Attracted By My Ex-wife -
Chapter 376 The Only Solution Was Anne
On the other side, Kim, a cunning man, had moved into a new residence. He could be seen standing on the balcony, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, squinting slightly and looking into the distance. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, not to mention that the air was a little cold.
"Boss, why did you do that?" Confused, Kim's loyal subordinate looked at him with narrowed eyes.
They had made great efforts in order to kidnap Anne, but today, he left her there on purpose so that Kevin could replace her.
There was a saying that twice was enough for a wise man. After Kevin was tricked two times, he promised himself that there would never be a third time. He made sure that he would make it even more difficult for them if they wanted to kidnap Anne once more.
What confused him was the fact that Kim actually liked her so much. Knowing that, what he had done bothered him more.
Kim frowned slightly and looked at the sky above him, tightening his grip on the glass of red wine in his hand.
He could see how Anne changed a lot for the past few days. Little by little, she started to look at him with more gentleness and fondness in her eyes. He knew that she was slowly falling in love with him.
But whenever he faced her, he always had a feeling that all of it was not real. The changed Anne was definitely a lot different from the Anne whom he knew before.
The Anne that he liked was a strong independent woman, which always made him unable to resist her. But now, she had become very gentle.
Perhaps it was because he himself couldn't quickly catch up with how she was changing, or that Kevin had been forcing him which was why he decided to solve his problem with Kevin using her.
It was definitely not him who could solve the problem with that man, rather Anne, and only her. She was the only one who could make him give up.
"She can't always be Kevin's wife. I want her to belong to me completely, but that guy was standing in my way. But she will help me solve that, since she is the only one that could deal with him. That's why I left her alone for Kevin to replace," he explained to his subordinate as he put down his wine glass with a heavy hand.
Time passed by, so now Anne and Kevin were finally able to return to the Fu Family.
But while they were still in the car on their way to the house, she reminded him, "Hey, don't forget what you promised me in the amusement park, alright? We both have to go through the processes and requirements of our divorce as soon as possible."
Kevin's fingers were slowly folded into a fist as his eyes burned with coldness, but he nodded slightly.
However, even though he nodded, he did not really have any intentions to divorce her. He promised himself that he would never part with her unless he died.
Selma told Eddy what had happened. After the kid accepted it, the three of them came to greet Anne as soon as she got out of the car with Simon in her arms.
Sally was the only one that Simon knew among all the people there, so he was the most excited to see her. She was also very happy to see her brother so she immediately ran over to approach them as she shouted, "Mom! Brother!"
Anne lowered her head and looked at her daughter, finally in front of her. She noticed that she looked like Kevin more. She remembered how she used to like how her daughter looked, but now, it seemed that a lot about her had changed. For one, she felt strange when she looked at her daughter.
This child seemed to be a lot different from how she remembered her.
Simon was also very happy to see Sally so he immediately let go of his mother's hand and hugged his sister tightly.
"Sally, I missed you so much. We're finally here, together. But... you seem to have changed a lot. You became much thinner compared to when we last saw each other." He carefully pinched his sister's cute face, looking puzzled.
Sally's eyes turned red as tears immediately ran down her face. She raised her head and looked at her mother with grievance. Ever since Anne disappeared, she had been worried about her all the time. "Mom, do you remember what you told me? You promised me that you wouldn't leave me again, but you broke that promise!" She looked at her mother, still crying out of grievance.
Anne frowned, slowly squatted down to meet her daughter's eye level, and wiped the tears from her face. However, she felt very conflicted deep inside her heart.
She and Kevin were going to split up. She knew that once they filed their divorce, her children would no longer be under her custody. But she didn't want to give up on them because being away from them would only make her sad.
She gave birth to her children at the expense of her own life, so how could she not love them unconditionally?
She sighed as she held Sally in her arms, looked up to see Eddy, and then waved at him.
The boy was hesitant at first, but he walked towards her after a while. His grandmother had told him that he should expect a lot of changes from his mother when she came home, but still he couldn't refuse the warmth of his mother's embrace.
Even Kevin didn't expect that Anne would do that. What he expected was that she would not hold their children like this anymore, and yet...
He and Selma looked at each other, nodded, and smiled. They understood what each other meant even though they didn't say a thing. Perhaps it was because the children were too important to Anne. That was why even though the drug had changed her thoughts and how her brain worked, it still wouldn't change the maternal instinct that she had towards her children.
In any case, it was a good thing!
"Well, let's go inside and talk." The night was quite cold, so Selma invited them to go inside.
With the three children in her arms, Anne slowly walked into their house. A sense of happiness arose in her heart. It seemed to be the most satisfying thing for her to be with her children. Thinking about it, this was actually the first instance that she was with all three of them at the same time.
Yet, they would be apart from each other again in a few days because of the divorce.
When she realized this, she tightened her arms and held her three children closely beside her.
Kevin sat on the sofa with deep eye bags, the fatigue in his eyes showing. But still, seeing that Anne was finally there with them, it pleased him a lot. Even with all the exhaustion that he felt, he still managed to flash a smile.
