Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 39 An Unexpected Incident

Ruth was a simple and innocent girl.

However, she grew up being spoiled and too pampered since childhood. This made her look down on Anne from the beginning. She was naive but very narcissistic. She even thought that only noble people like her could be in her list of friends.

Cherry was different. Although the Ye Clan was not very rich, she was far better than those who lived under others' roof! Moreover, Cherry had always been admired by Kevin. Thus, she had a place for Ruth's attention.

"Hey, you are still so lively!" Cherry smiled demurely. She must get along well with the woman in front of her, otherwise, who would help her deal with Anne later on?

She didn't expect to be so favored. In less than twenty minutes, she saw Anne walking from afar.

No one knew what got into Kevin these days. When Anne got up this morning, Kevin had prepared breakfast for her.

She was told that Kevin got up early and made the breakfast specially for her. She was confused but she just thanked him for it and didn't continue to think about it.

Before Kevin went out, he called Emily to accompany Anne and gave her a credit card, asking her to go shopping.

She didn't know why he did that, but since it was already done, what could be the point to refuse?

She was quite satisfied with how Kevin treated her these past few days.

Emily could tell that Anne was in a good mood today.

"Anne, you seem to be in a good mood today!" Emily teased her.

Anne looked back and said, "Really? I think you are in a good mood too!"

Emily was also unusual that day. She kept smiling all day, as if she had encountered something good.

"Not that really!" Emily looked away as her cheeks turned red.

Seeing Emily this way, Anne already knew what was happening inside her. She smiled and said, "Well, you already blushed, and you still think you can hide it from me? Did you meet someone you like?"

Emily had always been like a sister to her, so it was easy for her to read what was on her mind. However, she had a hard time figuring out where the mood came from because Emily had not mentioned anything about it.

"Of course not! I am not supposed to be the topic here. We should talk about you." Emily looked at Anne mischievously and asked, "Did Mr. Kevin cook porridge for you last night?"

"How do you know?" Anne wore an unusual expression. She was quite embarrassed and still not used to it when others also knew what Kevin had done for her.

Emily chuckled, "Isn't that obvious? It was so late last night. He called me and asked me to help him find the hotel manager!"

"I see." Anne looked down. It turned out that he really cared about her. Besides, he wouldn't have done everything this morning if he didn't.

When she saw him in the kitchen wearing an apron, she was a bit startled.

She shook her head trying not to fall for all his show. She knew that all of this merely meant nothing. It was all fake! When the baby was born, everything would go back to the way it was again.

It was just too good to be true that Kevin would stay this way even after the baby was born.

Emily and Anne went out together, walking and laughing along the long street. They entered an exclusive shop. The clothes inside were very beautiful, and Emily liked one of them at a glance.

"That looks good. Anne, can you give me some advice? I want to buy a dress."

"What kind of dress do you want to buy?" Anne looked around the shop and found that all the clothes were good, but it was all a bit formal for Emily. She would look older wearing such.

Emily felt the same way. Those clothes really looked good but it didn't suit her.

"The clothes seemed to be designed for older people, but it would still be nice if it's to meet someone elderly, right?"

"Elderly?" "Why are you going to meet someone elderly?" Anne asked in confusion.

"Ah!" Realizing that she had spilled the beans, Emily immediately covered her mouth and said, "I didn't say anything! I mean, I should wear clothes that make me look more mature, so when I go home to see my parents, they will stop saying that I am still a grown-up child!"

Emily looked nervous. She couldn't let Anne find out anything!

Anne chuckled when she noticed that Emily was nervous and said, "Okay, I know. This one is not bad!"

She pointed at a black knee-length dress with ruffled hemline.

This dress should be the most suitable one for Emily in this shop. She would look elegant on this when she met her parents.

"This one! It's really beautiful!"

Emily was about get the dress in front of her when a fair-white hand grabbed it.

"Cherry, what do you think of this dress?"

'Cherry?'

Emily didn't expect that she would see Cherry here. She frowned and thought, 'What a small world!'

