Attracted By My Ex-wife

Kevin carefully tended to Cherry's wound as soon as they arrived at her room. The tenderness in his eyes was palpable.

"Does it still hurt?"

Seeing the look of resignation on Cherry's face only made him worry even more.

"It doesn't hurt. It's just a little red and swollen. Nothing too serious. Don't worry,"

Cherry said gently.

"What are you talking about? It's completely swollen. You're so considerate. You don't even want to admit that it hurts." Kevin sighed helplessly. Sometimes, she could be too thoughtful for her own good.

Cherry beamed at this.

"Kevin, can you stop blaming Anne for what happened? I don't think she did it on purpose." She held Kevin's arm, hoping to defend Anne.

At the mention of Anne, Kevin began to get all riled up once more.

"Cherry, you shouldn't be so kind to her. You may see her as your cousin but she obviously doesn't treat you the same way!"

He hated seeing Cherry have to compromise for someone like Anne.

"Kevin, don't be mad at Anne. I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose."

Kevin's hatred for Anne only intensified with the way Cherry was defending her. This was exactly what she wanted. She wanted Anne to suffer more.

While this made her happy, she still had to act concerned in front of Kevin.

She was smart enough to know that this was what she needed to do to gain Kevin's sympathy and drive his hatred for Anne.

"Cherry, maybe you shouldn't talk to her anymore. I don't know if she would do something like this to you again. From now on, you should just stay away from her, got it?"

Kevin exhaled sharply. He was afraid that Anne would attempt to hurt Cherry again.

"Kevin, to be honest with you, I understand why Anne hates me. After all, considering our relationship..." Cherry looked remorseful at the mention of their relationship.

"You're the woman I love. There's no reason for you to worry about anything else. Once she gives birth, I'm divorcing her. I promise you will get what you deserve right the minute all of this is over,"

Kevin promised firmly.

As far as he was concerned, he deserved a kind-hearted and considerate woman like Cherry as his wife—unlike Anne.

"Well, I trust you. I just don't want Anne to hate me."

Cherry threw herself into his arms in utter joy. She made sure to restrain herself and not get too excited though.
