Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 355 Mother And Son's Meeting

It had to be said that Ryan was clever and intelligent.

Before executing his scheme, he had already planned everything up to the last detail. Everything was going according to plan so far.

Thirty million was not a small amount. But what made Anne more distressed was not the amount of ransom, but his ploys one after another.

Ryan was a businessman, but so was Kevin. Both of them knew how to deal with this matter in the most efficient way possible.

If Kevin wanted to reduce the loss to the group, he should surrender thirty million dollars obediently.

However, who could accept being set up just like this?

Fortunately, things had not escalated to the point that there was already irreparable damage. They still had some time. It would be better if they could delay this matter for a short while.

Meanwhile, Anne was at home all day long. There were still entertainment reporters outside up until now.

Seeing them, Anne could not help but give them a thumbs up. She knew it was not easy for them to have such perseverance and diligence.

Anyway, Eddy's weight was dropping rapidly for some reason. His face, which was round and chubby before, was starting to slim down.

Even though they were recently under fire, there was no way they would forget Eddy.

Selma was so worried about her grandson that she immediately brought him to the hospital. But the doctor told them nothing was wrong with him, which made them more worried. They didn't know what had caused the child to slim down.

While Anne was in deep thought, her phone suddenly rang. She took it immediately and looked at the screen to see who was calling, but the caller ID seemed strange. She then answered the call with a frown.

"Mom..."

A faint and weak voice came from the other end of the line. The moment Anne heard it, her eyes widened in an instant.

She vividly remembered that voice. Even if this was the last thing she heard before her death came, she would still be able to recognize it.

Her child was still under Kim's control!

She covered her mouth to prevent herself from sobbing, yet tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She had always reminded herself that she was strong and that only the weak shed tears. But upon hearing Simon's voice, she could no longer restrain her weakness.

Her child needed her!

"Simon..." Anne opened her mouth to speak, yet she could only utter his name.

On the other side, there was a hint of sadness in Simon's voice. "Mom, where are you? I miss you so much."

These words were Anne's last straw as she finally burst into tears.

"Simon, my good boy, I miss you too. I miss you all the time. Where are you? I want to see you. Is Kim with you? How have you been? Did you grow taller? Tell me, did Kim hurt you?" For a long time, Anne's longing for her son had been bottled up. And now, it broke out at once.

Anne had so many things in mind that she did not know what she was saying or what to say or ask next. She was so eager to know everything about her son, see him again, and hold him in her arms.

She missed her child so much!

Although she was anxious, she figured that Kim was behind this. After all, he would never let Simon touch his phone, let alone make a call to her. Kim must be with him right now!

So what? Who would dare stop her? This was her child, her own flesh and blood!

"Mom, I want to see you," said Simon slowly after being silent for a moment.

With her hands clutching her chest, Anne squatted on the ground and cried silently. Her tears fell down on her face one after another.

"I want to see you too, Simon!" How could she not miss her own child? If it were only up to her, she would have come to him at once. However, did she have the opportunity to do that?

'Kim, you damn rogue, will you give me a chance to see my son again?'

Surprisingly, Kim gave it to her!

"If you want to see Simon, come to this place. You know my means, Anne. Don't tell anyone or else, you and Simon will get hurt. You'd better be obedient." Kim's voice was gentle, but it was still cold in people's

ears.

He was threatening her!

But what about it? As long as she could see Simon again, she was willing to pay any price!

Anne was well-aware that Kim couldn't see what she was doing now, but she still nodded her head crazily and anxiously answered, "Don't worry, Kevin won't know. Send me the address as soon as possible. I want to see my son!"

Kim told her the address and time, and she kept it in mind.

Anne seemed to be in a daze that she did not notice how long the call had been hung up. She lowered her gaze and looked down at her phone. If only it was not recorded, she would have thought that this was all a dream.

Just now, she heard Simon's voice again. Not only that, Kim promised that he would let her see his son!

It was difficult to calm down and contain her excitement right now. At the same time, she was aware of the danger if she dared to go there on her own.

Who was Kim anyway? Well, Anne knew very well that he could do anything!

What was more, Rose was still in his hands. He had not let her go yet. If he were to see Anne, he would definitely take her away.

Anne missed Simon so much and she wanted to be with him again. However, she must not forget that she was still the mother of Eddy and Sally. They needed her!

After hesitating for a long time, Anne looked at her phone again and dialed Sam's number.

On the other end of the line, Sam's voice sounded a bit cold, but the surprise was more apparent in it. "Wow! This is unusual. It's rare for you to call me!"

As a response, Anne frowned and lowered her eyes.

She had always known his feelings for her. But now, he and Emily were about to tie the knot. They were finally going to step into their happy place and be together for the rest of their lives. Sam had loved her before, and Anne knew that she must keep her distance. But did it matter now?

Well, she could only hope that Emily would understand.

"Sam, I need your help." When Anne spoke, there was a strong sense of unease in it.

