Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 274

Indeed, what the assistant said was right. It would be beneficial, but it would not serve Kevin's goals.

"Make a new plan. The old town should be reconstructed, not destroyed," Kevin said calmly.

The assistant looked at Kevin in disbelief, "But the whole board of directors approved this plan. I don't think it's a good idea to go against them."

Kevin sneered, "Tell everyone that this is my private project and that the company has nothing to do with it."

Hearing this, the assistant was even more confused. Why would Kevin do this? But at this point, Kevin's face was grim. One look at him and the assistant could only swallow back his objections.

"Okay, I'll work on it right away. We need to come up with a new plan. We haven't done this sort of project before so it would definitely take up some time."

With a smile, Kevin spoke in a less serious tone. "I'll come up with the plan myself. Once I'm done, I'll leave the execution to my subordinates."

Given his firm attitude, his assistant decided to do as he was told, even though he wasn't sure if the idea was feasible or not.

"Okay." And with that, he gave his boss a slight bow and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Kevin relaxed as soon as the office became quiet again. He could tell that the man who just stepped out didn't agree with his plans. But all Kevin cared about was giving Anne a town.

At that point, the ringing of his phone broke the silence. One of his servants was calling him.

"Hello, Mr. Kevin. Miss Anne wanted me to ask you when you would come home."

It was standard procedure. Before Kevin's arrival at the house, the cook must prepare all his meals about half an hour in advance. Dinner would be served by the time he got back. The servant's question made him smile. He had never been told that Anne was asking for him before. But that day, he allowed himself to dream that one day, the servant would be referring to Anne as Mrs. Anne.

"I'm running a little late. Let Anne have her dinner first. Tell her not to wait for me," Kevin said with a gentle smile.

As much as he wanted to be with Anne, that would have to wait. He wanted to treat her to a special surprise. He hoped that this gesture would help her forget her unfortunate past, and instead, give her beautiful memories.

A few hours later, night had fallen at the East Mountain Villa.

The clock had already struck seven, and yet Kevin had still not come home.

Anne looked calm, but she couldn't fight the restlessness in her heart. She missed Kevin terribly whenever he was away.

But suddenly, the corners of her lips turned into a smile. When did she become like this? Since when did she start feeling inconsolable without Kevin?

"Mom!"

As soon as the servant finished feeding Eddy, the little boy ran up to his mother and curled up by her feet. Although he was just a child, Anne couldn't tell what he was thinking, especially when he wasn't saying anything.

"Are you sleepy?" Anne asked when he saw Eddy close his eyes. The child used to always sleep at this hour.

But Eddy hadn't been looking well for the last two days. Anne feared that his condition was serious. Looking at her baby, she couldn't help but frown.

The villa in RAR City sprawled over thousands of square meters.

Despite its space, however, the estate looked particularly empty. The decor inside gave it an air of luxury, but stepping inside would make anyone feel that it was cold and empty.

Nicholas hung up the phone with a mischievous smile. Everything was going according to his plan. He liked this feeling very much. He might not have been physically present, but he controlled everything from behind the scene and emerged the victor.

This was what life was all about.

"We're going to meet again, Anne," he muttered to himself as his expression contorted into a malicious grin.

The table in the ward where Eddy was staying was decorated with plants.

There were succulents and short vines dangling over some flower pots.

Eddy stared at these plants with big, round eyes. He seemed to be very interested in them.

He stretched out his arms to reach for the leaves.

It took a while before Anne finally noticed that her son was almost about to topple down, struggling to touch the plants. Before he could hurt himself, the mom pulled back the helpless child to his seat.

"Eddy, Sam is a kind and generous man, but you must never touch his plants," she said in a half-joking tone.

But Eddy didn't understand. He merely blinked back at Anne with confusion in his eyes. "Listen, sweetie. These plants are gifts from your Aunt Emily. Although Sam doesn't say much, I know he treasures these very much."

Hearing her words, Sam couldn't help but blush. What Anne said was right. The plants were indeed gifts from Emily, and it was because they were from her that he prized them a lot.

"Okay." Eddy lowered his head, seeming to understand a bit.

"Well, stop making fun of me, Anne. You've really changed so much." Sam spoke seriously while looking at her.
