Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 25 He Cared

His gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing into her eyes, but Anne wasn’t afraid.

"What? Am I right?" The smile at the corners of Anne's mouth did not waver. "You asked Sam to stick around, and follow me all the time. But now, you want me to stay away from him? Kevin, do you trust me or not? Or you just don't trust yourself?"

"I said, shut up!"

When he was so angry, Kevin had to act out physically. He pushed Anne hard. Fortunately, Anne fell on the bed behind her, so she was not hurt.

The baby in her belly was not seriously injured, fortunately. She unexpectedly felt happy when she saw the furious look on Kevin's face!

"Stop!"

Sam and Emily burst into the room, their hearts in their throats. They'd seen Kevin push Emily.

Emily quickly ran to help Anne up in a hurry. Seeing that Anne's chin was red, she immediately saw red.

"Anne, are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

"I'm fine." Shaking her head, Anne still stared at Kevin's cold face. He was so angry, that she knew that she had really gotten under his skin this time.

Sam looked at Anne, focusing his gaze on her chin. He could imagine what had happened without half- trying.

He looked at Kevin and said coldly,

"You should be ashamed of yourself. A grown man, menacing a pregnant woman!"

Kevin stared at Sam in response. His red lips curled and his eyes were cold.

"Don't talk to me like that. You know I don't like it."

At that point, Sam's face darkened. He turned to Emily and said, "You stay here with Anne tonight."

Emily nodded repeatedly. She didn't dare to leave Anne and Kevin in the same room. Who knew what would happen in the middle of the night if no one were there?

"What are you talking about?"

Kevin frowned. The reason why he moved in was to watch over Anne all the time. But now, Sam wanted to get in between them! Who did he think he was?

"I don't think I stuttered." Sam approached Kevin slowly. When the two were about to get close to each other and the pores on each other's faces could be seen clearly, he stopped and whispered in Kevin's ear, "If you want the baby to be safe, do as I say."

Kevin raised his head and a meaningful smile appeared in his dark eyes.

"Okay."

Kevin was smiling, but only Anne knew that Kevin was faking it. She didn't know what he was thinking. But how could he let her go so easily?

Now she felt that there was only one purpose for Kevin to move in, and that was to torment her 24/7.

The restless day finally came to an end. Anne finally fell asleep under the watchful eyes of Emily. Pregnant women were tired all the time, not to mention that Anne was so weak. She hadn't eaten much at all, so she fell asleep quickly.

When she saw that Anne was asleep, Emily stretched and yawned. She also wanted to get some sleep, but she felt that it was better to tell Sam what had happened when he was absent.

While thinking of that, she nodded, turned around and went downstairs immediately.

Sure enough, the lights in the hall and the kitchen were still on, and Sam was still up.

She tiptoed downstairs to see what Sam was doing. When she walked to the kitchen, she saw that Sam kept hovering about the stove, turning dials, moving pans, like he was cooking.

How could he cook in the middle of the night? Didn't he eat?

Emily's voice rang out from behind him. "Sam, what are you doing? It's the middle of the night!"

When he heard her, Sam stopped cooking and said, "It's so late. Haven't you gone to bed yet? More importantly, is she asleep?"

"Yes." Emily sat down and rested her chin in her hand. She asked, "Are you cooking?"

"Yes. I just bought the ingredients today. It's my first time ever making this meal, so I'm afraid it may not agree with her."

Sam didn't stop what he was doing. While he was busy talking to Emily, he didn't feel tired. In fact, he was physically and mentally exhausted after driving all over the place to buy the ingredients he needed.

But now that he had bought them, he had to make it work. It would be too late to do any experimentation tomorrow.

This wasn't lost on Emily, though. His consideration was part of what made him so attractive. She pursed her lips and said, "You are so attentive."

To be honest, Emily felt a bit sour in her heart. However, she knew that Sam was only doing his duty as a doctor, either that or he really cared about Anne, so he was that serious.

But that didn't make her feel any better. She'd developed a crush on Sam.

"Really? It's just who I am."

He was right. That was who he was. He would always do what felt right. He wouldn't change his mind because of anyone. As long as he thought he should do it, he wouldn't stop for anything.

Even though Kevin made things difficult for Anne again and again, Sam still stood at Anne's side each and every time.

