Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 374 Let's Divorce

Simon was well aware of the ballooning hatred that his mother had on Kim, and how she was longing for his father's embrace. So, this sudden change in his mother left him at a loss. There were times when Simon's certainty was held on a tightrope. He knew that the woman in front of him was his actual mother, yet sometimes he doubted if she was Rose.

His thoughts were tumbling like a barrel. He withdrew his gaze and looked down at the flickering shimmer of the merry-go-round. Alas, he found that the amusement park was not as lively as it was before. Meanwhile, Kevin got off the car and hurried to look for them. He was in a trance as he found himself turning back and forth in his search. All of a sudden, his entire body was left congealed. The merry-go-round was bustling with people, but a glance was enough for him to recognize a woman's silhouette.

Her hair swayed with the swiveling carousel, and her face was a hint to the feeling she felt from within. She leisurely gazed upon the child she held in her embrace. The charming sight brought a faint smile to the corners of her mouth, but she seemed alert as her uneasy eyes patrolled the surrounding every once in a while.

A full turn later and the woman's face was revealed. It was Anne, the woman he badly needed from the bottom of his heart.

The child in her arms had the dainty features of an angel. He often raised his head and smiled at his mother's eyes which seemed to be a reflection of his.

It was usual for a girl to look like her father, and a boy to his mother. Sally mirrored his facial features, and he believed that Simon mirrored Anne's.

At long last, the woman he longed for was right in front of him. He bent his legs and almost fell on his knees.

His eyes were burning with gratitude as he gazed at Anne from the distance. She slowly turned to face him and stared into his eyes.

At a glance of his face, everything that had happened between them in the past flashed like a blinding shutter in her eyes. The seemingly undelightful memories made her frown and shake her head swiftly. This was the man that played with her heart and caused her so much pain! For all she knew, he was here just because of her blood. The blood that could give birth to his children!

If it wasn't for this, then why would Kevin care about her existence?

An inkling of mockery grazed upon Anne's expression. She thought, 'Why was I such an imbecile? How did I fall in love with a man like him?'

"Anne, I finally found you..." Kevin took one step at a time as he closed the distance between them. She seemed so close, yet so far from his reach. He smiled at the thought of erasing his sorrow and marched forward towards his glee.

Her instinct told her to latch on to Simon a little bit tighter. A head-to-toe stare down at Kevin and she jumped off the carousel without hesitation.

"Anne!" Kevin was shocked by her daring act. He thought that Anne was restless to throw herself into his arms, but he felt no need to rush as it could cause danger.

Awed as he was, her next move was a bombshell. There was perplexity in her eyes as she scanned the perimeter as if she was looking for someone.

Written all over her face was the gushing contempt she felt for him. Contrary to his belief, her desire for him seemed to have disappeared!

"Anne? Are you okay? I can't believe I found you! Come here quickly." Kevin did not have the time to notice her demeanor. Excited, he threw his arms out as he slowly strode towards Anne.

"Stay away from me!" Anne shouted. She looked around, but she seemed to have not caught a glimpse of Kim anywhere.

Kevin was startled by her words as his face spelled out confusion, and the latching Simon also looked at Anne in distress.

His mother loved his father very much, and she would never betray him. He knew that his mother was yearning to be back with his father, but now that he returned, why did she look at him with such disgust? Simon furrowed his brows as it made no sense.

"Hey, Anne? Are you okay? It's me, Kevin! I found you!" said Kevin as he held back his screams into a whisper.

With a pair of squinted eyes, Anne sneered at the man in front of him. Without saying a word, she turned around and immediately left with Simon in her arms.

Her back showed how feeble her frame was, but her demeanor spoke so much courage.

Kevin's heart throbbed as she walked away and the uncertainty left him in a daze. What was wrong with Anne? What happened to her? Her determination to leave him was so overwhelming that it placed Kevin in a state of panic!

'No, I can't let her go. By and by, I found her. What's going to stop me from bringing her back?

What's more, Sally and Eddy are waiting for their mother to come back home.' Kevin was firm about his promise that he would bring Anne back to their children safe and sound!

He gritted his teeth and ran abruptly. He stopped exactly in front of Anne which halted her escape.

Vigilance glared at Kevin straight in the eye the moment he faced Anne.

"Anne? Talk to me. What's wrong? What's with the silly look? Look at me. It's me!" Kevin focused on her as his heart pounded with eagerness.

Anne took a few steps back as she looked at him as if he was garbage. His face was the best reminder of her terrible past! She replied coldly, "Kevin, I have a proposal. Let's divorce!" "What did you say?" Kevin looked at Anne in disbelief as he felt a lightning strike him from out of the blue. What did she say just now? Was Anne taking the initiative to divorce him? They vowed to spend the rest of their lives together, right? They said that they would stick together through thick and thin, but why was Anne talking about such a horrifying thing? Kevin gnashed his teeth and grabbed her by the arm. His face was fuming with anger as he roared, "You better think clearly about what the hell you just said, Anne!"

