Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 104 Going Abroad

"Miss Cherry, save your words. You just want me to deal with Anne, don't you? Unfortunately, I won't listen to you this time. I will definitely avenge my sister. Mr. Kevin has promised me that once the child is born, Anne will be at my mercy and he will never interfere!"

Since the woman was being protected by Kevin, Alan could not avenge her sister yet. If he really hurt that damned woman, he would also have a hard time.

Cherry didn't expect him to be so firm in his decision this time. He ignored every word she had said and that made her even more anxious.

"Mr. Alan, if Kevin falls in love with Anne, do you think that even if she gives birth to the child you will still have the chance to get back at her?"

She tried to persuade him as hatred dominated her heart.

"What do you mean by that?" Just as she had predicted, Alan's tone changed on the other end of the line after he heard her.

"I said, if Kevin fell in love with Anne, he would protect her even after the baby was born. If that happens, then it would be impossible for you to avenge your sister. That's why you should get rid of her, as soon as possible."

There was no need for her to deny the truth this time. If she didn't tell him the truth, Alan would never help her.

There was a few seconds of silence in the other end of line. Her shoulders slumped when she thought that he might not cooperate, but a sliver of hope emerged when he spoke.

"Do you have a good plan in mind? Is there any way to make sure that Anne will pay for what she did?"

His ultimate goal was for Anne to pay a heavy price. He would have a hard time avenging his sister if Kevin fell in love with that insufferable bitch.

"Now that you have agreed to cooperate with me, let me be in charge. I will make a careful plan, and this time, I won't fail."

A vicious cold light glinted in her eyes. It made her look completely devoid of emotion. This time, she was definitely getting rid of Anne once and for all.

"I see. I'll wait for your further instructions. I hope, you won't let me down this time!"

After he dropped the call, Cherry put on a wicked smile. 'Let me see if you've got your lady-luck this time, Anne.'

The pregnant woman woke up the next morning and found Emily sitting on her bed. Her eyes widened at the unannounced appearance of her friend. "Emily, what are you doing here at this hour? Do you need anything?" she asked in concern when she noticed that her friend didn't look well.

"You're awake! I thought you would sleep until noon,"

Emily bantered instead of answering her question.

"I've been sleeping a lot recently. By the way, what brings you here?"

"I just wanted to say goodbye. I'm planning to study broad, so I won't be seeing you for a long time," Emily said after some hesitation. She could barely look at her friend in the eye.

Anne had a moment of consternation and reluctance. She sounded anxious when she spoke. "You're going abroad? Why is it so sudden?

I've never heard you mention this before."

"I made that decision in the spur of the moment. I realized that I'm still incompetent when it comes to my work, and I figured that I can enhance it abroad. That's why I can't be your assistant from now on. Not yet, at least."

Emily looked past the window with a bothered look on her face. She swallowed the lump on her throat and tried to hold back her tears.

"You're acting a bit strange today. Are you hiding something from me?"

Anne narrowed her eyes and asked. She couldn't help but be suspicious of her friend's unusual attitude.

Emily used to have a carefree personality. Every time she had to make a decision, she would consult Anne first. The fact that she told her this after she decided she was leaving was strange.

"No, I'm not hiding anything. I just wanted to bid you goodbye before I leave."

Tears welled up in Emily's eyes, but she held them back.

Anne was embraced with sadness when she saw the reluctance in her eyes. She had known Emily for a while now, and she was like a sister to her. She couldn't bear the thought of being away from Emily for a long time.

But she didn't want to be selfish. She was well aware that there would be a lot of opportunities for her if she studied there.

"You'll come back, right? Let's just work together when you get back!" A sincere smile spread across her lips. She gave a heartfelt hug for Emily as she tried her best not to cry.

"I will, but please, do me a favor. While I'm away don't let yourself get hurt again."

She knew that once she left, there would be less danger for Anne. However, she was worried because there was someone in the villa who would do everything in her power to hurt Anne. Anne was too kind compared to that vile woman, Cherry.

"Don't worry about me. I'm a grown woman, I can handle myself. You must take care of yourself once you get there. Don't forget to call me often, alright?"

There was a gentle tug in Anne's heart when she sensed how worried her friend was for her. Even though she would be in a foreign land soon, Emily still worried about her.

"Don't worry about me! I'm a strong and independent young woman. I can definitely take care of myself!" To make sure Anne wouldn't worry so much about her, Emily made a promise.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go downstairs and eat breakfast. You went here so early. I'm sure you haven't eaten anything yet." Anne got out of her bed and got dressed. After that, she looked at Emily gently and led her downstairs.

When they arrived in the dining area, Kevin and Cherry were sitting at the table already.

The two sat side by side and the maid quickly served their breakfasts. Emily took this chance to throw a strange look towards the man.

The atmosphere was a little weird and suffocating. After she sat down, Cherry recalled what happened this morning and sneered at Anne.

"Anne, did you know that this morning..."

"Cherry, this is your favorite salmon. You should eat more,"

Kevin interrupted her by putting a piece of salmon on her plate before she could finish her sentence.

His sudden gentleness was a pleasant surprise to Cherry, but then she quickly realized that it was to prevent her from telling her cousin what happened this morning. "Thank you, Kevin!"

She gave a chaste kiss on the man's cheek, looking happy. Cherry was more intimate towards Kevin now that she knew that Anne could see everything.

Anne maintained a blank expression even though she was fuming because of what she witnessed.

On the other hand, Emily didn't hide her hostility and disgust towards Cherry. She glared at her with sharp eyes full of disdain.

This woman was really good at acting. She deliberately displayed a gleeful expression in front of Anne.

"I'll drive you to the airport after breakfast, Emily." Kevin raised his head and said after he ignored Cherry's supposedly sweet act.

"Thank you, Mr. Kevin." Emily quickly retracted her gaze from Cherry, and lowered her head to agree.

"I'm coming with you!"

Emily was leaving soon. Anne had no idea how long it would take before she would see her again. The least she could do was to see her off at the airport. "No way! The airport is way too far. You're pregnant. You're not supposed to get tired. I'll send her off alone,"

Kevin refused without hesitation. His tone was cold and domineering.

"I'll be fine. She'll be gone for a long time. I want to send her off,"

she explained in a low voice as she looked at Kevin's domineering countenance.

"I said, you can't go and that's final. Just stay here in the villa and don't go anywhere!"

This damned little woman. Did he not make himself clear enough? He had said that she wasn't allowed to go, and she still insisted on coming.

"It's alright, Anne. You're pregnant and it would be a long drive. Just stay here, I will call you when I get to the airport,"

Emily persuaded her determined friend.

Anne looked at her with confusion. She was acting really strange today. If this happened in the past, she would've pestered Anne to send her off. Now that Anne took the initiative to send her off, she didn't want Anne to go.

"Alright, just make sure to call me as soon as you arrive." She dropped the subject and didn't insist anymore. She just lowered her head in disappointment.

"Since you're going abroad, I should give you something. Wait for me, I'll go get something from my room."

Kevin's eyes darkened after Anne went upstairs. He looked at Cherry next to him and said coldly,

"Without my permission, you're not allowed to say anything to her regarding what happened this morning. Emily will be the one to admit that it was her fault that Ruth fell down the stairs, and it had nothing to do with Anne."

Kevin was displeased because of Cherry's loose tongue. She almost told Anne what happened this morning.

Since the little woman was pregnant, he didn't want her to get hurt. Not now, not ever. He wanted to protect her.

Cherry looked at him in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Kevin had asked Emily to take the blame just for her cousin's sake.
