Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 170

"Kevin, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." This time, Cherry was actually being sincere.

She often acted weak and frail to win over Kevin's attention especially when Anne was around. However, this time around, she genuinely appreciated Kevin. Without him, she wouldn't know what would happen to her.

"Now you can go back by yourself," Kevin said plainly.

In response, Cherry shook her head and refused, "No, I don't want to. Kevin, he already knows where I live. Considering what I said to him today, he definitely won't let me go!"

She shivered in fear at the mere thought of Devin.

It was true that she hated her mother with a burning passion. That was also what drove her to push her mother which caused her death.

It was her mother who had been unfaithful to her father. When she gave birth to Cherry, she did it in secret. She should have been the daughter of the Ye Clan. Why did her mother have to tell her the truth and let her live in the shame of being constantly threatened by Devin?

"That's none of my business." Kevin didn't even attempt to hide his disappointment at Cherry.

In particular, he hated Cherry for setting him and Anne up that led to a misunderstanding between the two of them. It was ironic that the one whom he hated the most turned out to be the most innocent.

"Kevin, what if something happens to me? Are you just going to stand back and watch?" Cherry said softly, sobbing.

Resigned, Kevin took Cherry home.

All the lights in the entire Fu Family's Villa were turned on. The lamps stretched all the way to hundreds of meters outside the gate as if they intended to greet the people who were coming home late.

Upon Cherry and Kevin's arrival at the villa, the first person they saw was Anne sitting on the sofa. It seemed as if she was drawing something.

Anne looked up only to find Kevin with Cherry.

To make things worse, Cherry raised her eyebrows and smiled tauntingly at Anne.

Naturally, Anne was pissed off. She had told Kevin that he was free to go wherever he wanted with Cherry. However, he couldn't bring her home.

'Is he just so eager to see her? It just has been only a few days.'

Scowling, Anne packed up her things in an attempt to leave. Kevin grabbed her by the hand and quickly said, "Anne, please listen to me."

She had a sour look on her face. "What do you have to tell me? Like you said, this is your home. You can bring home whoever you want and make anyone leave. What is there to explain?"

"That's not it," Kevin said helplessly.

At that moment, Cherry chimed in, "Yes, Anne. My father wanted to hurt me today. Kevin was just nice enough to save me so he took me back."

Anne turned and left as soon as Cherry finished speaking.

Regret filled Kevin as he glared at Cherry. Then he turned to the housemaid and ordered, "Find her a room on the second floor."

With that, he went to chase after Anne.

Anne became even more infuriated knowing that Kevin was following her. She intended to close the door, slamming it to his face. However, he reached out to block the door but was unable to as his hand was injured.

When she caught sight of this, she blinked her eyes in concern.

"Anne, listen to me. I didn't bring her back to annoy you this time." It wasn't until then that he realized how much she truly abhorred Cherry.

"Sure, you weren't trying to piss me off." A cold smile appeared on her face laced with skepticism.

Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, she then said, "You're just trying to drive me away."

"I already know that Cherry isn't your uncle's child," Kevin said loudly.

Only then did she come to her senses. Despite not knowing what was going on, she still couldn't help but feel upset.

She'd always hoped that Cherry would be exposed—that she wasn't actually a daughter of the Ye Clan so that Anne's uncle could finally rest in peace. Now it was rather useless for everyone to find out since her uncle was dead already.

"Anne? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Kevin asked worriedly, putting his arm around her shoulder.

This was the first time that she had heard him talk to her in such a tone.

"Would you have believed if I told you then? You always thought I was after the money and that I was unkind to Cherry because she was a threat to our relationship. Would it have made a difference if I told you?"

she said, smiling bitterly—a smile that tugged at Kevin's heartstrings.

Normally, she would be upset but she was done feeling bad for herself. She was much stronger now. No one knew how much she had struggled and suffered.

Carefully studying her expression, he realized he had been wrong.

"From now on, I'll make sure that you never have to suffer anymore," he said solemnly.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. He'd already disappointed her beyond repair. "I don't care if you still have feelings for Cherry or not. I don't care if you think you owe me or not. Just stay away from me. I hate you."

I couldn't care less about staying in the Fu Family or not. I don't love you so I don't care."

Her words felt like sharp knives stabbing into Kevin's heart, crushing his pride.

While this hurt, he chose not to blame her. He understood how much he must have hurt her in the past.

"It doesn't matter whether or not you care. But I don't like owing anyone anything. As long as you're still in the Fu Family, I'll do my best to make it up to you," Kevin said coolly.

Anne's cold heart suddenly softened. She didn't care about compensation. Some wounds just ran too deep to heal even if there was compensation.

He had always held a special place in her heart but he had just hurt her too much that she felt as if her heart was long dead.

This wasn't how she wanted things to be. All it took was for Kevin to show her love and affection and her heart would spring back to life.

'Anne, it seems you forget about all the pain and suffering you experienced just because you've recovered,'

she cursed herself inwardly.

Selma arrived before noon.

She had with her bags of toys, clothes, and milk for the baby. If anything, she didn't look like the mother of the CEO of the AN Group but just a regular old grandmother who loved her grandson.

"Auntie," Cherry greeted, seemingly embarrassed.

She wanted to avoid Selma especially that Selma had already kicked her out last time.

However, Cherry didn't want to be impolite lest Selma get even angrier with her.

With a straight face, Selma asked Kevin, "What is she doing here? She might hurt my grandson."

As much as she didn't like Anne, she loved her grandson too much. As a result, she hated Cherry eve more.

"Mom, I'll explain it to you later tonight," Kevin said plainly.

That night, everything about Cherry and all the evil things she had done was going to be divulged.

He was going to find out everything that Cherry had done and expose her for who she truly was. Consequently, he would be able to portray Anne in a better light.

"I don't care. I just want you to stop messing around with Cherry. You should be treating my grandson well. You haven't even given him a name. How could you call yourself a father?"
