone. Yet even then, he couldn't make her happy. He felt so useless and lost.
