Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 179

"I'm fine," Anne said with a half-hearted smile. It was rare for Kevin to look and sound so thoughtful, which made her wonder if everything that happened was real.

In one swift movement, he picked her up in his arms and headed upstairs to her bedroom.

"Put me down! I'm fine. I can walk by myself," she insisted.

"Don't worry. I've got you. Besides, we're indoors. What are you so worried about?" Kevin said confidently.

His overbearingness made her a bit displeased. However, she couldn't deny that the way he was caring for her made her feel nice. It was as they were finally able to be together harmoniously like two normal people.

"I..." she stammered, wanting to protest further. But the words were just caught in her throat. Just like that, she was helplessly whisked away. Kevin effortless opened the bedroom door while she was still in his arms. Then, he gently laid her down on the bed.

"I'm going to bed. Good night."

After saying that, Anne buried herself under the soft blanket and closed her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Kevin had grown some affinity towards her aloofness. In fact, he was starting to think that it was kind of lovely and cute.

Bending down, he brushed the hair on her face and kissed her lightly on her forehead. Right after, he turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

As soon as the door closed with a click, Anne opened her eyes. There was a faint smile on her lips that she didn't even notice was there.

Meanwhile, Kevin returned to his own room. Instead of going straight to bed, he turned on his computer and continued to write the draft. Glancing at the time, he saw that it was almost ten o'clock. This draft needed to be ready for Ms. Sophia by tomorrow. Without any more delay, he went straight to work.

The story he wrote was about everything that happened between him and Anne. There were a lot horrible things that happened, filled with bizarre twists and turns. Although it seemed unbelievable, this was what really happened in their lives.

At last, Kevin was done writing. It was already four o'clock in the morning. A sense of fulfillment washed over him. Breathing a sigh of relief, he stood up and went to lie down on his bed, not bothering to change his clothes or get under the covers.

Later that morning, Anne woke up rather early. This was usually the case when she had a nice, deep sleep. Even though it was only six o'clock in the morning, it was already very bright in Paris.

Outside, the sun had only begun to rise. The sky was a lovely wash of pinks and oranges, almost as if it was made out of sweet cotton candy.

With a stretch and a yawn, Anne got out of bed and went to get a glass of water. Inevitably, she passed by Kevin's bedroom. The door had been left open, and she saw him sprawled onto the bed, quietly snoring.

Usually, he woke up first before she did. Since he always had a lot of things to do, he always had a fixed time for sleeping. But now, it seemed like he had tired himself too much last night.

Tiptoeing, Anne walked in and gently put a blanket on him. She carefully looked at him to check if he would wake up. To her surprise, she saw the dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing that his computer was still on, she realized that he must have been up all night finishing the draft he was going to give to Sophia.

At this moment, Kevin woke up and grunted groggily. "Why are you up so early?" he said with a tired groan. He thought that it was still early.

"Well, unlike you, I went to bed early yesterday," she said, a playful smile on her lips. "You should get some more rest."

Seeing how tired he was, she couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for him.

Reaching out, he lightly stroked her hair. The smile on his face was so peaceful, as if he was currently living his best possible life.

"By the way, are you done with the draft you planned on giving Sophia? I can sent it to her for you," Anne offered.

Since it was the two of them together, she figured that they should at least be helping each other out.

But Kevin immediately sat up and looked at her sternly. "No, it's your first time to Paris. You're not familiar with this place. If you want to go out, I'll go with you. Don't think about going out there on your own."

It was easy to take advantage of tourists, especially if they were women. There was no way he was willing to risk Anne's safety just so that she could do him a favor. It would be a lot more worrisome if she suddenly got lost or taken by some stranger.

"Okay, but you still need to catch up on some sleep. What time is your meeting with Ms. Sophia?" "Two o'clock later this afternoon.

Don't worry. Her address is actually pretty close from our hotel. How about we go out for some breakfast first then I'll just go rest a bit when we come back? Just help wake me up by noon, okay?" Kevin said.

"Yeah, sure. Actually, maybe I can go out and buy the food myself. It shouldn't be hard to find some place to buy food nearby. What do you want to eat? I'll bring it for you." Just when she was about to go out of his room to get ready, he quickly called out to her,

"Wait. We should just go out. I've been around this place a number of times. There are a lot of food that I think you'd like. We don't have much time to stay here anyway, so this might be the only chance you can have a taste of what Paris cuisine has to offer." Rubbing the sleep off his eyes, he went out of bed and put on his shoes. "After this deal with Ms. Sophia, we'll have to leave soon," he added. "There's also some business in Denmark that needs to be attended to."

The bright and sunny day Anne saw from her window had suddenly turned a bit gloomy. However, with so much beauty in the streets of Paris, it was impossible not to feel relaxed no matter what the weather was.

As she and Kevin walked side by side, they passed by a local pastry shop. Through the glass walls, passersby could see all of the freshly baked goods. Tarts topped with fresh raspberries, chocolate covered croissants, cinnamon rolls that came straight out of the oven, and many more delicious treats.

"The cream puffs here are very delicious, different from that at home. You should try it," Kevin said as he noticed Anne's eyes glisten with interest.

There was a long, elegant flower carved on the cream puff. It smelled even better than it looked, but the taste of the soft pastry and smooth filling was the real star of the show.

They also ordered two different slices of cake before heading out into the streets once more.

After stopping by two more local stores, they then went back to the hotel.
