Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 47

Sometimes, Anne really envied Emily. She had a good family and parents who loved her. She was lovely and innocent like any other girls of her age.

She was like a bottle of pure filtered water, so fresh and crystalline that everyone wanted her.

Anne lowered her eyes. The sounds outside finally stopped. She didn't know what they were saying later on when she was lost in thought.

"Anne, he's here to pick you up."

Sam's voice bounced Anne out of her thoughts. She raised her head suddenly and asked, "What?"

Why would Kevin want to pick her up? Didn't he hate her? He believed she pushed Ruth down the stairs, so there was no love lost there. Why would he take her home?

"Emily, help her pack her things."

Kevin entered the room, as if he didn't care how Anne reacted at all. Since he promised Sam he'd settle this matter for Anne, he was going to keep her close.

Emily cast an embarrassed look at Anne. Judging from her expression, it was obvious that Anne didn't want to go anywhere with Kevin.

"Kevin, what do you think you're doing?"

Anne raised her eyebrows and asked, "Isn't that you don't you trust me?"

"I didn't say I trust you now. "But I have to protect my kid," said Kevin ruthlessly.

He knew Alan was vengeful. Anne had put his sister in a vegetative state, after all. How could Alan let that slide?

When he left this morning, Roy told him Alan had put a price on her head, and was looking into hit men who might do the job.

If he hadn't let Sam know, the latter wouldn't have agreed to let him take Anne with him.

"No. I'm not going with you."

Anne wasn't going to stay with someone who didn't trust her. She would rather stay in the hospital until the baby was born.

"Anne, don't make this any harder than it has to be."

Kevin had never been patient with Anne. Seeing her temperamental like that, he was not in the mood to play around.

Anne's eyes were as calm as water.

"I said I wouldn't go with you."

She was so stubborn. She wanted to pretend she was tough around Kevin. Even if her heart was already riddled with holes, she would still hold on and show him her strong side.

Because Anne was behaving that way, Sam decided to step in. He didn't like the idea of her going with Kevin, but he understood why. Kevin was right.

Only Kevin could defend her from Alan.

"You'd better go with him, Anne."

This really flabbergasted Anne. Wasn't Sam always on her side? Why would he speak up for Kevin like that?

When Anne was looking at him in surprise, Sam just looked away and kept silent.

Emily was also confused. She couldn't understand why Sam said that.

"Emily, help her get packed," he said.

Then he turned and left the ward.

Looking at his receding figure, Emily frowned. What was wrong with Sam? This wasn't like him at all.

Hearing that, Emily didn't hesitate anymore. She helped Anne gather up her luggage.

She believed that as long as Sam thought it was okay, there must be a good reason.

Anne slowly sat up straight, and looked into Kevin's eyes. She didn't like what she saw there. So she made her gaze just as cold. Her pale face turned white, like a shard of piercing ice.

She got in the car, Kevin's exclusive luxury car.

While sitting in the familiar seat, Anne habitually looked out of the window. Kevin sat beside her. They were so close that they could hear every breath, every heartbeat.

Looking out of the window at the neon lights, Anne couldn't help but sigh in her heart, 'How time flies! I'm not ready yet.'

"Where do you want to go?"

Hearing Kevin's question, Anne moved her shoulder and said, "Wherever."

She didn't understand why Kevin asked her where she wanted to go.

Ridiculous! Did she have a choice?

"Hey, can you stop talking to me like that?" Kevin was furious. He didn't know what was on Anne's mind. He'd made compromises, trying to be nicer to her. Why didn't she understand his good intentions?

"Kevin, I don't want to fight."

Anne curled up while leaning against the window. She was so tired and didn't want to talk, especially to the man beside her. She knew that he didn't love her, but he had to take some responsibilities.

In that case, he would just end up resenting her.

"I didn't know we were fighting."

Kevin stretched out his hand and spun her around, forcing her to look at him.
