Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 260

The orchard was filled with many fruit-bearing trees. As Anne walked slowly, she came across a patch of large, green watermelons. This made her smile.

She always seemed aloof and detached. Now that she smiled, she looked so charming.

Unknown to her, Kevin had been watching her all this time. Seeing her smile suddenly made him grin as well. It was the right decision to bring Anne there all along.

It was a lovely and warm day. Anne slowly bent down and placed her hands on a big watermelon. Her eyes were bright with amusement.

"That's not yet ripe," Kevin said gently.

Anne looked up at him in disbelief, "How do you know?"

She had been looking at the watermelon and even touched it herself, but he merely looked at the fruit for a couple of seconds. Could his eyes see through the watermelon?

"The farmer had just now checked it. If he didn't pick it, it's probably not yet ripe. But if you don't believe me, you can go ahead and take a look," Kevin explained.

Seeing that Anne's interest was roused, Kevin added, "Let's cut it open and have a look inside then."

In Anne's heart, she didn't believe what Kevin had said. He couldn't be right. Perhaps the farmer just left a mark on the watermelon and he would sell it at a higher price.

She looked away and said, "You can't just cut it open and look. Besides, if the watermelon turned out to be ripe, you would lose. You have to think about what you should do if you're wrong!"

It was rare for Anne to act like a child. With a smirk on his lips, Kevin replied, "If I lose, I'll book the whole orchard and let you cut all of the watermelons you want."

It was even more rare for Kevin to show a childish and arrogant side.

"That's not good. That would ruin a year's worth of the farmers' hard work, wouldn't it?" Anne felt uneasy but Kevin disagreed.

"The farmers work hard to make money and support their families. If I give them enough money to make you happy, then I'd be fulfilling their wishes, too. Do you think they would object?" Kevin asked.

"You're right. Let's try it."

There was a stone table in the pavilion at the edge of the garden. Although simple, the structure was well-maintained and clean.

"Stay here and rest for a while. I just have an order to attend to," the melon farmer said enthusiastically.

He didn't know who they were but it seemed to him that Kevin had a unique temperament and he thought Anne was quiet and elegant. Whoever they were, they were not ordinary people.

"Okay. Go ahead with your work."

As soon as the farmer left, Kevin picked up a knife and cut the watermelon open. As soon as they looked inside, it became apparent that it was ripe. He frowned while Anne's eyes lit up.

"You lost, Kevin. This watermelon is ripe!" Anne excitedly pointed at the fruit and gave Kevin a proud look.

"Yes, I lost," he admitted calmly.

But Anne took a second look at Kevin and couldn't believe how gallant he was being. People like Kevin hated losing at anything.

But the more she thought about it, the happier she felt.

"You don't have to pay to book the whole orchard. If you did, then others wouldn't be able to eat anything. Let's just take a few back," Anne said. But Kevin pretended not to hear what she just said.

The truth was that he was really just pretending to be calm. Seeing Anne act like an innocent child made him very happy. He wanted to tell her that he didn't see any farmer checking on the watermelon at all. He did it just to make her happy.

"I admit defeat," Kevin said seriously.

The short trip to D City soon enough came to an end. After getting her fill of watermelons, Anne planned to head back with Kevin.

He had booked the entire plane for just the two of them.

To Anne's surprise, all of the stewards were female. It was normal for a couple of male stewards to be onboard on a regular flight.

"Would you like some warm water?" Kevin asked.

"No," Anne replied as her eyes scanned the plane trolley for coffee and soda.

Looking at her, Kevin could easily tell what she was thinking.

"Drinking water is good for your health and the baby's," he said as he put an arm around Anne's shoulder.

Hearing this, Anne frowned and knocked away his hand.

"Fine." She then picked up her cup and drank water.

She then realized that being pregnant meant that she couldn't eat nor drink the things she liked for a while. This made Anne feel very sad.

"Good girl, honey." Kevin reached out to pat her head, but this only made her feel uncomfortable.

"Don't call me honey. Just call me Anne," she blurted rudely. She was quite cross.

"They do say that pregnant women easily get thrown into a bad mood. Where do you want to go now, honey? I'll go with you." Kevin's love for Anne was so deep. The only thing he worried about was that he wasn't doing enough to make her feel happy.

"I'm good. Thank you." Anne pushed back her chair and lay down, ready to sleep.
