Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 137 One-night Stand

"I want Anne back." Sam's voice was colder than the arctic regions as he spoke with Kevin on the phone.

The thought of Anne by Kevin's side made him uneasy. He believed that she would never come back with Kevin willingly. There was nothing else that she wanted more than to cut her ties with that wretched man once and for all.

"Do you truly believe that you could steal my woman?"

As if he had heard some joke, Kevin's lips evoked a mocking sneer, but the coldness of his eyes grew even sharper.

Was this an indication that he would not back down? Did Sam really think that he could take Anne away?

"I won't know unless I try," Sam said with his baritone voice, carrying a strong sense of determination in his eyes.

If Anne really didn't want to be with Kevin, then he must take her back at all costs.

"You're welcome to try if you think you can take her."

With a snort of disdain, Kevin hung up the phone directly. Sam wanted to snatch Anne from him, but it depended on whether he had the ability.

In the morning, when Anne went downstairs, there were two big dark circles under her eyes. She obviously didn't get any sleep last night.

"Look at you! Have you been up all night?"

Kevin's eyes narrowed at her, looking at her pale face and sunken dark eyes.

"You don't need to worry about it. It's none of your business," She replied without even glancing at his direction.

A frown creased his forehead. He gritted his teeth in anger as he stared at her.

"You still haven't learned how to speak with courtesy. Didn't I teach you enough last night?" Kevin reprimanded Anne for her manners and thought, 'Damn it! How dare she talk to me in such a tone?' "Don't you have anything better to do than to threaten other people? Kevin, do you realize how cruel and ruthless you are? You only make me hate you more!"

Anne retorted confidently instead of getting intimidated by his infuriated look. She looked at him and remembered the horrid events from the previous evening. A trace of hatred surged in her heart.

Cruel? Ruthless?

How dare this woman use these two words on him?

"Anne, don't be so ungrateful! Why do you keep on testing my patience?" Kevin said with a straight face.

He stared at her with scorching eyes.

She was ungrateful? It was this man who always made things difficult for her, and he dared to label her as ungrateful? Anne smoldered within her thoughts. She could not understand what made the man standing in front of her so cruel. She could not fathom how someone could be so inhumane as to use people's weaknesses against them.

"I'm leaving," Anne declared firmly.

At this point, she was sure that the child was not here. Since she could not see the baby, she had no reason to stay.

"Where do you think you're going?"

He stared at Anne bitterly with his gloomy eyes. 'It had only been a night, but this woman could not help missing Sam?' Kevin thought.

"It has nothing to do with you. I am under no obligation to tell you where I'm going!"

'Are you kidding me? Why should I tell you where I am going?' she shouted in her head. Now that both of them had terminated their agreement, she didn't want to listen to him anymore.

"Are you saying that it is none of my business? You are my woman. Where you go is my concern." Kevin chewed his words out, holding onto the last bits of patience he had.

"Mr. Kevin, I think you've misunderstood our relationship. The two of us have nothing to with each other anymore. If we count what happened last night, it can only be regarded as a one-night stand." The man was too narcissistic. She would never agree to be with him if it weren't for the child.

"What's our relationship then? Tell me, Anne!"

As he clenched his fists, blue veins burst on the back of his hands. Kevin felt that he was about to lose control of his emotions. This damn woman said that their relationship was only a one-night stand. She was getting on his nerves!

"Am I wrong? It was nothing more than a one-night stand, wasn't it?"

One-night stand. She felt repulsive as she heard the words come out of her very own mouth. She had thought that if he got what he wanted, she could see the child, but this man obviously didn't want to let her go so easily.

"Then what are you? A prostitute?" Kevin blurted out. 'This damn woman actually said that their relationship was a one-night stand!'

A Prostitute?

Anne heard his words and her heart trembled with fury. This man's accusation was degrading to hear. When did she become a prostitute?

"If I am a hooker, then what are you doing? Whoring around? Mr. Kevin, you are insulting me as well as yourself."

When this wretched man insulted her, he insulted himself by extension.

