Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 139 His Wrath

The fiery look in Sam's eyes made Anne feel uneasy all over. She averted her eyes awkwardly. Sam's love towards her was getting more obvious.

"Sam, thank you for what you did today."

After a long moment, Anne broke the silence first. The atmosphere between them made her uncomfortable.

"Why do you thank me? I didn't help you with anything."

Sam felt guilty over the thought that he failed to protect Anne and let Kevin take her away.

"No, you have helped me a lot these days. If you were not by my side, I really wouldn't know how to spend these days. You have been accompanying me and comforting me."

Anne was very grateful of the way Sam treated her. He even put aside his work to accompany her to America and look for her child.

"Anne. I just want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always be with you, take care of you, and protect you. I won't let you get hurt again."

The look in Sam's eyes became intense. After what happened last night, he had already figured it out. He wanted to be more than a friend towards Anne. He had already committed himself to protecting her well and being with her all the time.

"Sam, I really appreciate what you have done for me, so I have always considered you as the most important friend in my heart. Do you understand what I mean?"

Anne quickly clarified what she felt for Sam in the nicest way. She already expected what he was about to say next, so she tried to be clear as much as she could to him. She didn't want to lose their friendship by looking forward to something more than that.

Sam had wanted to tell Anne what he truly felt for her. When he heard her words, his face suddenly turned disappointed. He looked at her sadly.

"Anne, do you really just treat me as your friend in your heart? Nothing else?"

Sam's eyes were filled with pain when he looked into Anne's eyes. His tone was soft and gentle, as if he was afraid of frightening her. He had always been so good towards Anne.

Anne didn't know what to do when she saw the anxiety in his eyes. She didn't want to discuss such matter with him. She had always regarded him as her friend, nothing more, nothing less. In her mind, their friendship would just be ruined if they shared some intimacy with it.

"Sam, I will never let our friendship be ruined, so some things are better left unsaid. I hope you understand clearly the relationship between us. Nevertheless, you will always be the most important friend for me,"

Anne said every word with sincerity and lowered her head. She hoped that Sam would understand her.

Sam was broken into pieces at once. He looked at Anne and smiled bitterly. Although he had already thought that he might definitely be rejected by her when he spoke of his love, he still couldn't help but fantasize about her.

He felt so much pain in his heart. He had no choice but to accept the truth. To Anne, he would always be a friend, just a friend.

"Okay, I know what you mean. I was too impulsive today, sorry."

Even if Sam had hoped for his feelings to be reciprocated by Anne and ended up being rejected, he didn't want to lose their friendship. Besides, it was the only thing he could keep with her.

Anne heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing Sam's response. Fortunately, he didn't continue to talk about his feelings, or she wouldn't know how to refuse him.

Sam had helped her a lot, but she couldn't return anything to him, not even reciprocating his love. For a moment, Anne somehow felt guilty.

"Sam, I'm sorry..." Apart from apologizing for rejecting Sam, Anne didn't know what to say anymore.

"You never need to say sorry to me. It's all my own choice. You don't need to feel guilty for what happened today. We will always be friends, right?" Although his heart was pierced, Sam couldn't afford to blame her. He just hoped for her happiness. In that way, he could be happy at least.

He would not force Anne to love him knowing that she would not be happy in that way.

His words made Anne feel more guilty. She would rather be blamed than to be tolerated by him. The torment in his heart made her feel bad.

"Sam..."

Anne looked at Sam with pity in her eyes. She didn't know how to express her feelings nor comfort him at the moment. She really didn't want to hurt him.

"Well, let's drop this topic. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I'll take you out to eat something."

Sam didn't want to prolong the torment in his heart, so he already initiated to move on to another topic. The guilt in Anne's eyes only made him more sad. He would rather choose to stay the way they were before.

"Okay."

Anne didn't want to talk about it either, so she agreed without any hesitation.

She stood up and walked to the side of Sam.

"Anne, get out!"

Suddenly, there came the furious growl of Kevin, which surprised the two people in the room.

