Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 81

Cherry followed Anne like a shadow. Fixing her eyes on her adversary, she could barely hide the viciousness that lurked beneath her deep set eyes.

'Anne, I can't wait to see how long your arrogance can last. Soon you will disappear from Kevin's life forever,' she thought.

Having walked a few steps ahead, Anne paused for a moment and looked back at Cherry coldly.

"Now that Kevin isn't here. You don't have to pretend to stay with me. I just want to take a walk alone!" There were so many things about Cherry that disconcerted Anne. Her eyes betrayed the rest of her body. Anne could see that there was a cunning fox lurking behind the façade of her grace.

"No can do, Anne! I've promised Kevin to take good care of you, haven't I? How can I leave you? What if something...bad were to happen to you! How could I live with myself?"

She said this so haughtily that it made Anne's blood boil. With a fake smile plastered across her face, Cherry glided up to Anne in an instant.

The event that she had been patiently waiting for was yet to happen. How could she leave already?

"Kevin is not here. You don't have to be pretend around me. I know exactly who you are and what you want!" As Anne sensed the deceit in Cherry's demeanor, her face burnt brightly and her tone grew impatient.

"I don't like you at all. I honestly wish you would just disappear from my sight forever. I know that you're manipulating Kevin and sabotaging what we have! Why else would he behave so coldly with me recently? You must have used your vile tricks on him!"

As Cherry thought of Kevin's indifference to her these days, her eyes gleamed with rage again.

If it weren't for Anne, she would have been Kevin's wife long ago. It had been her destiny, before Anne ruined everything.

"Do you think everyone is as despicable and desperate as you to get a man using dirty tricks?" A sneer formed at the corner of her mouth. The expression in Anne's eyes grew colder than before.

"You bitch! How dare you seduce Kevin! I won't let you get away with it!" Cherry couldn't stand being called despicable. That was a word she hated too deeply. The anger and hurt rose in her and she made no effort to hide her emotions.

"I wonder if Kevin will still think of you as the 'kindest woman in the world' if he sees your true colors." Looking at Cherry's new avatar, Anne felt more contempt towards her.

She couldn't believe she had to talk to a person as vile as Cherry.

"Kevin will never know. Don't worry about that, honey! He'll never know because you won't be in his life for much longer." Cherry's eyes drifted to a white car parked at a short distance from them. A knowing smile spread across her angelic face.

The end was near for the woman in front of her. This knowledge gave her a cold satisfaction.

"Cherry, what do you mean by that?" Cherry's words sent a chill down Anne's spine. At first, she thought it was simply ramblings of an unstable woman. But in a moment, she realized it was more of a warning. She looked around instinctively to find the source of imminent danger.

"You will know what I mean soon, honey!" The cold smile was intact across her face. Cherry saw the car that was racing towards Anne from the corner of her eye.

Soon, Anne would be dead and no one would compete with her for Kevin's love.

As the screeching sound of the car brake filled the air, Anne was pulled away by someone with great force. She fell down to the ground in a warm embrace with her savior.

Kevin let out a muffled groan as his back hit the ground. His face twisted as a sharp pain went up his spine.

Her mind went blank in that instant. Anne was totally confused. It took her a long time to process what had just happened.

When the driver realized that Anne had been saved by Kevin, he quickly fled the scene.

When she came to her senses, Anne found herself safely cradled in Kevin's arms. He was looking up at her, his eyes wrought with concern.

"Kevin... Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Her voice was plagued with anxiety. She searched his face and then further down his lean body for any traces of injury.

"I'm fine. What about you? Are you hurt?" Both of them staggered to their feet. Kevin examined Anne and touched her cheeks almost unconsciously.

Everything that had just transpired happened too suddenly to comprehend. If he hadn't reacted in time, Anne would have been dead right now.

Obviously, Cherry didn't expect Kevin to appear out of thin air like he had. She had thought that Anne would definitely die this time. But lady luck was on Anne's side that day and Kevin appeared right in time to save the day.

The scheming look on Cherry's face had given away to pure rage. Inside, she was only moments away from going hysterical, but Kevin was right in front of her and she had to keep up the act.

"Anne, are you okay? I was terrified!" Running towards Anne, Cherry pretended to be innocent and looked at her with worry.

Hearing her hypocritical words of concern, Anne turned around and looked at her coldly.

"Cherry, did you have something to do with this? You wanted to kill me, didn't you?"

Thinking of what Cherry had said right before the car approached her, Anne was sure that what had happened was no accident. It must have been her plan!

"Anne, what are you talking about? You are my cousin. Why would I want to kill you? How could you even think such a thing?!"