He had always hoped that Anne and the children would be by his side forever. It was enough for him to see that they were finally complete. His dream for his family finally came true!
But to his surprise, Anne suddenly looked up at him in disgust and shouted coldly, "Kevin, no matter what, I am their mother, and I always will be! So I decided that I will not let all of them stay here. I should at least take one of them with me!"
Eddy raised his head and looked at his mother in shock. What was she talking about?
Kevin smiled, not minding it all and just nodded. "Sure! You may even have all three them, if you want. No one will compete against you
them."
Anne looked at him in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would be willing to let her have all the children.
Selma, on the other hand, just frowned and sighed slightly, then she turned around and went upstairs. Whoever Anne was now, it made Selma feel hopeless. She simply didn't want to waste her time on her. After a long awkward silence, Anne asked, "Really?"
Kevin nodded and added, "Of course. And besides the three of them, I would also willingly give myself to you, if you want."
Her face darkened when she heard that. She didn't expect him to be so shameless. She continued, "We would no longer have any relationship after the divorce, so you and I won't be together anymore." She left with the three children as soon as she said that. Kevin looked at them as they all walked away, smiled slightly, and then sighed as he slowly closed his eyes.
He was really tired. He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he last had enough sleep. Now he just needed to rest well, then he could continue solving their current problem.
He believed that, no matter what it took, he would replace a way to bring his wife back!
On the other side, Sam had been working in the hospital for a few days. He frowned as he looked at the moon outside. Yes, he hadn't been home for three days because he didn't really know how to face Emily Back at home, no matter what he said to her, she would only nod perfunctorily in agreement. They hadn't even consummated their marriage yet!
As he thought of this, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. Before they got married, the two of them had been getting along so well. He had never imagined that they would be like this now. Even after pondering about the matter over and over again, he still couldn't figure out what he had done to make her so mad at him.
The two of them didn't speak to each other whenever they were both at home. There had been nothing present in the room except for the awkwardness between them.
Love and patience were no longer in the air whenever they were together. So, in his desperation, he just decided to stay in the hospital after having second thoughts about it. Maybe after Emily thought everything through, their relationship would be able to recover.
Letting out a heavy sigh, he smiled mockingly at himself again and glanced at the file in his hand.
Now that Anne had been injected with this drug, it worried him. This was dangerous and very risky, so he needed to carefully study it.
Just then, he heard someone push the office door open. Sam thought it was his assistant so he asked casually without turning around, "It's so late. Why haven't you gone home yet?"
However, no one answered. It was so silent that he only felt a pair of burning eyes staring at him.
Frowning slightly, he raised his head and looked at the direction of the door. When he saw who it was, he stood up abruptly.
It never occurred to him that the person who entered his office was Emily, his wife.
There was no expression on her face. She just looked at him blankly, which made him feel suffocated. He didn't know how to react. He could only twitch the corners of his mouth stiffly, and ask her in a soft voice, "E... Emily... Why are you here?"
With a frown on her face, she put the lunch box that she was holding onto the table, and said coldly, "You didn't go home for three days, so my only choice was to come here and see you. I made this specially for you. Come, have a taste.
But if you have already eaten and you're still full, then I'll just go and take it with me."
"Wait, no!" Sam shook his head vigorously, looked at her and said, "I haven't eaten anything yet, so I'm really hungry."
He sat down on his chair again and opened the lunch box that she brought for him. When he saw that all his favorite food was in it, his cold heart slowly melted. He raised his head slightly to look at Emily, who was also looking at him with a lighthearted expression on her face.
He knew deep in her heart that she still loved him, and yet...
He ate all his favorite food as if he was chewing wax, thinking that it could be his bitter punishment. He had no choice but to put down his chopsticks after a few bites. He asked her, "Emily, haven't you untied the knot in your heart?"
She frowned when she heard what he just told her. She didn't expect Sam to ask her such a question. She sneered and replied, "I never had any knot in my heart. I am just waiting for you all along. When can you give me a chance, Sam? When can you forget about Anne so that you could truly fall in love with me?"
Sam subconsciously held his forehead and looked at her eyes.
"Emily, don't you see it? I've already fallen in love with you. I don't love Anne anymore. Why won't you believe me? I just had no choice that time!"
Emily lowered her head and fell into silence. Although he had always emphasized that he didn't love Anne anymore, she knew that, in his heart, she could never be as important to him as Anne. Otherwise, why would he stay here for three nights?
"According to Rose's memory, Kim had injected her with some kind of a liquid drug. Now Kim has caught Anne. Even though you didn't tell me, I know that you have been studying how to formulate an antidote for it." She frowned and opened her mouth, but she didn't go on with what she originally wanted to say. She just shouted internally in her heart and said nothing more.
'If you didn't worry about her, then why didn't you go home for three days?
If it really is not because of Anne, then how could you be so cold to me after the marriage?
If I hadn't been Anne's assistant before, how could you have been with me?'☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
