Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 61 Sarcasm

Sam carefully examined Anne, ensuring that the baby was fine. Before he left, he gave her a few reminders to better take care of herself.

When he came downstairs, Kevin was still in the living room.

He nodded at Kevin before leaving.

Kevin ignored him, merely glaring at him.

Since Anne couldn't stand having to deal with Kevin and Cherry's overt public displays of affection, she barely left her room in the villa.

She heard her door open. Smiling slightly, she lifted her head.

"Why are you back? Did you forget something?"

The smile on Anne's face froze as soon as she finished speaking. She was startled to find that it was Kevin who had come and not Sam.

She instantly pulled a long face and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Why are you so disappointed to see me?" Kevin asked, his tone laced with sarcasm and jealousy.

'Why did the smile on her face disappear the minute she realized it was me and not Sam?' Keven thought to himself.

"You know, don't you? What are you doing here? To settle accounts with me? Did your sweetheart act all miserable in front of you again?"

Anne snapped, looking spiteful.

The thought of Cherry framing Anne so she could victimize herself made Anne sick to the stomach.

How foolish could Kevin be to believe Cherry's lame story?

"Do you think all women are as scheming as you are? You'll never be as kindhearted as Cherry!" Kevin said vindictively, glaring at Anne.

He couldn't stand Anne badmouthing Cherry. After everything that had happened, he couldn't believe that Anne would still try to get in between them.

By then, Anne was already used to all the hurtful words that were thrown her way. She didn't even seem the least bit fazed. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Her heart had long been riddled with holes, and she didn't care if he stabbed her with more of these hurtful words. She didn't bother holding out hope for him, anyway.

"If you're not here to make peace with me then please leave. I don't want to see you." Anne's face was expressionless while her tone was stone cold.

"Really? You don't want to see me? Who do you want to see then? Sam?"

He narrowed his eyes, looking haughty. Anne clearly felt the tension in the air.

"It's none of your business! Please get out!"

Anne couldn't help but be puzzled. What the hell did Kevin want from her? Why did he care who she wanted to see? What did that have to do with him?

"None of my business? Anne, don't forget that you're still my wife!"

None of his business? How dare she talked to him like that!

"Once I give birth to this baby, we have no reason to still be in each other's lives,"

Anne said coolly. Her eyes still looked calm, not stirred by what he said.

Kevin clenched his fists, trying to curb his anger.

"That's so only after you give birth. Before that, you're not allowed to associate yourself with any man."

So she wanted to see Sam but not him? Had she forgotten that she was still his wife?

Or was she trying to seduce Sam so she could get married the minute they divorced?

"What right do you have to impose such a rule on me? That's not in the contract."

What was going on with Kevin? Why was he barging into her room just to tell her that she wasn't allowed to talk to other men?

Was he jealous? Impossible. He absolutely loathed her. Why would he be jealous?

He must be out of his mind. That was the only possible explanation.

"It takes effect from now on! Anne, you'd better behave yourself!" Kevin threatened.

His tone was cold and domineering.

He really was taking it too far now.

"Then can I also stop you from talking to Cherry from now on? Shouldn't you also watch yourself?"

Anne raised her head and looked at him brazenly, not wanting to go down without a fight.

He was forbidding her from talking to other men. What about him and Cherry then? He paraded his mistress at home without even bothering to hide it yet he had the nerve to ask this of her. How

shameless!

"Who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourself to Cherry?"

Cherry was Kevin's love and light while Anne meant next to nothing to him.

Anne spoke as if she stood a chance against Cherry.

Sneering, Anne turned away. She couldn't take it anymore.

"Get out!"

She'd never treated Kevin like this before. At that moment, he was the last person she wanted to see.

"Anne, say that to my face again!"

Kevin strode towards her. He pinched her chin and forced her to look into his eyes.

Without resisting, Anne boldly stared him down.

As she looked into his eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. However, this man in front of her was no longer hers.

She was overwhelmed, and tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked her eyes to stop herself from crying.

Kevin's heart ached seeing her like this. Now more than ever, he felt sorry for her.

"Why won't you believe me? Why do you keep torturing me?"

Anne said, her tone exposing her despair. He'd never seen her like this before.

She'd always hoped that even just once, he would believe her. But he never did. He always chose to believe Cherry over her.

Kevin's chest tightened as an array of complex emotions surged inside him. For some reason, Anne's words hit him like a brick, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.

For a while, they held each other's gaze in silence. At this moment, Anne longed for him to say that he believed her. This was all she wanted.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, the image of Anne pushing Cherry suddenly came to his mind. At that instant, his eyes turned cold.

He pushed her away and said snidely,

"Anne, stop acting innocent in front of me. No matter what you say, I won't believe you!"

Flustered as he was and won over by her words, he was almost deceived by her pretense.

An ironic smile tugged at the corners of Anne's mouth.

"Yes, I was just acting pitiful and innocent. I thought you would believe but I didn't expect that your hatred for me ran so deep. You refuse to believe me even if I'm such a good actress."

She felt as if her heart was being pricked by a thousand needles. She was done. There was no use trying to convince a man who hated her to the core.

"Anne, you!"

Kevin growled. Was this damn woman trying to play tricks on him? He couldn't believe he almost fell for her act! What a scheming woman!

Rage seeped inside him along with traces of disappointment. Perhaps, deep inside, he hoped that she wasn't the vicious woman he thought her to be.

"Mr. Kevin, you shouldn't believe anything a despicable woman like me says because anything that comes out of my mouth are lies. Ha-ha!"

Anne taunted, smiling disdainfully.

Kevin was fuming. It was almost as if she was trying to purposely drive him mad.

"Anne, are you trying to get yourself killed?" Kevin gnashed his teeth. If Anne weren't pregnant, he would've hit her already.

"If you're not scared of hurting the baby, go on, do whatever you want!"

Anne shrugged her shoulders, maintaining her composure.

She knew Kevin wouldn't do anything to her for the baby's sake.

She was well aware that the moment she gave birth to this baby, he would get rid of her as if she was day-old bread.

With a loud bang, Kevin hurled the table lamp on the floor.

The sound of glass shattering filled the room as he slammed his fist on the wall, consequently bruising his hand.

Anne was startled. When she saw his injured hand, her heart twitched.

Kevin glared at her, the look on his face murderous.

Hearing the ruckus, Cherry rushed inside. She thought Anne was making a mess and wanted to see for herself what was going on. The last thing she expected was to see Kevin in Anne's room.

"Kevin, what are you doing here? What happened?" She quickly walked over to him, pretending to be anxious.

Kevin kept a straight face, still not saying a word as he fixated his gaze on Anne.

Cherry followed suit and shot Anne a cold look. After a while, she looked back at Kevin once more.

When she finally noticed his injured hand, she exclaimed,

"Kevin, are you hurt? What happened?" Carefully holding his hand, she began shedding tears.

When Kevin felt her hot tears trickle at the back of his hand, he collected himself.

"Don't cry. It's just a minor wound." He gently wiped the tears away from Cherry's face.

"I don't like seeing you get hurt..." Tears streamed down her cheeks.

Kevin was moved by Cherry's concern. Only Anne could see right through her act.
