Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 33 Set Free

"Why?" Anne didn't know what was on Kevin's mind, but how could she not be on her guard when he suddenly said that? She stared at the man in front of her with a serious expression.

Kevin chuckled, "Isn't that what you want?"

"Of course it is." With a smile on her face, Anne added, "But I also know a saying. 'If I get what I want, that will be my luck; if not, my fate.' That's all."

Kevin shook his head, stood up and walked to the bedside. He seemed to be tired and plopped down on the bed. The mattress yielded to his weight, and Kevin found a comfortable posture to sleep in.

"Come here and get some shut-eye. I can't be with you tomorrow."

Kevin's voice was muffled from the quilt, but Anne could hear him clearly. She stood up and walked towards Kevin obediently. She wasn't going to do anything to make him mad. If he was happy, he might make her happy.

Finally, Kevin was willing to set her free.

Lying next to him, Anne felt very peaceful.

She could hear everything, especially Kevin. His breath and heartbeat were so clear that they kept the time like a clock. It was quite soothing.

Anne closed her eyes. At that moment, Kevin was the man she had been longing for, and the man she had been pursuing in her heart. But once some feelings disappeared, they would never again taste as sweet.

That was Kevin.

In the past, she did everything for love. But later, she thought it was stupid.

She curled up and tried her best to clear her mind. But when she had mastered her thoughts, she felt a hand on her belly.

She couldn't help trembling and suddenly opened her eyes.

In front of her was a face so close to her that she could see his pores.

The face that she saw should have made her run wild. In fact, it only made her fearful.

The hand on her abdomen was quite warm.

He looked at her, eyes close to hers. He couldn't remember how many times he had fallen asleep being so near her.

But this time, the feeling was totally different.

The two of them kept silent for a while. Finally, Kevin spoke first.

"Can the baby move?" He moved his hand to different places, trying to feel his child.

It was so strange that there was a new life in this world. He wondered what the baby was doing in there and what it would look like when it came out.

What a strange question! "Yes, it can," said Anne, nodding her head.

Although it was only a month, Anne always felt that there was something inside her. She didn't know if it had moved, but she could feel that there was something there that was connected with her heart.

As long as she was sad, the child would be sad, too.

If she was happy, the baby there would also be happy.

"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"

Kevin curled up beside Anne and slowly approached her with a very serious look.

Anne looked downwards, sadness in her eyes.

"Do you want a boy or a girl?"

A boy meant that Anne would leave the Fu Family. If it was a girl, she still had to stay.

She didn't know what she wanted, but she knew that Kevin wanted a boy. As long as the baby in her abdomen was a boy, they would split up, and have nothing to do with each other from then on.

Kevin glanced at her and said nothing.

Anne smiled. "I hope it's a boy."

"Really?" Kevin withdrew his hand from her belly with a cold expression.

The warmth on her abdomen disappeared. Anne turned over in bed, her back to Kevin.

She closed her eyes, and a tear streaked across her face.

Somehow, she just felt despair. She wanted to cry, but she had no reason. And she couldn't cry if she was not allowed to.

Looking at her lovely slender body, Kevin wanted to hug her. But he thought better of it, and rested his hand by his side.

The woman in front of him was the one he hated. He shouldn't feel anything for her.

When he closed his eyes, the image of Cherry's face came up in his mind.

Yes, that was the one Kevin should be thinking about.

In the private villa, in the brightly lit hall, a fair-skinned man sat on the sofa. He lowered his head slightly, without any expression on his face, and no one knew what was in his head.

"What are you thinking about?"

His assistant Charlie sat beside him and handed him a cup of coffee.

Ryan raised his head and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"What's wrong with you? You look like your thoughts are a thousand miles away."

Charlie had been following Ryan all along. Ryan's current state naturally made him a little worried.

"Nothing." After taking a sip of coffee, Ryan frowned. "It's just that I haven't talked to Anne in forever. I'm a little worried."

Charlie nodded. He knew what Ryan was thinking. Ryan had been obsessed with that woman for many years. Even after he learned she was married, he still wouldn't give up.

