Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 203

It was a golden day with filtered sunlight that sharply contrasted Anne's mood.

She walked under the vivid blue sky with a blank look on her face. Her headache still hadn't completely gone away as the breeze blew on a few strands of her hair.

It was getting chillier as the wind continued to shift. The sun might have been up but her hands were cold.

When she arrived at the East Mountain Villa, she stood outside for a long time, not going in.

As she kept her gaze frontwards, her forehead puckered.

She wasn't welcome here and it was not like she wanted to be here either. A bitter smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. Why didn't she just learn that there was no use trying to force something that wasn't meant for her?

"Miss Anne, why don't you go in?" the servant asked upon opening the door and spotting Anne standing outside.

"Okay." Without another word, Anne walked inside the villa.

She looked around for Eddy but she couldn't find him.

She searched every corner but it seemed that he was nowhere to be found. Sneering, she muttered to herself, "How heartless of you, Kevin."

With that, she left the East Mountain Villa. She ignored the servant calling her from behind.

If Eddy wasn't here, there was no reason for her to be here. It was just a house—not a home.

When two hours had passed, Kevin arrived at the villa. The first thing he noticed was that Anne wasn't there.

"Mr. Kevin, Miss Anne is not here. She went out," the servant blurted out.

Kevin's face transformed as he visibly tried to restrain himself. He barked, "Where did she go?"

"I don't know," the servant stammered in fear.

Kevin made his way to the couch, propping his forehead on his palms. His head was throbbing. Yesterday, Anne didn't come home. Today, she left before he came back. What was she doing?

"Anne, why did you leave?" He balled his hand into a fist as he slammed it on the table with great force, the table shaking from the impact.

Meanwhile, the Well Hotel was generously lit—the place was serene and warm.

The atmosphere almost made Anne forget about the despair that dominated her heart.

She had boiled water in her room for some warmth. She cupped the glass of hot water in her hands, relishing the heat.

She had opened the windows so she could enjoy the lovely night view outside.

It looked beautiful and melancholic.

Her soft curls shone in the faint light.

Just as she was beginning to relax, the phone rang.

The caller ID read Mr. Kevin.

"Kevin, what do you want?" Anne said slowly and then hung up the call right away.

She turned her phone off so that no one would be able to disturb her.

She was not at all worried about Eddy's safety—she just missed him so much.

Ever since she gave birth to Eddy, she couldn't care less whom Kevin would end up marrying. All she knew was that she loved Eddy and he was her son.

Meanwhile, on the road just outside of the East Mountain Villa, Kevin pulled over under a street lamp.

Silence filled the air. The East Mountain Villa was located in the suburbs after all so there was no one else around but him.

He stared at his phone before he dialed Anne's number. After three beeps, the call was dropped.

He tried calling her again but it seemed that this time her phone had been turned off already.

"Damn it!" Kevin pounded his fists on the steering wheel as rage burned in his eyes.

He then made another call.

"Alan, could you check the surveillance videos of the whole city? Please look for Anne."

Alan suddenly got up from his comfortable bed when he saw that Kevin had called him.

"What's going on?" Kevin still sounded angry at the topic of Anne.

He had already checked the surveillance videos in the hospital to make sure that his sister's death was because of Cherry since it was her fingerprints on the oxygen machine after all. He felt sorry for Anne but that didn't change the fact that he still disliked her.

"I'm giving you another chance. Cherish it," Kevin said coldly before hanging up the phone. When Alan heard the dial tone, he screamed in frustration.

It took only about half an hour for Kevin to trace Anne's whereabouts using various surveillance footage from all over the city.

"Mr. Kevin, she's in the Well Hotel. Do you need me to take you there?" He knew what Kevin was capable of which was primarily why he was scared of him. He just hoped that Kevin would let go of him and his family.

"No need. You can go back to sleep."

With that, Kevin raced off to Well Hotel. In just under 20 minutes, he arrived at the hotel.

It was already 11 in the evening.
