Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 121 Commit Suicide

Cherry looked at Kevin, panicked as fear riddled her eyes.

"Kevin, I promise I won't say that again. Don't get mad,"

she stuttered, visibly flustered. She didn't want Kevin to continue what he was going to say.

She couldn't bear to hear him admit that he loved Anne. Once he said it out loud, there was no going back.

She was scared that he would say that he loved Anne and that he wanted her back.

"Cherry, I think I need to tell you something." Kevin looked at her dispassionately; not a trace of pity could be seen on his face.

In the past, he'd felt guilty when she looked at him like this. However, now that he knew that Anne was the woman he truly loved, the guilt had long disappeared. "Kevin, let's eat first. The food's getting cold."

As if she had guessed what he was going to say, she intercepted the conversation. Inwardly, she was utterly frightened.

"Cherry!" Kevin bellowed, frowning. He could tell she was deliberately changing the topic.

What his assistant had said earlier that day was what made him realize that he loved Anne. No matter what it took, he was going to replace Anne and never let her go.

He would do everything in his power to win her back.

"Kevin, please stop. Did you even consider that what you're going to say could hurt me?"

Cherry pleaded, her eyes glistening with tears.

She was willing to wait as long as he forwent what he was about to say. She would patiently wait until he was ready to marry her.

"Kevin, I know you just don't want to get married so soon. It doesn't matter. I can wait until you're ready. I don't even care if we don't end up getting married at all as long as you love me with all your heart." "I want to get Anne back," Kevin said indifferently, averting his gaze.

No one could change his mind. He knew he hurt Cherry but he could just make it up to her.

Her pupils flared, vehemently shocked. How could he say that so easily? What was she to him now?

Wasn't she the woman he loved the most? Why did everything happen so fast? How? Why did he fall in love with Anne? What did Anne have that she didn't?

"Kevin, stop joking with me. It isn't April Fool's day. I don't like this joke, okay? Stop it."

Tears streamed down her face as she gazed at Kevin. The hurt in her eyes was palpable.

"We've been together for quite a while. I won't be unfair to you. You can get whatever you want as compensation." Kevin lowered his head as he eyed her, a trace of reproach flickering in his charcoal eyes. After all, she didn't do anything wrong but that didn't mean that he still loved her. He wanted to break up with her. Any woman would be crushed.

"Kevin, I don't want anything. I just want you. You're my entire world. I just want to be with you."

She wasn't going to deny that she was partly attracted to Kevin because of his wealth and power. However, the compensation he was offering was worlds apart from being his wife. She wanted more. "Cherry, you know me very well. Once I've decided something, I won't change my mind." With that, he stood up and walked away.

As she watched his receding figure, hatred welled up in her heart. This was all Anne's fault. If it weren't for Anne, he wouldn't treat her like this.

"Anne, I won't let you get away with this!" Fuming, she squeezed her hands into fists.

After returning to his bedroom, Kevin called his assistant.

His assistant answered his phone in just one ring,

"Mr. Kevin, what can I do for you?"

"Find out where Anne is in America."

Now that his feelings for Anne were clear, the first thing he needed to do was replace her.

"Okay, Mr. Kevin. I'll get on it," the assistant replied respectfully.

After hanging up the call, Kevin couldn't help but grin. He was excited at the thought of getting Anne back.

How he wished he could see her right now.

Meanwhile, Cherry stood outside the door, eavesdropping. When she heard the call that Kevin had just made, anger spiked through her.

How did his feelings change so easily? He had just broken up with her and he was already looking for Anne. Had he forgotten about his promise to her?

No, she had to stop Anne from coming back. If Anne came back, Kevin would entirely consign her to oblivion, even more than he already had.

In just two days, Kevin already received news about Anne. Thrilled as he was, he wanted to leave for America already so he could get her back.

That morning, the private plane was already waiting for him on the helipad on the roof of the Fu Group. Just as he was about to board, he received a call from the butler. Frowning, he almost didn't answer the call.

"This better be about something important or you're fired."

He was displeased. He wanted to see Anne already so he could bring her back.

"Mr. Kevin, something is wrong. Miss Cherry..." the butler stammered, seemingly anxious.

"What's wrong with her?"

He could tell from the butler's tone that something must have happened to Cherry. Naturally, he was worried.

"Mr. Kevin, I think you need to come home. Miss Cherry said that you were the one she wanted to see," the butler finally said apprehensively.

After hanging up, Kevin glanced at the private plane from a distance. He paused for a moment, deep in thought before deciding to postpone his trip to go home and check up on Cherry. Upon his arrival at the villa, the butler immediately greeted him at the door.

"Mr. Kevin, please go and see Miss Cherry. She insisted on seeing you. I had no choice." The butler looked embarrassed, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"What happened?" Kevin asked, mildly irritated as he strode upstairs.

"Miss Cherry found out that you were going to America to replace Miss Anne today so she cut her wrists, attempting to commit suicide."

The butler still seemed terrified. If he hadn't stopped her in time, Cherry might not be alive today.

"Commit suicide?" At the mention of these words, Kevin's face darkened as coldness enveloped his entire body.

He quickened his pace as he made his way to Cherry's room. When he entered her room, she was lying on the bed, looking weak and frail as the color drained out of her face. "Cherry," he called out her name in concern as he approached her bedside.

While he didn't have feelings for her anymore, he still felt guilty since they were together for so long.

Hearing Kevin's voice, Cherry slowly opened her eyes. When she recognized Kevin, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Kevin." Struggling to sit up, Cherry threw herself into Kevin's arms and held him tightly.

"Cherry, what are you doing? Why did you want to commit suicide?"

Seeing the bandage around Cherry's wrist and the blood seeping faintly, Kevin couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Kevin, please don't leave me. I can't live without you," she choked out, tightening her grip on him. Any man would feel sorry hearing her plead like this.

"Don't do such a stupid thing again."

He couldn't be with Cherry anymore no matter how hard she begged. He loved Anne and he wanted to be with her. The most he could do for Cherry was compensate her as generously as he could. "Kevin, you won't leave me, will you? I'm still the woman you love the most, right?"

she pressed when he didn't answer her affirmatively, sounding neurotic.

"Cherry, I've already made myself clear to you. You're just like a sister to me now."

Kevin was a man who stood by his decisions, and he decided whom he wanted to love. Now he was thoroughly determined to get Anne back.

"Kevin, why? I thought we got along so well. You once told me that I was the only one you would ever love. You told me after you divorced Anne, you would marry me. How did things turn out this way?" Grimacing in pain, she couldn't accept the void that he had left in her heart. She'd done so many things for him but in the end, they were all in vain.

"Cherry, you know that I never change my mind once I've decided on something," Kevin said indifferently, unfazed by Cherry's appeals.

"But what about me? What am I going to do without you? Are you really going to abandon me?"

She clutched his waist, not wanting to let him go.

He kept silent but this spoke volumes.

"Kevin..."

she called weakly. She couldn't believe that Kevin was doing this to her. Frowning slightly, he glanced at Cherry's injured hand and sighed helplessly. "Let's talk about this later. You should focus on recovering." 000000----------
