Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 76

The way Kevin refused her made Cherry even more furious. She stared at Anne with such hostility and malevolence in her eyes. It was unknown how many times she had wanted to kill Anne.

Anne had already been used to Cherry's malefic gaze. She glanced back at her nonchalantly and then ignored her the rest of the time.

Kevin was not so skilled in wrapping bandages, and it was evident in the way that he treated Anne's wound. Her hand looked like a traditional Chinese rice pudding after Kevin bandaged it. She just hurt her palms but Kevin wrapped her hand entirely.

"Are you really not going to let me eat? What made you think it was okay to wrap my whole hand like this?"

Anne said while rolling her eyes in annoyance at Kevin. She thought he was proficient in everything until she saw the way he poorly wrapped her hand like that.

"Well, you still get your left hand. Don't you?"

He got frustrated upon seeing the look of disappointment on Anne's face. He thought what he did for her was special but her reaction clearly gave him the impression that it wasn't. He started thinking that she might have been a little ungrateful this time.

"I do, but I can't use chopsticks using my left hand. So, what's the point?" she grunted, while looking at Kevin dismissively. Was this man really just playing tricks on her?

"Is that the only problem? Then I'll feed you!"

Kevin said without hesitation, completely ignoring the reaction of the two women.

Anne was taken aback. She couldn't believe Kevin would respond like that. In a normal situation, she would expect him to just tell her to starve to death.

But today was clearly different. He even offered to feed her. She started wondering why he had changed all of a sudden.

Cherry was shocked too. Her hatred for Anne grew even more. Kevin's inclination towards Anne was getting more and more obvious, and she did not want it to keep going on like that. She knew she had to do something to prevent Anne to get between her and Kevin.

"Since when have you become so concerned about Anne?" Cherry said with a hint of jealousy in her tone and tried to force a little smile.

"She is pregnant with my child. Shouldn't I care about her?" Kevin said without having any guilty feelings about Cherry's question.

"Yeah, I get that she is bearing your child, so it's only natural for you to care for her. I'm just curious why you seem to have changed drastically all of a sudden."

Cherry was obviously confounded when she heard Kevin's response. It would seem that he was aware of how his attitude towards Anne had changed, but he didn't try to hide his affection towards her in front of Cherry.

Meanwhile, Anne could not help but sneer while noticing the panic on Cherry's face. Cherry had been so good at pretending, but he might find out about her true colors soon.

"Cherry, go and ask the kitchen crew to prepare some nutritious soup for Anne. She needs it. She is too thin," Kevin ordered.

Cherry just said one wrong sentence, so that didn't cause Kevin to suspect too much. But what he said next made it more difficult for her to accept.

She stared at Anne with so much hatred once again. She really wished she could just kill her at that moment. She couldn't accept that Kevin actually ordered her to do things for that bitch.

But she knew that no matter how much she hated Anne from the beginning, she could never let it show whenever she was in front of Kevin.

So she took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll take care of it." After speaking in the most gentle tone she could muster, she turned around and did what Kevin asked for.

Anne and Kevin were then left alone, and the atmosphere started to get extremely awkward. As much as Anne really tried, she couldn't work up a word to say.

She would have resorted to just driving him away if he hadn't shown that he cared for her moments ago. She thought to herself that if she would have her cold face on, it would seem like she was totally ungrateful.

"Kevin, thank you. I really appreciate what you just did for me,"

Anne said, as if breaking the ice after an awkward silence between them. She tried to sound more sincere to lighten the mood.

"Aha, Anne! I guess it turns out that you still have some conscience left in you,"

Kevin snorted. He felt so nervous around her just now, but this woman merely thanked him for what he did. He thought that was not enough.

He should have just accepted Anne's gratitude and been content, but that was not him. He was really good at ruining the atmosphere.

Anne curled her lips in dissatisfaction and stood up. She started feeling dizzy again and she felt a chill feeling.

She slightly frowned and tried to ignore the discomfort she was feeling. She fell down again after taking a couple of steps. She felt as if she was stepping on something ridiculously soft like cotton, and that she lost her strength altogether.

"Anne, are you alright? What's happened?" Kevin reacted immediately and managed to catch her. Worry filled his eyes as he witnessed how she was that day. He wondered if she was sick or something.

He tried to check her temperature by touching her forehead with his slender fingers that were a little cold from fear and worry. His face turned pale and he felt flustered when he felt that her temperature was high.