Anne felt a little anxious when she heard Kevin. She didn't want any trouble anymore.

She was nervous with the thought of Kevin coming to make trouble for her. She thought she should get more cautious around Kevin, because he was acting moody and easily angered recently. "I'll give you a minute to get out or I'll burn this house down!"

Kevin roared in so much anger. His aura was very dark and his eyes were more fiery than before.

Sam frowned unhappily after hearing the threatening voice of Kevin. Suddenly, a trace of anger was drawn on his face.

Was this the way Kevin had used to talk to Anne?

Anne sighed helplessly and was about to walk out, but Sam stopped her by grabbing her wrist.

"Don't go. Wait here. I'll go out to have a look."

Anne looked worried when Sam strode out of the room. Based on the tone of Kevin, he seemed to have mistreated Anne all this time. Sam would never allow something like that to happen again now that he was committed to protecting her.

She wanted to go after Sam and stop him, but he had gone far already.

She had no idea of what Kevin might be capable of doing towards Sam, and it made her worry the most.

Sam glared at Kevin when he saw him. At this moment, Kevin was ready to unleash the rage in him. His eyes turned darker when he saw Sam come out.

"Mr. Kevin, what are you doing?" Sam spoke in a cold manner as he walked towards Kevin.

"Where is Anne? Get her out!"

When Kevin did not see Anne anywhere, he felt exasperated. This woman had seemed to learn how to hide from him now. 'Damn it!'

"Anne doesn't want to see you now. Mr. Kevin, you'd better leave now!"

Sam knew exactly what Anne truly felt towards Kevin. Since she didn't want to see him, Sam would not allow him to disturb Anne again.

"She doesn't want to see me? She is my woman. Why you are the one to speak for her?" Kevin tried his best to suppress the anger he was feeling in his heart. "Mr. Kevin, you'd better leave now." Sam looked at him indifferently and tried to sound calm as much as he could.

"Get her out!"

Kevin insisted angrily. Damn it! Did she ask Sam to send him away? What did she think of Kevin? She was still his woman and she had no right to do that!

Anne heard everything from outside and she couldn't help but feel outrageous. What else did he want? He already kept her child from her and now he was causing her trouble. What more? She couldn't stand him any longer.

She had decided to face Kevin with all her might. She opened the door and walked out of the room.

Anger was written all over her face. She threw a cold stare at Kevin.

"Kevin, what the hell do you want? Why can't you let me go and give me peace of mind? When can you stop involving me to your troubles?"

Anne shouted at the top of her lungs. She had endured so much of this man. He had never given her peace of mind. She wondered what else she must do to get rid of him.

"Don't you know what I want? Do I still need to remind you of my purpose?"

Damn it! She even shouted while standing beside that bastard. Didn't she know that he came at Sam's house because he was worried about her? What kind of attitude did she inculcate into herself?

A lot of women were so desperate to be claimed as his woman, but he fell in love with this unreasonable woman who did not even appreciate his feelings. Apparently, he used to hate her, but he felt different towards her now.

"It's impossible for us to be together. I really hope that you stop disturbing my life and let me live in peace, okay?"

Anne didn't want to involve herself with Kevin anymore. She wanted to cut ties with him and gave up with the idea of him changing for the better and letting her see her child.

"Impossible? Did you even get my permission?"

Kevin strode towards Anne. 'This stubborn woman really needs to be taught a lesson,' he thought. How could she say those words over and over again?

Sam quickly stood in front of Anne to protect her when he saw Kevin striding towards her aggressively. He would not let him do anything to hurt her.

"Fuck off!"

Kevin's rage was exacerbated when he saw Sam protecting his woman. He felt really unhappy. Anne made men fall in love with her so easily. It was so unfortunate for him to feel the same as those men. "What if I say no?" Sam looked at Kevin mockingly and showed no fear.

Saying no more words, Kevin punched him hardly on his face, unable to control his rage. Without precaution, Sam staggered and almost fell down.

He was severely bruised and his lip was also wounded. Sam looked with displeasure and felt really bad at that moment. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
