Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 173 Maldives

Anne already checked on every room to look for her baby. She went to her child's room, the balcony, the living room, and even to Kevin's room, but she still couldn't find him.

When she heard the sound of running water in the kitchen, she thought that the nanny was there.

"Maybe the nanny saw that I didn't come out, so she took the baby to the kitchen," she murmured to herself and let out a sigh of relief.

However, when she arrived at the kitchen, she didn't see the baby. The only one who was in the kitchen was the nanny.

"Where is the baby?" Anne asked with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

At this time, she had caught the nanny's attention. When the nanny saw her, she was a little surprised. "The baby was taken away by Mr. Kevin. Didn't he tell you?"

The nanny was flustered when she knew that Anne didn't know where her baby was. She thought that Kevin had already told her about taking the baby with him so she felt just fine with it.

"No. Wait a minute. I'll call him." Anne felt the urge to confront Kevin through a phone call to ask why he took the baby away.

"You don't have to call me. I'm back." Just when she was about to dial his number, a familiar voice was heard in the kitchen. She immediately turned around when she recognized that it was Kevin who just came. However, to her surprise, there was no baby in his arms.

"Kevin, where have you taken the baby? Why didn't you tell me about it?" she frowned and asked in a reproachful tone.

"His grandmother just misses him, so I took him away with me. I will let him stay there for a few days and fetch him after." Kevin smiled lightly trying to calm Anne down.

But, his words only made her more worried.

"Then, you should have discussed it with me. As the mother of the baby, don't I have the right to know where my baby is going?" She vented all her anger on Kevin. He was a bit stunned to hear her like this. She sounded so much worried that she couldn't help but feel irritated.

"I'm sorry, but the baby will be fine. My mom likes him so much." Kevin patted her shoulder and comforted her.

However, Anne seemed not in the mood to appreciate his comfort. She turned her body away from him and he missed her shoulder when he was about to pat on it again.

"Okay, I'm going to bed," she said shortly and averted her eyes coldly. She just wanted to go back and have a rest.

All of a sudden, the nanny spoke. "But the dinner is almost ready."

"No, thanks. I'm not hungry. I'll be fine after a rest." After saying that, Anne quickly went back to her room.

"Don't mind her." Kevin turned his eyes to the nanny and spoke indifferently.

The nanny thought that he was angry with how Anne treated him earlier, but in fact, he was not. He had a plan up his sleeve and he knew that she would feel sick if she flew by air. He noticed it when he traveled with her by plane last time.

He took out a small bottle of perfume from his pocket. It was purple with many patterns carved on the delicate glass lid. He bought it for her.

At first, he hesitated to open the door of her room. After a moment, he went straight in without knocking at the door. Anne shouted in surprise, "Kevin, can you knock the door before you come in?"

She was obviously upset, especially now that she was disturbed when she was about to fall asleep. It made her feel worse.

If this happened before, Kevin would surely get angry towards her. He didn't like his efforts to be wasted. He thought that she was too stubborn for him to love. But it was different now, he was patient and he loved her even more every time he saw her pissed-off-look.

She was like a kitten that showed its teeth and waved its claws, but he preferred her like this. He admired her truthfulness in being herself.

"It seems that you can't sleep well," Kevin said calmly. He really had completely changed his attitude towards her.

But she was so irritated and just rolled her eyes at him.

Of course she couldn't sleep well. How could she have a good sleep after being disturbed by him just now? She seldom slept well when he was around.

She was secretly cursing him in her heart. Suddenly, she saw him take out a small bottle from his pocket and sprayed it into her room. She smelled a pleasant fragrance in the room, which made her calm down a little.

"What's this?" Anne asked curiously.

"It's a perfume that helps you have a good sleep," Kevin said and smiled gently.

Anne couldn't believe that there was such kind of perfume that put one's mind at ease.

Suspicion was traced all over her face. Kevin just smiled and put the perfume on the headboard. "You must try it, but don't sleep like a log."

He smirked at her, which made her startled. After that, he went out and she quickly closed the door. She went back on her bed and was about to sleep with the quilt in her arms.

The fragrance of the perfume was truly pleasant. Anne felt much more relaxed and fell asleep unconsciously.

She was sleeping until about ten o'clock at night. When she woke up, her eyes widened.

She was surrounded by neat and clean seats, and French windows. The beautiful starry night could be clearly seen outside.

What surprised her more was when she found herself in Kevin's arms.

She tried to escape his arms but he didn't let her go.

"Why did you bring me here?" She raised her eyebrows and gave him an unfriendly look.

"As you can see, we will go abroad," Kevin answered briefly.

But his words only made her frown. What on earth was happening with him? Why did he suddenly take her without permission? And how could he hold her just like that?

