Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 29

Kevin's footsteps were quickly fading away. Anne listened carefully. Her body stiffened when she heard him stop abruptly.

After a while, the sound of the door slamming shut resounded in the room.

Breathing a sigh of relief, she turned to look at the door. He left. He really left.

With her strength drained from her body, she finally let a few hot tears slip along the corners of her eyes and down on the pillow. As they fell with urgency, they kept reminding her that she was just a tool for surrogacy.

After getting what she deserved, she would leave immediately.

Cherry seemed to be in a good mood thanks to the phone call.

Obviously, Selma was very satisfied with her. On the contrary, she found Kevin's recent performance quite disappointing. Even though Anne was pregnant, it was inappropriate for him not to come back for days.

Fortunately, Cherry was sensible enough not to complain about it. Otherwise, she would really be pissed off by Kevin.

"Kevin is such a willful boy. It's one thing to stop dealing with the company's affairs, but quite another not to find the time to be with you." Selma picked up the cup of coffee from the table and took a cautious sip. "Luckily, Cherry, you're such a fair lady and don't bother at all."

Cherry sat graciously on the sofa. She always took care to show the best version of herself around Selma.

Raising her head delicately, she flaunted a gentle smile.

"Auntie, it doesn't matter. I understand Kevin. After all, this is his first child. It's natural for him to be thoughtful."

"You are so considerate." With a satisfied nod, Selma smiled back at her.

In spite of her praise, Cherry still felt bad. Her smile was graceful, but her gaze was full of disappointment.

How could Selma not understand what she was thinking? Noticing her unhappy look, Selma asked, "Cherry, are you worried about Kevin?"

"What?" Astonished by that unexpected question, Cherry quickly turned around with her expression full of denial. "No, no. I believe in him. But Anne is a good girl. I'm afraid--"

"You don't have to worry about that. Kevin is a man who treasures the present. He knows the difference between love and hate very clearly. He hates Anne so much. How could he fall in love with her?" Smiling, Selma added, "What's more, Anne has fallen far behind you. Kevin has good taste. We should trust in him."

Since it was Selma to say those words, Cherry couldn't bring herself to disagree. At least, she knew she succeeded because Selma liked her, and so did the rest in the whole Fu Family.

Therefore, as soon as the baby was born, she would formally marry Kevin and become the young hostess of the Fu Family.

At the thought, she couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

'Anne, you can't compete with me after all.'

Sam and Emily had been out the whole day and hadn't come back yet. Feeling bored for staying in the villa alone, Kevin wanted to see Anne, but he had just left her room. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to rush to her too soon.

After waiting downstairs for some time, irritated and consumed by his own thoughts, he finally decided to go upstairs again.

The door was closed. He stood in front of it for a while before bringing himself to knock.

He knocked and knocked, but no sound came from inside. Frowning, he bashed on the door harder. "Anne, are you asleep?"

Hearing the noise, Anne immediately pointed her eyes to the door. What was wrong with Kevin? He had barged into her room to scold her a while earlier, and now he'd already come back. What was he up to?

She pursed her lips, staying quiet.

It didn't matter what he was going to do. But she didn't want to say anything now, not to mention see his annoying face again.

Anne turned over in her bed. Although she couldn't fall asleep, it was good for her to lie down as she needed to rest.

"Anne, if you keep silent, I will open the door and come in."

As he got no response, he pushed the door open and burst in. He caught a glimpse of the slightly bumped quilt on the bed.

Knowing that she was still resting gave him some relief.

He strode to the bed and stopped at its side. As he leaned over, he gazed at Anne's beautiful and delicate features.

Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her breathing was slow. She seemed to have fallen asleep.

It was common for pregnant women to sleep more. Shaking his head, Kevin sighed, "You did fall asleep so soon and soundly."

Anne clenched her fists under the quilt, wishing she could jump up and tell Kevin she wasn't sleeping at all.

She was just a pregnant woman lying on the bed for a while, but in his eyes, she was lazy. That man really hated her.

After some time, Kevin was still there. The sound of turning pages traveled to Anne's ears from the sofa.

Hearing that, she moved a little and opened her eyes stealthily to look in that direction.

She hadn't noticed that Kevin had picked up the book "Where is the Beauty" from her bed, which he was now reading attentively on the sofa.