"I know what you're thinking, but about the contract, do you really want to wait until she shows up?"

"Yes."

Ryan said, "So no matter what, I have to see her before I come to a conclusion."

"I heard that Kevin has her trapped in a villa. He's forbidden her to go anywhere."

After thinking for a while, Charlie finally told Ryan the news he got a few days ago. He wasn't going to tell Ryan, but it seemed that the man needed to hear it.

"Are you serious?" Ryan was really excited. He frowned and kept silent for a while. Then he said in a low voice, "I'm going to see Kevin."

After saying that, Ryan stood up and was about to go find Kevin.

"No, you can't go now."

This was Kevin's turf. If Ryan fought him man-to-man, he'd end up losing. Charlie couldn't let Ryan take that risk.

"Please calm down and wait."

"Then how long do I have to wait?" He lowered his head and sat down on the sofa. The beautiful face of Anne appeared in his mind. He lowered his eyes, put his hands between his eyebrows and sighed, "Anne, I wonder what kind of life you have had over the past years."

In the morning, when the first ray of sunshine shone on the wooden floor through the curtain, Anne opened her eyes.

The man's steady breath came from beside her, and every organ in her body was nervous. She didn't know when she fell asleep last night, but she never thought that Kevin was with her.

So she slept with Kevin the whole night. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

But nothing happened between them.

She seemed to have a pretty restful sleep, and the man beside her with his eyes closed also seemed to have slept well.

She didn't dare move for fear of waking up the man beside her. Kevin slept beside her. He lay on the bed, his face calm.

There was tenderness and elegance on his angular face that she hadn't seen for a long time. While looking at his slightly unhappy face, Anne wanted to reach out her hand to caress it.

But she thought for a while and gave up.

Turning around, she wanted to get up. Suddenly, he put on a hand on her and said with his unique voice,

"Where are you going?"

She stopped and didn't look back at him. After taking a deep breath, she replied, "I'm getting up."

Kevin withdrew his hand and looked at his watch. "It's only eight in the morning. Sleep with me a little while longer."

Kevin slept great last night and didn't want to get up so early.

Didn't they say that pregnant women were always tired? Why did the woman beside him wake up earlier than he did?

"Okay."

She didn't refuse Kevin's request. In fact, Kevin wasn't that hateful right now. On the contrary, she was somewhat dependent on him.

The two of them lay quietly for a while. Anne stayed awake, while Kevin slept soundly. After a while, she fell asleep again.

At nine in the morning, Kevin stood in front of the French window and put on his clothes. From his point of view, he could see the irregular buildings and the constant flow of traffic in the city.

From the angle of Anne, she could only see the perfect figure of Kevin and his charm in every move.

She wore a black suit with an Armani shirt inside. The tie was sapphire blue, which made him look dazzling.

Anne looked at him quietly. Her heart beat faster and faster when she saw that he was already dressed.

"I ordered breakfast for you. You can eat here. Emily will be along later."

"Emily's coming here?" Blinking her eyes, Anne asked, "Why? Didn't you say that I was free now?"

Kevin turned around and looked at her pure and delicate face with his deep eyes. "I said you were free, but I didn't say I wouldn't care about your safety."

Anne nodded. As long as she could be free, she didn't care about anything else.

"I can't hang out with you today. You can ask her to go shopping with you and head back to the hotel in the evening." Kevin turned around, with his hands in his pockets, and said leisurely, "I'll be back tonight."

"Why do you have to live here?"

It was really awkward for them to be together like this. One night was enough. Now she had to sleep with him a second night. Who knew if tonight would be as peaceful as last night? What if something happened?

"We three need to work on our relationship."

His voice was already fading as he walked out. Kevin left her here along.

He slammed the door. Without any hesitation, Anne stood up, pulled the quilt from her body, and her legs fell to the ground.

From then on, she must seize every minute and second.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

As soon as she got off the ground, someone knocked at the door. Anne asked attentively, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Emily. Anne, are you decent?"

"Just a minute." Anne quickly walked to the door and opened it. The moment she saw Emily, she got very excited. "Emily, you're here. Did you bring your phone?"
