Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 140 Advice

Initially reeling from the shock, Anne regained her composure and ran up to Sam. She knelt down to check if he was alright. She saw the blood flecking his lips. A mix of guilt and sympathy appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Sam, are you okay?"

Sam looked a little embarrassed, which made Anne feel sorry for him.

Knowing she turned him down, Sam still did this for her. Anne really didn't know how to face him.

"Don't worry about it, Anne. I'm fine."

Sensing the concern in Anne's tone, Sam wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then he stood up and glared at Kevin.

Anne got to her feet and did the same. There was an arctic chill in her gaze.

"Why did you hit him?"

This man was nothing but a violent animal. How could he hit someone? It was really too much.

"Why? Do I need a reason to hit someone?"

'Damn it! Why is she so concerned with another guy? She is good at trying my patience!

It seems that she doesn't even know whose woman she is. How could she care about another man in my presence? She really doesn't care about me at all,' Kevin thought angrily.

"Why are you acting like this? This isn't your house, Kevin. Please leave."

Listening to Kevin, Anne became even angrier. 'This man is just impossible! Probably the worst in the world!'

"Come with me!"

He traveled here intending to bring Anne home with him. It was a simple command. If she agreed to it, he'd have no more reason to be here, and leave as he was asked.

"No. I'm not going anywhere. Not with you, anyway. Remember the agreement? We're nothing to each other now. Leave me alone!"

Anne said coldly, without any hesitation.

"You really want me to drag you away?"

Kevin's handsome face was joyless, and anger festered in his black eyes. This woman was being ridiculous. She kept turning him down.

Drag? Did he really say that?

What right did he have to treat her like this? How could he do that?

"Mr. Kevin, now you've gone too far. Anne told you straight up that she didn't want to go with you. Do you like forcing yourself on others? Find a new hobby."

Sam had listened to Kevin's arrogant tone long enough. His overbearing manner grated on the doctor. Sam once again pulled Anne behind him and looked at Kevin coldly.

"I'm talking to my woman. What gives you the right to interfere?"

With a morose expression, Kevin still had a trace of disdain in his eyes. Anne was his woman. He could do whatever to her. And no one could stop him.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're the one that cut her loose, right? So why should you care, if you're not together anymore? Don't forget who dumped who."

With the same sneer, Sam looked at Kevin with intangible jealousy in his eyes.

Kevin was a horrible man, but Anne liked him. Sam really didn't know why. He had always been there for Anne, but she still loved Kevin.

Why? Why was this happening? He was better in every way. Why couldn't she see that?

If only he could just convince her... If she completely gave up on Kevin, Sam might still have a chance.

Clenching his fists, Kevin tried his best to suppress his anger.

"You want to compete with me for my woman? Do you think you're capable enough?"

Kevin sneered with disdain. His voice was as cold as death, and the hate in his eyes blew over everyone like a bitter winter wind.

"That's for me to know, and you to find out. Anne doesn't want to go with you, Mr. Kevin. I don't think she stuttered. Do you want her to say it again?"

Anne was clearly unwilling to even be around Kevin. Her firm tone bolstered Sam's confidence.

"Anne, tell him you love me!"

For the first time, Kevin felt trapped. His anger had nowhere to go, so it boiled inside him. He glared at Anne with a furrowed brow and gave her a direct order.

Frowning, Anne bit her lip in dismay. She would never say those words to him. He had hurt her too much. She ignored his command.

"Kevin, just go away. Don't bug me again!"

She turned to leave.

Watching Anne close the door, Kevin was in a murderous rage. Unbelievable! Some woman had turned him down!

Sam glanced at Kevin and gave him a smug smile, and then he followed Anne into the house.

"Mr. Kevin, let's go, okay?" his secretary said. "Before things get worse."

The secretary had broken into a cold sweat, worried about what his boss might do next.

With a brooding face, Kevin gave the secretary a hard look and got in the car.

In the villa, there was a nonstop cacophony of thrown items colliding with the walls, floor, and everywhere else. The crashing sounds could be heard everywhere in the villa. The secretary stood there and did not dare make a sound. He could only silently watch his boss vent his anger.

