Attracted By My Ex-wife

The poem read, "Today of last year, I met you in this gate. Your face was extremely charming against the flowers' beauties.

Now you are no longer here in this gate, only the peach flowers smiling in gentle breeze."

Anne was attracted by this book at first sight. She excitedly went through several pages of the book in a flash. It was like she had forgotten that Kevin ever existed.

The door creaked open, but she was so engrossed in reading the book that she didn't even notice that someone had entered the room.

"What are you looking at? Don't move around so much. Your body still needs to recover,"

Kevin uttered in a peeved tone. It took Anne quite a while before she realized that someone was talking to her. But when she finally did, she looked around and saw something that absolutely terrified her.

'What's going on? Why is there a dark figure in my room?' She thought to herself while holding her heart that almost jumped out of her chest from being startled. After a few seconds, Anne came back to her senses and realized who she was looking at. She couldn't help but wonder why Kevin's face was covered with ash and why he was wearing all black.

"What happened to you? Did you clean someone's chimney or something?" Anne asked with a confused look on her face.

"Stop talking nonsense. I was just in the kitchen,"

Kevin replied in an aggrieved tone. After that, he walked forward and placed a bowl of porridge on a nearby table. No matter how dirty he looked at that moment, he still looked as handsome and dashing as his usual self. And his newfound kindness just added more to his charm.

"Why are you here?" Anne asked while trying her best not to giggle in front of him. When she walked closer to take a look at what he brought, she was surprised and asked him in disbelief, "Did you make this by yourself?"

"Of course, I did. Do you really think a grown man like myself can't cook something that simple?" Kevin responded while furrowing his eyebrows at her. He was slightly offended by her question and felt a little upset. About a few seconds later, he frigidly handed the porridge to Anne and said, "Here, try it. Tell me if you like it."

Anne's stomach rumbled from hunger so she eagerly took the bowl from him. But when she looked down and saw how unappetizing the food looked, her enthusiasm quickly disappeared. After a while, the whole room was covered with the aroma of porridge. At that point, she was too hungry to fuss over food anymore. It was the first time in a long while that she had had an appetite.

Additionally, she felt quite fond of the fact that Kevin cooked for her, especially since a kind gesture like this was a rare sight to see from him. However, she always knew in her heart that Kevin would never choose her to be by his side.

But she would never admit defeat. She kept fighting for her love which only led her to pain.

No matter how tired her body was from trying to pursue him, she would always believe she could conquer any difficulties.

Looking at Kevin's face which was covered with ash, she felt somewhat sad. 'Why would I feel sad?' Anne curiously asked herself. She should have felt warm by Kevin's sweet actions, but she couldn't get rid of the nagging feeling in her heart.

'He's probably doing all of this for the baby,' she thought while slowly caressing her stomach.

"What are you waiting for? Eat it before it gets cold,"

Kevin said in a compelling voice. He couldn't understand why Anne was so deep in thought since all he did was just bring her some food.

His words brought Anne back to her senses. With his bright eyes staring right at her, she placed down the book and picked up a spoon to eat. In her mind, the food didn't look appetizing so she would just gulp it down for her baby. But as soon as she tasted it, her eyes widened in shock. The simple bowl of porridge was one of the best she had ever eaten.

Kevin watched closely for her reaction. When he saw the look of delight in her eyes, he quickly asked, "How is it?" The first spoonful was always the best indicator if the person liked the food or not. Kevin knew this and excitedly waited for her reaction. He even bent down to match her gaze so he could see if she was telling the truth or not.

Seeing Kevin's nervous expression, Anne gleefully replied, "It's surprisingly good, to be honest with you."