"Why are we going abroad? Kevin, it's not right for you to take me out like this. I want to go back." Kevin held her tighter as she struggled to break free.

He seemed to be unusual this past few days. He grinned at her and said, "I did ask for your opinion before we came here."

Anne blinked her eyes and spoke. "Nonsense. Why didn't I know anything when you asked for my opinion?"

"I said it directly to your ear that if you didn't want to travel, you could wake up. But you haven't," Kevin said and smiled teasingly.

In fact, he was not making sense at all. If he told her that it was a trip, she wouldn't definitely come with him. So he took her out carefully.

"You sprayed the perfume on purpose, didn't you?" He was really a crazy man. Anne felt infuriated and her cheeks bulged up.

She wanted to push him down and kick him so hard, but his eyes seemed to be fixated on her while she was acting so cute in his sight.

"That's a gift for you. Did you like it?" Kevin stroked her hair slowly.

He felt really triumphant when his plan turned out successful. God knew how hard it was for him to subdue a stubborn woman like her.

"No," Anne said frankly.

But she regretted what she just said. What made her refuse in such a blunt manner? She was like a teenager who was playing hard to get in front of him.

"I don't want to travel. Kevin, I want to go back." This time, she spoke calmly and lowered her eyes.

"But I have to go. What should I do?" Kevin pinched her nose.

Anne didn't want to be treated like this. She was no longer a teenager. How could a strong woman like her hide in others' arms like a little girl?

"Then put me down. I'll go back myself," said Anne in a loud voice and looked at him sharply. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Kevin put her on the ground, but she felt her feet cold. It turned out that Kevin didn't bring shoes for her when he took her out.

"Kevin, are you serious about taking me out with no shoes on my feet? How cruel you are!" Anne just thought that it was just a part if his stupid show. She stared at him with her fiery eyes, as if she was about to unleash the anger inside her.

"I forgot to bring them with me. I'm sorry. I said I would carry you. Why do you insist to come down?" He picked her up again and was about to get on the plane.

Anne spoke stoically. "Even if I don't wear shoes, I have to go back. Put me down quickly."

No matter how many times she insisted to go back, there was no way for her to do so. The two of them had arrived at the boarding gate. Kevin already had teased her enough. He enjoyed staring at her murderous look, because he found it cute. He suddenly leaned on her and pressed his lips on to hers.

Anne's eyes widened. How could he do this? When their lips touched, it was as if she got an electric shock, and her body was activated all throughout.

When they arrived at the cabin, she heard everyone's laughter. It seemed that Kevin must have attracted their attention. She was too embarrassed to say another word, so she just nestled comfortably in his arms. However, she had a hard time calming her heart that was pounding fast at the moment.

"The plane takes off now. Have a nice trip." After the broadcast, Anne felt the plane take off.

She just stared at the beautiful sky in the night. Her eyes dazzled when she looked at how the stars and the moon brightened up the night.

She deliberately avoided looking at Kevin, because she was afraid that he would see the amusement in her. In fact, when he had kissed her earlier, she felt so good. Her mind seemed to have always contradicted with her heart. No matter how many times he had hurt her, she still couldn't help but like him. It was actually difficult for her to control.

Due to the mess she had been into, she looked somehow untidy. Kevin, on the other side, felt relieved, because at last there was really no turning back for Anne.

It was already in the middle of the night. Some of the passengers had fallen asleep. Anne shifted her eyes from the window and caught Kevin looking at her.

"Where are we going?" she asked with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

"Maldives," Kevin turned his head to him and said unnaturally.

In fact, he was usually busy with work and he had never been to Maldives. He just heard that it was a perfect place to visit and most girls wanted to go there, so he thought that Anne wouldn't hate it at least.

Anne felt restless when she knew the place where they were going. She didn't expect that Kevin would take her there. It was actually true that every girl wanted to go there. She also dreamt of it when she was a child. Well, it was ultimately a beautiful place to visit, and to find oneself. How she had hoped that she could go there with her Mr. Right then!

But now, she didn't want to go there at all. She felt that it carried the hope of her youth. She felt nothing but sadness in their entire trip.

She was pleased with the fact that Kevin was really good to her now. It softened her heart a bit receiving the kindness he had shown, regardless whether he did it to make up to her or merely for the sake of the kid.

Anne had mastered to adapt to other people's indifference towards her. Now that she had another person by her side, she felt a little afraid that she might be used to his presence and forget how strong she had been in dealing with vicious people. She didn't want to be so dependent on others.

'Anne, you're so ridiculous!'

she said to herself and shook his head slightly.

She couldn't look into Kevin's eyes, so she just pretended to be sleepy, but later on, she really fell asleep.

Kevin stared at her angelic face. His eyes swept across the dark sky. He realized how much he loved her. He was lost in thought as the affection in his eyes deepened.
