Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 159

Cherry's true face was exposed. The moment she saw Kevin, she knew the he was the only one who could decide whether she should stay or leave. She started feeling a lot of pain upon gazing ate Kevin's expressionless face.

"Kevin, you know very well that I am not that kind of person. I just got in way over my head. I imagined how I'd always be reminded of my father's death if Anne stays here. I know I shouldn't behave like this and I will definitely try to change in the future."

Cherry's plead didn't earn her the forgiveness of neither Kevin nor Selma. No matter who got involved with Kevin romantically, even if that someone was richer than the Fu Family, in Selma's heart, no woman would ever be more important than her grandson.

"Kevin, please forgive me. I will be good to the baby in the future. Tears started streaming down Cherry's face. Her delicate makeup was all ruined, she looked like a hot mess.

Kevin ignored her crying. He had no love for her at all. He kept her by his side because her mother Wendy saved his life. He never expected Wendy's daughter to be so good at hiding things.

"I refuse to forgive you. You can leave the house now and don't ever come back here again!" Kevin shouted as he took out a card from his pocket.

"Here, have ten million dollars as compensation for the way your mother saved my life. If you will still choose to stay here, don't you dare go around blaming me for accusing you of abusing children!"

After having said that, Kevin wrapped his right arm around Anne's shoulder and led her outside.

On the other hand, although Selma didn't like Anne, Kevin had already asked Cherry to leave and she didn't want the scene to be even more terrible than it was so she just gave Cherry a cold, hard look and left without another word.

Cherry was left alone with the bank card left on the ground inside the warm baby room.

She was still trembling, partly because she was angry and partly because of how Kevin treated her so ruthlessly.

Not long after that, several men came bustling open the door and dragged her outside.

Cherry had never been treated like this before. She shouted loudly, "What do you think you're doing?! Do you not know who I am?"

But the servants who once treated her with respect just continued to drag her outside and one of them wearing a red shirt said, "We're just following our young master's orders. I'm sorry."

Cherry was pulled out of the gate and they locked her out. It was starting to get dark outside. She realized that although the villa was brightly lit all over, there was no place for her.

It was all because of Anne. If it weren't for her, Cherry would have had her happily-ever-after with Kevin like she wanted.

"I swear, I am not giving up just yet, Anne. And Kevin, I have done so much for you. I don't even have parents. And now you say you don't love me anymore. Just you wait. You will see, I won't give up."

Cherry uttered to with conviction even without anyone hearing her. Her face looked ferocious, which was particularly horrible in the night. She walked a few hundred meters, stopped a taxi, and disappeared in the night. No one knew where she had gone.

Meanwhile, everyone else was able to sleep well knowing that Cherry wasn't in the house anymore.

When dawn came, the villa started to get rowdy. The daylight lamp was on, and the eight-treasure lotus leaf porridge prepared on the table was steaming, with its aroma filling up the room.

Selma sat at the table with a long face. Kevin sat just on the opposite side, glanced at her, but didn't say anything.

The two of them were always like this. Whenever there was nothing to do, they would usually have nothing to talk about or say.

After a few moments, Selma decided to break the silence and said, "Kevin, can you do us all a favor and be more careful in finding a woman in the future? Just don't bring anyone home anytime. In my opinion, you'd better get rid of Anne as soon as possible. You know, something bad might happen in the future." Selma hated every woman that came into Kevin's life.

"We just dealt with Cherry. She's out of here now. Anne can stay. Besides, the child needs to be taken care of, and although you might not feel like she is a good person in that heart of yours, none of us can deny how good she is to the child," Kevin said in a calm tone while he laid the napkin on the table.

Selma knew that Kevin wouldn't listen to her, since he rejected her when she asked him to drive Anne away yesterday. She decided to let it be for fear that her relationship with her son would become tenser once she pushed him too much.

"Never mind. It's all up to you then. Just don't let anything bad happen again. I'm gonna leave now." Realizing that she couldn't persuade Kevin, Selma lost her appetite and left, bringing her bag with her.

Kevin was just about to leave after having breakfast but he stopped and went to Anne's room.

He took out his keys from his pocket since he didn't want to disturb Anne nor wake her up.

The moment he opened the door, he saw Anne's angelic face. Anne stretched out her arms to hug the baby, looking so protective of him.

Although she looked soundly asleep, Kevin felt that if he were to make any sound, he would wake her up.

Under the light, he could see the restlessness on her beautiful face. There was also a faint smell of medicine inside the room.

Seeing the gaunt look on her face, Kevin figured that she might have been busy and sleepless from taking care of the baby.

No one knew what Kevin was thinking. He left after staring at her for a while and closed the door gently with a solemn expression on his face.

"Mr. Kevin, do we need to wake Miss Anne up for breakfast?" the nanny asked.

The Fu Family had pretty strict rules, which was why he had developed a habit of waking up early since he was a child. He had never changed that. Even Cherry had to follow the rules or Kevin would be mad.

A satisfied smile appeared on Sam's face and all of a sudden, something had occurred to Anne's mind. She asked Sam, "Do you actually have anything to do with Cherry's leaving?"

Anne remembered that Cherry had mentioned she would do everything to make her leave. So she thought that Cherry would try her best to be good to the baby to impress the people of the Fu Family. She didn't expect that she would hurt the baby instead.

"If I speak up, don't blame me. Okay?" Sam said hesitantly.

The reason he didn't tell Anne before was because he thought that if he did, Anne would be too worried about her child and ruin their plans. But he thought that he could now fill her in on it.

"Well… You are my friend, after all. And I believe that whatever decision you had made was just for my own good. I can understand you," Anne sincerely said.

"The truth of the matter is, I used the baby to make Cherry anxious so that her true colors would be exposed. Cherry really had no love for the child, so I replaced the medicine with a different kind, which was harmless to the body but one that could not make the baby sleep. After an hour, the discomfort will dissipate. Cherry tried to feed the baby in a poor manner so people would see it and think that she couldn't take good care of the baby."

Sam carefully examined Anne's reaction as he spoke in fears that what he would say may cause her to feel unhappy or even blame him. After all, he did use the child.

"And when the baby starts crying, Cherry will sneak out and hit him, right?" Anne asked.

She felt sorry for her baby but she knew that if Cherry didn't leave, it would be really bad for him. If it was her who had been accidentally kicked out, the baby would certainly be suffering more in the future.

"Yeah, I know. I still did it then regardless of how you might feel. That is why I want to apologize to you, Anne," Sam said and looked at the baby's quiet face. He smiled a little but he couldn't help feeling sorry for the baby.

"No, Sam. I don't blame you. If it weren't for you, we would have been tortured by Cherry. Thank you for thinking ahead for me," Anne said while holding Sam's shoulder.

"I'm glad that's how you viewed what I did," Sam replied, with a hint of surprise and relief in his tone.

However, instead of saying anything else, Anne looked at Sam and gave him a comforting smile.

She finally felt at ease, holding her baby. She didn't need to worry anymore about who might take the baby away from her.

"But the baby is indeed injured from what happened yesterday. There are bruises on his body. I've applied baby ointment on him but I'm still pretty worried," Anne said while still looking at her baby with a frown.

"Don't worry. I'm here. Leave it to me."

Sam took the baby from Anne and took him to the room. He did a general check-up on the baby. He examined him thoroughly until he was confident to say that there was nothing wrong. "The baby is fine, but he has suffered a lot. You should apply this new ointment on his bruises everyday so they will heal faster."
