Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 139

The fiery look in Sam's eyes made Anne feel uneasy all over. She averted her eyes awkwardly. Sam's love towards her was getting more obvious.

"Sam, thank you for what you did today."

After a long moment, Anne broke the silence first. The atmosphere between them made her uncomfortable.

"Why do you thank me? I didn't help you with anything."

Sam felt guilty over the thought that he failed to protect Anne and let Kevin take her away.

"No, you have helped me a lot these days. If you were not by my side, I really wouldn't know how to spend these days. You have been accompanying me and comforting me."

Anne was very grateful of the way Sam treated her. He even put aside his work to accompany her to America and look for her child.

"Anne. I just want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always be with you, take care of you, and protect you. I won't let you get hurt again."

The look in Sam's eyes became intense. After what happened last night, he had already figured it out. He wanted to be more than a friend towards Anne. He had already committed himself to protecting her well and being with her all the time.

"Sam, I really appreciate what you have done for me, so I have always considered you as the most important friend in my heart. Do you understand what I mean?"

Anne quickly clarified what she felt for Sam in the nicest way. She already expected what he was about to say next, so she tried to be clear as much as she could to him. She didn't want to lose their friendship by looking forward to something more than that.

Sam had wanted to tell Anne what he truly felt for her. When he heard her words, his face suddenly turned disappointed. He looked at her sadly.

"Anne, do you really just treat me as your friend in your heart? Nothing else?"

Sam's eyes were filled with pain when he looked into Anne's eyes. His tone was soft and gentle, as if he was afraid of frightening her. He had always been so good towards Anne.

Anne didn't know what to do when she saw the anxiety in his eyes. She didn't want to discuss such matter with him. She had always regarded him as her friend, nothing more, nothing less. In her mind, their friendship would just be ruined if they shared some intimacy with it.

"Sam, I will never let our friendship be ruined, so some things are better left unsaid. I hope you understand clearly the relationship between us. Nevertheless, you will always be the most important friend for me,"

Anne said every word with sincerity and lowered her head. She hoped that Sam would understand her.

Sam was broken into pieces at once. He looked at Anne and smiled bitterly. Although he had already thought that he might definitely be rejected by her when he spoke of his love, he still couldn't help but fantasize about her.

He felt so much pain in his heart. He had no choice but to accept the truth. To Anne, he would always be a friend, just a friend.

"Okay, I know what you mean. I was too impulsive today, sorry."

Even if Sam had hoped for his feelings to be reciprocated by Anne and ended up being rejected, he didn't want to lose their friendship. Besides, it was the only thing he could keep with her.

Anne heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing Sam's response. Fortunately, he didn't continue to talk about his feelings, or she wouldn't know how to refuse him.

Sam had helped her a lot, but she couldn't return anything to him, not even reciprocating his love. For a moment, Anne somehow felt guilty.

"Sam, I'm sorry…" Apart from apologizing for rejecting Sam, Anne didn't know what to say anymore.

"You never need to say sorry to me. It's all my own choice. You don't need to feel guilty for what happened today. We will always be friends, right?"

Although his heart was pierced, Sam couldn't afford to blame her. He just hoped for her happiness. In that way, he could be happy at least.

He would not force Anne to love him knowing that she would not be happy in that way.

His words made Anne feel more guilty. She would rather be blamed than to be tolerated by him. The torment in his heart made her feel bad.

"Sam…"

Anne looked at Sam with pity in her eyes. She didn't know how to express her feelings nor comfort him at the moment. She really didn't want to hurt him.

"Well, let's drop this topic. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I'll take you out to eat something."

Sam didn't want to prolong the torment in his heart, so he already initiated to move on to another topic. The guilt in Anne's eyes only made him more sad. He would rather choose to stay the way they were before.

"Okay."

Anne didn't want to talk about it either, so she agreed without any hesitation.

She stood up and walked to the side of Sam.

"Anne, get out!"

Suddenly, there came the furious growl of Kevin, which surprised the two people in the room.

Anne felt a little anxious when she heard Kevin. She didn't want any trouble anymore.
