Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 447

Unfortunately, time would never stop for anyone. The two of them finally returned to the hotel and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

The next morning, Kevin woke up to his ringing phone. With half-opened eyes, he glanced and caught the caller's name.

It was none other than Mr. Huang. Kevin had tried hard to get in touch with Mr. Huang, but he seemed extremely busy. Hence this phone call surprised him. He couldn't help but wonder the reason behind this call.

He couldn't get rid of the bad feeling he had begun to feel.

Wanting to put his mind to rest, Kevin answered the phone. On the other side, Mr. Huang's voice was not clear and seemed distant. "Mr. Kevin," he called out.

"Mr. Huang, I have had trouble trying to reach you," Kevin said in a low voice as he walked out of the bedroom in pajamas. Gently, he closed the door behind him, afraid his voice would wake Anne up.

"Ha-ha..." Mr. Huang gave a little laugh. After a short pause, he explained, "Recently, my company has just received a big contract. Now I'm so busy, I hardly have time for rest. I've been going to other cities. I just arrived yesterday and heard about you, Mr. Kevin. My assistant is quite thoughtless. He should have informed me about this important call. But Mr. Kevin, don't worry. I'll fire him immediately!"

Kevin smiled slightly but made no comment. After a while, he cut to the chase and said, "Since you have contacted me, I have something to say. Do you still want to sign the contract that you had discussed with me before?"

The truth was, even before he received the answer, Kevin knew what Mr. Huang's answer would be.

However, he thought it was best to hear it from him.

As expected, Mr. Huang's laughter immediately sank. After a long silence, he sighed heavily and said awkwardly, "Mr. Kevin, when we talked about this matter, I had agreed. Logically speaking, I can't go back on my word, but the company has received a new contract. And hence I don't have enough money to continue with our contract."

"That's very unfortunate, but I would hate to make things difficult for you. Under the circumstance, it would be best to give up our contract." Kevin's voice was indifferent and casual as if he didn't take Mr. Huang's words seriously.

Mr. Huang, who had braced himself for Kevin's anger, was quite surprised. Normally businessmen would take such news badly.

The contract Kevin was talking about is a big one. If he really couldn't find a partner, then the AN Group was bound to lose three billion. Kevin's calm reply was quite surprising.

However, when Mr. Huang was wondering what was happening, Kevin's voice came again. "Even if we cannot become business partners this time, there is still a possibility to join hands in the future. I'm looking forward to our next cooperation."

Mr. Huang was even more confused. But he simply responded to this with a few polite words. Kevin hung up the phone soon after this.

"So the result is the same as we expected." Anne's voice came from the door.

Kevin turned around and smiled at her. She walked over and threw herself in his arms.