"If you think so, then it must be true, right? Well, since I'm a whoremonger, and I don't mind paying you a few more times, Anne will you stay? I'd be happy to pay."

Since she was vigorous to define their relationship as a one-night stand, he didn't mind doing it a few more times. He could even do it with her for a lifetime.

Was this man out of his mind?

How could he say such a thing?

"You're disgusting!" Anne screeched.

She cursed him under her breath. She did not wish to see Kevin ever again. She couldn't wait to get up and leave. There was no way she could stand looking at him for longer than a second. "Where are you going?"

Seeing that she was about to leave, his black eyes burst in anger. 'This damn woman always ignores me like this,' he murmured in exasperation.

"Does it have anything to do with you, Mr. Kevin?" Anne stood up with a challenging tone in her voice.

Making her way out, she was pissed at the audacity of this man. Did he think she was obligated to tell him where she was going? Who did he think he was?

"Do you think it has nothing to with me? Do you want to get out of here?"

Kevin stood up and squinted his eyes, exuding a dangerous glint.

Why was she so eager to leave him? She did not want to stay with him for even a minute. Was she that disgusted of him?

"Yes, I'm leaving now. I don't want to see you from now on!"

If she stayed with this man, she would only end in his bed. She was not a fool. She would still not see her child's face, so why bother staying just to suffer at his hands?

"Never see me again? Do you think it's so easy? You are my woman, and you cannot leave me as you please!"

Kevin tried his best to hold back his anger, but his black eyes were flaring. Why did she want to escape him so much?

Anne squeezed her fists. She felt that she was about to get carried away by her emotions. He was simply too much for her.

Not wanting to say another word, she stormed out.

Kevin stood up to chase her, but his phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, his eyebrows wrinkled unpleasantly. A trace of irritation flashed in his eyes. "Hello, Kevin..."

Cherry's chirpy voice came from the other end of the line.

"Is there a problem?"

Kevin answered the phone with a sense of frustration. He stared at Anne as she was getting further away from him.

"Kevin, are you still in America? When are you coming back?"

Cherry sounded rather cautious. Perhaps she was afraid of upsetting him.

"Well, what is it? What's the matter?"

At the same time, when he received a call from Cherry, he became a little unhappy. Because of a stupid phone call, Anne was getting farther and farther away.

"Kevin, when will you come back? I miss you..."

Cherry hesitated for a long time until she finally said it.

Kevin had been in America for several days, but there was no news of him at all. She was worried that he was already with Anne.

If it happened in the past, Kevin would feel sorry for Cherry when he heard her distressed voice. But this time, he felt nothing more. "Cherry, we're no longer together. Don't say that kind of thing anymore."

He knew that deep down, Anne didn't like Cherry to be around him. If he wanted Anne to be back with him, he had to resolve her concerns.

He did not have the heart to hurt Cherry. After all, she had done too much for him. But now, all he could think of was Anne. He did not want any other woman except her. Kevin felt that he was going crazy. His words made Cherry's eyes darken, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Kevin, are you going to keep treating me cold-heartedly? Have you completely forgotten about us? You used to love me so much, when did you become like this? Am I not good enough for you? Tell me!" She was feeling extremely dejected. She had lost everything she worked hard for. After everything she did, she was left empty-handed, in need of the love and care she always yearned.

"Cherry, I have told you everything. There is nothing left between us. All I want now is Anne,"

Now there was only one woman in his heart, and he did not want anyone else.

Cherry was muted. The kindness in her eyes was swallowed by the deep clouds of animosity for Anne.

'I hate Anne so much! If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have ended up like this. Kevin and I would still be together right now if she hadn't interfered,' she shouted in her head. "Kevin, have you forgotten the promise you made to my mother? You vowed to take care of me for the rest of my life. Do you really have the heart to abandon me?" With a trembling choked voice, Cherry steeled her heart and confronted Kevin.

Hearing Cherry mention her mother, Kevin was moved. He was still very grateful for her mother's life-saving grace, but he was reluctant to be with a woman he didn't love. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
