Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 248

Kevin heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that his words got through her.

He swallowed thickly as he spoke again. "Anne, I need to go now."

"Why are you leaving again?" she asked.

Even though she felt so wronged, she couldn't bring herself to hate him. There was no certainty that he sincerely loved her. Sadly, a heart would want what it wanted no matter how painful it was.

What hurt the most was that even if she tried to stop him from leaving, it would be in vain.

"There are still some matters that I have to deal with," he answered.

"Are you going back to her?" Even though it was hard, she held back her anger.

"Just trust me, okay?"

He invaded her personal space as he wrapped his arms around her gently. It was sweet but she couldn’t find it in her to return his gesture.

Kevin left afterward and she was once again alone with her dejected self. The empty look that accompanied her pale face emphasized how miserable she was.

Honestly, everything was so unfair to her. It was as if God would give her an ounce of happiness only to take it away just as fast. She’d been through this oftentimes that she wasn’t sure if she was willing to bear this thing again.

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She stood up as she wore something presentable. She should just see what he was doing herself.

"Miss Anne, where are you going?" the servant asked when she saw the lady open the door.

"I'll be out for a bit, but I'll be back. Don't worry." In the blink of an eye, the darkness swallowed her retreating body.

KY was filled with various influential people.

Maybe it was because of the upcoming valentine's day that the place was filled with a lot of couples. There were businessmen, celebrities, and even politicians at sight. Despite the variety, the constant thing was the women beside them were all happy.

All of them looked beautiful and stunning that she couldn't help but feel small.

Her wandering mind stopped when she caught sight of a familiar figure.

"Sure enough, he's here," she murmured under her breath.

Should she praise herself for being clever or hate herself for doing something that only made her sadder?

Kevin and Rose looked so good together.

Opposite of what other people perceived them to be, Rose was not happy. She was tall yet Kevin managed to hover above her as if she was a bird under his mercy.

Anne chose a place to observe everything.

The seat that she chose was hidden but close enough to hear the conversation between Kevin and Rose.

"It's meaningless to stay in here anymore. The dress doesn't even fit me. Let's just go to another shop." Rose’s voice was laced with regret as she saw how that elegant dress doesn’t fit her at all.

"They have a lot of nice dress here. It was my fault. I'm sorry for choosing the wrong size for you." It was strange for Anne to see how gentle Kevin was acting towards another woman.

So, the reason why he left home just like that was so that he could take Rose out?

Truth be told, Kevin was getting hard to predict as time went by. First of all, he was the type of man who prioritized his wants. If he didn’t like you, he would never try to be polite and tell it to your face.

It scared her how desperate she must have looked right now. It wasn't that she couldn’t live without him by her side. Anne could get by without any man but that didn't mean she had no right to be upset. What she hated the most were those men who never took love seriously.

The only interpretation that she had for Kevin’s action was that he was trampling on her feelings for him.

Soon after, the light dimmed out and was replaced by a spotlight. They began to cheer in delight.

As the Valentine's Day was coming, the people paid special attention to the couple who was soon to get married.

"Good evening, Mr. Kevin. Did you come here to have your fiancee try the wedding dresses? Can you tell us something about your wedding preparation?" a reporter came up to him and bombarded him with questions.

Kevin hated it whenever someone tried to pry on his private affairs but this time, he smiled at them.

"I'm sorry but we can't tell you anything about our plans. However, you are very much welcome to attend the ceremony. There would be a lot of surprises that would blow you minds," he answered eloquently.

That eye smile of him seemed to mock Anne.

In no time, the people began to flock around him. That was just the kind of man he was. Wherever he was, he could get everyone's attention. As she saw him try his best to accommodate everyone, Anne could only sneer as she turned on her heels to leave the premises.

Others might have seen him as someone to look up to. But for her, he was just Kevin, the only man who could scar her heart over and over.

"Let's call a day, shall we? Let's just enjoy the night." He walked towards Rose and led her inside the shop.

On the other hand, anxiousness overwhelmed Rose's heart. What happened today would surely hit the headlines tomorrow. She could only imagine Mark's reaction once he saw that.

Kevin kept glancing at the woman by his side as they walked. It was obvious that she was worried about something. He didn't have to be a genius to realize that she was thinking about Mark.

"You look pale. Are you okay?" His voice pulled her out from her train of thought.

"Yes, I'm fine," she answered immediately. She should start to be aware because the last thing that she wanted to happen was for him to figure out her thoughts.

"I read somewhere that the woman tends to get anxious whenever the wedding gets near. Didn't your mom mention that last time?" Kevin asked as he feigned a thoughtful demeanor. One would think that he cared for his girlfriend deeply.
