Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 271

"How could that be possible? Kevin is so aloof. How could he have been like that when he was a child?" Now, there was all this tension between Rose and Kevin. Of course, Rose also knew that in the past, she thought she liked him only because she couldn't have him.

Mark glared at her. Could it be that she still had feelings for Kevin?

At first, he had not cared about how she felt about Kevin. However, now that he had started having feelings for her, it was difficult not to feel jealous.

Moreover, Mark felt a little weird. Here he was, meeting Rose's ex-boyfriend with her. Coincidentally, this was the same man who was now with Anne, the woman whom Mark used to have feelings for.

As he thought of this, he stared at Kevin with hostility.

"He wasn't always this way. When Kevin was a child, he was very open with who he was. In my opinion, he's just better at pretending and hiding his emotions now," Sam gloated.

Kevin's face darkened.

"Sam, you're awfully chatty today," he said, barely moving his lips. he said, barely moving his lips.

He did not seem imposing or threatening in any way. Nevertheless, Sam was startled. He thought that Kevin was insinuating something.

"Just an observation. You're not mad, are you? Look, everyone's having a good time," Sam said, winking. It was a reminder for Kevin to calm down.

But Sam had expected too much of Kevin, and he was doomed to be disappointed.

"Yes, but you don't have to be so happy about it." Kevin flashed him a sinister smile, which made Sam feel suspicious. He had no idea what Kevin was planning.

"Hey, I just remembered. I have something that I need to deal with in the hospital. I have to go now," Sam announced. With that, he stood up, gestured to Emily, and left the East Mountain Villa.

Emily, who was standing next to them, was confused. She didn't know what was going on between the two men. Why did Sam have to leave in such a hurry?

"Why are we leaving so soon? I haven't had a good talk with Anne yet," Emily grumbled.

Now, only four adults and a child remained in the big living room.

"Let's go," Mark said as well. Although he looked indifferent, it was noticeable that he was in a bad mood.

Rose, equally confused, followed Mark out.

Eddy looked around and found that there were even fewer people now. He lowered his head and said, "Mom, Auntie has left."

Anne's eyes grew. How could such a little child know how to address Emily? Did she have a wonder child?

He was only one and a half years old, and he already knew how to call his elders?

Anne and Kevin looked at each other in disbelief. Fortunately, the servant happened to come in and heard what Eddy had said. She smiled. "Wow, the young master has such a good memory! Miss Emily taught him this several times in the past, but I didn't expect him to remember all this until now."

Anne breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Eddy had help. Otherwise, at his age, it would seem quite strange that he knew how to address people correctly.

Still, considering his age, it was incredible that he remembered Emily so clearly even if he had only met her a few times.

As Anne thought about this amazing little boy being her own child, she was overjoyed. She squatted down and held Eddy in her arms. "How smart my baby is!"

Her voice was full of pride and endless praise for her child.

Kevin smiled fondly and took Eddy.

Casually, he told Anne, "Don't praise a child too much. He'll grow up proud. His intelligence is still inferior to mine," he grumbled.

He felt that Eddy had been hogging all of Anne's care and love and that there was nothing that he could do about it.

Eddy leaned against his chest and squirmed, but Kevin held him steady. The little boy looked up at him and accidentally blew a spit bubble, which directly landed on Kevin's snow-white shirt.

Outside the East Mountain Villa

It was deep in the night, and the place had grown quieter.

The cool breeze blew gently. Rose walked out and got in the car.

As soon as she fastened her seatbelt, Mark started the car and stepped on the gas. This was the fastest that Rose had ever seen him go.

"Are you in a hurry?" asked Rose.

She felt a little guilty. She had insisted on bringing Mark here, and as a result, he might have had to put off work.

"No," Mark said indifferently.

This time, it was her turn to be confused.

"Then slow down. Your driving is making me feel a little dizzy," Rose said.

The speed at which he drove made her nervous. Mark didn't say anything, but he slowed down.

About an hour later, they arrived at Rose's residence.

Rose realized then that he must be in a bad mood. The lights on the road were so bright that they almost lit up the inside of the car and brightly illuminated Mark's unhappy face.

He didn't respond at first. After a while, he said, "I'm letting you off here. I'll come and see you tomorrow."
