Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 237 Miscarriage

Anne's voice was as cold as the coldest wind in winter. But before Kevin could say anything, he saw that she had left.

His face darkened in her absence. But hearing Eddy's voice, he turned to the child and said, "Eddy, what your mother said is not true. She loves me, okay?"

But Kevin's voice was uncertain, and Eddy could only reach out his little hand to his father's cheek as if he wanted to comfort him.

Meanwhile, in the old house of the Fu Family, Rose was resting on the thick carpet of the spacious living room.

This was laid out precisely for her comfort. But despite being cared for, Rose was not happy because the person she loved didn't love her back. What was the use of all her efforts?

This made her look and feel terrible.

"What's going on?"

She was browsing the web when she realized that the public opinion was shifting to Anne's favor.

It was said that Anne and Kevin really loved each other, and this was why Ian left the picture voluntarily.

Everything had been different from what she thought.

"Who did it?" Rose asked, trembling with rage.

Worried about her health, the servant beside her asked, "What's wrong, Mrs. Rose? What can I do for you? Here's the bird's nest porridge that you asked for."

"Why do you want me to eat all of the time? Do you think I'm a pig?" Rose knocked over the bowl much to the servant's dismay, but the latter did not say anything and merely tried her best to clean up.

At this point, Rose was looking at the big mirror which was placed there for guests to check their appearances when they met Carl. Seeing herself in the mirror, she realized that she looked horrible.

Since the start of her pregnancy, she was advised by everyone to take supplements. This made her face round and no longer as beautiful as it was before.

She was also wearing maternity clothes paired with flat shoes. Because she didn't put on makeup, her face was plain and now she looked even worse due to the bad mood she was in.

"Why? Why is everything like this?" Squatting on the ground, Rose couldn't help but cry. She held her face in her hands, unable to control her tears.

After everything that had happened, she wished she could just easily give up. But she was not willing to put all of her efforts to waste.

She decided to continue the gamble. She had to take her last shot.

"I will definitely win. I will not allow myself to lose," she told her reflection on the mirror.

Although well-educated, she was a very proud woman. She had done so many wrong things because she had never lost anything and she would never let that happen. This time, her drive to win was as strong as ever.

She quickly made a phone call and said, "I don't care how you do it, just get me Ian's phone number," Rose said with clenched fists.

"Okay," the voice from the other end of the line answered.

Late that night, most of the lights in the East Mountain Villa had been turned off. Only the lights in the rooms where Kevin usually took Eddy to were still on. Kevin was not sure when Eddy would want to play around in the house.

He watched over Eddy with dark circles under his eyes. He felt extremely tired.

Taking care of the little boy in the stroller demanded most of his energy, but Kevin was always willing to spend it on him.

He guessed that Anne also thought the same and that was why she had been competing with him for the child.

"Ahhh!" Eddy reached out a hand and touched Kevin's eyes.

Without thinking, Kevin said gently, "Honey, dad has dark circles under his eyes because of you. We must work together to make mom come back to us, okay?"

Brimming with fatherly love, he held his son's hand in his.

Since the door to her bedroom was slightly open, sounds from the outside came streaming in.

Anne could clearly hear Kevin and Eddy playing. The warm image of a father and son happily spending time together flashed through her mind. Irritated, she kept tossing and turning over her bed.

Still, she couldn't help but fear that Eddy would be taken away.

She worried that Kevin was going to be pushing for an emotional feel and get Eddy's affections, thus increasing his chances of securing full custody of the child.

She was worried that the child would easily get bewitched.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She frowned and didn't know what to do.

At this point, the noise outside suddenly stopped. Anne took a deep breath and decided to go out and take a look.

As soon as she poked her head out of the door, she found Eddy's stroller unwatched. Eddy was lying in it, but he was not asleep.

Anne thought that Kevin could probably no longer stand pretending to be a good father.

Seeing her, Eddy waved his hand affectionately. This warmed Anne's heart. It seemed as if her son still knew who was best for him.

"Baby, do you miss Mommy? I know Daddy was here just now, but Mommy didn't want to talk to him. Mommy hates Daddy the most," Anne said.

Despite hating Kevin with all of her heart, she kept her voice soft and gentle. She didn't want to frighten the child.

