Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 65

Kevin ignored Cherry's mention of Anne and continued to walk towards her to hold her delicate hand.

His tone was unusually gentle. His eyes were soft but there was no warmth in there, like he was a heartless person.

For the first time in his life he didn't feel excited to see Cherry. Instead, he felt a pang of disappointment.

"I didn't tell you in advance because I didn't want to delay your work. You're already so busy every day, and yet you still have time to spare to accompany me. I'm already satisfied with that,"

Cherry said seductively with tenderness on her face.

Her words were so comforting that people would have felt an urge to hold her in their arms.

"My Cherry, you've always been so considerate," he whispered in a doting manner as he held her in his arms.

Upon hearing this, happiness flashed across her eyes but it quickly turned to coldness when she thought of Anne.

"Kevin, don't you hate Anne anymore? I feel that you've started to care about her recently,"

Cherry asked cautiously after a brief silence.

Sensing the jealousy that was laced on her words, Kevin stroked her hair endearingly and explained,

"I only care about her because she has my baby, that's all. Don't think about it too much." He thought about what Anne had said that day and he felt unhappy.

"Kevin, that's not what I meant. You should care about Anne as she's pregnant,"

Cherry explained anxiously, worried that her good image in the man's heart would be affected.

She was well aware that Kevin liked her because she was a considerate and kind woman, traits that she pretended to have. She was afraid that those slip of selfish words might change his feelings towards her, so she immediately took them back.

"I know that you didn't mean what you said. I just wanted to make you feel at ease. In my heart, you are the only woman that deserves my love."

Kevin embraced her tightly, sealing his promise.

Remembering Anne's cold face, he felt a little depressed. Since the woman was so ungrateful, he would never show concern for her in the future.

He wanted to see how long she could hold on.

After her lover had reassured her, relief washed over Cherry's heart. In return, she promised herself that she wouldn't allow Anne to have a chance to contact him.

They spent a long time inside Kevin's office. When she was about to leave, she walked past Anne's office. Her eyes turned cold as she strode in.

"Emily, bring me the real estate documents," Anne commanded without raising her head, thinking that it was her secretary who pushed the door open.

"What an arrogant woman! How dare you order me around?" Cherry said in her sharp voice laced with sarcasm.

Her vicious eyes were emotionless. The hatred in her heart was so strong she wanted to skin Anne alive.

Upon hearing her venomous tone, Anne put down the documents in her hands and looked up to her.

"What are you doing here? It's working hours, I don't have any time to spare for you."

She knew that nothing good would happen in her cousin's presence. The moment she saw her, she felt inexplicably irritated. All she wanted at that time was for Cherry to leave as soon as possible.

"You're getting on my nerves. Don't you know that? If Kevin finds out that you're talking to me this way, what do you think he'll do?"

Cherry spat out on purpose as her beautiful eyes burned with anger at Anne's cold voice.

She knew that he was Anne's weakness so she used that to her advantage.

Being threatened by Cherry, Anne felt the same hatred burst out from her eyes. She disliked being threatened the most.

"If you are not afraid of ruining your good image in his heart, you should probably tell him. Isn't that your strong point?"

She already had a bad image in Kevin's mind, so she didn't care about maintaining a façade in front of him.

"How dare you talk to me in that way! You're so full of yourself just because you're pregnant with his child. Don't forget that you're just a tool for surrogacy. Once the child is born, you're as good as nothing to him!"

When Anne heard the word "surrogate", she felt as if her heart was stabbed from inside. The relationship she had with Kevin was like a thorn in her heart. As long as it prickled, a dull pain would always emerge.

She was getting pale as she turned to stare at Cherry with so much hatred.

"Before I give birth to this baby, you are nothing but a mistress. What qualifications do you think you have to come here and teach me a lesson? Do you think you have the right to declare ownership?"

She was not a fool. She knew why the woman had made trouble for her too many times.

If Cherry pretended to care about her, she would have felt like a hypocrite. Anne would rather see her true face.

"Don't take what she said to the heart. She said that on purpose to piss you off. You're pregnant, you shouldn't stress yourself over this matter,"

Emily uttered in concern as she looked at Anne's flat belly.

"I'm fine. I know that it's not worth getting angry for."

She looked at her companion who seemed to be more affected when it came to her encounter with Cherry.

"By the way, how are you doing with Sam?" Anne asked Emily as if she remembered something.

Upon hearing his name, Emily's heart ached and disappointment soon overwhelmed her face, but she quickly concealed it.

"What do you mean? What would even happen between him and I?" she looked away and asked in an unnatural tone.

"Do you think I wouldn't figure it out? You like Sam, don't you?"

A long time ago, Anne found out that Emily had feelings for Sam. She honestly felt that they seemed like a good match.

Emily's expressions became more unnatural with every word Anne said, and there was a trace of sadness buried in her eyes.

"Even if I like him, so what? He doesn't like me back."

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Anne had never seen her in such a depressive state. It seemed that Emily truly liked Sam.

"Who says he doesn't like you? I do think that he loves you,"

Anne said and patted her shoulder. She didn't want to see Emily upset.

But for Emily, it was nothing more than a pitiful attempt to comfort her.

"Anne, please don't say that just to appease me. If Sam really did like me, how come I don't feel it? We have known each other for years. He has always been so indifferent towards me,"

she said in a muffled tone. Her heart was overwhelmed with disappointment as she lowered her head.
