Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 74 Seducing Kevin

Anne glared at Kevin with discontentment. Gritting her teeth, she took off his coat and threw it at him. Not waiting for his reaction, she turned around and quickly left. As Kevin watched her leave, his lips turned down into a deep frown. However, even though he was displeased with her actions, he made no move to follow her.

Meanwhile, Cherry had been standing in front of the window the whole time, and saw how that little scene played out. As she saw how much Kevin cared about Anne's health, her heart tightened with jealousy. 'No,' she convinced herself. 'He just cares about her because she's carrying his unborn child.' Despite thinking this, she couldn't put her mind at ease.

It went without question that she knew Kevin really well. In the past, she knew that he would never have done such a considerate thing to Anne.

But he had changed a lot recently. Although he had clearly said that he didn't like Anne, Cherry grew more and more uneasy.

Maybe it was because Kevin had told her that he had something important to do, and did not mention the fact that he was actually going to meet up with Anne. If it was indeed just a harmless visit, he wouldn't have the need to hide this from Cherry.

Upon reaching her room, Anne closed the door behind her and tightly clutched her chest. She could feel her heart beating uncontrollably. Even though she was able to be calm in front of Kevin, her emotions were all over the place.

After taking a few minutes to compose herself, she took a deep breath and got ready for bed. Kevin stood downstairs the whole time, leaving only when he saw the light of Anne's room go out. Quietly, he went back to his room, heading straight to the bathroom to freshen up. When he came out, he was taken aback to see a woman on his bed.

Lying on her side, Cherry blushed heavily as she straightened out her lace nightgown. Her big eyes stared up at Kevin sheepishly.

The sight of her made Kevin's heart stop in his chest.

"It's so late. Why haven't you gone to bed? And when did you come to my room?" Kevin dried his hair and casually strode towards her.

"I've been knocking on your door, but you weren't answering. So I let myself in. I decided to lie down here for a bit while I waited for you to finish your shower,"

Cherry said in a soft tone with a seductive smile on her face. The slight flush on her cheeks greatly elevated her charm.

"What's up?" Kevin asked indifferently as he looked away from her.

"Nothing. I just can't fall asleep. I wanted to have a chat with you. Are you getting annoyed by me now?"

Her soft voice rang sweetly in the room as she kept her gentle gaze on Kevin's face.

With a smile of his own, Kevin looked back at her tenderly.

"Why would I be annoyed by you?" After staring into each other's eyes for a few seconds, Kevin withdrew his gaze, the smile on his face slowly fading away. "It's late now," he added in a lower voice. "You should get to bed. I'll just accompany you tomorrow if you want."

Seeing her lying down on his bed actually made him somewhat annoyed. Right now, he wanted to get her out of his room as soon as possible.

Even though he sugar-coated his words, it was obvious to Cherry what he was trying to say. Despite the fact that his tone was gentle, it didn't take much for her to realize that he was trying to drive her away. Tears welled up in her big eyes as she looked at him in dismay.

"Kevin, are you starting to hate me? You didn't have a problem being with me no matter what the time was."

This change in his attitude really made her heart flutter uneasily. If he didn't love her, how else could she possibly get her happily-ever-after with him?

A slight frown appeared on Kevin's lips as he got even more annoyed at her. Still, there was a gentleness in his eyes. Even up until now, he thought that Cherry was the woman he loved the most. "What are you talking about, Cherry? How can I hate you? I like you so much."

He sat next to her and put his arm around her shoulders.

In the past, if she had heard these words from him, she would have been over the moon with happiness. Now, unfortunately, the uneasiness in her heart grew even more.

After seeing his interaction with Anne just a while ago, Cherry was determined not to get the least bit careless.

"You really don't hate me, Kevin?" Raising her head, she looked up at him with uncertainty. The tears welling up at the corners of her eyes made her look so pitiful.

As he saw her like this, the impatience in his heart melted away. After thinking about it, he had to admit that he had really been neglecting her a lot recently.

