Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 59

Anne's morning sickness was only getting worse. Her face was utterly pale and she could barely eat anything throughout the day.

Kevin spent most of his day in the study. Whenever he would hear Anne vomiting, he would feel mildly annoyed.

She was already so thin. How could her body stand all that throwing up?

Suddenly, the door flew open as Cherry strode in. She had a huge smile on her face, holding what seemed to be a container in her hands.

"Kevin, what's on your mind? Something seems to be bothering you," Cherry asked in concern as she placed the soup in front of him. She then fondly held his arm as a way to comfort him.

"Nothing. Just work. What are you doing here?" Kevin really wasn't in the mood to hash it out with Cherry.

She didn't find this suspicious as this was pretty normal behavior for him. He was a workaholic whose life revolved around his career.

"You've been working so hard. You must be exhausted. I made you some soup to help you with the stress."

Cherry pushed the soup towards Kevin, looking worried.

He looked at her affectionately, flashing her a smile as he took the soup.

Just as he was about to drink the soup, he stopped. Frowning slightly, he seemed to have realized something.

"What's wrong, Kevin? Don't you want the soup?"

Cherry frowned, looking nervous.

"Anne's morning sickness is getting worse. She hasn't eaten anything the whole day. Why don't you just give the soup to her?" Kevin said lightly as he put the soup back on the tray.

The smile on Cherry's face froze as she looked at Kevin, visibly taken aback.

"Oh, that's right. How could I forget about Anne? I was so focused on you."

After a momentary silence, she forced a smile. As she spoke, her tone was gentle but the envy in her eyes was undeniable.

Kevin turned and returned her gaze. In a soft tone, he said,

"I'm doing this for the baby's sake. I need to make sure the baby is healthy. Do you understand?"

He decided to explain himself as he was worried that Cherry would feel uncomfortable.

Cherry smiled back, feigning concern.

"Kevin, you don't have to explain anything to me. Anne is pregnant and she's my cousin. I should take care of her. I'm sorry I wasn't more sensitive. I'll bring her the soup right now."

She acted as if she was considerate and truly cared about Anne. In reality, she abhorred Anne.

She couldn't help but notice that Kevin's concern for Anne had been increasing recently. She couldn't let this go on any further.

"Honey, we can go shopping later after I'm done with work." He got up and planted a quick kiss on Cherry's forehead.

Cherry left with the soup, beaming.

However, the minute she stepped out of the study, the smile on her face instantly soured.

She didn't even bother knocking on Anne's door as she just went straight inside her room.

At that moment, Anne was preoccupied, reading a book. When she looked up, her eyes instantly turned cold at the sight of Cherry.

"What are you doing here?" Anne asked bleakly.

"I'm here to bring you some soup. You're still carrying Kevin's child after all. You need to take good care of yourself,"

Cherry said snidely, glowering at Anne.

"You don't have to pretend to care about me. Kevin isn't here. You can stop this pretense right now."

Anne looked at Cherry with disdain, her eyes filled with resentment. She was tired of playing this game with Cherry.

Cherry shot her a dirty look, visibly nettled.

"You're dreaming if you think Kevin's going to fall in love with you just because you're pregnant with his child. He has nothing but hatred for you. If you weren't carrying his child, he probably wouldn't even look at you. I'm the only woman in his heart."

As Cherry spoke, she proudly lifted her wrist to show off the bracelet that Kevin had given her.

Sneering, Anne deliberately looked away.

While she knew that Cherry was just purposely showing off, she still couldn't help but feel downcast.

"Please get out. I don't want to see you anymore," Anne said coldly as she closed the book in her hands rather irritably.

"What right do you have to tell me what to do?" Contempt was written all over Cherry's face as she approached Anne, still holding the container of soup in her hands.

"I asked you to get out. What's so hard to understand about that?" Anne was visibly sickened by Cherry, not even bothering to hide it anymore.

Cherry opened her mouth, ready to retort when she heard Kevin's footsteps nearing.

Upon hearing this, an idea came to her.