With a frown, Sam listened carefully to what she had to say. He was silent the whole time she confided. For him, it was not a good idea to let Anne go to Kim alone to see her son. "Anne, I know you miss Simon so much and that you're dying to see him again. But you know, your safety is not something that you should brush aside. In my opinion, you should tell Kevin about this!" Although Sam did not want to admit that he was not as powerful as Kevin, he had to do so to convince Anne.

Personally, Anne was aware that her approach was not mature enough, but she was left with no choice.

"Kim is a cunning and devious man. If he meets Kevin's men, he'll definitely change his mind. Who knows what he'll do? Besides, I'm worried that Simon will be in danger. I left my son when he was still young, so I wasn't able to take care of him myself. You have no idea how remorseful I've been ever since. As a mother, I can't let Simon suffer and get hurt." Besides, if Kim got annoyed, it would do no good to Simon. To be honest, Anne was more worried about her son than herself.

On the other end of the line, Sam heaved a heavy sigh. "Fine. I will support whatever your decision will be. Don't worry, Anne. I'll protect you." After expressing her gratitude, Anne hung up the phone. Slowly, she got up from the floor, but it seemed that she was still too weak to do so. 'Simon, my child, will I finally be able to see you?'

When the afternoon came, Anne went out from the backdoor furtively. Sam had already finished the arrangements in advance.

The address in her hand led her to a KTV club. The place looked unremarkable on the outside, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Her child, Simon, was inside. Before entering, she took a deep breath first.

Meanwhile, Simon was curled up in Kim's arms obediently. Kim looked at his watch, his anxiety growing more intense every minute. Simon looked up at him with his innocent eyes and asked in a sweet voice, "Dad, will Mom come?"

The corner of Kim's lips curled. For some reason, he always felt better when he heard "Dad" and "Mom" from Simon's mouth.

He was aware that he was only deceiving himself, but did it matter? As long as he was happy, what could other people do? "Simon, your mother loves you very much. She'll definitely come to see you after receiving your phone call. Don't worry, okay?" Simon nodded heavily. Of course, his mother loved him very much.

While they were waiting anxiously, the door suddenly swung open with a loud noise. Simon raised his head instinctively, and his eyes widened in astonishment.

By the door was a woman, whose eyes were slightly bloodshot. She was staring straight into her eyes with fervent yearning.

The woman seemed familiar and cordial to them. It was Anne. She came as fast as she could to see her son.

Simon was in Kim's arms. Seeing this, Anne ran straight to Kim and held Simon tightly in her arms.

"Simon, I missed you so much! I'm happy that I can finally see you!" It had been a long time since she last saw her child!

In her arms, Simon sniffed his mother's scent and felt the warmth of her body. The familiarity of her mother's love made him burst into tears.

He never liked crying. In fact, he was obedient and sensible at such a young age. It was just that he could not help but get overwhelmed upon seeing his mother. It had been a long time since she left after all. "Mom, I miss you so much, I really do! I'm happy you came to see me! Promise me that you'll never leave me again, okay?" Simon was practically begging for his mother to stay.

Anne closed her eyes and bit her lip hard, making it bleed. She could discern the metallic taste of blood in her mouth.

If it was only possible, she would not leave any of her children behind.

However, she thought that what had happened in the past was all because of her incompetence. She could not protect her own son nor stop him from leaving her embrace.

She was a useless mother!

Slowly, Anne lifted her gaze and looked at Kim with tearful eyes. His head was lowered, but a complicated yet gentle look in his eyes was apparent. When he looked into her lachrymose eyes, his heart twitched and he felt a pang in it.

Was this the feeling of heartache?

"Kim, if you want money, just tell me how much you want. I'll replace a way to give it to you, I promise. Just let me take Simon with me this time, please?" Anne held her son tightly. She would no longer bear it if he got separated from her again.

To be honest, Kim's heart ached for Anne. He was not totally apathetic after all. However, his feeling suddenly dissipated and he felt numb. With a frown, he looked into her eyes.

Initially, his goal was to ask for money. But seeing her right now, money was no longer important to him.

What mattered to him most was Anne.

Unfortunately, she was so insensible and naive that she did not notice his feelings for her. It was foolish of Anne to think that money was all he wanted.

This really made him unhappy!

Kim sneered and looked at Anne coldly. "Anne, you seem to have forgotten that I've already told you what I really want." When he spoke, there was a hint of displeasure in his voice.

At that time, Anne and Kevin hurried to H City as soon as they got the news. When they met Kim, he straight up told Kevin that he wanted Anne.

What had happened was still etched in her mind vividly. How could she forget it?

But why did Kim have to bring it up now?

"Why? I'm just a tool for you to make money, right? Why do you care so much about me when all you wanted from me was to give you money?" With a frown, Anne looked at Kim in confusion. She really could not understand why he was doing this.

All she knew was Kim wanted to use her to achieve his goals. As long as he remained successful, did it matter whether she lived or not? What was Kim thinking at this very moment?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
