Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 31 Hated

It seemed like nothing in the world could destroy her.

After thinking about it carefully, Anne said rather casually, "Like what you just know, they cast me aside. I was hated and laughed at by everyone."

As soon as she spoke, he laughed. "Then, please tell me how you survived."

He was mocking her, but Anne didn't care, because even she didn't know how she did it.

"I just tried my best to exist in this world."

After saying that, she straightened up and couldn't help but put her hands around her exposed arms. She suddenly missed her mother badly, who had left her so long that she could scarcely remember her. What she looked like, her smile, her warmth...all of that had faded from Anne's memory.

When Kevin heard this, the smile at the corners of his mouth stiffened. He regretted asking that question.

"Then you're living a good life."

He clearly didn't want to hurt her anymore, but what came out of his mouth was still something hurtful. He just couldn't help it.

"Really?" Anne smiled slightly, "A good life? Maybe. Maybe I am."

She owned shares in AN Group, became the vice president of the company, and married the man everyone dreamed of. She must have lived a good life. She was the young hostess of the Fu Family, how bad could she be?

Kevin narrowed his eyes and said, "We won't go back to the East Mountain Villa tonight."

"Why?" Anne turned to look at him, and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

"We're heading back to my house." Kevin stood up, held the steering wheel with both hands, and looked at the river in the dark night. "Anne, take good care of my child and give birth to it. I'll give you everything you deserve."

Every pore in her body was invaded by the cold air. With a smile on her face, Anne replied, "Okay, I promise you I won't do anything to hurt your child."

"Okay. I'll hold you to it." After the engine started, Kevin looked straight ahead as they drove away.

Along the way, Anne kept silent. All she could think about was what Kevin said. She knew that Kevin really hoped that she could give birth to a son as soon as possible, so that the two of them could separate. They would owe each other nothing after that.

Unfortunately, she didn't know if the baby growing inside her was a boy. If it wasn't a boy, would she still have to be with him for a few more years?

She had no idea if she even wanted that.

"Auntie, look! This dress is so beautiful!"

"Yes, you're right."

Selma nodded. She was quite satisfied with the fashion show. Many clothes were so finely made and she considered ordering a few.

"Auntie, you busy tomorrow? If not, how about I go shopping with you?" Cherry adopted a thoughtful look.

Selma was very happy. "Okay, I'd love to buy you some clothes. I know—it's poor comfort for the way you've been treated, but at least it's something."

Cherry knew what Selma was talking about. She was in a bad mood at the mention of it, but she still managed to shove her emotions aside for the moment. "Auntie, I don't need that. I understand everything and I don't care."

"Okay, then," Selma sighed and kept silent.

The two people sitting on the sofa were watching a TV show when a servant suddenly walked over in a hurry.

"Mrs. Selma, Miss Cherry!"

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Shouldn't you mind your manners?"

Selma frowned and scolded the servant severely. She didn't know what was wrong with the servants, always shouting and screaming for no reason.

Seeing that Selma was angry, the servant lowered her head in a hurry and tried not to breathe too loudly.

"Mrs. Selma, Mr. Kevin is back. He..."

"What? Do you mean Kevin's here?" Full of joy, Cherry quickly stood up, excitedly grabbed Selma's hand and said, "Auntie, did you hear that? Kevin's back!"

Before the servant could even finish her statement, Cherry had already run out happily.

"Kevin! Is that you?"

Kevin and Anne had just stepped into the room, and Cherry was there to greet them.

Anne's face showed little reaction, but Kevin was a little surprised. "Cherry?"

The smile on Cherry's face froze. She paused for a bit and said, "Kevin, you're back!"

"Hmm." Kevin nodded, glanced at Cherry and walked inside.

Cherry stood still and stared at Anne. She raised her voice and asked, "Anne, why are you here? Feeling better now?"

How could Anne not understand what she meant? She blinked her eyes and said calmly, "Much better. Thank you for your concern, Cherry."

Cherry forced a smile onto her delicate face. She stepped forward, deliberately approached Anne, and whispered, "What are you doing here? Don't you know you're not welcome?"

