Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 98 He Seems To Care About Her

Staring at Kevin in a daze, Anne could tell from the look on his face that he was concerned about her.

Did he genuinely care about her?

She couldn't be sure as he always made it clear to her that all he felt towards her was disgust.

Anne shook the thought away. How could he care about her? Even if he did, it was probably only because of the baby she was carrying.

"Are you dumb? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Kevin couldn't help but be irritated at Anne's lack of response. She used to be so disobedient, but today she actually said nothing.

"I..." Anne clamored for words, not knowing what to say.

"Kevin..." As expected, Cherry was dissatisfied with the shift in his attitude towards Anne. It seemed that she was getting more and more important to him.

"Put it on!" Kevin commanded as he took off his coat and handed it to Anne.

Staring at the coat, Anne found herself absent-minded. Was he really showing concern for her?

Cherry shot a warning look at Anne, her eyes sharp as knives.

Anne frowned, feeling Cherry's burning gaze on her. Not wanting to cause any more trouble, she decided to refuse Kevin's offer.

"No, thanks."

She pushed his hand away, turning her back to him. For the briefest moment, she couldn't help but be moved at Kevin's show of concern towards her.

Cherry sneered as she gaped at Anne's back. 'This bitch is smart. She knows that if she seduces Kevin in front of me, I won't let her get away with it.'

Kevin's hands froze midair, his chest heaving violently.

'Damn it! She refused me again!' He wasn't going to stand by and let this woman refuse him again.

"Put it on. If something goes wrong with the baby, you can't afford to take the responsibility for it."

He forcibly put the coat on Anne's shoulders. He made sure to use his strength so she wouldn't be able to resist.

Anne couldn't help but stunned at the sudden warmth. A strange feeling arose in her heart. Did Kevin really care about her?

If she wasn't sure before, she was sure now. Even though he mentioned the baby, she could still feel his concern for her.

"Thank you..." she said in a small voice, lowering her head.

Kevin wasn't able to help himself as a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. He didn't know why but seeing her accept his gesture lightened up his mood.

"You're my wife. You don't need to thank me."

He didn't want her to be polite to him like this. He liked it better if she just accepted it naturally.

"……"

Anne was rendered speechless. He wasn't holding back on declaring his possessiveness over her.

"Let's go." All of a sudden, Anne's stomach grumbled much to her embarrassment.

"Are you hungry?"

Kevin broke out into a smile. He found her adorable so much so that he wanted to pinch her cheeks.

"Hmm... A little," Anne said honestly.

"Well, then, let's have dinner!" As he said this, he walked towards the car, opened the door, and got in.

Initially, Anne intended to refuse, unable to bear Cherry's cold gaze anymore. However, she couldn't ignore her hunger any longer.

After hesitating for a bit, she decided to get in the car. She needed to prioritize her health after all. If she wasn't pregnant, she had no problems starving but she had to think about the baby.

As soon as she began walking towards Kevin's car, Cherry caught up with her, glaring at her.

"Anne, I'm warning you. You'd better stay away from Kevin or I'll make you pay for this!"

'If you want to get in my way, don't blame me for being ruthless,' Cherry thought to herself in spite. Never in a million years would she allow anyone to take Kevin away from her.

"It's not like you treat me any other way. You're nothing but mean to me 24/7," Anne spat. The annoyance on her face was palpable.

Cherry was merely pretending to be a kind woman just so she could win over Kevin's heart. Was it even possible that this type of relationship could last? Could she keep up the pretense in front of Kevin for a lifetime?

"If you don't want any accidents to happen to you and the baby, I strongly advise you to stay away from Kevin. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of your baby."

Cherry glanced at Anne's slightly swollen stomach, viciousness flickering in her eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that Anne was carrying Kevin's child, he wouldn't even so much as look at her. If the child was out of the picture, would Kevin still care about Anne?