She tried to shake him off, but his hand was latched tight onto her. Obviously, she was no match for him. Helplessly, she had no choice but to place Simon on the ground.

Simon was her child, and she would do everything to protect him, but he too was the child of Kevin. The blood of the Fu's was so precious that she was confident that Kevin would not dare to lay a heavy hand on Simon.

The boy raised his head and gazed upon his father. Then, he bit his lips and turned to look at Anne. The sight of quarrel seemed to have made conflict in his heart as he helplessly stood beside his mother. Simon reckoned how his mother kept telling him and Sally that their family would become whole once again. They would get their father back and be a happy family forever! But today, that did not seem to be the case. What was wrong with his mother?

"Kevin, listen to me. I want a divorce!" exclaimed Anne. She reiterated her words as she was unable to get rid of him. She gave up on struggling and made her point clear.

A tinge of sorrow flashed through Kevin's eyes. He pursed his lips, furrowed his brows, and gazed at Anne vulnerably. He said in a soft voice, "Anne, please don't make things worse. Let's go home, and we can talk about your proposal after, okay? Stop talking about things that would break our family because I can't stand the thought of it. If you are mad because I'm long overdue, then I am willing to face any punishment you throw on me.

Just don't talk about divorce. I don't even want to hear that word anymore!"

Kevin was unstoppable and domineering all his life, but now, his pride seemed to have vanished with the wind. The word 'divorce' was just too much for him!

It was like a dull knife that sawed back and forth through his delicate heart. It made it harder for him to breathe as if it was choking him to death.

However, Anne saw him differently. His sincere appearance was sickening to her eyes.

'Men are the masters of disguise. This facade made me fall in love with him, but it's a pity that I am no longer the foolish woman that I was before. This act of pretentious sentiment doesn't move me anymore,' she pondered.

"Kevin, if it weren't for the blood that runs through my veins, how important am I to you?"

Perhaps it was wishful thinking that made me believe that I could win your heart, but I don't want to be with you anymore. Let's just get divorced. You can take custody of the children if you want, but please don't bother me anymore!" said Anne in a bland tone. She showed no emotions and heartlessly pushed Simon towards Kevin.

Surprised, he rushed on his knees and held Simon in his arms as he looked at her in disbelief.

He knew very well that her children meant the world to her. Never in a million lifetimes would he expect Anne to easily give away the life that she bared and brought into this world.

The madness caused Kevin a splitting headache. He locked eyes with Anne, who was overwhelmingly peculiar.

What happened to Anne when she disappeared? How could his beloved Anne be so cruel? What the hell did Kim do to her?

As Kevin tried to piece the puzzle together, Anne sneered at him. She said, "I was too gullible in the past. But now, I am reborn. I love Kim!"

Kevin's eyes seemed to pop out of his skull as he asked in extreme cynicism, "What? How could that be?"

She made it clear to her that she hated Kim! How could she fall in love with him and turn the hate towards Kevin?

"You got to be kidding me!" Kevin raised his head and burst into laughter. At that moment, he thought of Rose, and this enlightened his understanding of what was going on.

Rose had been sent to the hospital, and results showed how a special substance in her blood might have affected her mental state!

What she liked before, she hated it now. What she hated before, she loved it!

What was happening with Anne was conclusively the same as Rose's condition.

Seeing his mother's hurtful behavior, Simon felt burned. Tears welled up in his eyes as he gazed at his mother in shock. He could not believe that the mother he loved would abandon him just like that! His mother had given up everything just to be with him, but now she was giving him away!

Simon shook his head in doubt as he wrestled his way out of Kevin's arms. He rushed to hug Anne and deafeningly cried. He pleaded, "Mommy, please don't do this to me! From now on, I will be very obedient and I will never make you angry again. I'm so sorry, Mommy!"

The little boy's wailing caused more annoyance in Anne. She scowled and opted to punch him away, but a glimpse from the poor boy's face brought some pity back to her heart.

At last, she heaved a sigh of helplessness. She looked at Kevin and said, "No matter what happened, we have always loved each other, but we should get divorced. We do it properly and peacefully. Once we are back in A City, we'll arrange the paperwork. After that, we are nothing but strangers!"

Kevin listened to her painful words as he closed his eyes in sorrow. He bobbed his head slightly and flashed a crooked smile.

The reason why Anne loathed him so much now was that she loved him very much!

"Listen to me. What you are feeling now is abnormal. The more you hate someone in your heart, the more it shows just how much you love him. Think about Rose. You have the same condition as her! It seems to me like Kim had brainwashed you with the injection, and your mind is in a state of chaos, but trust me. It doesn't matter. Come back with me, and I will fix you. I will make you go back to the real you!" Kevin had a tamed expression of gentleness and care as he looked at Anne. It was as if he was careful not to scare her away!

Then, he gazed down at Simon and said, "Hey, little bud. It's not that your mommy doesn't love you anymore, she was just injected with a specific medicine which caused her to act like this."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
