Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 146 The Child Is At Home

"No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, just sit down and finish the meal," Kevin said in an irresistible tone, giving a hint to Anne to sit next to him.

As she looked at the dishes on the table, Anne's belly started rumbling. In fact, she was already ravenous, but she still wanted to pretend she was strong.

"Ha-ha! I can tell you're hungry. Sit down and dig in. Why be difficult?"

He laughed, as much as in triumph as anything. He also felt bad for her, and wanted her to eat her fill.

Anne frowned. She really didn't want him here. She certainly didn't want to share a meal with him. But she was hungry, and wasn't about to starve to death for this guy!

"Don't you want to see your baby? Probably a good idea to eat, then. You don't want to starve before you see him."

'Damn it! Does she have to be defiant to the end? I've been so humble, but she's still defying me.'

As she heard the word "baby," a glimmer of hope flashed through Anne's beautiful eyes. Then she gave Kevin a cold look and sat across from him.

Kevin smiled to see her do that. So at least some of his soft persuasion was working.

When Anne had eaten her fill, she looked up at Kevin.

"Kevin, when can I see my kid? Or were you just bullshitting me?" she asked icily.

"Are you so eager to see him?" There was no change in Kevin's mood. His expression was still indifferent, but a complicated light could be seen in his eyes.

"Of course. But you knew that, didn't you? The only thing I want now is to see my son. Let me see him, and I'll do anything you want."

He didn't shut her down like he usually did. A spark of hope still burned in Anne's heart. She looked at him anxiously.

"Anything I want. What a wonderful philosophy. And if I asked you to be my woman? You could see your kid as much as you want."

Kevin locked her with a burning gaze, looking forward to her answer.

Kevin's terms made Anne frown. She was hesitant. She really didn't want to go back to him.

But it seemed to be the only way he'd let her see her child. Maybe she should compromise so she could get what she wanted?

"I—" Just as she opened her mouth to agree to his terms, he interrupted her,

"I'll give you time to think about it. You can see him tomorrow."

Kevin couldn't bear to see her disappointed. So he decided to honor her request.

Anne looked at Kevin in surprise. She became excited, animated even.

"This isn't another trick, is it? You'll let me see him? Tomorrow?" Anne couldn't control herself, and she wore her heart on her sleeve.

"I'll let you see him, on one condition."

Seeing her all fired up, Kevin didn't regret his decision. But since she was so happy, how could he not take advantage of it?

"I knew there had to be a catch. There always is. What is it?"

When she heard Kevin's words, her face fell. She knew it couldn't be that easy.

But Anne had made up her mind. As long as she could see her child, she would agree to whatever the man asked.

"Kiss me. That's it. Kiss me, and I'll let you see the baby. What do you think? You won't lose anything."

Kevin raised his dashing eyebrows and smiled evilly. When his eyes traveled to her pink lips, a hint of expectation hit his heart.

"What?"

Anne opened her eyes wide in shock. She didn't think she was hearing things. This man actually asked her to kiss him.

"What part of 'kiss me' didn't you get? I want a kiss!" Seeing her surprised look, Kevin frowned in dissatisfaction and reiterated what he said.

"Your condition is that I kiss you?"

Anne still couldn't believe her ears. This man made a simple request. As long as she kissed him, he would let her see her child?

"Not happy with that? I can pile more conditions on top of that, if you like."

'What was she thinking? That it was too easy? It was a simple enough request, wasn't it?'

Thinking of this, Kevin couldn't help smiling. When he thought of what would happen next, he couldn't help but smile in anticipation. She had always been cold. He really couldn't wait for her to kiss him. He wouldn't have to start it this time.

"No, we're good. There's no need to add more!"

Seeing that Kevin was going to add more conditions, Anne panicked and refused in a hurry. How far would it go? Would he demand to sleep with her?

Seeing the anxious look on Anne's face, Kevin's eyes closed in displeasure. 'She doesn't like me much!'

"Hurry up, before I change my mind."

'This woman is still dawdling. Is she waiting for me to kiss her?'

Noticing the anxious look on Kevin's face, Anne quickly approached him and pecked him on the cheek.

If it would let her see her kid, then that was what she had to do.

After a light kiss, Anne left quickly. Kevin looked at Anne with dissatisfaction. There was a glint of irritation in his black eyes. 'That's all I get? Really?'

"You call that a kiss? I mean, seriously?" Kevin's face darkened with dissatisfaction.

"Wasn't that okay? You asked for a kiss, and I gave it to you. You can't go back on your word!"

Sensing the displeasure of the man in front of her, Anne looked at him vigilantly, fearing that he might change his mind.

"That wasn't a kiss. Do you need me to teach you?"

Kevin said this as he suppressed his anger and got closer to Anne. Finally, he locked lips with her. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Anne's beautiful eyes went wide in shock and disbelief.

It felt like a long time before Kevin let go of her, strong desire in his black eyes.

Caught up in the moment, Anne forgot herself, forgot that Kevin had just taken advantage of her.

"Now that... That's a kiss." This woman kissed him lightly and casually. She wasn't getting off that easily.

Anne came to her senses and looked at him angrily. This man was obviously taking advantage of her.

"Kevin, you..." She stared at him angrily, but couldn't say a word. She could only glare at the guy.

"What? Not enough for you? Do you want some more?"

Deliberately misreading Anne's reaction, Kevin raised his dashing eyebrows and looked at her, smiling. Finally, another facial expression attracted him. Angry, bashful. He loved it. He wondered what more he could get out of her.

"Fine. You got your kiss. Can I see the baby tomorrow?"

She didn't want to argue with him anymore. The most important thing for her now was to see her child.

"The child is not in America. I'll take you back home tomorrow."

Kevin looked at Anne with affection.

"What? The boy's not here?"

Hearing the news her child was not in America, she looked at him in shock.

Sam said he was here. That was why she was in America in the first place. But Kevin's news hit her like a slap.

What the hell was going on? Where was her son?

"The child is at home."

Kevin assessed the situation. He knew why she came to America, but there were some things he didn't want her to know.

"Then I'll go pack."

She started to piece everything together. Sam wasn't in a hurry to find her kid. Even though he said the boy was in America. Sam must have known her child wasn't there.

After figuring it out, Anne felt a little uncomfortable. Although she knew why Sam did it, she couldn't help but get angry when she worked so hard trying to track her son down. She had been searching for so long.

She stood up, walked into the bedroom and began to pack up her clothes. Since her child was no longer stateside, there was no need for her to stay here.

He saw that look of disappointment on Anne's face. It was working. She didn't trust Sam as much anymore.

Anne tried to close her eyes and rest, but sleep eluded her. She was too excited. She was going to get to see her son tomorrow. She hadn't seen her baby for months.

Now that she finally had the chance to see him, how could she not be totally stoked?

In the morning, there were two big dark circles under Anne's eyes, and she looked more than a little tired. But she was anxious. She would get to see her boy—finally.

She was shaken out of her thoughts by a knock at the door. It was Kevin. "You ready? I have a plane waiting."

"Yes, I'm ready. We can leave now." Anne was practically breathless with hope.

"If you're ready, we can leave now. I imagine you wouldn't object to seeing him as soon as possible?"

Kevin took a look at Anne and saw the big dark circles around her eyes. He felt bad for her. She was kind of a mess.