Anne defensively clutched her stomach as she leered at Cherry. She had no doubts that Cherry was capable of doing something evil. Thus, she needed to protect the baby.

"Cherry, if you do anything to the baby, I'll make sure you get what you deserve even if it's the last thing I do!" © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Anne's sharp gaze made Cherry a little flustered.

When Cherry gave it more thought, she realized that Anne was incapable and incompetent. What could such a woman really do to protect the baby she was carrying?

"Let's wait and see!" With that, Cherry stalked off. She opened the car door and got in.

Anne tightened her hands into fists, trying to suppress the fury that sprang to life inside her. After a while, she finally got inside the car.

"What were you doing outside? Isn't it too cold out there? If you want to, feel free and go out and soak in all the coldness until you freeze to death,"

Kevin said snidely as he turned to look at Anne who was in the backseat, his eyes narrowed in dissatisfaction. What was the point of lingering outside? Didn't she want to get inside the car?

"..." Anne was rendered speechless.

She couldn't help but be mildly irked at Kevin's comment.

"No, thanks, I already spent three hours outside in the numbing cold. I think that's more than enough,"

Anne snapped back. Anger rose in her as she thought of how merciless he was when he asked her to get out of the cinema room.

The exasperation in her tone was not lost on Kevin. Normally, he would be pissed at this but now, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

If he wasn't mistaken, she sounded resentful. 'Is she jealous of Cherry?' Kevin wondered in his mind. It looked like Anne did care about him.

"What were you two talking about outside?" he asked, his tone emotionless.

Anne glanced at Cherry. When she recalled Cherry's threats, anger churned inside her once more. She opened her mouth, intending to tell Kevin everything but was interrupted by Cherry.

"Nothing. I just reminded Anne to take good care of herself. She's pregnant with your child after all. Naturally, I would be worried."

As Cherry spoke, she shot a malicious glance at Anne's stomach and her mouth slightly curved up in a subtle grin.

Scowling, Anne thought to herself, 'Wow, Cherry's acting skills are out of this world. How brilliant that she could even say something she knows full well she doesn't mean.'

In reality, Cherry was an evil woman who merely pretended to be kind-hearted in front of Kevin. Anne felt a chill run down her spine as she eyed Cherry's pretentious smile.

For the life of her, she couldn't understand how on earth Kevin was able stand her. Well, Kevin did like that Cherry acted innocent and weak in front of him.

"Cherry, I'm so lucky to have such a kind and gentle woman like you," Kevin said sweetly, flashing her a soft smile.

What he appreciated the most about Cherry was her kind heart. She wasn't like most women he knew. More than anything, he needed a good woman like Cherry by his side.

"Oh, Kevin, stop. You make me sound like I'm a saint. Anne's my cousin and the baby she's carrying is yours. Why wouldn't I care?"

A blush tinted Cherry's face, feeling giddy about Kevin's words.

When Kevin wasn't paying attention, she made sure to look at Anne haughtily as if provoking her.

"I'm hungry. Let's eat," Anne suddenly said, unable to bear Cherry's hypocritical attitude any longer.

She, of all people, knew just how vicious Cherry could be yet she was forced to see her pretend to be kind in front of Kevin. It was disgusting.

"Cherry, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Kevin asked as he drove the car steadily. He turned to look at Cherry who was next to him. A hint of tenderness always seemed to cloud his face whenever he looked at her.

"I think I want western food. That western restaurant we went to last time wasn't so bad and we have so many memories there."

"Okay, whatever you want. We'll go there if that's what you want." Kevin sped up, smiling lovingly.

Anne knew that Cherry said that on purpose so she would hear it. She had to constantly remind herself not to let Cherry's provocation get to her. However, the discomfort that was welling up inside her was getting a little harder to ignore.

Since Kevin sped up his driving, it took no time at all before they arrived at the western restaurant that Cherry suggested they eat at.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, the manager immediately greeted them warmly, looking at Kevin with a polite smile.
