Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 293

The night was beautiful, a special night on the sea. The sky kissed the water and there was nothing in between them. However, the stars seemed to be so far away and it was perhaps because of desolation.

As Anne walked into the garden, she heard some voices cutting through the calmness of the night. She wasn't interested in their business but the ringing voices were hard to ignore.

"Mom, go home. Don't look for him anymore. If you want to gamble outside, I will give you money but don't look for that man. I won't let you see him." Kim's voice was firm and there was no room for negotiation. He looked at her with a stern expression on his face.

The woman's voice became exceptionally sharp. "Shut up! You are just a bastard that I never wished for. How can you say that to me? He is your father, the person I love the most." She pointed at him with her hand trembling in anger. "You! You are the reason why he won't come back!"

As Anne heard those words, it suddenly occurred to her what Kim had said. This was probably the time his mother was sober.

However, Anne felt that Kim's mother was indeed a fool. 'Her husband's infidelity was a fault of his own. How could she blame it on the child?' she thought.

"Wake up from your delusions. Can't you see it? He has never loved you and he never will," Kim said stubbornly. It was apparent in his voice that he already lost his hope on his so-called father.

A swift slapping sound was heard. The silence of the night made the sound particularly harsh.

"If you hadn't been involved in the underworld, your father wouldn't have feared you and would've never left. It's all your fault. I hope you were never born!" The middle-aged woman spat her words to her son like poison. At least to Anne's eyes, those words inflicted great pain to her child. The fact that those words came from the mother who gave birth to him must've been heartbreaking.

"Don't you get it? If I weren't strong, we would have died a long time ago. Besides, you are the only one who dares to hit me in this world," Kim reckoned, his voice low and emotionless.

"I think you are wrong. Don't blame your child for your troubles. If you don't want him, you should've thought about it first before you brought him to this world. The child is a life, not a toy that you can do anything you want to," Anne asserted in a cold voice, trying to educate Kim's mother.

Suddenly, the middle-aged woman shifted her gaze to Anne. Straightaway, Anne noticed the woman's face. From her features, she could tell that she was beautiful.

Stubbornness flared in her teary eyes. Despite how cold she was to her child, Anne believed that she really loved Kim's father.

"Who are you? Who do you think you are?" Kim's mother looked at Anne sharply from head to toes. "You are soon to be a mother. Let me break this to you. That baby will ruin your life. You should get rid of that," she snapped as she pointed her finger to Anne's baby bump. "Get an abortion. Giving birth to a baby is a scourge." Kim's mother's voice was aggressive and her words were brutal. Anne didn't expect her to be so irrational.

Anne felt the anger from the woman's eyes. She felt as though she angered a lion that would pounce on her at any moment. Anne took a step back, feeling a little scared. However, suddenly Kim's mother burst into tears.

"Kim, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I've hurt you." She sobbed as she covered her eyes with her hands, trying to hide her face. She realized what great shame she had just mouthed off. "I'm not a good mother, but I can't help it. I just love your father too much. Why did he do this to me? He told me before that he wanted you to come more than anyone else. Why did he lock me up and took away my freedom, while he is out there fooling around? Why?"

In an instant, the fierce lion turned into a fragile child. She was just standing there, crying her eyes out. Seeing all of this, Anne understood that the woman in front of her had been through emotional abuse. That woman broke down and couldn't think twice about her actions.

Kim looked away and said, "Take her away and take good care of her." His voice was as calm as the wind on the sea that died down quietly.

"I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have said that," Anne apologized, her voice low and regretful.

"What do you know?" Kim said sarcastically as he left. Anne stood there for a while, feeling the chill in the night.

She had always thought that Kim was weird, but now she knew that everyone had a story of their own.

"Miss, are you alright?" A servant came up to help Anne.

Anne calmly asked, "Is this a common sight here?"

"No." The servant shook her head. "It's not like that. Madam will only be emotional occasionally. Obviously, it's normal for her to cry in her situation. However, Mr. Kim feels that she is extremely in pain. He'd rather be indifferent to her. In fact, Mr. Kim is not as bad as what others make him out to be. He's just morose and withdrawn."

Anne could only believe half of the servant's words. What Kim had done was disdainful. No matter what happened, it was no excuse to hurt others and ruin their families.

"I'm exhausted. I'll head inside," Anne sighed, with a weary expression painted on her face.

A City was rapidly changing. For a prosperous city, the rise and fall of companies were old news and not many people would pay much attention to it.

Apart from Kevin's company, the M Group, and Feng Group, although other companies were well-known, they would eventually go under.

The KIA Group, which used to be thriving, was now hollow. The building located in the center of the city was just an empty space. It would soon be auctioned out, and the person with the highest bid would get the right to use it.

At this time, Ryan was sitting in the office. The sofa and the table were cleaned out. He sat on the ground of an empty room with a dull expression on his face.

"Why? Why did he knock me down so easily? Kim, why did you deceive me? I will not let this go. Just wait and see, Kim. If I go down, I'm taking you with me." Ryan had nothing now. He had already lost everything so he was not afraid of anything. He was now like a gambler who had lost all the money and run out of options.

Just like a mad man, he decided to look for Kim himself and end his life. Then he could threaten Kevin with Anne, who was Kevin's weakness. He had his plan laid out and he knew he would win this battle.
