Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 257

In the old house of the Fu Family.

The back garden was full of a plethora of different flowers. Those fully bloomed flowers gave the place a romantic feel. Selma was watering the plants with a solemn face.

"Mrs. Selma, the servant from the East Mountain Villa called today."

Selma abruptly stopped watering and asked, "What did she say?"

All she cared about was Kevin's opinion. She refused to believe that Kevin was just pretending before and didn't actually like Rose. She was dead set on blaming Anne, thinking that Anne seduced her son and made him break his marriage with such a wonderful girl.

"Mr. Kevin said that if you don't want to see Anne, no one will force you to. He also said that it was him who would marry Anne, not you," the servant, a new recruit, spoke bluntly.

When Selma heard the message, she couldn't help but tremble in anger.

"Did Kevin say it personally? Or was it Anne who said it?" Selma asked sternly.

She felt that Kevin wasn't treating her like his mother ever since he met Anne. She was furious and threw the watering can on the ground.

"Anne! Fine! You want this? Good. I'll teach you a lesson you that you remember for a lifetime!"

After letting out a bit of anger on the watering can, Selma left the old house and decided to go to the East Mountain Villa. She was going to remind Anne who was the real hostess of the Fu Family.

"Mrs. Selma, please wait; don't be angry. I'll go and talk with Mr. Carl." Seeing her storm out, the servant shouted and did everything to make her stop. He was hoping that she would stop and re-think her approach, but she didn't falter for even a step.

Selma shoved the driver aside and got in the car with anger flaming in her eyes. Feeling helpless, the servant could only inform Carl and Kevin.

In the East Mountain Villa.

The room was serene and quiet. When Anne opened her eyes, she thought it was still early.

She looked at the closed window and didn't see any light coming in. She took out her phone and looked at the time. It was already eight fifty. She sat up immediately and wondered what made her sleep for so long today.

"It's almost nine o'clock!" Anne was shocked.

She had never gotten up so late. Moreover, she had been feeling dizzy and sleepy a lot lately.

"Anne! Come out! Don't you dare think that you can get away with anything just because Kevin fancies you. I'm his mother. He will do what I say!" A shrill voice instantly killed Anne's sleepiness and made her frown.

'It must be Selma,' Anne speculated.

She put on her slippers and walked out. And just as she speculated, she saw an angry Selma waiting to tear her apart.

In the spacious office of AN Group, there was a massive pile of documents just sitting there because Kevin still hadn't dealt with them.

The dark-colored table with everything placed neatly and not an inch out of place gave a somber feeling.

Kevin massaged his head while admiring Anne's ability. He wondered how Anne dealt with so many documents at the same time when she was the vice president of the company back then. He got tired before even finishing half of it.

Yet, when Anne's smiling face entered his mind, all the fatigue and pain just went away. He felt some new kind of power coursing through his body.

At this moment, his phone rang.

"Hello, what's up?"

When he found that it was a call from his home, his face went dark. "What happened to Anne?"

"We have no idea what's going on. Please come back quickly!" The servant hung up the phone in a hurry leaving a bewildered Kevin looking for answers. He quickly got out of his stupor, picked up his jacket, and rushed out.

"Mr. Kevin, the meeting is about to begin," his assistant reminded him nervously when he saw him leaving with a dark face.

"Cancel it! No, cancel all that are scheduled for today." After giving a hasty order, Kevin went to his exclusive elevator.

"W-what? Cancel all meetings?" The assistant turned left and right as if looking for answers in the oblivion. Nobody paid him any mind, and in the end, he just shook his head in defeat.

On the way, Kevin drove with his feet firmly planted on the accelerator. In his eyes, nothing was more important than Anne. So the anxiety was killing him.

After a mere twenty minutes, Kevin was at his home. The door was open, and he could hear quarreling.

"I will never let you take my son away from me, Anne! You are not allowed to enter our house for the rest of your life!" Selma would become terrible whenever she was angry. She even pushed Anne away when she tried to calm her down.

The push was quite the deciding factor for Anne. Her dizziness from the morning had not yet gone. So the push, along with her already dizzy head, made her wanna have a little rest, so she just closed her eyes.

"Mrs. Selma! Anne fainted!"

"What?" Obviously, Selma was also shocked. Fear was slowly growing on her face.

However, Selma didn't believe it. "Impossible! She must be pretending!"

Even though she thought Anne was quite an eyesore, she wasn't sure whether she was pretending or not. She decided to calm down first.

"Should we find someone to check on Miss Anne?"

Just as the servant finished speaking, Kevin rushed into the room.

"Kevin, why are you back?" Selma was shocked. Never did she expect that Kevin would come back when Anne fainted on the floor, and she looked like the obvious culprit.
