Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 81 Saved By Kevin

Cherry followed Anne like a shadow. Fixing her eyes on her adversary, she could barely hide the viciousness that lurked beneath her deep set eyes.

'Anne, I can't wait to see how long your arrogance can last. Soon you will disappear from Kevin's life forever,' she thought.

Having walked a few steps ahead, Anne paused for a moment and looked back at Cherry coldly.

"Now that Kevin isn't here. You don't have to pretend to stay with me. I just want to take a walk alone!" There were so many things about Cherry that disconcerted Anne. Her eyes betrayed the rest of her body. Anne could see that there was a cunning fox lurking behind the façade of her grace.

"No can do, Anne! I've promised Kevin to take good care of you, haven't I? How can I leave you? What if something...bad were to happen to you! How could I live with myself?"

She said this so haughtily that it made Anne's blood boil. With a fake smile plastered across her face, Cherry glided up to Anne in an instant.

"Kevin is not here. You don't have to be pretend around me. I know exactly who you are and what you want!" As Anne sensed the deceit in Cherry's demeanor, her face burnt brightly and her tone grew impatient.

"I don't like you at all. I honestly wish you would just disappear from my sight forever. I know that you're manipulating Kevin and sabotaging what we have! Why else would he behave so coldly with me recently? You must have used your vile tricks on him!"

As Cherry thought of Kevin's indifference to her these days, her eyes gleamed with rage again.

If it weren't for Anne, she would have been Kevin's wife long ago. It had been her destiny, before Anne ruined everything.

"Do you think everyone is as despicable and desperate as you to get a man using dirty tricks?" A sneer formed at the corner of her mouth. The expression in Anne's eyes grew colder than before.

"You bitch! How dare you seduce Kevin! I won't let you get away with it!" Cherry couldn't stand being called despicable. That was a word she hated too deeply. The anger and hurt rose in her and she made no effort to hide her emotions.

"I wonder if Kevin will still think of you as the 'kindest woman in the world' if he sees your true colors." Looking at Cherry's new avatar, Anne felt more contempt towards her.

She couldn't believe she had to talk to a person as vile as Cherry.

"Kevin will never know. Don't worry about that, honey! He'll never know because you won't be in his life for much longer." Cherry's eyes drifted to a white car parked at a short distance from them. A knowing smile spread across her angelic face.

The end was near for the woman in front of her. This knowledge gave her a cold satisfaction.

"Cherry, what do you mean by that?" Cherry's words sent a chill down Anne's spine. At first, she thought it was simply ramblings of an unstable woman. But in a moment, she realized it was more of a warning. She looked around instinctively to find the source of imminent danger.

"You will know what I mean soon, honey!" The cold smile was intact across her face. Cherry saw the car that was racing towards Anne from the corner of her eye.

Soon, Anne would be dead and no one would compete with her for Kevin's love.

As the screeching sound of the car brake filled the air, Anne was pulled away by someone with great force. She fell down to the ground in a warm embrace with her savior.

Kevin let out a muffled groan as his back hit the ground. His face twisted as a sharp pain went up his spine.

Her mind went blank in that instant. Anne was totally confused. It took her a long time to process what had just happened.

When the driver realized that Anne had been saved by Kevin, he quickly fled the scene.

When she came to her senses, Anne found herself safely cradled in Kevin's arms. He was looking up at her, his eyes wrought with concern.

"Kevin... Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Her voice was plagued with anxiety. She searched his face and then further down his lean body for any traces of injury.

"I'm fine. What about you? Are you hurt?" Both of them staggered to their feet. Kevin examined Anne and touched her cheeks almost unconsciously.

Everything that had just transpired happened too suddenly to comprehend. If he hadn't reacted in time, Anne would have been dead right now.

Obviously, Cherry didn't expect Kevin to appear out of thin air like he had. She had thought that Anne would definitely die this time. But lady luck was on Anne's side that day and Kevin appeared right in time to save the day.

The scheming look on Cherry's face had given away to pure rage. Inside, she was only moments away from going hysterical, but Kevin was right in front of her and she had to keep up the act.

"Anne, are you okay? I was terrified!" Running towards Anne, Cherry pretended to be innocent and looked at her with worry.

Hearing her hypocritical words of concern, Anne turned around and looked at her coldly.

"Cherry, did you have something to do with this? You wanted to kill me, didn't you?"

Thinking of what Cherry had said right before the car approached her, Anne was sure that what had happened was no accident. It must have been her plan!

