Attracted By My Ex-wife

"I'm fine," Anne said with a half-hearted smile. It was rare for Kevin to look and sound so thoughtful, which made her wonder if everything that happened was real.

In one swift movement, he picked her up in his arms and headed upstairs to her bedroom.

"Put me down! I'm fine. I can walk by myself," she insisted.

"Don't worry. I've got you. Besides, we're indoors. What are you so worried about?" Kevin said confidently.

His overbearingness made her a bit displeased. However, she couldn't deny that the way he was caring for her made her feel nice. It was as they were finally able to be together harmoniously like two normal people.

"I..." she stammered, wanting to protest further. But the words were just caught in her throat. Just like that, she was helplessly whisked away. Kevin effortless opened the bedroom door while she was still in his arms. Then, he gently laid her down on the bed.

"I'm going to bed. Good night."

After saying that, Anne buried herself under the soft blanket and closed her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Kevin had grown some affinity towards her aloofness. In fact, he was starting to think that it was kind of lovely and cute.

Bending down, he brushed the hair on her face and kissed her lightly on her forehead. Right after, he turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

As soon as the door closed with a click, Anne opened her eyes. There was a faint smile on her lips that she didn't even notice was there.

Meanwhile, Kevin returned to his own room. Instead of going straight to bed, he turned on his computer and continued to write the draft. Glancing at the time, he saw that it was almost ten o'clock. This draft needed to be ready for Ms. Sophia by tomorrow. Without any more delay, he went straight to work.

The story he wrote was about everything that happened between him and Anne. There were a lot horrible things that happened, filled with bizarre twists and turns. Although it seemed unbelievable, this was what really happened in their lives.

At last, Kevin was done writing. It was already four o'clock in the morning. A sense of fulfillment washed over him. Breathing a sigh of relief, he stood up and went to lie down on his bed, not bothering to change his clothes or get under the covers.

Later that morning, Anne woke up rather early. This was usually the case when she had a nice, deep sleep. Even though it was only six o'clock in the morning, it was already very bright in Paris.

Outside, the sun had only begun to rise. The sky was a lovely wash of pinks and oranges, almost as if it was made out of sweet cotton candy.

With a stretch and a yawn, Anne got out of bed and went to get a glass of water. Inevitably, she passed by Kevin's bedroom. The door had been left open, and she saw him sprawled onto the bed, quietly snoring.

Usually, he woke up first before she did. Since he always had a lot of things to do, he always had a fixed time for sleeping. But now, it seemed like he had tired himself too much last night.

Tiptoeing, Anne walked in and gently put a blanket on him. She carefully looked at him to check if he would wake up. To her surprise, she saw the dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing that his computer was still on, she realized that he must have been up all night finishing the draft he was going to give to Sophia.
