Attracted By My Ex-wife

Kevin couldn't help but feel mildly irked as he watched Anne's receding figure. He had done so many things for her these past few days yet he had barely made any progress.

If his secretary hadn't advised him to take it slow, he wouldn't have hesitated to use force.

After all, the only times he could get her to be obedient before was when he used force.

"Mr. Kevin, I think you're making progress with your relationship with Miss Anne." His secretary glanced at him through the rearview mirror, a hint of excitement flickering in his eyes.

"What made you say that?"

Kevin said coldly, rolling his eyes. Anne wasn't even taking him seriously!

"At least you two didn't fight on your way back..." his secretary muttered, shrinking back in fear under Kevin's sharp gaze.

In the past, Anne and Kevin would be at each other's throats every second they spent together. While it was certainly a stretch to call this progress, it was better than nothing. At the very least, they weren't constantly quarreling anymore.

"Just focus on driving!"

Kevin spat as he looked out the window, visibly annoyed.

Seeing the displeasure on Kevin's face, the secretary shut his mouth and continued to drive in silence.

"Where were you? Why are you coming home so late? I tried calling you but couldn't get through." As soon as Anne arrived home, Sam hurriedly walked towards her, a worried look on his face.

"You called me?"

Perplexed, Anne took out her phone only to find that it had been turned off.

It must have been Kevin. Only he would be capable of doing something so childish.

"What happened? Where were you? You were out for so long," Sam pressed, eyeing her carefully. This time, he noticed that she seemed noticeably pale.

"It's nothing. I just spent some time outside by myself. My phone might have run out of power. That's probably why I didn't receive your calls."

Anne flashed him an awkward smile, purposely omitting Kevin's name.

He could tell that she was embarrassed. It was also obvious that she was lying but he decided not to mention it.

"Have you eaten?"

He changed the topic. Just seeing the look on her face was enough to tell him whom she had really been with the entire time she was out.

"Not yet. I'm going to prepare dinner now." She was a little hungry after being out for so long.