As for Anne, a frown also replaced her sweet smile. Her aura turned cold immediately.

Every time she saw Cherry, nothing good happened. For Pete's sake, why did she keep on seeing her in this kind of moment? The only difference was that Kevin wasn't with her at that moment.

"Oh, it's you, Anne!" Cherry was also surprised to see Anne in such a high-end place.

She didn't know that Kevin allowed Anne to go out. She thought that Kevin was still keeping her in the room.

It seemed that Kevin was getting nicer to Anne recently!

She got infuriated with the thought. However, she couldn't show it in front of Ruth. She just bit her lips and glared at Anne. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

In the case of Ruth, she couldn't miss the moment to humiliate Anne.

"Anne!"

Her voice was loud and clear that it made Anne notice her easily. Anne saw a strange but familiar face.

She furrowed her eyebrows trying to remember if she knew her or not. After a few minutes, it finally sunk in.

"Ruth?"

Anne had an impression with all the women in Cherry's circle of friends, not to mention that this woman in front of her had bullied her together with Cherry before.

"I didn't expect you to remember me!" With a sneer on her pretty face, Ruth looked at Anne from top to bottom, and said, "You're living a good life now, aren't you? I heard that you've climbed up the ranks and become a phoenix!"

Ruth's words were always so unpleasant to hear but as usual, Anne didn't want to argue with her.

However, Emily didn't have much patience to deal with this arrogant woman. When she heard Ruth despise Anne like that, she couldn't help but to feel furious.

"What are you talking about?" Emily stood in front of Anne, while glaring at Ruth. "What do you mean? Are you referring to the woman behind you?"

Emily knew at once that Ruth was not good, but she didn't expect her words to be so rude.

Ruth didn't know who Emily was, nor did she know that Emily was from a rich family. She thought that Emily was only Anne's servant.

She pointed at Emily's nose and said condescendingly, "Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"

"You-" Emily was so furious that she clenched her fist and looked sharply at Ruth, "You don't even deserve to know me, so stop being rude to Anne!"

Emily was a frank person who would say and do whatever that she thought was right. However, Ruth was not an ordinary person to be trifled with.

With a cold snort, Emily took Anne's hand and said, "Anne, let's go. Don't stoop on the same level as them!"

After glancing at Ruth and Cherry, Anne nodded and followed Emily.

But Ruth didn't want to end this encounter so early. She still wanted more.

"Stop!"

She walked past Emily and stood in front of Anne. "Anne, I remember that you were not like this before. You would never hide behind others no matter what happened. What's wrong with you now?"

Anne rolled her eyes and said, "People change a lot over time."

With a calm tone, she didn't paid much attention to Ruth's ridicule. She acted so indifferent, as if what happened in front of her was not a big deal.

"How could you talk to me so calmly?" Ruth frowned. Although Anne didn't have much reaction, she could still feel a strong aura from her.

In her eyes, Anne was a woman of low status, but when Anne stood there and talked to her expressionlessly, Ruth would feel a kind of pressure.

Anne smiled at Ruth, and said "Then what? What tone do you expect me to talk to you, Miss Ruth?"

"You…" Ruth didn't expect that Anne would be so indifferent. Somehow, she was pissed off that Anne didn't gave her much reaction. She was not satisfied and didn't know what to do to ignite the situation.

She just clenched her fists while looking at the woman in front of her. She was totally unsatisfied of the flow of their conversation.

She had not seen Anne for so many years. She had thought that she could still denigrate her when they met. But when she saw Anne after a long time, she realized that she had changed a lot.

Anne was now a totally different person to Ruth. Her appearance and temperament had changed tremendously.

Ruth used to say whatever she wanted, but she couldn't do it now. She ran out of words in front of them.

"Ruth, are you okay?"

Cherry smiled and immediately returned to her usual appearance. She stood beside Ruth and held her. "Don't lower yourself to the same level as Anne. She always has the temper."

Anne burst into laughter after hearing Cherry. What did she mean by saying that? And what exactly did she want to say about Anne's temper?
