Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 173

Anne already checked on every room to look for her baby. She went to her child's room, the balcony, the living room, and even to Kevin's room, but she still couldn't find him.

When she heard the sound of running water in the kitchen, she thought that the nanny was there.

"Maybe the nanny saw that I didn't come out, so she took the baby to the kitchen," she murmured to herself and let out a sigh of relief.

However, when she arrived at the kitchen, she didn't see the baby. The only one who was in the kitchen was the nanny.

"Where is the baby?" Anne asked with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

At this time, she had caught the nanny's attention. When the nanny saw her, she was a little surprised. "The baby was taken away by Mr. Kevin. Didn't he tell you?"

The nanny was flustered when she knew that Anne didn't know where her baby was. She thought that Kevin had already told her about taking the baby with him so she felt just fine with it.

"No. Wait a minute. I'll call him." Anne felt the urge to confront Kevin through a phone call to ask why he took the baby away.

"You don't have to call me. I'm back." Just when she was about to dial his number, a familiar voice was heard in the kitchen. She immediately turned around when she recognized that it was Kevin who just came. However, to her surprise, there was no baby in his arms.

"Kevin, where have you taken the baby? Why didn't you tell me about it?" she frowned and asked in a reproachful tone.

"His grandmother just misses him, so I took him away with me. I will let him stay there for a few days and fetch him after." Kevin smiled lightly trying to calm Anne down.

But, his words only made her more worried.

"Then, you should have discussed it with me. As the mother of the baby, don't I have the right to know where my baby is going?" She vented all her anger on Kevin. He was a bit stunned to hear her like this. She sounded so much worried that she couldn't help but feel irritated.

"I'm sorry, but the baby will be fine. My mom likes him so much." Kevin patted her shoulder and comforted her.

However, Anne seemed not in the mood to appreciate his comfort. She turned her body away from him and he missed her shoulder when he was about to pat on it again.

"Okay, I'm going to bed," she said shortly and averted her eyes coldly. She just wanted to go back and have a rest.

All of a sudden, the nanny spoke. "But the dinner is almost ready."

"No, thanks. I'm not hungry. I'll be fine after a rest." After saying that, Anne quickly went back to her room.

"Don't mind her." Kevin turned his eyes to the nanny and spoke indifferently.

The nanny thought that he was angry with how Anne treated him earlier, but in fact, he was not. He had a plan up his sleeve and he knew that she would feel sick if she flew by air. He noticed it when he traveled with her by plane last time.

He took out a small bottle of perfume from his pocket. It was purple with many patterns carved on the delicate glass lid. He bought it for her.

At first, he hesitated to open the door of her room. After a moment, he went straight in without knocking at the door. Anne shouted in surprise, "Kevin, can you knock the door before you come in?"

She was obviously upset, especially now that she was disturbed when she was about to fall asleep. It made her feel worse.

If this happened before, Kevin would surely get angry towards her. He didn't like his efforts to be wasted. He thought that she was too stubborn for him to love. But it was different now, he was patient and he loved her even more every time he saw her pissed-off-look.

She was like a kitten that showed its teeth and waved its claws, but he preferred her like this. He admired her truthfulness in being herself.

"It seems that you can't sleep well," Kevin said calmly. He really had completely changed his attitude towards her.

But she was so irritated and just rolled her eyes at him.

Of course she couldn't sleep well. How could she have a good sleep after being disturbed by him just now? She seldom slept well when he was around.

She was secretly cursing him in her heart. Suddenly, she saw him take out a small bottle from his pocket and sprayed it into her room. She smelled a pleasant fragrance in the room, which made her calm down a little.

"What's this?" Anne asked curiously.

"It's a perfume that helps you have a good sleep," Kevin said and smiled gently.

Anne couldn't believe that there was such kind of perfume that put one's mind at ease.

Suspicion was traced all over her face. Kevin just smiled and put the perfume on the headboard. "You must try it, but don't sleep like a log."

He smirked at her, which made her startled. After that, he went out and she quickly closed the door. She went back on her bed and was about to sleep with the quilt in her arms.

The fragrance of the perfume was truly pleasant. Anne felt much more relaxed and fell asleep unconsciously.

She was sleeping until about ten o'clock at night. When she woke up, her eyes widened.

She was surrounded by neat and clean seats, and French windows. The beautiful starry night could be clearly seen outside.

What surprised her more was when she found herself in Kevin's arms.

She tried to escape his arms but he didn't let her go.

"Why did you bring me here?" She raised her eyebrows and gave him an unfriendly look.
