Attracted By My Ex-wife

It pleased Kevin that Anne was left speechless like this. This was the first time she had such a look on her face because of something he said.

His eyes were completely transfixed on her face. The expression she had was so rare and so cute that it was something he wanted to cherish for as long as possible. Most of the time, she was just cold towards him. He wanted to make sure that he never forget how lovely she looked right now.

However, his moment of joy was about to come to an end. "Do we really need to get involved with each other? You know I don't care whether or not you think I have a pleasing attitude," Anne said as she shook her head.

Since her aloofness towards him had returned, Kevin couldn't help but frown. Usually, they never got along like this, which was why she became guarded once more and started pushing him away like she normally did.

Feeling the tension between them, Sam raised his eyebrows. "Ah, I suddenly remembered that I need to go see a patient of mine for an examination. I'll be on my way now!"

With a smile, he patted Kevin on the shoulder.

The cold words Anne said made Kevin feel embarrassed and hurt. On top of that, he couldn't help but think that the smile on Sam's face was a form of mockery. If Anne wasn't there, he wouldn't have hesitated to beat Sam up right there and then.

Noticing his friend's dark look, Sam beamed even wider and walked away.

Meanwhile, tension and awkwardness between Anne and Kevin grew even more.

In her mind, she knew that Kevin must be in a bad mood by now. Despite that, she didn't really care that much about what he thought. As long as he kept treating her terribly, there was no way she was going to stop being so distant towards him.

"Is the baby getting better?" After a few moments of silence, Kevin finally spoke up and broke the ice.

Normally, he would've still been in a bad mood until now. However, seeing the look Anne had earlier made it easier for him to stay a bit more positive. He somewhat thought that she was not as hateful as she was before after she gave birth to the baby. He used to think that she was a vicious woman who had done many bad things.

"Yes. The fever's gone, thankfully. We can go home today. Don't worry," she replied.

"Okay. I'll go to talk to Sam and go through the formalities. I have a car waiting for you to take you and the baby home." His tone with her was incredibly patient, which made her slightly raise her brow in suspicion.

Warily, he took a step closer to her. However, Anne still couldn't help but feel threatened, and subconsciously took a step back. Although this irritated him, he took a deep breath and tried to maintain his cool.

"I just want to hold the baby. I don't even like you,"

he defended as he rolled his eyes. Even though Anne still wasn't all too comfortable around him, she carefully put the baby in his arms.

As he cradled the soft baby against his chest, warmth flooded his heart. It dawned on him that this child was really his. Not once in his life had he felt such a connection towards a child. For years, he thought that he needed to have children only because they could take over his family business one day.

However, as he held the baby in his arms, he suddenly knew what being a father really felt and meant.

Taking a closer look, he saw how much the baby had inherited Anne's eyes. They had the same stubborn but beautiful look in them. Aside from that, it looked like the baby was an exact carbon copy of Kevin.

Whenever a parent held their child in their arms for the first time, a special form of love and connection was formed. It was inevitable.

"You're holding the baby wrong. You might hurt him," Anne reminded gently.
