Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 217

In one of the offices inside the AN Group, the clock was ticking sonorously amidst the quiet afternoon. The sound came from the silver mechanical watch that sat casually on the table, where it shone with a good luster in the light. It looked expensive in every way.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. When Kevin opened it, he saw his jittery assistant.

"Mr. Kevin, your mother just called. She asked you to pay the Luo Family a visit tonight," the assistant uttered the words with care.

"No." Kevin immediately declined without any hint of hesitation.

His voice, which sounded so firm and annoyed, made the assistant feel more nervous. "But Mr. Kevin, Mrs. Selma insisted that you go. Otherwise, I would get fired..." the assistant said in a soft voice.

"Do you think I care? That's not my problem," Kevin coldly retorted.

The assistant knew just what kind of person Kevin was. More than hearing about private things, his boss hated mentioning them at work the most. At this point, he admitted that he committed a big mistake, thus he was already expecting to receive bad news soon.

"Yes, Mr. Kevin. Understood."

Knowing that he couldn't persuade Kevin, the assistant frowned in distress and prepared to leave.

However, before he could reach for the door, his boss stopped him and said, "Hang on."

"Yes, Mr. Kevin? Anything else?"

"Do you know where Anne is right now?" Kevin asked indifferently.

However, the moment he uttered her name, he suddenly felt his heart soften.

"She's staying with the Luo Family at the moment. It seems that they have recognized her, but she has only been there for about three days."

As though he had heard something unexpected, Kevin stopped writing. There was a flash of worry in his deep eyes above his tall nose.

He didn't know whether she was uncomfortable or if anyone bullied her at that place. It vexed him to think about her when she had gone overboard, yet he still couldn't help but care.

After a fierce struggle in his heart, Kevin still found himself unable to defeat his concern for Anne. Then, with a flat tone, he instructed his assistant, "Prepare the car. I'm going to the Luo Family's manor."

"Yes, Mr. Kevin. Right away."

The sunset painted a beautiful scenery outside. The clouds were shining in the sky, enveloping the classic European-style mansion of the Luo Family. It looked absolutely captivating.

As Kevin's car arrived at the gate of the manor, the servant opened the door to see who it was. However, the moment she saw Kevin, she felt terribly flustered that she hurriedly called Valentina.

Unfortunately, Valentina wasn't home. She went and accompanied Rose to see the engagement jewelry, so Liam was the only one left in the house.

Although he was used to the occasions, Liam was still shocked the second he saw Kevin's imposing manner.

"Mr. Liam, it seems I've come at an inopportune moment." Kevin reckoned with a striking smile.

"Indeed. You can sit down and have some rest first. I'm sure that Rose will be ecstatic to see you once they return," Liam said with a trace of worry in his voice.

Considering the status of the young man in front of him, Liam felt embarrassed to just let Kevin go home. Be that as it might, Rose might still be gone for a while and would probably come back at a later time.

"That's all right." Kevin was very easygoing today, which made Liam feel a little strange. After all, it was not that often that he saw the young man this way.

They waited for a while, but instead of seeing Rose, Anne was the one who arrived first at the mansion.

She came back to pack up her stuff. However, the moment she saw Kevin, she immediately looked down towards the ground, not expecting this surprise visit.

Noticing this, Kevin stood by the door. Anne tried to move aside, but he deliberately stood in front of her to block her way.

"Excuse me, please." With the way Kevin was messing with her, Anne couldn't help but talk to him dispassionately.

When Liam saw them from the living room, he anxiously called for his daughter, "Anne, come here and tell Lucy what you want to eat."

Right then, she pushed Kevin away and swiftly entered the room.

She passed by them and pulled a long face as she responded, "There's no need for that. I just came here to pack my things up and leave right away."

Anne made sure she voiced it out as plain and direct as she could. Besides, she didn't have any strong attachment to anyone in the Luo Family. It was enough for her that they recognized and acknowledged her as a part of their family.

On the other hand, this was not the case for Liam. He thought that the reason why Anne was in a bad mood was due to Kevin's unexpected presence.

The thing that worried him the most was that she would run into Kevin. Now that the unfortunate incident finally happened, he felt rather uneasy.

"Are you really leaving, Anne? Did I do something wrong?" There was an obvious hint of guilt in his voice as he spoke to his daughter.

Although Anne heard Liam clearly, she pretended as though she didn't hear him. It was true that seeing her ex-husband upset her, but it wasn't the only reason why she decided to leave. She already had a home of her own, hence she didn't need to endure living in a suffocating place.

As much as possible, she wanted to stay away from the Luo Family, the Ye Family, and especially the Fu Family.

"No, you didn't. It's my own decision. Take care of yourself." Knowing that her father was just deeply concerned about her, she didn't dare to speak to him in a cold tone, like what she did when she first came here.

"But tomorrow's Saturday. It means that you don't have to go to work. Can't you postpone your departure until tomorrow morning so that you can rest properly first? I'll ask someone to drive you home if you want," Liam insisted with a caring voice.

Sensing his father's sincerity, Anne was unable to refuse his offer.

During this time, she couldn't even go to her bedroom because she had to talk with Liam. At the same time, Kevin just sat opposite her. He didn't say anything, but he kept staring at her with a meaningful smile on his face.

Anne felt extremely apprehensive. Whenever she saw Kevin's smile, it was as if her heart was being pierced by sharp needles.

Then, all of a sudden, Liam's phone rang.

He went to answer the phone, looking quite happy. However, as he finished the call, there was a visible frown on his face, especially after seeing the uncomfortable situation between Anne and Kevin.
