Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 287

"If I hadn't come back, would you have kept yourself busy until eleven o'clock tonight?" Kevin said, looking disappointed but only feeling concerned for her deep inside.

Anne felt guilty at first. On second thought, she had asked the maid about the timetable he made for her, and there was no schedule arranged at around 7 p.m. based on it, so she thought she did nothing wrong.

When she realized this, she straightened up and said, "First of all, I didn't plan to stay up until 11. And when I checked the timetable, I saw that this schedule was free. That means I can do anything I want, right?"

As she spoke, she was looking at Kevin fearlessly. She didn't even pause.

However, no matter how hard she tried to look fierce, Kevin knew that she was actually feeling like a scared little girl deep inside. He found this very adorable and seeing her like this only made him want to pull her even closer.

"Anne, my dear, are you mad because I didn't arrange anything for you during that time?" Kevin smiled and his eyes twinkled like stars in the night sky.

But Anne just rolled her eyes at him. She was confused at how Kevin reacted to what she said. Did Kevin misunderstand her?

"Okay then," Kevin said, trying to console her. "I will think it over tonight to see what you can do around seven to eight o'clock every evening."

"No." Anne frowned, in a pitiful way.

"Please don't be mad. I'm going to arrange everything so well you wouldn't feel that you're not being well taken care of," Kevin said in an insensitive way because he couldn't guess what she meant.

Her face immediately turned all gloomy after hearing it.

"Stop it, okay? I said I don't want it," Anne pleaded, pulling the sleeve of his black shirt like a lovely kitten.

Kevin didn't say a word but his heart was full of affection. This was probably the first time for him to see her being playful like this and he liked it. It made him feel as cool as the spring breeze.

He was very surprised at what he was seeing and it turned him on. If only Anne wasn't pregnant, he would surely just grab her, push her onto the table, and make love to her right then and there. But he couldn't.

Realizing this made Kevin feel really regretful and heavy-hearted. He even blamed himself for being so physically fit, which was the reason why Anne got easily pregnant.

But Anne didn't have any hint of what Kevin was thinking. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a gesture which made Kevin think about it in the first place.

"Alright, then," Kevin said in a low voice, surrendering himself to Anne. He wanted to take a firm stand, but he couldn't, not when Anne had a pitiful look in her eyes. Seeing her like this made him feel helpless and now he couldn't be tough.

He felt that Anne had changed too much. The Anne he knew before would never act like such a cute baby to him.

It had been said that women were just like cats. Only when you were being good to her would she behave like a sweet and adorable baby to you. But if you were not good to her, she would most likely act like she didn't need you.

It seemed this was indeed the case. Kevin thought that was true. However, he also found that when Anne acted like a baby, he could do nothing but listen to her. It made him feel helpless, which was not a good feeling. But, still, he enjoyed it.

"Well, thank you," said Anne. Kevin wanted to rest his legs so he leaned against the sofa. With his eyes directly parallel to hers, their position made it easy for her to kiss him, so she did. She kissed his face very gently, and quickly let go.

It happened so fast that Kevin didn't have time to react.

So he reached out his hand and gently caressed Anne's cheek, smiling at her and carefully studying her face. This made her blush, which somehow made her conscious that she might be looking like a bashful little girl for him.

Seeing her this way made his heart flutter and he knew, then, that this was the beginning of his true love.

Maybe they didn't immediately find how to get along with each other when they first met, and maybe they took a lot of detours before finding their way to where they were now. But what was important was that now, he was sure that he was starting to fall in love with her.

At first, he just hoped that Anne could at least be softer to him, while Anne thought that he didn't like her at all.

It was just one of those times when he wondered whether the fates conspired against him. He was lucky, he thought, because he also felt that their previous selves suffered just so their present selves would be happy.

"I'll go ahead," Anne said. She came to her senses and felt embarrassed. 'Why have I been acting so strange lately?' she thought to herself. Every time she thought about this, she felt uneasy.

Realizing what she just did made her feel awkward. It was definitely not in her personality to act like that towards Kevin.

That was why she wanted to get away as soon as possible. She was afraid of being laughed at by him so she headed hurriedly towards the door.

But as soon as she took a few steps forward, Kevin hugged her from behind.

"What is this? You're going to leave after taking advantage of me?" Kevin said with a smirk. His voice was a little hoarse which sounded unique and attractive to Anne.

She swallowed and took back the strange feeling she had in her heart. She pretended to be rascal and replied, "Excuse me, I did not take advantage of you."

Kevin had expected her to say that, so he kissed her ear gently, which made her gasp.

"It happens right now. Don't deny it," Kevin whispered slowly. Seductively.

Anne got a little annoyed. "It's you who took advantage of me, okay?" She tried to break away from Kevin's arms as she raised her voice.

Damn it! Kevin knew that he shouldn't have touched her sensitive ear, not knowing that what really annoyed Anne was how he teased her and insisted that she was the one taking advantage of him.
