Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 35

"Mr. Kevin, did you come for the project tonight?"

"I heard that AN Group is determined to get this project. Is that true?"

"Can you tell us why you are here tonight?"

"Mr. Kevin!"

Kevin didn't spare a glance to the clutter of people surrounding him. His sharp-featured face was cold as always, and his deep eyes were invariably emotionless.

Keeping a steady stance, he extended his fair and slender hand in the direction of the car. Soon, a bright figure came into everyone's sight.

That night, Cherry was stunning. She was wearing a white evening dress inlaid with a myriad of diamonds. Her hair was gathered in a bun, and her graceful features were highlighted by a delicate makeup.

She stood beside Kevin and smiled at him quietly.

An unparalleled beauty and a handsome rich young man, they were a match made in heaven.

All the reporters and guests that were present that night seemed to be impressed by them.

Reveling in their admiration, Cherry raised her head proudly. She settled her left hand into Kevin's palm as she smiled at him graciously.

Cherry was a beautiful woman and the Ye Clan had always been wealthy. She would attract everyone's attention even by wearing modest clothes and a suitable makeup.

What was more, she had such an exceptional man by her side at that moment.

How could she not be in the spotlight that night?

When the two entered the banquet hall, every gaze was naturally drawn to them. Kevin started to chat with some of the celebrities and politicians around him, and many upper-class ladies rushed to accost him.

"Oh my God, Miss Cherry. How big those diamonds are!" a woman exclaimed while approaching Cherry. "Where did you get that customized dress?"

Although her voice was a little fussy, Cherry strangely appreciated her comment.

Flashing a graceful smile, she looked down at her dress. "Thank you for your praise. This dress is a gift from Kevin. I don't know who designed it, though."

Then, straightening her head, she added,

"After all, Kevin never lets me worry about such things."

"Oh my God, I really envy you." It didn't take long before Cherry got surrounded by a group of women. "Even if Mr. Kevin is married, he still loves you very much."

"What are you talking about?"

The woman next to her had accidentally said something wrong, but she didn't notice that Cherry's face had turned cold at once. It wasn't until someone nudged her that she came to her senses. "I mean, Mr. Kevin's heart obviously belongs to you. Miss Cherry, you are really a happy woman."

Cherry took a deep breath and smiled. "Thank you. Kevin will always love me, or I wouldn't be here today. Don't you think so?"

Despite her smile, her tone was slightly serious.

Those women knew that Cherry was unhappy, so they had to change the topic, not daring to add anything else about her relationship.

"I heard that Mr. Kevin is determined to get the project tonight?"

"I don't know." Cherry turned around and looked in Kevin's direction. He was always so dazzling. Even in that vast sea of people, Cherry could immediately spot his radiant figure. "But Kevin never gives up easily."

"Mr. Kevin is indeed the man that all women in the city want to marry. Miss Cherry, you and him are really meant to be together."

"Yes, yes! You are meant to be together!"

The people around her were flattering her again. Even though she knew that they might not mean what they were saying, Cherry was still very pleased with their words. After taking a content sip from her glass, she said goodbye to them and strutted gracefully toward Kevin.

Seeing her walking in his direction, Kevin excused himself and slipped out of the circle of people around him.

He picked up two glasses of champagne from the tray that a waiter beside him was carrying and handed one to Cherry, who was now in front of him.

"How do you feel of the party? Are you bored?"

Watching her grab the glass and lower her head to take a sip of champagne, he couldn't help but laugh. "What were you talking about just now? You look so happy."

"What do you think?" Cherry smiled gently. As she was about to speak, a strange voice broke in from beside her.

"Mr. Kevin, you are so affectionate!"

Kevin had never expected Ryan to make his appearance at this party. He had disliked this man at first sight.

His dislike persisted even now that he saw him again.

He turned in Ryan's direction with a frown.

"Why are you here?"

'Is Ryan also interested in this project? What an unexpected coincidence!' he thought.

"That's what I wanted to ask you, too. I didn't expect that Mr. Kevin would come with a woman."