"Of course I do." Anne looked back at her without any stir in her eyes. "But Kevin asked me to come. What was I supposed to say?"

"You said Kevin asked you to come here?" Cherry bit her lips and shook her head, "No way. He came here, and you just tagged along."

Anne smiled gracefully.

"Oh really? And why would I do that? Maybe to see how well you two get along?" She turned around and glanced at the direction of Kevin. "Or maybe I came here so you could torture me?"

"You..." Cherry didn't expect that Anne's tongue would be so sharp. She was furious, but she couldn't lose her temper. She raised her hand, held Anne's arm and shouted, "Let me help you in! Be careful!"

Cherry gripped her arm so tightly that Anne frowned and stopped to take a look at her.

Cherry raised her head and glared at her.

She couldn't mess with Anne without disgracing herself, but she could vent her anger secretly.

Anyway, Kevin was back. So Cherry could do everything she could to make time with him, and leave Anne behind.

Secretly tormenting Anne was just icing on the cake.

"Mom."

When he walked over the sofa, Kevin saw Selma and sat next to her. She seemed to be in a bad mood. Seeing that, he asked, "You don't look happy. Who upset you?"

"It's you!" Selma said, glaring at Kevin. "Who upset me? The very idea!" she added. Why did you bring her here? She's pregnant now and should stay at home."

As soon as she looked up, she saw Anne's expressionless face. She couldn't tell what Anne was thinking that made her wear a long face all day long,

She preferred Cherry's smiles, while the sight of Anne just put her off.

Kevin pursed his lips and tried to smooth things over. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Mom, why don't you go to bed?"

"With you acting like this? How can I rest?" Obviously, Selma was not satisfied with Kevin's recent behavior. She sat up straight and said seriously, "Let me tell you, I know the baby is important, but you can't forget Cherry."

Selma seldom cared about his affairs, but today she said so much. It seemed that she really liked Cherry.

Kevin looked up and saw Cherry nearby.

It had only been a few days, but she had lost so much weight. Cherry noticed Kevin's gaze, so she immediately looked up and smiled at him.

A smile like that made Kevin feel even guiltier.

"I know."

Kevin replied coldly, "Mom, I know how to handle my own affairs."

"Really? Do you really know? Because if you did, you wouldn't have brought Anne here." With a disappointed expression, Selma stood up and said, "I'm going upstairs. Clean up your mess. And get Anne out of here by tomorrow. I want her gone by the time I get up."

After casting a disdainful glance at Anne, Selma straightened her chest and went upstairs in noble and elegant steps.

As soon as she walked to the sofa, Anne glanced towards Selma who went upstairs. She knew that Selma didn't like her, but she didn't expect this kind of hate.

"Still feeling okay?" Cherry asked her.

She was pretending again. But it would be rude not to respond. She nodded and smiled. "I feel pretty good. Thank you, Cherry."

"That's good. Have a seat." It looked like Cherry was helping Anne sit down on the sofa, but in fact, she pinched Anne's slender arm hard.

Although it hurt, Anne was still calm. The smile at the corners of her mouth was faint, like she hadn't been affected at all.

"Cherry, you don't have to be so attentive to your cousin..."

Seeing that Cherry was busy taking care of Anne, Kevin waved at Cherry, patted the seat beside him and said in a low voice, "Come sit next to me. I haven't seen you for a few days. How did you lose so much weight?"

"I'm fine!" Hearing that, Cherry was naturally very happy. She sat beside Kevin and then said shyly, "Kevin, why did you suddenly come back?"

Seeing her blush, Kevin felt warm in his heart.

Looking at her shy face, he couldn't help raising her chin slightly. Her smile was charming. Looking at her beautiful lips, he really wanted to kiss her.

But he held back his desire because Anne sat beside him.

"Why did I come? Because I miss you."

Seeing how cutesy they were together, Anne almost vomited. Sure enough, her guess was right. Kevin only came here to see Cherry.

Unfortunately, when she married Kevin, she made an agreement with him—he was not allowed to touch other women while they were married.

So even if the two of them were burning with desire, they couldn't really do any more than looking at each other.
