Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 89

Cherry frowned as she gazed at Kevin, feeling wronged.

"Cherry, it's getting late. You should go to bed early." Kevin looked composed as if nothing had just happened.

"Kevin, what's going on with you? Why are you being so cold to me? Did I do something wrong? Tell me so I can do something about it."

Cherry refused to give up. She could feel that he was aroused. If he wanted her, she wasn't going to hold back.

"No, I'm just not in the mood to do it now."

Inwardly, Kevin began to hate himself. Damn it! Anne refused him. But the more she refused him, the more he wanted her. And now he wasn't even interested in Cherry.

Cherry didn't buy his answer. She could tell that Kevin was behaving like this was because of Anne.

Her hatred for Anne surged through her veins.

"Kevin, don't you like me anymore?"

After a long silence, Cherry finally plucked up the courage to ask the question that had been brewing at the back of her mind for so long. She was tired of walking on egg shells every single day.

Upon hearing this, Kevin frowned, feeling mildly annoyed. However, when he thought back to how he had been treating Cherry these past few days, he knew he had to be more patient.

"What do you mean? You're the only woman I like. Why would I not like you? Cherry, you're overthinking this."

Smiling gently, Kevin fondly caressed Cherry's face.

Feeling his warmth, Cherry grabbed his hand and looked at him expectantly.

"Kevin, promise me you will always love me, okay? I'm scared that you'll hate me and leave me."

"I promise," Kevin said softly, flashing her a soft smile.

Cherry lightened up when she finally heard the answer she wanted. Kevin was a man of his word. If he promised her this, there was no doubt in her mind that he would keep it.

"I'm going to bed now. You should sleep too." After planting a quick kiss on Kevin's cheek, Cherry left his room.

The minute the door was closed, the smile on Kevin's face vanished. He was filled with anger when he recalled how Anne had refused him just now.

If she wanted to avoid him then so be it!

That night, Anne tossed and turned, barely getting any sleep. She still felt uneasy whenever Kevin's angry face appeared in her mind. She began to doubt if she had been too harsh with him.

That morning, dark circles were visible under Anne's eyes. When she headed downstairs, she found Kevin and Cherry being overtly intimate with each other.

"Kevin, you're so annoying. What are you doing with your hand?"

Cherry shyly pushed Kevin away, obviously enjoying herself.

Following the voice, Anne looked towards the sofa. On the sofa, it seemed that Kevin was on top of Cherry, exploring her body with his hand rather playfully.

Rage gripped Anne seeing him do this to another woman especially after what had happened last night.

She had long suspected that he was merely using her like a toy. If he wanted someone to satisfy his urges, why didn't he just go to Cherry?

She turned away as hearing Cherry's giggles made her seethe inwardly.

"Enough!" Anne slammed her glass of water on the table as she glared at the two on the sofa. "If you want to make out, go back to your room!"

Even if she didn't want Kevin anymore, she still couldn't accept the fact that he was flirting with another woman right in front of her very eyes.

Upon hearing Anne's voice boom across the room, the two were visibly stunned.

Kevin got off Cherry, flashing her a playful smile. However, his eyes showed his disdain.

"Anne, Kevin and I were just..."

Cherry sat up and scowled at Anne. Since she had her back facing Kevin, he couldn't see her expression.

"Cherry, don't you have any sense of shame? I guess that's what's to be expected from a mistress!"

Anne exploded, unable to take it any longer. Her chest heaved violently, anger surging inside her.

All this time, she'd been silently enduring the shamelessness of their illicit affair.

Cherry looked at him suspiciously, as if she was gauging his sincerity.

Anne felt helpless staying in this villa. She couldn't even talk to anyone.

She picked up her phone. She hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to call Ryan.

As soon as she dialed the number, she instantly regretted it. She wanted to hang up but unfortunately, Ryan already answered the call.

"Anne, you finally remembered to call me." Ryan's tone was gentle but a hint of surprise could be detected in it.

"Ryan, how have you been doing?" Anne said quietly as she pressed the phone against her ear.

"Anne, I missed you so much..." Ryan said seriously after a long pause.

Anne found herself at a loss for words. Regret filled her. Why did she call him anyway?

While Ryan was special to her, her love for him was purely platonic.

"Ryan..."

"Anne, let's meet up. We can eat your favorite seafood noodles," Ryan interrupted her before she could finish what she was going to say.

Seafood noodles? He still remembered her favorite food as a child.

She wanted to cry. Her eyes turned red. She'd been repressing herself for so long. Her heart softened knowing that Ryan still cared about her.

It wasn't what he just said but rather that he seemed to still genuinely care about her.

"Okay, see you in half an hour."

In the end, Anne couldn't refuse. Despite her reluctance, she knew that he was the only person who really cared about her. She didn't want to lose that.

After Ryan hung up the phone, his eyes gleamed as he grinned from ear to ear.

Anne collected herself as she put on some light make-up, attempting to hide the fact that she had just cried. She didn't want Ryan to know about her current situation.