"Why are you saying that to our child? Do you want him to know that his parents are not on good terms? Do you want to make him feel sad?" Kevin said as he wrapped her arms around her neck.

"You can talk if you want, but don't touch me or I'll teach you a lesson." Anne spoke through gritted teeth.

With a smile, Kevin whispered to her ear, "I don't want to touch you, but my assistant said that our child is conscious of these things. If Eddy thought that his parents are fighting, it might affect his growth. You don't want our child to have an unhappy childhood, do you?"

Anne suddenly fell silent. As much as she didn't want to admit it, she knew that what Kevin said was right.

"We don't have feelings for each other. You can pretend to be happy when we're together, but you can't cross the line," she said unhappily as she pointed at his hand on her shoulder.

"I know, I know. But Daniel also said that we couldn't lie to our child and that we should spend more time with him. I know that it was difficult for Eddy to not have his mother by his side since he was born, so I think we should often appear together. After all, our son is most important," Kevin replied.

"Don't worry. I won't have other thoughts on you." He smiled as he withdrew his hand.

Anne's heart sank. Although she finally reached an agreement with Kevin, she felt a bit sad and couldn't understand why.

"That's nice. But, Kevin, I want to have my freedom. Please don't interfere with my life anymore, okay?" Anne said coldly.

She hated how he controlled her and kept her from socializing with other men.

This made Kevin feel conflicted. "I don't want to, either. But think about it. If you're seen with other men, people might indulge in gossip. When our child grows up, he's bound to hear of it. What if it hurts him?"

His words amused her. "Who will remember those trifles?" she asked with a mocking smile.

Kevin's eyes darkened for a second. Did Anne just confirm that she wanted to be with someone else?

He would never allow her to do so, but this time, he knew that she would not be threatened. He had to take advantage of her weakness.

"I'm the CEO of AN Group. I'm not afraid of doing what must be done, so listen to me, okay?"

Anne hesitated for a while but eventually nodded in agreement.

Right then, a noise was heard from the outside. Kevin frowned and rushed to the window to take a look.

"Mr. Kevin, they're from the old house. Something bad happened. Mrs. Rose had a miscarriage!" the servant announced anxiously. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Anne felt a jolt of shock in her heart. She looked at Kevin who also looked at her at the same time.

The atmosphere around them suddenly felt cold. Kevin became confused. If his mother knew that he was with Anne, she might make things difficult for him again.

"Go ahead. After all, she's your wife." Anne took Eddy in her arms and turned around.

"I'll just put Eddy to bed."

After hesitating for a second, Kevin held back from saying anything. He would explain everything to Anne in the future. For now, he was afraid that if he kept delaying, someone in the old house would make trouble for him. Should that happen, the situation could be worse and Anne might get hurt.

"I'll go and have a look. But don't tell anyone that I was here today, or you'll have to leave the East Mountain Villa."

After saying as much, Kevin went out.

But he did not feel pressured to hurry. Instead, he took the long route to the hospital. On the way, he spilled a glass of liquor inside the car, which gave off a strong scent.

The strong smell of alcohol clung to his suit as he made his way to his wife.

He knew that Rose should be in the hospital by now.

He dialed her number, but he didn't expect that she would be in Sam's hospital.

As soon as he arrived, he saw her lying on the bed with a pale face. Smelling the alcohol on his clothes, Selma began to scold Kevin, "Don't you have any shame? Rose miscarried and you're still grieving for the loss of that woman. You're despicable!"

"Mom, please don't scold Kevin. It's not wrong to like someone." Even Rose was moved by her own words. Her face turned pale and there was a touch of melancholy in her eyes.

"You can go out now. I'm sure that Rose doesn't want to see you. Just when she heard that you were coming back, she rushed to cook for you and fell down. If only you treated her better, she wouldn't have to work so hard."

Kevin stepped out as soon as Selma finished her words, which angered the old woman even more. Even Rose had a confused look on her face before she finally closed her eyes.

After leaving the ward, Kevin walked all the way to Sam's office.

It was late at night and the hospital was quiet, so Kevin could easily slip into the office.

But the light was on in Sam's office as he was working on his desk. Seeing Kevin, he was not a bit surprised and merely gave a faint smile.
