Attracted By My Ex-wife

"Kevin, why did you do that?" Cherry asked as she looked at him in disbelief.

"To protect my woman and my child,"

he answered. The fact that he said it so naturally made her heart twitch. In Kevin's heart, Anne was his woman and he would do anything to protect her well.

"You're willing to make others take the blame just to protect her? Do you know how unfair you sound right now?"

It might sound like it, but Cherry didn't feel any trace of sympathy for Emily. It was just so hard for her to accept that Kevin would do anything just to protect her cousin.

'I'm his real woman. His care and protection should be all on me!' she thought angrily.

"I did it voluntarily! As long as I can protect her, I'm willing to do anything," Emily answered instead and threw a cold look towards Cherry.

Anne was like her real sister and she couldn't bear to see her in danger. Alan was a dangerous person. If he believed that Anne was the one who pushed his sister down the stairs, he would never let her go.

Cherry clenched her fist in anger. She already planned everything carefully and Emily just had to come out and disrupt her plan.

"I don't want Anne to find out about this. Am I clear, Cherry?"

He looked at her with sharp eyes.

"Yes, I won't tell her."

She lowered her head to hide the hatred that crept on her. 'That bitch is so lucky to have an assistant who could make such a big sacrifice for her.'

Emily was about to say something but stopped midway when she saw Anne descend the staircase with a jewelry box in her hand.

"This is for you," she said and handed the jewelry box to Emily with a smile.

Confused, Emily opened the box and saw a simple necklace inside.

"Anne, what's this?"

"I've been wearing that necklace since I was a child. It's nothing grand but this means a lot for me. Since you're going somewhere far, I want you to have it."

She picked up the necklace and put it on Emily with warmth in her eyes.

"Thank you. I wouldn't mind doing anything for such a good friend like you." She held Anne tightly and finally broke into tears.

"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Eat your breakfast quickly or else you'll be late."

She looked at her with amusement. Was she that excited to leave that her sentence made no sense at all? What did she mean by she wouldn't mind doing anything just for her?

The two were too reluctant to part and that made Cherry look at them with disdain.