"When did you become so unsure of yourself? Or is it because you have no confidence about my love for you?"

Kevin's words were as smooth as butter, his eyes as warm as honey. There wasn't a moment that he wasn't gentle with Cherry.

"Of course not. How can I not have confidence in you? I love you so much. Maybe that's the reason why I'm so afraid you'll end up hating me."

With Kevin acting especially loving towards her, she continued her charade and shrank back into his arms helplessly.

Her nightgown rubbed against him. It was thin enough for Kevin to feel the warmth and suppleness of her skin underneath it.

It went without question that Cherry was an attractive woman. Any man would easily lose control and give in to his desires with a woman like her.

Even Kevin couldn't help but swallow and look away restlessly.

"It's a bit cold, don't you think? You'd better put on more clothes."

When he first saw her in his room, he already had a guess or two what her intentions were. Needless to say, he had been trying the entire time not to think about it. Cherry was really a scheming woman. From the way he talked and moved, she could feel that he was getting tense. A small proud smile crept up her lips.

As long as she was able to seduce Kevin like this, she was sure that there was no way he would stop loving her.

"Can you hold me in your arms, Kevin? It feels so nice,"

she said in a low voice, feeling victorious at this point.

However, much to her surprise, he gently pushed her away.

"Cherry, it's getting late. You'd better go back to your room and have a rest. We can talk tomorrow!"

He stood up and walked away from the bed, trying to calm himself down.

Although Kevin was a man with strong self-control, he was still like any other man after all. To be around such a beautiful woman like Cherry and not do anything was impossible.

As she felt that Kevin's desire was getting stronger and stronger, her beautiful eyes flashed with success. Then she raised her head and looked him in the eye. She asked in a surprisingly serious tone, "Kevin, will you marry me?"

For a while, Kevin didn't say a word. Perhaps it was because he didn't know the answer to her question. Or maybe he didn't want to answer it at all. But then he turned around and looked at her with loving eyes.

Just as Cherry began to worry, Kevin finally spoke. "Of course I'll marry you."

Overflowing joy filled up her heart as she heard that.

"I want to be all yours, Kevin. I want to be your woman. My heart and my body belong to no one but you."

Standing up, she hugged onto his arm, leaning her whole body against his as she whispered her words into his ear.

Even though Kevin knew what she was trying to say, he still kept a level head.

"And you will be. Just not right now."

Once again, he pushed her aside. He did not forget his agreement with Anne. Sex was off the table until they finalized their divorce.

Biting on her lower lip, Cherry was surprised to hear his refusal.

She did not expect that he would able to control himself up to this point.

"Why do we have to wait? You already said that you would marry me. Why not make me your woman right now?"

Feeling wronged, Cherry looked at him anxiously. There was no way she was going to let herself be rejected like this. No one had ever rejected her as much as he had just done now.

"I made an agreement with Anne that I won't sleep with you before we have our divorce."

In truth, there was something else stopping Kevin from having sex with Cherry. He just didn't know what it was. Despite this, he didn't want to hurt her feelings. Using his divorce agreement was just an excuse. "Come on, Kevin... I won't let Anne know about it. I know you are a person who keeps your promise, but I don't want much. I just want to finally be your woman. Can't you do this for me?"

As tears streamed down her face, Cherry lowered her head in disappointment. Her voice broke in sobs in childlike manner. The sight of her sorrow made Kevin's heart tremble in despair. "Cherry, let's talk about this some other time please. It's late now. Go back to your room and get some rest."

Sighing helplessly, Kevin held her in his arms, and rested his chin on her head.

He had made it clear that he would not betray his agreement with Anne.

It was his belief before that Cherry would respect his decision. He had no idea how determined and desperate she was this time.

Before he realized what was happening, Cherry suddenly raised her head and kissed his lips.

Completely in shock, Kevin's mind went blank. Cherry had always been reserved in his mind, and he never expected that she would do such a thing.

For a split second, he was upset at her move.

But it didn't take long for him to give in. Closing his eyes, he held her tightly as he kissed her back with passion.
