Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 11 Give Her The Cold Shoulder

"What do you mean?" Kevin sprang to his feet.

His action scared everyone there. Their hearts practically leapt from their chests. Everyone held their breath and looked at him, afraid that breathing at the wrong time would kill them.

"The most important thing for the baby is for the mom to be in a good mood. These people you sent are only stressing Anne out. So why keep them around then?" Sam paused for a few seconds, and then said in the same tone, "I'll stay here and take care of her."

"You?" Kevin's eyes widened.

Anne looked at Sam in astonishment as well.

But Sam said to Kevin calmly, "No one knows her medical history better than I do."

Kevin frowned and said nothing. He walked to the window and stood there. In just a few seconds, he thought of several benefits of Sam's proposal.

True, Sam knew more about Anne's medical history than anyone. The problem was that though he was a doctor, he was also a man.

A man and a woman were staying in the same house alone. Even if Anne were pregnant, Kevin was still worried.

After pondering for a while, Kevin said with a smile of satisfaction, "I agree, but on one condition—I'll stick around so I can start a relationship with my son, growing in her womb."

"Neither of you need to stay here." Anne's mood was dismal. She was more than a little irritable. This day kept going from bad to worse. And she was in a mood to match. She said impatiently, "It's up to me."

Her words echoed in their ears.

"It's up to me."

Kevin and Sam shut Anne down at the same time.

No one could disobey Kevin, but what Sam said concerned him.

At last, Anne and Kevin hammered out a plan, putting their egos aside. Emily would stay there, taking care of Anne. Sam would be on hand as well, considering he was her doctor.

This was Kevin's last concession. Even if Anne didn't like it, she still had to cooperate.

In the morning, Kevin listened the reports from the department heads. They laid out in detail the projects that Anne was working on or decided to launch.

There were nearly twenty of them in total.

This could really try a man's patience. Kevin did nothing else from morning to afternoon except drink a glass of water.

He didn't stop the meetings for even a second, listening to the manager's reports. He was really tired, and there were still five managers on the waiting list.

He waved his hand and said, "Get some rest and report to me in the afternoon."

Kevin couldn't let Anne look down on him. He raised his hand and rubbed between his eyebrows, telling his assistant that he was going to have a working lunch.
