Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 34

As Emily entered the room full-handed, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion and asked, "Yes, I have a phone with me. What do you want to do?"

"Give me your phone." Anne closed the door and reached out to Emily. "I want to call Ryan," she said in a serious tone.

"No," Emily refused decisively, "The last time that you went to see him, Mr. Kevin got very angry. You can't call him now."

Emily had no idea what Anne was thinking. She frowned and continued, "Besides, he just set you free. You really can't call him this time."

Anne puckered her eyebrows and looked at Emily. "Emily, I really have something urgent to deal with. Don't worry, I won't see him this time, okay?" she insisted.

Emily bit her lip. She didn't know whether she should allow Anne to have the phone or not.

She had heard from Kevin that Anne was already free and she was happy for her boss. However, she didn't expect that Anne would contact Ryan again. If Kevin knew that they were in touch, Anne would surely be in trouble again.

No, no! She shook her head and replied firmly, "No, I can't give you my phone." Emily stopped for a second and sighed. "I brought breakfast for you, have some," she said, trying to avert the argument. Anne shook her head. How could she even have the mood to eat now?

"I'll just go shopping with you. What do you think?" Emily said trying to enliven Anne. She raised her head to Emily and said,

"Emily, don't you even want to help me? Even for such a small favor?"

Anne's look was very irresistible. Emily was left with no choice but to give Anne what she wanted. She sighed and handed her phone to Anne.

"Here you go, but you can only call him for a minute. You can't talk for too long or even meet him."

"Don't worry," Anne said and grasped the phone. She immediately dialed the number she remembered.

It was a vivid day for Ryan. He was having coffee in the courtyard, bathed in the sunlight. Everything around was tranquil.

The mellow taste of the coffee lingered between his lips. He took a sip of coffee calmly.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang. He put down the coffee and checked his phone.

It was an unknown number. Ryan leaned over and finally answered it.

"Hello?"

"It's me. Where are you now?"

It was Anne's voice. Ryan stood up quickly and said avidly, "Anne, where are you now? How have you been? I heard that you were locked up by Kevin, is that true?"

"Yes, but I'm fine now. I'm calling to tell you that you have to wait for me for a while. I'm afraid I can't contact you for some time,"

Anne said as she held the phone tightly.

Ryan felt relieved after hearing from Anne. "Okay, I understand. Be careful and take good care of yourself," he said calmly.

"Okay, bye."

Anne hung up the phone and returned it to Emily. Emily felt guilty when she saw Anne hang up the phone quickly.

"I'm sorry, Anne. I shouldn't have restricted you on that call," she said sincerely.

Emily didn't know how to face Anne.

"It doesn't matter." Anne sat down at the table. Kevin must have ordered this breakfast. It was some porridge, a plain one to be exact.

She ate some and drank the milk beside it. She was in a quite good mood these days, so she could still eat.

"Come with me, let's shop together," said Anne.

Emily nodded in agreement. Since she had been "imprisoned" for so long, Anne had long wanted to go out for a walk.

She felt way better than before as they walked on a long street.

Following behind, Emily noticed her smiling and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Anne, do you have anything to buy?"

Before they came out, Kevin had told Emily to take care of Anne, and to buy whatever she wanted. For everything that Anne liked, Emily would just ask the clerk to pack them all.

She wondered why Kevin suddenly changed after merely a night. He didn't treat Anne like this before. It really seemed so unusual of him.

Anne turned her head side to side, gazing at the shops on both sides of the street.

It was just an ordinary day, but the place was still crowded with a lot of people. She looked up at the intertwined leaves and the long asphalt road.

Anne chose to walk instead of entering those crowded places.

She always liked to have some peace and quietness. Even if she went outside, she always preferred a place surrounded by tranquility.

"No, thanks,"

Anne shook her head and continued to walk. Emily just followed her silently.

It was indeed a nice day. And every place Anne walked by was lively.
