Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 212

"I want to see Anne Luo. Do you know where she is?" Kevin asked optimistically.

His question made the managers frown. Indeed, the vice president had brought a woman named Anne Luo today. They were already advised that everyone should take good care of the new valuable designer, but the looming man in front of them was obviously up to no good.

"I'm afraid that there is no such person in here. You must have made a mistake."

However, as her presence was being denied, Anne ran into Kevin as Mark toured her to familiarize herself in the workplace.

"Anne, why are you hiding from me?" Kevin was numbing especially when he saw that Anne and Mark were closely laughing and having a good time.

The woman he missed day and night had perfectly adapted to a new-found life so soon while he couldn't bear her absence and was constantly uneasy even in his sleep.

With a sneer, Anne knocked Kevin's hand to the side.

"And why would I hide from you? I owe you nothing. As you can see, I am here because I found a new job and a fresh start while you found yourself a new fiancee. I think it is for the best if we mind our own businesses and stop bothering each other from now on," said Anne coldheartedly.

Kevin froze in a chilling daze.

He knew that their relationship was already falling apart piece by piece, but it was far more overwhelming when the reality they faced came from Anne's mouth.

With her sharp frank words, Kevin's heart sank.

"You can leave now. I don't need you snooping around here. The only bridge between us is our child, so please take good care of him. I don't want to blame on anyone for what happened in the past," said Anne candidly.

She might have appeared as tough as a rock, but she found out that she was not as strong yet. The harsh words might have come from her tongue, but what it meant also choked her windpipe in pain.

From the towers of joy that she felt when she was about to marry, to the current tormenting grief that she constantly fought off, she never expected them to make her give up in the end and succumb to the misfortune that they faced.

Little did Anne know that Kevin showed up to tell her something else. He wanted to inform her of the truth about Liam. But after arriving at her heated temperament, he knew that saying it would only make her hate him even more.

"Anne, I never gave up on you, so why are you giving up on me now?" Kevin puzzled her with a feeble smile. His tone was definitely more questioning this time.

Hearing his piercing bullet-like dispute, Anne was left with a hanging jaw. Did Kevin had no idea why she left? How could he point the finger at her now?

Seeing the dubious expression on Anne's face, Mark knew that the height of the situation would only trigger her to explosion if it continued.

"Mr. Kevin, if you have any questions, you can just come back some other time to ask them after you figure things out. She is my colleague now, and she has nothing to do with you legally. So, if you barge in through our doors again and cause a commotion, then forgive me because I would have to dismiss you out of our premises. Mark gave his final warning with absoluteness.

Kevin was not at all fazed by Mark's threat. But when he saw Anne pale as snow, he was deeply affected.

He glanced at Anne and thought that she didn't deserve to shoulder such a grave burden of worry in her face. In his respect for her, Kevin left without saying another word.

In the Luo Family's residence,

the study was filled with the fragrant aroma of the freshly brewed dark tea that was steaming on top of the red table. The cup was filled to the brim, but Liam hadn't touched it at all.

Ever since he found out the truth about Anne, he had been dragging a long face through night and day. He had known enough about her daughter who suddenly reemerged out of the blue in his life.

She was not as gentle and tolerant as Kiana. She was stubborn and strongly independent!

Liam thought that it was unfair. Rose had never endured any suffering because she was well cared for in the Luo Family like a princess while Anne had to bear through her troubles on her own. With this boggling idea running around his head, he felt guilty for Anne's sufferings.

He was pulled back to reality when the phone rang abruptly. It was Kevin who was calling.

"Did you get any news about Anne?" asked Liam anxiously.

"She's in the M Group," said Kevin dismissively.

"Which M Group? I want to see her right away!" Liam couldn’t restrain his overflowing excitement as he wanted to flee his place in a jiff.

Kevin suddenly flashed a silly grin and said, "Don’t you know that there is a massive Jewelry City in the East District? You can still catch her if you go there now."

Kevin never had a good impression of Liam, but he didn’t want to deprive Anne of the truth about who her biological father was.

Although Anne might not seek to know her lineage for the rest of her life, he was not the person to give up.

"Thank you, Kevin," said Liam as he expressed his gratitude.

But before he could even say his final words, Kevin had already hung up on the other end of the line.

Valentina heard everything as she eavesdropped on the call. The Luo Family's residence had two landlines, but both were connected in one server. After keeping herself up to date, Valentina collapsed on the sofa as she was not ready for what went through her ear.

"Mrs. Valentina, are you okay? Are you hurt?" the servant hurriedly asked in serious worry.
