Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 144 Being Stuck

"Mr. Kevin, what do I have to do for you to get out of here? This is my house and I don't want to see you here!"

Anne cautioned and looked daggers at the man who sat across her.

He got more shameless and she couldn't bear it anymore. However, the man remained still.

"I'll stay here until you come with me,"

Kevin insisted with an unruly smile on his lips as his eyes burned with determination. All he wanted was for this woman to finally return to him and be his woman once again. "No way!"

Anne refused without hesitation. She believed that the man was just trying to joke with her. She had already rejected him and tried to make everything clear. It was not her fault that the man wasn't able to comprehend her rejection.

"Since you don't want to leave with me, maybe it's time for me to move in and live with you."

Kevin sat comfortably and pulled Anne's breakfast towards him before he began to eat.

The woman got furious at his rude behavior. What exactly did he wanted to do?

"Mr. Kevin, that's my breakfast! Give it back to me!"

she warned. She prepared a breakfast that took her a long time to cook but the man dared to take it and he ate it shamelessly. Kevin ignored her and continued to gulp his food down.

"I'm hungry, too." He glanced at Anne with a childish look and continued to eat.

He ate sumptuously because the taste of the food he'd been missing all along was right in front of him. It didn't change at all.

"If you're hungry, then cook for yourself. Didn't you ask your secretary to bring you your breakfast? Now that you've eaten mine, what am I supposed to eat?"

Anne glared at him. She was hungry and frustrated at the man's behavior. She could do nothing at his antics and that only made her more upset.

"Just wait for my secretary to arrive and you can have my breakfast. If you prepare a single dish for breakfast in the future, I'll be the one to eat it and you can have mine that my secretary will prepare," he proposed. He already knew that the woman would do anything and make him feel unwelcomed. He already knew that, after all, they had been together once for a long time.

Several thoughts ran through her mind. A lot of them confused her but mainly she wanted to know by what logic he thought that he could eat her breakfast while she had to eat the breakfast sent by his secretary? Why bother taking so much trouble?

"But why would I do that?"

she asked as she creased her forehead. All she wanted right now was peace of mind that she could only get if the man left her alone. For a moment, she considered looking for a new house. She wasn't stupid, though. She knew what Kevin was capable of and no matter where she went, he would always end up replaceing her. So she just gave up the idea with a sigh.

"If you don't want to eat take-out food, then go ahead and cook for two."

A smirk flashed across his lips accompanied by his cunning eyes. The woman's mind was so simple that he could read it through easily.

Soon enough, she realized that she had been set up. She could only frown because she just didn't know how to win over this man.

She glared at him and cursed him in her mind. There was nothing that could be done.

Kevin smiled triumphantly because he won. He knew from the beginning that the woman would have a hard time to break off the relationship with him.

"I already told you, Anne. You're the only woman in my life. You can't run away from me!"

he declared. Determination surged within his heart and he knew that this time, he would not give up. He was a man who would do everything he could to get what he wanted.

She threw him an icy look and rolled her eyes before she strode towards her room.

Kevin smiled at the helpless and angry look on her face. He must think of ways that could make the woman come back to him willingly.

Anne sulked in her room accompanied by a hungry stomach. She considered going outside to cook but whenever she thought that Kevin was outside, she would quickly dismiss the idea. She would rather stay starving than see him.

She didn't know when the man would leave or if he really had planned to stay with her for a long time. She didn't know which one to believe.

Time had passed and any sound outside her room had died down. When she thought that Kevin got bored and left, she stood up abruptly.

She opened the door and poked her head out then scanned her surroundings. However, before she could see everything clearly, the low and sexy voice of Kevin resonated in the premises.

"What are you looking at? Are you always sneaky even in your own home?" Kevin stood not far from her with an amused look on his face.

He found the woman's behavior cute, much cuter than her long face.

Startled, Anne looked at the source of the voice. His handsome face appeared in her line of sight. He leaned lazily against the wall with a teasing look in his eyes.

When she realized that the man had found her out, she dropped her sneaky posture and stood up straight.

"Why are you still here? What should I do to make you leave? Mr. Kevin, this is my home!"

she bellowed at him. How could this man unashamedly stay in her house uninvited for so long?

"You're my woman and it is only right that your home is also mine. Isn't it normal for me to be here?"

he asked and acted innocently that made the woman huff in frustration.

"When did I become your woman? Don't you have a good memory? We are nothing but strangers! More precisely, familiar strangers!"

she yelled exasperatedly. Their relationship had long ended so why was he doing this? He completely ignored her reminders every single time. She didn't know if there was something wrong with him or if he had amnesia. Whatever it was, she wanted him out of her life.

"Only familiar strangers? Do you think that's all we are?"

His aura darkened and his eyes turned cold.

'This woman really knows how to tick me off!

Damn it!'

"Isn't it true?"

She looked at him bravely. It wasn't only anger anymore that she felt inside but also hatred towards him. The man had hurt her enough and she realized that she should never come back to him again.

"I don't know. But have you forgotten that I slept with you two days ago? Did I not work hard enough that you had forgotten about it so soon?"

They had done the most intimate thing that a man and woman could do. He was furious because Anne completely ignored that fact and claimed that they were merely familiar strangers. 'How could she consider and call me a stranger?' he thought.

Blood rushed to her face after she realized what Kevin had meant. She didn't know if it was because of anger or because she was shy.

"We are already adults. Even if we slept together, that doesn't mean we have something to do with each other. I don't get your logic. If I slept with other men, does that mean I am their woman?" she said sarcastically with disdain for his unjustified possessiveness towards her.

His face darkened once again as he clenched his fist. 'How could she think of sleeping with other men? Who would dare to touch his woman? Damn it!' he cursed inwardly.

"I dare you to repeat those words! If any man dares to sleep with you, I will kill him!"

His eyes burned with a cruel and evil light. There was a hint of desire to kill across his orbs.

Kevin was sure that he could kill anyone that would touch his woman. He wouldn't even think twice.

Anne's heart trembled with fear and panic when she saw that he was being serious with his words.

"Stop being unreasonable, Kevin! Even if I sleep with another man, it should have nothing to do with you!"

This man was too domineering. She realized with this man being like this, she might not be able to replace another man and she would end living alone for the rest of her life.

She tried to grasp his logic. She just couldn't understand the turns of his mind. It was unreasonable of him to control her life. After all, their relationship was over. The last thing that she wanted was to have anything to do with this man.

"Have nothing to do with me? Do you really think that just because you said that means I would really do nothing?"

Anger was contained within his eyes and he felt the need to beat this woman up. However, he was reluctant to do so as he loved her.

He was so furious that he didn't know what to say while Anne decided to just shut her mouth and went inside her room instead. She was about to close the door but he quickly stopped her.

"Are you going to lock yourself in your room and starve to death?"

The woman had not eaten breakfast and he was worried that she would collapse in hunger. 'Is she trying to test how long she could last?' he thought.

"I'm already full at the sight of you,"

she answered. It was true. She was full of anger. Whenever she saw this man, anger exceeded her limit. She wasn't even aware of how and when she started to have a bad temper.

"Oh? Is that so? Do you want to save food for me in the future? Although you might not need it because as you can see, I am very capable of supporting your life,"

he bragged. 'Did she really want to starve?' Even if she was so angry, she shouldn't do such things. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
