Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 55

"All right, all right. Anne's foot is hurt. Quit being so mean." Holding Kevin's arm intimately, she almost pressed her whole body against him.

When she talked to him, all his troubles seemed to disappear. It didn't matter how much he despised Anne.

"Well, let's go. I don't want to be around her one more minute than I have to."

Kevin held Cherry's hand and walked out.

"Wait!" A second later, Cherry stopped Kevin.

"Your coat's still here. I think it's dirty. I'll get the servant to wash it for you tomorrow."

She walked to Anne's bedside, picked up the coat Anne had worn earlier and gave her a defiant look.

But when she turned to look at Kevin, the defiant look had been replaced with a soft, gentle one. She was such a chimera, able to change her expression so radically, and so quickly.

"Just throw the coat away. It's appropriate, considering she has worn it."

Kevin looked at the coat that Anne had just worn with a frown. He took it from Cherry, looked at her, and threw it in the trash.

When Anne watched him do this, her heart was deeply hurt. He did it unflinchingly, too, like it was the most natural action in the world.

Even the coat she had worn was nothing but trash to him.

Cherry acted agitated, but she said his name with a bratty smile, "Kevin..."

"I get it, honey. I can read your mind. You're too kind, but it's not worth it to waste time on such a woman!"

Kevin rubbed Cherry's nose in a disgustingly cutesy way, a gentle smile in his black eyes.

Looking at the two love birds, Anne felt so heartbroken that she could not breathe.

She turned her face away from them and tried to hide her pain from him.

It almost seemed like Kevin was tender and caring toward Cherry, and disdainful to Anne.

"Good night, Anne. I'll come by to see you tomorrow." After she said that, Cherry took Kevin's arm and left.

Kevin closed the door, leaving Anne alone with her emotions. There was no need to hide them anymore.

She sniffed and forced herself not to cry. She had been hurt so many times and was used to it by now. Why was she still crying?

Maybe because her heart hurt so much? Why did she feel as if someone were squeezing her heart when she saw the two of them show their love for each other?

Cherry started in on Kevin the moment the door was closed. She was angry and jealous, and started demanding answers. "What happened between you and Anne? How did her foot get hurt?

And why was she wearing your coat?"

Raising his dashing eyebrows, Kevin fired back at her, smiling. "Jealous?"

"Would you think that I'm petty by asking such questions?" Cherry looked at Kevin with hesitation and worry. There was hurt in her big watery eyes.

Rubbing Cherry's nose again, Kevin whispered in her ear, "I'm happy you're jealous. It proves you love me."

Hearing his answer, Cherry blushed shyly, with her beautiful eyes full of tenderness.

"What about Anne? What are you going to do with her? When are you sending her back?"

Cherry had not been happy since Anne moved into Kevin's villa. She really wanted her to leave as soon as possible.

"She's still pregnant with my kid. You saw what happened today. I need to protect my child, so she can stay here until the baby's born."

Cherry was a little disappointed by Kevin's answer. She frowned.

Kevin's words made her anxious and resentful. It was all dependent on Anne. She had only been pregnant for a month. She had another eight months to go.

Cherry was a little worried. Anne liked Kevin. What if she did something to win his heart while she was staying there?

She frowned and kept plotting how to get Kevin to kick Anne out.

"What's wrong? You don't want her to stay?" Kevin asked when he saw Cherry's worried look.

"No, it's fine. If Anne lives there with you, it's very convenient for you to take care of her."

Cherry forced a smile. She didn't want him to know any different.

"It's settled then. It's getting late. I'll take you back to your room."

He knew that Cherry was the most considerate woman in the world, and what he liked most was how gentle and kind she was.

Taking one last worried look at Anne's room, Cherry went upstairs, arm in arm with Kevin.

Kevin stayed with Cherry for a while, and it was late when he came out. Instead of going to bed immediately, he left the villa to meet up with Alan.

Anne was carrying his baby then, so he would never allow anything to happen to her.
