Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 202

"It doesn't matter if you allow it or not. This is my decision and mine alone. I'm not just going to let someone else raise my child. If you don't agree, I assure you that I'll fight you on this until the end," Anne said solemnly.

She lowered her gaze, arrogant in her demeanor as if she was ready to battle any time.

Meanwhile, Kevin's mind was an utter mess. It seemed that Anne wanted to leave him and take the child with her.

How could he agree? He had worked so hard for so long to achieve this amicable relationship with Anne. He couldn't believe that despite his sincerity in building this relationship, Anne would willingly abandon it.

How cruel! Couldn't she see how much effort he had put in?

"No. I refuse. Anne, don't even think about leaving," Kevin said ruthlessly as he gripped Anne by the wrist.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face stone cold, and his words emotionless.

He felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a sharp knife as the pain seeped inside him.

It was apparent that he held barely any value to Anne if she thought she could just dispose of him like that.

Was it really possible that Anne would still have feelings for him especially after he had found out all the terrible things that Cherry had done? Anne was a cold woman. No matter how much he tried to make up for everything, it was all useless.

"From now on, someone will be watching your every move. If you leave with the child, just wait and see what will happen." As soon as the words left Kevin's mouth, he immediately hated himself.

He couldn't believe he was doing something like this to the woman he loved the most. However, it seemed he had no choice. There was nothing else he could do to keep her by his side. He had to do what he had to even if it meant Anne hating him.

With that, he strode out of the room. The moment he did, Anne fell into a heap on the ground.

The dark purple hue of the carpet served as a sharp contrast to Anne's pale skin. Her wrist was still reddened from when Kevin had grabbed it.

Anne's eyes were bottomless pits of darkness. She dwelled in the emptiness of the room as she felt vulnerable more than ever. She crossed her legs, trying to get some warmth in her body.

"Anne, your life is so pathetic," she muttered to herself, her voice resounding in the heavy silence.

While the floor was chilly, she couldn't seem to feel it.

After a long time had passed, she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. By the time she woke up, it was already nine in the morning.

Relatively, she had woken up a bit later than she normally would. Even then, dark circles had formed under her eyes.

She got up and went to see the child but the child was nowhere to be found.

She figured Kevin must have taken the child to another place so that she wouldn't be able to see the child.

Sneering, she glanced at the timid-looking servants that surrounded her. She grabbed her bag and stalked off.

At the very least, she had no legal relationship with Kevin which meant that he couldn't restrict her freedom.

In the YS Bar.

Loud music boomed across the room as sweaty, wild dancers littered the dance floor.

Anne wore a dark overcoat which she paired with black paints and brogues.

Even from a distance, she immediately stood out from the crowd in the bar.

Save for the glum look on her face, she seemed out of place.

She downed one glass after another as a bitter smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. At times, it almost seemed as if she was sneering in self-mockery.

In just under an hour, there were about a dozen bottles in front of her. Any man or woman would be intoxicated at this amount of alcohol.

It shouldn't come as a surprise then that she attracted a lot of people's attention. In particular, a man wearing an Armani suit couldn't keep his eyes off her.

He gazed at her deeply as he smirked making all the ladies in the bar swoon over him.

He glued his eyes on Anne as his fingers played with the wine glass in his hand.

"Mr. Ian, why don't we go to the private room? This place is packed. I'm afraid they're going to bother you," his assistant suggested, his tone cautious.

Ian Qi smiled as he put down the wine glass and promptly wiped his hands with a piece of tissue.

"No, wait here. I haven't been here in a while, but I found something interesting today." Ian Qi got up and casually made his way towards Anne.

Anne seemed to be a heavy drinker which didn't exactly fit his perception of a good girl.

Mildly irked, he couldn't help but ask himself inwardly, 'Who did this to Anne?'

As he smiled faintly, his assistant felt scared. Based on past experience, this meant that the president was angry.

"Reid, take her to the private room." With that, Ian Qi left.

In the private room, the lights were dimmed.

In Anne's drunkenness, her face flushed.

Ian Qi gawked at Anne and the smile on his face softened.
