Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 46

Emily paused the moment a familiar figure appeared in front of Anne.

'Kevin? He's finally here.'

Emily saw who approached Anne. She stopped walking and gave them space. She wanted to see if Kevin finally realized something and believed Anne.

"It seems that you have lived a good life."

Anne suddenly froze. Her smile vanished as her heart started racing. She lifted her head and saw Kevin's face. She could not distinguish his expression. As she faced him, she didn't know what to do.

"What are you doing here?"

she asked him. When she was in a coma, he was nowhere to find. He hadn't contacted anyone, even Sam or Emily.

He neglected his responsibilities as a husband. She felt sad that the person in front of her was too heartless.

Her cold tone made Kevin depressed. "Can't I come here?"

"Yes, you can."

Anne loathed Kevin. She had already given up on the man in front of her.

She started to walk in another direction when Kevin suddenly grabbed her arm. "Wait a minute -- I have something to tell you!"

Emily hid in the corner when she saw Kevin grab Anne's arm. She couldn't believe what happened.

"By God! Is Kevin begging for forgiveness?"

"What are you doing?" Anne was startled at what he did. But her heart was already filled with coldness and she couldn't care for him. She was disgusted at his touch. She couldn't even bare looking at his face.

Kevin saw her expression, which made him feel worse.

"I came here today just to ask you something."

Anne removed his hand and took a deep breath. "Is there anything unclear between us?"

Kevin hesitated but still asked her, "Did you push Ruth down the escalator?"

It was what she expected. 'What was I thinking? Of course, it was the same question.' Anne thought. All the hope in her heart faded.

She felt ridiculous at that moment. She smirked and answered,

"Kevin, you have already known the answer in your heart. Why do you ask me again?"

Kevin was annoyed to see the smile on her face. He knew that the woman always liked to contradict him. He hoped she could be a little softer so he could reciprocate the feelings.

'Why does she always go against me? Why is she unwilling to admit defeat?' Kevin thought, frustrated at her actions.

"I just want to ask you in person."

"Ask me?" Anne mocked him more. "You thought I was a cruel woman the first time you saw me, didn't you? I think in your conception, it's a piece of cake for me to push someone downstairs."

Kevin stared at her eyes -- it was so cold. Her words stunned him as he realized that she was right -- he already judged her.

"Don't you have anything to explain?" Kevin hoped she would surrender as he asked.

"Explain what?" Anne kept her straight face. She couldn't feel anything anymore. "I'm telling you, I didn't push Ruth down. I didn't touch her from beginning to end. Do you believe me?"

Kevin was about to tell her, 'I believe,' but something stopped him. He started to look at her face seriously. "I need evidence, or how can I know if you are lying?"

"Ha-ha." Anne turned around and said, "No, it's your business how you think of this matter. I know what I have done and that's enough. Those who believe me will always believe me."

She paused and stared blankly at him again. "Those who don't believe me will never do all their lives. So what the use of trying to convince those people who would never have faith in me?"

"You--"

Irritation rose at Kevin's heart again. He didn't like how Anne spoke. He knew that she never enjoyed explaining herself. 'If only she could, I would make an excuse and put my dignity down for her.'

He knew what he thought was ridiculous. Anne's pride wouldn't allow her to do that.

"What? Do you have any other questions to ask me?"

The shine from the sun and the strong wind suddenly made Anne dizzy.

"Anne, can you change your temper?"

Kevin softened his tone. He couldn't bear to see her pale face.

Anne pursed her lips. "Why should I change?"

Kevin started to feel ill-tempered again. "Don't you think you are stubborn? What's the point of doing this?"

"It has no point," Anne abruptly answered as the wind breezed against her body. She was about to fall but still kept to stood still.

Kevin noticed that Anne was pale as a piece of paper. He tried to lift her as she nudged. "How about going inside first? It's windy today. You're not fit to go out."

"Thank you." She clenched her fists and tried to control her emotions.

She proceeded and started to walk with heavy steps. She heard the footsteps behind her.

She frowned when she knew Kevin was following her. She did not know how to push him away.

As Emily saw both of them walking towards her with stiff expression, she knew that what she imagined would never happen.

By the look of them, Kevin seemed to have made Anne miserable again.

She shifted her gaze at Anne and noticed her pale face. She looked weak and was about to fall.
