Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 17

Anne built up the courage to stand up from the sofa. She stared at Kevin and spoke with conviction. "I need to ask you something."

Kevin was startled. His eyes shifted away from Anne for a few seconds before he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why did you have to fight?" Neither too slow nor in a hurry, the tone of her voice was undeviating and full of certainty.

Kevin cleared his throat and stood arrogantly. Despite the fact that he was driven to the corner, he still said confidently, "Private matters."

"Really?" Anne raised her eyebrows. It turned out that she did not really want to know the reason as to why they did it. She changed her posture and said, "I don't care why you did it. There is one thing I need to say in front of you two. I don't need any of you to take care of me!"

She turned her attention to Sam. After hearing her announcement, Sam was taken aback.

"Sam, I can take care of myself. I don't need you to stay by my side every minute of the day." She was quite adamant when she told Sam what she wanted him to do. Her eyes showed vulnerability, but they were definitely convincing.

Then she turned her gaze back to Kevin.

The way she looked at Kevin was intimidating and cold. "I don't need you to take care of me either. Let Emily go back to work. You'd better not show up in front of me!"

"No way!"

"I don't agree to this either!"

Kevin and Sam both refused her proposal. They were totally against her decision.

Anne glared at the two of them for a while and did not answer immediately. After a brief pause, she said, "I don't want to be affected by your squalor. If you want to maintain our current situation, I suggest that the two of you try to get along with each other.

The mood of a pregnant woman directly affects that of the fetus, resulting in the formation of the child's personality. If you don't want my child to be a violent man in the future, then give me some peace and quiet," she said whilst stroking her belly.

Her words resounded so powerful that it made them silent for a few seconds Emily was dumbfounded by what she heard.

Kevin scowled at Sam defiantly and clenched his fists, ready to unleash his anger at a moment's notice.

Sam held back and looked straight into Anne's eyes. He zipped his mouth and did not utter a single word. Even if he didn't say anything, she knew that he finally agreed.

Sam was still furious at Kevin for all he tolerated. He would definitely get his revenge, even if it wasn't today. Even if he didn't do it now, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe even one month or one year later. Sooner or later, he would get his revenge.

"And…" Anne glanced at Kevin and spoke. "Although you're a violent person, you can train your son from an early age. If you don't want him to be like you, you'd better set an example for him from now on!"

Kevin glared at Anne while pointing his finger at her and said, "You!" He felt insulted by what Anne had just said to him.

However, upon thinking about it, what she said made sense to him. He really didn't want his son to be hot-tempered just like him.

In his mind, he hoped that his son would grow as a person of good character, someone who knew how to handle pain and emotions rightly. He wanted him to be way better than he was at the moment.

The thought made his emotions subside. Even so, he did not agree to how Anne articulated those thoughts to him.

But she was pregnant. No matter how affront she was, he had no choice but to tolerate and endure anything she would say.

"Emily, let's go." Anne turned around and asked Emily to leave with her. She went to the door, approached the waiter standing there, and said, "That's the person that broke your dishware, don't let him leave without paying for the damages."

"Yes, Madam," the waiter responded.

Sam acted like he was not one of the culprits and inconspicuously followed Anne outside.

The waiter just stared at him as he followed Anne.

Kevin got angry again when he saw him leave as if he was not partly to blame for the mess. He was really getting into his nerves. He immediately tried to run after Sam.

The waiter blocked his way and said, "Sir, you haven't paid yet."

"Why don't you ask him for it?" Kevin turned his eyes away from the waiter. He found himself enraged while watching Sam get away from the mess that he also made. "Why are you letting him go? He also caused this mess!"

"He's our boss, we can just deduct the damages from his salary." The waiter's behavior was not surprising.

"You..." Kevin furiously slammed a credit card to the ground, and walked away from the waiter.

In the car, Anne leaned her head against the window and slowly closed her eyes. This was an exhausting day for a pregnant woman like her.

"I'm sorry," Sam said in a very sincere tone. At last, he was able to say something.

But it didn't sound convincing to Anne. She furrowed her eyebrows as if she was disturbed in her rest.

Anne loosened her brows, but she was still clearly upset. Her irritation was written all over her face.

Sam just kept silent. He looked away and focused on driving.

Emily felt uneasy. She was not used to this kind of unhandy situation. She thought of breaking the silence but she was afraid that it would just make it more awkward for all of them.

Emily bit her lip. She couldn't stand it anymore. Surprisingly, Anne said calmly, "Ask Emily to apply some medicine on your wounds when you get home."

Hearing this, Emily felt relieved. She almost sang a song because of how happy she felt.

Based on what she heard, she realized that Anne had already forgiven Sam.

She caught a glimpse of Sam. He did not say a word but the corner of his lips were curved into a smile.

The thought that the two had already reconciled made her heart flutter. They had finally let go of their resentments.
