Attracted By My Ex-wife

They came to a high-end French restaurant. The lights were low and strategically placed. The floor incorporated a white and black checkered design; the walls were dark gray, covered in vintage art, and the tables were small and white. The chairs were made of wood and wicker, alternating between plain and black. The tables were made for couples to be closer to each other.

While looking at the loving couples in the restaurant, Anne felt that this was the most unlikely spot for her and Kevin to eat.

People who came here were usually the closest lovers, and the two of them did not fit that description at all.

"I think we'd better find another restaurant," Anne said. "This really isn't us." She looked at Kevin to gauge his reaction.

He frowned and looked at her unhappily, inexplicable anger shone in his black eyes.

"Why not? What's wrong with this place?"

Kevin knew what she was thinking, and that was why he was even less happy.

"Take a look around. See that couple? And that one? Everyone here is very much in love. Don't you think it's kind of ironic for us to grab a meal here?"

Anne couldn't accept the fact that she was having lunch with Kevin in a warm and romantic setting like this one.

"Not really. A man and his wife should be fine eating here." The more this woman wanted to escape, the more he wanted to stay here for lunch.

"You know our marriage is a sham, right? It's a contractual agreement. You're the one that keeps reminding me."

Her words were still calm. She felt a sense of relief when she thought of it. Their relationship would be over the moment the baby was born.

"Even if it is a contract, you're still my wife. I don't want to hear you bring that up again!"

Kevin reminded Anne coldly as he dragged her to a seat.

The two of them sat face to face, and their expressions were passionless. Anne looked away.

"Mr. Kevin, we haven't seen you in forever!" The manager of the restaurant came to greet Kevin as soon as he found his VIP.

Kevin's face softened. He looked at the restaurant manager and replied indifferently,

"I've been busy. And that gives me a healthy appetite."

"Right. You must be very busy since you have such a big company to manage. Who is your guest? You usually come here with Miss Cherry."

Although Kevin looked indifferent, the restaurant manager was quite enthusiastic.

When she heard Cherry's name, Anne frowned. A flash of disgust flashed through her beautiful eyes, and she felt a little bitter in her heart. So he'd been to this restaurant before—and he'd brought Cherry along.
