Attracted By My Ex-wife Chapter 71 Fire and Ice

Anne knew Selma was gone, but that didn't help her mood any. Despair, melancholy, they threatened
to suffocate her. She decided to go outside and get some fresh air.

She had to get out of the villa. The only things it had to offer her were hostile vibes and despondency.

She put on a coat and tiptoed downstairs. When she walked out of the villa, she felt like she had just
walked out of a cage. Even the air tasted free.

"Kevin, did I do something to piss you off? You seem a little distant lately."

After thinking about this for a while, Cherry raised her beautiful eyes, hurt reflected in them. She was
very uneasy now. She was really worried that Kevin did not love her as much as before.

As he heard Cherry's sad words, a trace of impatience flashed in Kevin's black eyes, but there was a
hint of heartache there.

"Cherry, what are you saying? How could you make me angry? You've always been the most thoughtful
woman. You have a special place in my heart," Kevin answered softly, pinching her cheek.

There was a faint smile in his black eyes, but it wasn't from deep in his heart.

Although Cherry got the answer, she was still troubled. She looked him directly in the eye and asked
again,

"So why do I still feel bad? It seems like you've been closed off to me for awhile. Kevin, don't you love
me anymore?"

She gave him a pitiful look, and the tears in her eyes made her seem lost in the depths of despair.

When he saw her like this, his heart softened completely.



"Why wouldn't I love you? You've always been my one and only. But I have a lot on my plate now.
Running the company takes all my time. I'm sorry if it feels like I'm ignoring you. After things settle
down we'll take a trip to travel abroad, okay?" Kevin said in a quiet, magnetic voice.

He pulled Cherry into his arms and put his chin on top of her head.

Holding his waist greedily, Cherry didn't want to let him go. She remembered how he acted around
Anne, and there was fear in Cherry's tone.

"Kevin, I really love you, and I'm afraid of losing you. I know you hate to see me like this, but I really
can't help thinking this way."

When Cherry said this, she couldn't stop herself from bursting into tears. Feeling the hot tears, Kevin
lowered his head and wiped them away.

"Don't overthink it. You just need to know that you're the only woman in my heart. You are my
sweetheart."

He gently touched Cherry's nose. His voice was full of tenderness.

Every time he saw Cherry like this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

But she knew just how to play Kevin just like a fiddle. She wanted him to feel guilty for ignoring her.
That was why she acted like this.

"I know you won't let me down, Kevin. We'll always be together, right?"

She looked up at Kevin, her beautiful eyes full of nervous expectation.

"I won't let you down." After saying this firmly, Kevin held her tightly in his arms again.

It was not until quite a while later that they separated...



"Cherry, I have work to do. You can go to your room and get some sleep."

Although he had another woman in his arms, he couldn't help thinking about how Anne was doing. He
wondered if she were still angry about what happened tonight.

Although he cared for Anne, he always told himself that he cared about her only because of the baby
she carried.

"I get it. You're busy. So go ahead and get that done. I'm going to bed,"

Cherry said this amiably, reluctant to leave his arms. She kissed his cheek before walking off.

After Cherry left, Kevin felt like a great burden had been lifted from him. The gentleness in his eyes
disappeared quickly.

He wanted to go to check Anne, but he gave up the idea because of what had just happened. He kept
telling himself that the woman he loved most was Cherry. He couldn't make Cherry feel uneasy
because of Anne.

No matter how much he tried to push it away, the restlessness in his heart did not disappear. It was late
at night, but he wasn't tired at all.

When he came downstairs, an icy wind blew and Anne's face flashed through his mind.

He must be crazy, otherwise why would he always think of this woman?

He looked out of the villa and saw a familiar figure. Anne walked along the sidewalk, alone, outside the
villa.

Frowning, Kevin felt a little annoyed.



It was so cold outside, but this woman braved the winds and winter chill. Didn't she know she was still
pregnant? Did she know how to take care of herself?

Kevin strode toward Anne, determined to teach this little woman a lesson.

"Anne!" he shouted angrily behind her.

Anne smiled bitterly. 'I must be hearing things. That sounds like Kevin? Has the cold gotten to me?

It's so late. Why would Kevin be calling out to me? He should be with Cherry.'

His mother got so angry because of her. He had to show her who was boss.

But Anne didn't even turn her head. That just made Kevin even moodier. Was she just ignoring him?

"Anne, can you hear me?"

Kevin frowned and said this in a much colder tone. He just called the woman, but she pretended not to
hear him. She was impossible.

When Anne heard Kevin's voice again, she was sure that she wasn't hallucinating. It was really him
calling her name.

She turned around and saw Kevin giving her a dirty look. There was anger in his gaze.

"Why are you here?" Anne said. Her peaceful mood was shattered by his arrival.

"I should ask you the same question. Why aren't you in bed?" Kevin asked coldly.

He wasn't about to answer her questions.



The temperature was low at the time. But she was dressed in a blouse and leggings. Her outfit might
be comfortable. But it still didn't offer much protection from the cold. She really didn't know how to take
care of herself.

His tone was hostile, and Anne frowned when she thought of it. Was he here to get even with her for
offending his mother?

As she thought of this, the expression on her face became colder and her gaze turned positively arctic.

"I'm out for a walk. It's late. You here to get even or what?" Anne worked to keep her voice calm.

"Get even? What are you talking about?" He looked at her in confusion. Regardless, his tone was
unpleasant.

"Didn't you come to yell at me about what happened with your mom?"

Looking at Kevin with uncertainty, Anne was surprised that this man could let that slide so easily.

Kevin realized what she meant and got even more upset.

"Really? Is that how you think of me? That's between you and her. Why would I bother to make trouble
for you because of such a trivial matter?" He suppressed his anger, and kept his tone even.

"You lay into me about everything else. Why not now?" There was mockery in Anne's tone and scorn in
her black eyes.

She was right, at least from her point of view. He was vengeful, and a control freak. And it only took a
word from Cherry to get him to berate Anne. Why wouldn't she think he'd do the same now?

Of course, Kevin could hear the irony in her words. His chest rose and fell rapidly as he tried to contain
his rage. It took him a lot of effort to fight the impulse to hit this woman.



"Go ahead, say that again!" Kevin greeted his teeth, and his eyes turned intensely cold.

"Since you didn't hear me clearly, forget it. It's getting late. I need some sleep."

She didn't fear his anger. Her tone remained calm. She wondered if that might annoy him more. The
pregnant woman made to leave.

Kevin stood in front of Anne and looked down at her with his dark, treacherous eyes.

"Did I say you could leave?"

His voice was horribly distorted, thick with anger and grief. His stare might be colder than a two-dog
night, but his rage was white hot. This woman dared to talk to him like that. She was courting death.

"What is it now?" Feeling his anger, Anne was a little flustered in her heart, but she kept up a defiant
facade.

He had hurt her too much. She wasn't going to give in to him now.

"I'm in a bad mood. I want you to take a walk with me," Kevin said indifferently.

"I think you'll have more fun if you invite Cherry along. Isn't a walk with your sweetheart better than
walking with me?"

Anne refused without hesitation. She didn't want to take a walk with him. He was so angry now. If she
offended him again, she would be in trouble.

And when she thought of the two of them taking a walk together, she couldn't help feeling disgusted.

The idea was really weird.

"What if I say I want you to come along?"



At the mention of Cherry's name, Kevin got even more irritated. His frosty gaze swept across her skin
like knives.

How could Kevin be so overbearing? What on earth did she do to offend him and why did he torture her
like this!
