Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 30

Kevin nodded and said expressionlessly, "I know, but I need to spend time with my child."

"You..." Anne really wanted to throw the book she held at his annoying face. But on second thought, she could use the art of persuasion and pawn Kevin off on Cherry.

"Kevin, will you stay here with the child until it is born?"

Noticing her softer tone, Kevin glanced at her and nodded. "Yes."

"But don't forget that Cherry is waiting for you at home."

It was indeed beyond Kevin's expectation that Anne would bring up Cherry. He frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing. I just think you should spend more time with her. She's a real catch. Aren't you afraid someone else will get her?"

"Will you also worry about me?" Kevin's sharp eyes looked at Anne, and it seemed he could see through Anne's scheme. Kevin thought he was the only one who could choose, and no one could take that choice away from him.

Noting the rays of cold light from his eyes, Anne raised her head and looked at him with a faint smile. "Of course. Seriously, though—are you willing to lock yourself in this place all day long with a pregnant woman?"

"Who said you would be locked up here all day long?"

Kevin frowned and wondered where Anne had got this idea from.

Hearing Kevin's words, Anne was in a bad mood. She sneered, "Didn't you say that? That I had to stay here until the baby was born? You told me I wasn't allowed to go out. So are you ready for that? If you stay with me, you'll have an idea of how it feels,"

she said this slowly, word by word. Kevin narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you want to go out so bad, let's go!"

Seeing the dangerous look on his face, Anne didn't want to push it, but sometimes he went too far. She'd have to challenge him on some things.

Maybe that was the only way to get Kevin to understand she was a person, not a robot. Even if he didn't love her, it was better if he hated her.

Anne followed Kevin downstairs. To be honest, she was still very weak. It took everything she had to go from the room to the stairs, and again from the stairs to the hall.

She was very tired, but she followed Kevin bit by bit without saying a word. Because she knew that if she complained, Kevin might change his mind about taking her out.

She had been here a few days, but she had never gone out, nor could she even call or text anyone.

She hadn't forgotten her appointment with Ryan, but she couldn't contact him, and that would be hard to pull off now.

When they got to the hallway, Kevin suddenly stopped and looked back at her.

She halted her steps and looked at the man in front of her, keeping her poker face.

"What do you want to eat tonight? We'll go somewhere and grab something."

Eat? Anne sneered in her heart. She didn't want to eat anything, and just wanted to go out and get some fresh air.

If she could just get out of the house, she'd be happy, even if she had to be with Kevin. As for a choice of meals, she didn't care.

"Alright."

She stood straight beside him, looking as imposing as him.

Glancing at her coldly, Kevin raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

The couple walked to the car. They could see the countryside in the fading light of evening, its rolling hills, trees, and lush greenery. Everywhere Anne looked was absolutely beautiful and serene.

It was not like it was all good. It was stressful being near Kevin, but she still was in a much better mood.

Looking at the green plants in front of her, Anne couldn't help putting her hand on her belly. "Baby, mommy has taken you outside. Look, it's so beautiful here," she whispered.

Although she kept her voice low, Kevin could hear her clearly.

Unconsciously, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel, while he turned his head slightly and took a look at the woman beside him. There was a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes filled with tenderness that could rarely be seen in them.

She sat quietly beside him, with her head gently leaning against the leather seat. Her face was quiet and elegant.

A gentle breeze tousled her hair, bringing a burst of fragrance. A vague smile appeared at the corners of Kevin's mouth.

"Where do you want to go?"

Kevin spoke first, but Anne didn't react much. She still looked out of the window and said softly, "It's up to you."

She was not a picky person and was easy to satisfy. She was happy she finally got out into the open air. The most important thing now was the baby growing inside her. She knew if she were in a bad mood all the time, the baby's health would be affected.

Since she was outside finally, she was determined to be in a good mood and enjoy this night to the fullest.

She could just ignore Kevin. He didn't really want to be here, anyway.

"Then let's head to your house."

After hearing what the man said, Anne turned her head suddenly and asked, "What did you say? To my house?"

She hadn't been there in a long time. Last time she was there was before she married Kevin. Considering the life she lived then, how could she return to that house where everyone was tired of her, where they lived to humiliate her?

"What? You don't like that idea?"
