Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 99

"Mr. Kevin, welcome! I haven't seen you around here in so long."

Despite the manager's overt enthusiasm, Kevin remained indifferent—he didn't even spare the manager a glance.

Anne skimmed the restaurant with her eyes, noticing that the restaurant was rather cozy instead of grand and magnificent. While the place was undoubtedly sophisticated, its ambience seemed to be tailored to couples on romantic dates.

"Mr. Kevin, I've already prepared your table for you. Do you want your usual orders?" The manager remained as devoted and spirited as ever despite Kevin's less than warm response.

"Yes, the usual," Kevin answered plainly as he led the way to the private room.

"Okay, let me call on a waiter to serve you now." The manager continued to tail Kevin around.

Kevin was more than used to this kind of treatment which could explain why he seemed impatient. He drew his brows together as he asked rather rudely,

"What are you still doing here? Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?"

"No, no, no. Mr. Kevin, please enjoy your meal. I'm leaving now. If you need anything, please call me and I'll assist you."

Noticing Kevin's displeasure, the manager hurriedly left.

Anne, Kevin, and Cherry began to eat their meal in the private room—the atmosphere was admittedly a little awkward.

Anne resorted to keeping her head down as she ate her steak. She wasn't in the mood to see Kevin and Cherry showing off their relationship to her face. She shrank back, pretending as if she didn't even exist.

Kevin frowned slightly when he noticed Anne scarfing down her food, barely chewing it.

He began to cut up several pieces of his steak.

After he was finished, he scooped it up and placed them on Anne's plate.

"Slow down. Don't act like this is your first time eating in years. Other people might think I'm not treating you well."

Despite Anne's rather unpolished eating habits, he found himself amused and endeared more than anything.

Anne glanced at the cut-up steak on her plate. Something flickered across her eyes as she looked at Kevin in shock.

Did he really cut up the steak for her? Since when was he so considerate?

She was at a loss. He'd never treated her like this before.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Kevin couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the look on Anne's face. Her eyes were wide as saucers and her mouth gaped open. Was she that moved?

At the thought of this, he broke out into a huge smile.

His good looks together with the warm smile took Anne aback, who was utterly mesmerized for a moment.

He was an excellent and handsome man who could make any woman fall in love with him.

She had to pinch herself out of her daze. She had to remind herself that if she continued this, Cherry would definitely make her regret it.

Instinctively, she glanced at Cherry who, as expected, was side-eyeing her sharply.

Cherry's threats suddenly echoed in her mind. She pushed the steak towards Kevin and said coolly,

"Thanks for your concern, Mr. Kevin. But shouldn't you be doing this for your sweetheart instead of me? We shouldn't be doing anything that would make people misunderstand your intimate behavior towards me."

Kevin scowled at her. 'Did she refuse me again?'

"Anne!" he hissed, visibly seething. No woman had ever dared to refuse him so many times.

"Yes, Mr. Kevin?" Anne said calmly, seemingly unfazed. Inwardly, her heart was pounding in her chest.

"Anne, don't try me." 'Damn it! Why is she acting as if nothing had just happened? She has no right to turn me down.'

"Mr. Kevin, you're thinking way too much of this. I'm full."

She kept her composure as she looked him in the eye. Despite knowing full well that he was pissed, she still stood her ground.

"Kevin..."

Cherry wasn't stupid—she knew Kevin was angry because Anne had refused him which could only mean that he cared about Anne. She couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Humph!"

Snorting, Kevin stood up and walked away. 'Damn it, I can't even look at her face right now. I'm so mad that I want to strangle her to death at the sight of her.'

"Kevin, where are you going?" Cherry hurriedly followed behind him only to have the door of the private room slammed shut to her face.

She immediately turned her head to look at Anne, her eyes instantly turning cold.

"Just because he cut up the steak for you doesn't mean he's in love with you. He's merely concerned about the baby."
