Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 133

Seeing the unnatural expression on Anne's face, Sam frowned worriedly and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay. It's late now. You must be tired. Let's go back." Sensing that she was vague, Sam didn't want to force her to do anything.

It was not until she got in the car that Anne felt the uncomfortable feeling behind her disappeared. She didn't know why but she felt Kevin's intimidating presence around the perimeter.

What was wrong with here? Was she still dreaming about him?

"What are you thinking about? You looked distracted just now," asked Sam as he turned to Anne with a gentle smile on his handsome face.

"Nothing. It was nothing." Anne concealed the fact that she was thinking of Kevin in her heart just now.

"If you are exhausted, just close your eyes and take a rest. I will wake you up once we get home." Sam spoke in a soft, calming voice as he looked at Anne with a pair of gentle eyes. He didn't want her to be bothered by Kevin all the time anymore.

"Okay."

It happened that Anne was not in the mood to face the concerned eyes of Sam. After saying that, she reclined her seat, leaned against it, and closed her eyes.

All Anne could think about was Kevin. With a scowl, she tried to get rid of the thought of him, but no matter what she did, it was useless.

Kevin's face seemed to be engraved in her mind. No matter how hard she tried distracting her thoughts, his face lingered still in her senses.

She lost track of how long the car had been running. And finally, her weary frame gave up to the drowsiness. She managed to get rid of Kevin's figure in her mind and fell asleep in her seat.

When they arrived home, Sam parked the car steadily in the driveway. He had thought of multiple ways to wake up Anne but when she saw her sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to do so.

This could have been her first quality sleep since God knew when.

In her deep sleep, Anne moved a limb, and Sam's borrowed coat slipped down from her shoulder.

She was quiet as a feline when she was asleep. Without the usual indifference and alienation, she was particularly cute in Sam's eyes.

He leaned forward and gently tucked her in his coat. He didn't want her to catch a cold at this hour. She was not in the best health condition, so he had to take good care of her.

The moonlight glistened on Anne's face through the window and coated her with a faint luster.

Being that close to her face, Sam was tempted to kiss her.

Perhaps she felt something move in her seat that woke her up. She slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw Sam's gorgeous face being so close to him, Anne was stunned for a moment. She felt awkward as soon as she came to her senses.

"Sam? Sam, what are you doing?"

The two of them were so close to each other that they could hear each other's breath. Anne was a bit flustered. It was the first time she had seen Sam in a close-up.

Although they were good friends, the two maintained an indescribable outlook of ambiguity.

At first, Sam was lost in thought as he stared at Anne. When he heard her voice, he came to an epiphany. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an awkward situation.

"No, nothing. I just saw my coat fall off and I just wanted to cover you up." Sam looked away in a hurry and quickly thought of a suitable reason to prevaricate the silly circumstance.

Upon hearing that, Anne couldn't help but take a look at her clothes. Seeing that what he said was true, she breathed a sigh of relief. The embarrassment just now somewhat escaped through the window gaps.

"Didn't you say you will wake me up when we arrive? You could have tapped my shoulder."

Anne had no idea how long she had slept in the car just now. She felt uneasy when she thought of the fact that Sam had been sitting there right beside her all this time.

"I just saw you sleeping so soundly. I didn't have the heart to wake you up. You haven't had a good rest for quite some time now that's why I hesitated to disturb you in your sleep." Sam was true to his words. His eyes flashed concern when he looked at Anne.

Although it was just a typical concern, Anne felt more embarrassed. She knew clearly how he felt about her.

"Let's go inside. It's getting late." It was such a compact space in the car, and the ambiance would only become more awkward from then on if the two stayed there alone.

"You're right. Let's go inside."

Sam saw right through Anne's mind. Although he felt a bit disappointed, he still kept a subtle smile on his face.

He was like a burst of warm sunshine to people. He made them feel warm and homely.

After entering the house, Anne gave back his coat and greeted him good night before she entered her room.

Her body-warmth still lingered on his coat which made his heart tremble intensely. He had just felt her alienation.
