Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 165

Garret despised Cherry. She might have had a smart look, but she was pretty reckless. Why would she think that Kevin would still accept her after what she had done?

This was his way of bargaining things with her. He knew that Kevin would not want her back, and the rumors she started would never die down.

Kevin and Cherry met at a sophisticated-looking coffee shop. It had these huge French windows and the furniture was well-made. The calm atmosphere added elegance to the establishment.

The man sat expressionlessly across the woman who had the opposite of what he felt. She was giddy because it was the first time in a while that Kevin had initiated to meet her.

"Are you here to take me home?" she asked expectantly as she held his hand.

He frowned and pulled his hand away from her grasp.

"Please, behave yourself," he said coldly.

Her smile faltered and her finger started to twist the tablecloth underneath.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked

The look on Cherry's face showed that she was surprised and was offended by his actions.

"Do you think I wouldn't find out that you planned everything out with Garret?" Kevin said in serious manner. "Honestly, I didn't expect you to be this stupid. Still, I'll show you mercy just for the sake of your mother who saved me. Stop it or else, you can't blame me for the things I'll do in the future," added Kevin, confronting Cherry.

The woman snickered at him. "What's so good about Anne? Why could she manage to change your mind in a snap? What did she do that made you drive me out of your life that easily?"

Tears fell from her eyes. She didn't mind her surroundings and started to look all pitiful as she wallowed.

Kevin rolled his eyes because he was well aware that this was Cherry's way to appeal to his emotion. He could bear that before, but now that he found out about her true nature, he could only feel disgust.

"You were kicked out not because of Anne but because of your wrongdoings. You even abused a child! Haven't you realized that it's your fault along?" he asked in disbelief.

"Why do I experience these things? The only mistake I did was that I was too soft for Anne. I know why you decided to meet me but I won't help you unless you make it into the public that you want to marry me!"

she said without hesitation. She had been waiting for too long and she refused to wait any longer.

The atmosphere was enveloped with awkwardness as the man kept mum at her rumbling.

"I think you should give me an answer, Kevin," Cherry summoned up her courage and asked.

"Aren't you asking for too much? You must be thinking that I am not capable of doing anything to you," he sneered angrily.

"You have to wake up, Kevin! Anne doesn't love you. She's after your money. What you're doing will be useless!" she yelled sarcastically, desperate to persuade Kevin.

When she saw how he clenched his fist, she knew that she succeeded in infuriating him. But she felt bad in heart.

What she said hit the nail on the head.

Her chest heaved violently. She thought that she had won their argument. Even if Kevin wouldn't reciprocate her feelings, she believed that no one could do better than her. However, she didn't expect that Anne got in between and won his heart. How could she not hate her?

Without saying anything, he stood up and left the cafe.

"Just wait and see, Kevin. You're the one who forced me to do this," she whispered as the man trailed his way out.

In the dead of night, a few people stayed at the VIP ward in the hospital. What happened outside could be clearly observed.

The opened curtain of the room made the light outside shine in. The emitted cold light looked even bleaker.

It was a lonely night, to be exact.

Inside the hospital room, the baby continued to sleep. It seemed like he felt his mother's company and he slept peacefully. He smacked his lips from time to time like he was snickering or savoring the smell of the milk powder that was given to him.

His mother stayed with him all this time, unwilling to leave him even for a second.

The moment she couldn't hold on any longer, her eyes fluttered close and she drifted off to sleep.

When Kevin arrived at the hospital, he saw her sleep so peacefully after the tiring day. His heart softened at the scene. Without further ado, he opened the documents that Daniel had sent him silently.

The information was all about Garret. He finally realized why the man set him up. The small company that spread the rumor was established by him. The company only had dozens of employees and had no achievement. They did nothing but slander their competitors.

"Got any news?"

Kevin was startled at the sudden voice but he kept his composure. Even without looking at it, Anne knew that he was reading about the recent news.

"It's none of your business. I'll handle this properly," said Kevin coldly.
