Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 127 Let Me See My Child

"Kevin, what do you want from me? I have told you countless times that I don't ever want to see you again!"

With a sullen face and hint of coldness in her eyes, she wondered what Kevin wanted to do. Since he had no plans to let her see their son, why did he bother seeing her?

"I have a surprise for you. Come with me."

Kevin, who had never been sneered at by any woman, pulled a long face to mask his anger.

He stepped forward, snatched her by the wrist, and pulled her out.

"What are you up to, Kevin? Let go of me!" She hassled herself free from the man's tight grip. Her eyes brimmed with anger.

She couldn't stand this man's bullish act anymore. Why did this man abruptly come to disturb her quiet life?

"Can't you just be a little more obedient? Do you really want me to use force?"

He lost all his patience because of her attitude. His face darkened as he looked at her with such annoyance.

'Damn it! Can't she be a little nicer to me?'

She was stunned for a moment and looked back at Kevin in shock. Why couldn't he just tell her what he wanted and be done with it?

"Can't you do anything else except threaten the people in front of you?"

This man knew nothing but to compel her every time. This was his usual style of getting into people, simple and crude!

"It works to threaten you. You deserve it, you disobedient girl."

With a dimmed face, Kevin snorted and thought, 'That's how this works on this little woman. As long as I put the squeeze on her, she will obey.'

Silence took over for a moment as he pondered.

How brazen was this man to admit it without blinking his eyes...

Seeing that Anne stood there indifferently like a tree and refused to leave with him, Kevin got infuriated again and dragged her out directly, this time without saying a word.

Anne was obliged to leave with Kevin. He was too overpowering for her to get out of his grip. Moreover, this man was domineering. If she refused to go, he would just insist over and over again.

When Kevin pulled her out of the door, she was surprised that he let go of her hand.

"Why did you pull me outside? What the heck is wrong with you?" The two stood face to face. With a displeased look on her surface, the absence of enthusiasm in her eyes was more obvious.

"Look what's in front of us?" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Ignoring her arrogance, Kevin pointed ahead and said aloof with a smile in his sable eyes.

Thinking of how touched would this little woman be once she realized what he was up to, he was in a favorable mood in a jiff.

Confused, she looked at the direction his hand pointed. When she saw the path paved like a runway with myriad roses, her eyes seemed to be in awe and her heart pounded wildly.

Did he prepare this for her?

He had never given her any flowers before. This was a first for her.

She felt a dull ache from the bottom of her heart. She owned up to the fact that she had fallen in love with this man before. Even if he barely did a thing for her, she could not help herself but be moved.

But why was he doing all this? Why now that her heart stupefied into obliviousness?

"Anne, if you are moved, just say it. I won't think silly of you."

Looking complacently at the absentminded demeanor on Anne's face, Kevin smiled. He was thrilled, thinking that this woman should have already been convinced to come back to him.

His voice brought Anne back into to earth in a snap. When she saw the triumphant smirk on Kevin's face, her heart sank.

"Kevin, what is all this? Why are there so many roses in front of my door? It seems like you forgot that your Cherry is not here, right?"

Her voice was stone-cold and passionless.

Trying her best to hold back the tears dammed in her eyes, she curled her lips sarcastically.

"Anne!" Kevin growled with a hostile temper in his ghoulish eyes.

Yikes! She thought the roses were for Cherry? Geez! Did she not realize that he did all this for her?

"Is there anything else you want to show me, Kevin? If not, please let your men clean this mess. I have no business picking up roses here."

She turned her head away from the roses on the road and spoke with a stoic voice. It was not that she wasn't touched and didn't appreciate Kevin making a mindful effort for the first time, but the fact that she was aroused by it was enough for her to be alarmed. She was afraid because when she saw it, she couldn't help but be tender and softhearted, and that meant risking herself once more to the possibility of being hurt.

She didn't want to suffer from the same heart-rending pain twice.

"Anne, listen to me. These roses are meant for you. They have nothing to do with Cherry. Can't you see? I want you to come back to me!"

Oh, man. Why did she have to piss him off this lot?

"Why should I come back to you? Do you think I'll just do as you wish? Because you are Kevin?"