Kevin kept going, smashing and bashing everything in sight. Lamps, dishes, it didn't matter to him. He didn't stop until everything in the living room had been reduced to smithereens. And now that room was a disaster area.

"Calm down, Mr. Kevin. This can't be good for your health," the secretary said, concern obvious in his voice.

He had worked under Kevin for many years, but he had never seen him so angry. He didn't have a clue about how violent this man could get.

"Ungrateful slut!"

Kevin kicked over the table nearest him. His expression was sullen and terrible. He flew into a murderous rage every time he thought about Anne turning him down.

"Mr. Kevin..."

Looking at Kevin's angry face, the secretary frowned and wanted to say something more. He thought better of it and just kept quiet.

"What is it? Just spit it out!"

The secretary's attitude annoyed Kevin even more, and the impatience in his black eyes became more and more obvious.

"Let's not play that game, Mr. Kevin. I'm afraid you'll be mad if I tell you."

The secretary looked at Kevin with hesitation. He didn't dare say what he wanted to say, but at the same time he didn't like to see his boss this way.

"I don't think I can get any angrier. So what do you think would do the trick?"

At this moment, Kevin was wondering whether he should change secretaries. He needed people who could follow orders, and not worry about his feelings.

"I think you're taking the wrong approach with Anne. The more you push, the more she tries to escape."

Thinking of what his boss had done recently, the secretary sighed helplessly. If he were Anne, he'd probably do the same thing.

"What did you say? Repeat what you just said!"

Damn it! The secretary knew he had gone too far. He knew his boss cared for Anne a great deal. He wouldn't have gone to the lengths he did, otherwise. And no matter how angry he was, he never hurt her.

"Mr. Kevin, I know you want her back. But you're coming on too strong. Any woman would be scared by your approach. Strong, domineering men do well in business, not in love."

The secretary sighed again. Only then did he know how hard it was to be a secretary, especially for Kevin.

"Too strong? You are the one who gave those suggestions to me, like out of a movie. Now you tell me it's the wrong way?"

Kevin stared at the secretary coldly.

Facing Kevin's accusation, the secretary felt like weeping but had no tears. The methods he had come up with were good, but for some reason, they were completely useless when his boss used them.

"Boss, the methods I gave you were foolproof. Maybe you screwed up somehow..."

the secretary said in a low voice, afraid that Kevin would explode on him.

"You mean it's all my fault?" said Kevin, in a threatening tone.

The secretary loosened his collar. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"No, of course not. How could I blame you?"

the secretary explained in a hurry. He was smarter than that. Blaming Kevin, even for the things he was to blame for, was a death sentence.

Being a secretary is no easy job, and now it seemed that he was saying all the wrong things.

"That's another fine mess you've gotten me into. So what do we do now?" Kevin looked at the secretary irritably. Everything he'd done so far had turned Anne's heart even colder.

If things went on like this there would be no way to get her back.

In the past, he would have simply used force. But now he didn't have the heart to treat her like that.

"You want my advice, and I'd suggest you wait a bit. Give Miss Anne some time to calm down. Maybe she'll change her mind after a while."

The secretary was really afraid if Kevin continued to act like this. His relationship with Anne would be irreparable that way.

"Give her some time to calm down? While she's staying with another guy? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Kevin said, upset at the secretary's words.

There was another man with his woman. How could he give her any more time? He was not that generous!

Was this secretary really on his side? How could he come up with such a terrible idea? She was staying with Sam, and he liked her. He could lose Anne quite easily? Did the secretary think he was an idiot?

Being scolded by his boss, the secretary tried to look as innocent as he could. He was trying to help Kevin out, and all he got was grief. The life of a secretary was not an easy one.

"Mr. Kevin, I'm doing this for your own good..."

The secretary gave Kevin a hurt look. He was trying to help his boss, but the only thing his boss did was yell at him. His boss was getting more and more temperamental.

"For my own good? I want her back. Make it happen!"

Kevin said angrily. He was fuming, because now he had no one and nothing to vent his anger on.