She didn't know whether Sam had any ulterior motives when he did all this, but it was simply the right thing to do, according to his morals.

On second thought, they all had the same goal, which was to protect Anne. As long as Anne was safe, she should support him no matter what he was up to.

With a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, Emily stared at the action of Sam and said with a smile, "So what about you? You need sleep, too."

Sam paused for a moment, turned, and a smile appeared on his angular profile. His two dashing eyebrows looked heroic, and a low voice came out of his throat as he asked, "What about you?"

It was the first time that she had seen Sam smile so gently. Her heart skipped a beat. Emily blinked her eyes and her face went red.

"I'm not sleepy. I can wait for you."

Sam nodded and snorted, "Hmm."

The two of them kept silent for a while. Sam was busy cooking, while Emily just watched him in silence. It was a good feeling. She liked it a lot.

"By the way..." All of a sudden, something occurred to her. She stood up and said seriously, "Anne told me she wanted to move the lemon tree from her old house to here. Think that might be okay?"

Hearing what Emily said, Sam finally turned around and looked up at her.

"Lemon tree?"

Anne had always liked that tree, which had yellow fruit. She liked being around that tree. It seemed to lift her mood.

"Yeah." Emily nodded. In fact, she didn't tell Sam what had happened today. If he knew that Cherry had come here, and she and Kevin ganged up on Anne, he would never let Kevin stay here.

But Emily knew that she would never bring up something that she shouldn't have said.

"Anne likes that tree a lot. I think moving it here will be good for her mood. A hint of sadness flashed through Emily's eyes. "She's been in a funk these days and hardly ate a thing. I'm worried that if this continues, she won't be able to hold on."

With his thin lips pursed into a straight line, Sam nodded and his face darkened.

"I'll arrange for someone to take care of the tree tomorrow."

"Okay." Emily nodded and said, "I hope Anne can recover as soon as possible. We don't want her ill after she's given birth."

"No!" As soon as she finished speaking, Emily realized that she had said something wrong. She shook her head and suddenly said, "Uh...don't listen to me. I'm just rambling."

Sam took a glance at her, and his eyes seldom softened, "Well, go to bed early. You have to take care of her tomorrow morning. Good night."

"Good night." After casting a reluctant glance at Sam, Emily turned and went back upstairs. Sam was right. She had to take care of Anne tomorrow. She'd better get some sleep.

The room on the second floor was still brightly lit.

Kevin was not in the mood to sleep He tried closing his eyes but sleep wouldn't come. His moods were out of control.

He felt uncomfortable staying in the room where Anne had slept for a whole day.

He wondered if that woman had fallen asleep. She hadn't eaten anything today, so she didn't know if she could hold on.

After thinking for a while, Kevin shook his head, picked up the bath towel on the chair and walked into the bathroom. Damn it! Why did he overthink everything? He shouldn't care so much about that woman!

When he was about to leave, his phone vibrated on the bed.

He frowned and stopped to look at the screen. A name jumped out at him. "Cherry?"

Kevin turned his head and stared at the phone.

Why was she calling this late? It was so strange that he didn't have the impulse to answer her call.

After thinking for a second, he picked up the phone with his slender fingers.

"Hello?"

Kevin answered in a patient tone after he put down his bathrobe and sat on the sofa.

"Kevin, what are you doing?"

Her voice was sweet. Lying on the sofa and looking at the empty room, her heart felt empty too. On the other hand, she was afraid that Anne would seduce Kevin when she was not there, so she immediately called him.

She felt relieved when she found it was quiet on the other end of the phone.

Kevin raised his hand, pinched between his eyebrows, and said indifferently, "I'm about to take a shower. What's up?"

"Nothing. I just feel bored." Cherry acted coquettishly and her gentle voice was intoxicating. But when she heard Kevin's cold tone, her face became icy and her body stiffened. "Are you with Anne now?"

"No." Kevin was not in the mood to say one more word to Cherry. He didn't know why he had been in a bad mood recently.

And worse, he didn't have anyone to confide in.

After hanging up the phone, Kevin went into the bathroom and decided to take a cold shower to refresh his mind.

The next morning, before Anne woke up from her dream, a scream broke the silence.

"Ah! Anne!" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