"Anne, what are you talking about? You are my cousin. Why would I want to kill you? How could you even think such a thing?!"

Cherry protested innocently, fluttering her doe-like eyes.

"Cherry, can you stop pretending? Do you think I will believe you if you just say it has nothing to do with you?" Anne couldn't control her rage anymore. Cherry was not only trying to sabotage her, but she was trying to get her killed. There was no way she could forgive her.

She had never expected that Cherry would do such a cruel thing to her. 'Murderer! That's what she is. She wanted kill me and my baby! How could this woman be so vicious?!' thought Anne to herself.

"Anne, you have really misunderstood me. I didn't expect something like that to happen. How could I have known? I really don't know how it happened. You are my cousin. Do you think I'm cruel enough to want to hurt you?"

Cherry explained anxiously. Kevin was watching her silently and his silence always made her anxious.

She was really worried that Kevin would believe what Anne was saying. If he did, that would be the end of her plan. Her dreams, her destiny... would all be doomed.

"Then what did you mean when you told me that I would disappear from Kevin's life forever? You knew something was going to happen, didn't you? Cherry, how can you be such a cold-hearted bitch?"

At the realization that Cherry wanted to kill her and her baby, Anne's mind was clouded by a vicious anger. She would never allow anyone to hurt her baby.

"Anne, I have not said anything of that sort! How can you frame me for murder so casually? I'm your cousin. Even if you want to push me away from Kevin, you can't accuse me of something you have no proof for!"

Cherry had always been excellent at playing the victim. Her eyes were soon filled with fake tears.

She knew that she couldn't make Anne believe her. But it was more important that Kevin believed her story. So she turned quickly to Kevin, her eyes pleading for mercy.

"Kevin, I had nothing to do with what happened. I don't know who was in that car or what happened! You must believe me!" Holding Kevin's arm, Cherry was trying too hard to look sincere.

Kevin's face darkened and he pursed his mouth to form a thin line. He could tell that someone was deliberately trying to hurt Anne. Even a fool could tell what had happened was no accident. But he couldn't be sure it was Cherry.

"Cherry, I have never seen such a vicious woman like you. I can't believe you would stoop so low."

Kevin's silence had made Anne feel uneasy. She was worried that Kevin still believed in Cherry's innocence.

"Enough! I'll get to the bottom of this. But I don't believe it had anything to do with Cherry."

In Kevin's mind, Cherry was the kindest woman in the world. He couldn't even phantom the idea that such a vicious act could be done by someone like her.

As Anne heard what Kevin said to defend Cherry, her entire body grew stiff. She was in shock, more by Kevin's reaction than by what had happened.

It was so obvious that it was Cherry who had arranged the mishap, but Kevin still chose to believe she was innocent.

It was in that moment that Anne realized the truth about Kevin's heart. She realized that she and the baby she was carrying would never be as important as Cherry to him.

"Kevin, thank you for believing me. If you had believed Anne's lies, I really don't know what to do," Cherry threw herself into Kevin's arms and said, dramatically.

"I'll find out who is behind this. I will never let you be wronged." Holding Cherry in his arms, Kevin said firmly.

Looking coldly at the two people who were snuggling up to each other, Anne felt disgusted. In fact. It was clear where his affections laid.

When Anne turned around to leave, she felt a sharp pain in her belly.

She covered her belly with her hand and slowly sat on the ground. Her hands began to shiver slightly as panic rose in her heart.

Although she had escaped death, her body had more or less suffered from the hit!

The rising pain in her belly made her panic even more. She was worried that it had hurt the baby and the thought terrified her.

Kevin soon noticed the shift in her behavior. Seeing her hold on to her belly, he pushed away Cherry and rushed towards her.

"Anne, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling okay?" His face flushed with anxiety.

Anne was still enraged because he'd believed Cherry's words. She didn't want to anywhere near him at that moment, so she pushed him away coldly.

"It's none of your business!" She stood up carefully, afraid that any quick movements would hurt the baby.

Seeing the pain in Anne's eyes, Cherry felt a sudden surge of happiness. Even if she couldn't get rid of Anne this time, it would be great if she could make the baby in Anne's belly disappear.

If Anne lost the child she was carrying, Kevin and his family would not let her stay.

"Anne, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the baby?

Anne's cold attitude irritated Kevin. This woman seemed to be enduring some pain, but she still had the nerve to throw a tantrum on him. Didn't she know that she was a pregnant woman?
