Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 22

Anne looked back at Emily and smiled gently. "It's not easy for me to find something I like. Don't you want me to be happy?"

Emily pursed her lips. Her eyes showed a hint of worry. "I'm just worried about you. What if something happens to you?" she said, trying her best to sound calm.

Anne wore a white dress. When she sat on the swing, the hemline of her dress fell just above her knees, revealing her fair white thighs.

The household slippers she was wearing revealed her bony feet when she slightly swung herself.

Her long hair swirled in the wind exuding a faint fragrance.

Anne looked up and smiled as she felt the tender sunlight on her face. At this moment, she felt freedom. She thought that she could definitely live a blissful life without Kevin at her sight.

Kevin stood in front of the courtyard. The servant was about to call Anne but Kevin stopped her. From the point where he stood, he could see the side of her face, her genuine smile, and her unparalleled beauty. He was enticed to move towards her.

She had always been beautiful but he never appreciated it until now.

Cherry was stunned when she saw Anne. Instead of seeing a lonely and sickly pregnant woman, they found a happy and cheerful woman. She was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly, but there was nowhere to vent her frustrations to.

When she turned around to look for comfort, she saw Kevin's eyes fixated on Anne, and there was a trace of admiration in his eyes.

She gritted her teeth. No, she would never allow Kevin to look at anyone but her like that.

"Anne, it seems like you're having a good time!" said Cherry, walking towards Anne in a noble and elegant manner.

When Anne heard Cherry's voice, her shoulders trembled slightly, and her smile fleeted away. She stopped, but didn't turn around.

Because she knew that Cherry was not alone.

"You're pregnant. It's better not to play with such dangerous things. Come down now! That's dangerous!"

Cherry reached out her hand to help Anne get down. When she looked at Cherry, she was frightened when she saw a deceptive smile written on her face.

She hurriedly got off the swing, but she almost stumbled to the ground because of her slippers.

Fortunately, Emily stepped forward just in time to catch Anne. Thankfully, an accident was prevented from happening.

But when Kevin saw this, he was furious.

"Anne, are you okay?"

Regret could be seen in Emily's eyes. In her mind, something like that wouldn't have happened if she had just declined Anne's request.

She was doomed in Kevin's presence.

"I'm fine." Anne stood still and looked at Kevin's deep eyes. Anger and disdain could be felt in his gaze. In a snap, Anne's heart was beating like a drum.

Why did he look at her like this every time he showed up? He had always hated her. What was the point of coming to see her?

"Anne, who let you sit on it? How could you do such a dangerous thing?"

Sure enough, his heart was filled with anger when he looked at Anne. He covered his face with his hand and gritted his teeth.

This pregnant woman didn't know how to be careful.

Standing up straight, Anne looked away from Kevin. She turned around with a cold shoulder, ready to walk back to the room.

She would feel better if she ignored him. However, her silence made the situation even worse.

Kevin got riled up when she saw Anne heading towards the room. He ran after her to grab her arm and said, "Can't you hear me talking to you?"

Kevin sounded so angry that it made Emily tremble in fear. Now with Sam not being there, if Kevin became uncontrollable, there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Anne scowled when she felt the pain in her arm. Kevin must have grabbed it firmly.

"You're hurting me."

She raised her head and looked at Kevin coldly.

"Humph!" Kevin snorted. He tightened his grip even more and said, "So what if I'm hurting you? You don't really care, do you?"

'I don't really care? How could Kevin say those words?' Anne felt her heart getting heavier.

"Kevin, how can you do that?" When Cherry saw how rude Kevin was to Anne, she couldn't resist laughing deep inside, but she had to play innocent this time.

It took her a lot of effort to take Kevin's hands off Anne's arm. After that, she saw that Anne's wrist had turned red.

The corners of her mouth curled into a smile as she proudly raised an eyebrow.

But she immediately hid her enthusiasm with the pretense of concern and distress.
