Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 300

The window was open, letting in the chilly air of the beautiful night. Inside the house was cozy and comfortable.

"Sir, the meals you ordered will be delivered in five minutes." The waiter handed the receipt to Kevin.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Kevin?" No sooner did the waiter leave than he heard a gentle feminine voice addressing him from somewhere, probably outside, making him frown.

Without getting any response from Kevin, Kate Chen walked in without waiting any longer and the moment she saw him, she was astonished.

She studied him. The man's tall stature made him look very sharp and no doubt his handsome figure was even more enhanced by the well-fitted black suit and black collar. Kate Chen was immediately captivated by him.

"Mr. Kevin," she called again.

Kate Chen had known that she would be meeting Kevin so it wasn't difficult for her to recognize him.

It was a known fact that in the entire A City, Kevin was the most attractive man. But it was unusual to see him on a blind date advertisement.

"Yes?" Kevin turned around to the source of the voice before taking a seat at the table.

"My name is Kate Chen. I am the daughter of the chairman of Chen Group," she introduced herself with a polite smile. She stretched out her hand hoping for a handshake, but he crushed that hope by being unresponsive.

"Let's eat," he suggested calmly, almost indifferently.

Kate Chen's mood soured. It seemed that the CEO of AN Group was incompetent when it came to communicating with people. Now she understood the reason behind Kevin's desire to go on a blind date.

However, before in the city everyone was aware of his immense love and affection for his wife but, unfortunately, she had disappeared.

"Mr. Kevin, are you happy with me? With this date?" She lowered her gaze as she inquired with a shy smile.

Kevin remained silent. Instead, he tapped on the table thrice. Soon a child zoomed in and yelled, "I don't approve".

Kate Chen choked on the juice that she had been drinking, startled by Eddy's sudden arrival.

"Where did this wild child come from? Get out of here quickly," she said in a miffed tone.

Being called a "wild child" did not sit well with Eddy. It made him furious, but when he noticed Kevin's disappointed look, he immediately directed his anger at him.

"How dare you go on a blind date behind my and my mother's back? Are you even worthy of her?" He forced out a few tears after he said those words, as if he was the one being wronged and bullied.

"Your mother? Are you Mr. Kevin's son?" Kate Chen asked curiously.

She only knew that Kevin was an outstanding man, but she had no knowledge about his life.

"And you are?" Although Eddy was young, he was good at jab and retort.

"I..." she trailed off, seemingly at a loss of words. This was completely unforeseen. It seemed impossible for her to deal with the kid or get along with him.

"Is your mother Anne?" she inquired with hostility laced in her tone.

"Who are you talking about? Dad, who is the woman she is talking about? Didn't you promise that you would marry my mother after you divorced your ex-wife? Why didn't you keep your promise?" implored Eddy.

Kevin remained impassive.

However, he was just trying to control his emotions. He felt an oncoming headache as he looked at Eddy who was focused on his performance. Kevin guessed that the kid must have considered himself as a lonely and miserable child whose mother was abandoned by his father.

His gaze then traveled towards Kate Chen, whose face had already darkened with anger.

"Mr. Kevin, I wasn't aware that you have a child. I'll leave now." Without another word, the lady stormed out of the place.

Back in the private room, the tense atmosphere dissipated as soon as Kate Chen left.

Eddy's pitiful expression immediately transformed into a proud one. "Dad, how was my performance?"

The child's hopeful expression of earning praise made Kevin smile. He picked the child up and said gently, "Our job is done here. Let's go home".

But Eddy scowled, "Dad, Uncle Sam has been waiting for you. He is very persistent."

"Let him wait. When he came around, he won't be begging for my forgiveness in this manner. I have never blamed him," he replied thoughtfully, ruffling Eddy's hair.

For the past two years, Sam had been asking for Kevin's forgiveness, because he was responsible for Anne's disappearance.

Sam repeatedly regretted his decision of not sending Anne home at that time. He should have insisted a little more. But Kevin wasn't naive, he knew that even if Anne managed to get away that time, Kim would find other opportunities. It was his fault for not guessing the fact that Kim wasn't after his company but after Anne.

He had been searching for Anne for the past two years. However, he always collided into a dead end. By now, everyone believed that she was dead, but Kevin did not. He believed that she must be alive somewhere safe.

Eddy had fallen asleep before they reached home.

The East Mountain Villa used to be filled with warmth and love but now, with Anne gone, Kevin felt that it was a mere place that sheltered them.