Anne sneered, and the look in her eyes became frigid as a rock. He was wrong to think that he'd win her back. She knew he was only acting that way because of his unreasonable possessiveness and nothing more.

He had always been like this, detached from other people's belief. As long as he wanted something, he would be zealous and possessive, even treating a person like a plaything.

"Because you are mine! So you will stay with me. Are we clear on that?"

He was desperate to keep her by his side. She was the love of his life, the only woman he wanted.

"Kevin, do you have any idea what's going on? We already broke up. We are done. And if I remembered correctly, you were the one who broke up with me. Have you forgotten?"

When she was most vulnerable, this man abandoned her like garbage, and now he suddenly wanted to have her back? He had got to be kidding.

No matter how stupid she was, she was not senseless enough to give a man two chances to devastate her.

"I regret it now. I want you to return to me. You can't escape from me."

For his one true love, Kevin would do any means necessary to keep her at his side, and this sweet woman could only do so much as returning to him.

"Why? Why should I come back to you? Why would I return and let you hurt me once more? Kevin, am I such a silly doll in your heart? A toy that you can take if you want and throw away as soon as you lose interest?"

What did this man think of her as? A commodity?

The words 'hurt' and 'throw' struck the most throbbing ache in his heart.

As he reminisced the things he had done to this woman in the past, a sudden trace of guilt flushed through his ghoulish eyes. Indeed, he had brought misery into her life, but now he just wanted to love her seriously.

"I won't hurt you again. Anne, please come back to me." His voice became a little horse, and there was an imperceptible sense of remorse in his tone.

He had always been a proud man. He would never admit his mistakes because he didn't believe he had done wrong in the first place. But for the first time, he felt regretful about what he had done to Anne.

Her heart trembled. She could not believe her eyes. She could see right through the lament his eyes manifested.

'Would this conceitful man get off his high horse and really regret?

Is he the same Kevin I know?' An arrogant man begging for her to come back.

It was surreal. She thought that this was all a dream.

"Kevin, our relationship was all in the past. Things will never go back to the way it used to be. But could you at least let me see our son? I have been longing to see him. How is he? Is he doing okay?"

Unfortunately, she could not bear the pain of such missing any longer.

"The child is living a good life. Don't worry, Cherry will take good care of him. She won't let anything bad happen to him."

The baby was his last bargaining chip. How could he let her see their son so easily?

Anne was shocked to know that Cherry was the one looking after her son.

"What? You asked Cherry to take care of my baby? How could you do this? Don't you know how vicious she is? How can you leave our son to such a person?"

Thinking of Cherry's malicious character, she couldn't help but be hysterical.

Cherry had a copious amount of hatred against her. If she had the child in her custody, she could redirect that loathing to mistreat the boy, right?

Thinking of this possibility, Anne couldn't help but worry. How could she ever trust that the child was safe from harsh conduct?

"Cherry will take good care of my son. Don't worry. She treats the boy as her own."

Kevin was agitated with what Anne had said. Perhaps, he felt guilty thinking how he had treated Cherry.

"I want to see the child. I want to see my son now!"

She needed to see the boy. She had to attest that he was treated well. Otherwise, overthinking about what Cherry could possibly do to the child could be the cause of her detriment.

"You can't see him. Not now." Kevin couldn't help but feel sorry when he saw her getting emotional. Was there never been another person in this woman's heart except for her son?

In her ticker, he couldn't even compare to a child she had never seen?

"Kevin, what in the world do you want me to do so that I could see my baby? He is also my child. How could you prevent me from seeing him? What right do you have?!"

Kevin refused her wish which made Anne completely lose her mind. It was the first time she had spoken to Kevin in such a high voice. Her protest was almost roared out in the neighborhood.

"Calm down, Anne." Why did she become so hysterical all of a sudden? Nothing happened to the baby.

"Calm down? How can I calm down? Kevin, how badly do you want to hurt me? Are you driving me crazy so that you can let go of me?"

She looked at Kevin in despair. For the first time, she looked dispirited like shattered glass.

She had always been optimistic and believed that her child would live a happy life, but now she was anxious as anything.

She knew Cherry wouldn't care for the child's well-being. The child could suffer. The thought of Cherry's malefic face made her heart pound like a drum.
