Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 369

Kim burst into a hysterical laugh out of the blue. He took his time and paused before looking at Anne as if to provoke her. She gently closed her eyes and gave a gloomy, grieving expression.

Her own Simon was forced to call another man father!

What transpired next was as terrible as she expected. Kim's goons managed to fend off Kevin and his men away, while he forcefully took Anne with him.

Meanwhile, Kevin and his men had a rather lengthy dispute against Kim's minions. Both sides crashed several cars until Kevin's men got to capture what was assumed to be Kim's car.

When they opened the car, they were surprised to find that the people they were chasing all this time were duplicates that acted as decoys.

Kevin himself took two steps back in utter shock. He could feel his whole body about to collapse into the ground as if he was standing half-naked in the middle of a blizzard.

'I was fooled! How could I fall for that?!

Damn it, Kim. He's playing tricks on me. This isn't the first time. My Anne!' he thought out loud to himself.

"No!" He was shaking in pure anger as he couldn't bear to accept the result of his efforts. His roar was packed with his fury. Moments later, he turned around and left with the key tightly grasped in his hand.

The people behind him were still left wondering in silence.

The road was empty enough for him to build up speed with his driving. The anxiety he felt cranked up like the car approaching its limits. He knew for a fact that he was too late, but he wanted to go and take a look for himself!

'Anne, where are you now?' he kept thinking.

Meanwhile, Anne held Simon tightly inside Kim's car. She gave her kidnapper a look, sharp enough to cut him into pieces.

His smile indicated that he was in a good mood. She slowly turned her head and looked out of the window. There was nothing else she could do but frown in utter dread. "This is not the way to H City," she said.

Kim gave her a brief smirk, and replied, "I've been staying in H City long enough. Although Kevin doesn't know where to find me right now, it's only a matter of time until he gets a lead. So there's no reason for me stay in H City anymore."

The cold finally completely took over her whole being, and the grief she felt didn't help but cause her frown to be deeper than before.

"Don't worry. M City isn't too far from A City," he added.

Knowing that everything have been planned and carried out from the beginning, she couldn't think of anything to change the circumstances to her favor. The only thing she could do now was to opt out of continuing to talk to him.

He glanced over at Anne through the rear view mirror, and painted another smug look on his face.

Indeed, all his effort paid off in the end now that he had Anne's life on his hands again. His heart was filled with such great joy in ways he couldn't have imagined.

He thought to himself that the woman he loved and adored for most of his life finally came back to him to keep him company through day and night!

Beside the fact that he was aware of Anne having only Kevin in her heart right now, he was willing to wait and make her fall in love with him.

He wasn't planning to make Anne change her heart overnight. As long as that was the case, there was no way he would let go of her. At the same time, he was aware that it would be an eternity of waiting for a forlorn hope.

Anne looked down and quietly looked at Simon like how a caring mother would. Simon, on the other hand, was already looking at her, desperate for help. She gave him a gentle smile for comfort and kissed him on the forehead.

"Simon, you'll be fine. I'm right here with you."

His determined nod as a response was genuine. Shortly after, he moved his little fragile body further into the comfort of her arms. It was the thing he wanted the most for a long time now—to be back into her warm embrace. Now that it came true, he couldn't help but also feel bad that he was well aware how hard it must have been for his mother to come back to him.

They drove for a few more hours until they finally arrived at M City. The prepared house only showed how powerful Kim actually was.

Simon still held on to his mother's arms. They all went upstairs without taking a good look to appreciate Kim's place.

She felt as if she was a precious golden bird, trapped in a cage, and stripped of any form of freedom. It didn't matter to her how carefully and beautifully the cage was designed.

Besides, the most important thing that mattered to her now was to figure out how to protect her child, now that he just returned to his mother. Simon was still sulking over how terrible their life would be from now on, until he closed his eyes and sunk into a deep slumber.

Meanwhile, Anne sat on the edge of the bed and ran her fingers through her son’s face. She slowly smiled as she appreciated how precious her son was. This moment, for her, was bittersweet.

She didn't even have the time or the presence of mind to realize the tears that had been streaming down her face all this time.

It might be good that she found one child, but it was even more tragic considering it happened at the cost of losing the other two!

The sadness welled over her that she felt like she was cursed to feel this way for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile, Kevin contacted the police immediately after he failed to find Anne using his own resources. Knowing his status, the respective police departments of both A and H City immediately mobilized forces to search and investigate the whole area.

No matter how much he wanted to hide Anne's disappearance, he just couldn't. Not this time. Selma, Eddy, and Sally all knew about it.

Kim took Anne away again!

Since Sally had always been the most sensitive one among them, she couldn't help but cry out loud the moment she heard that her mother was missing.

Eddy, on the other hand, was well aware how his grandma and father must have felt. He realized that he had to step up and take care of Sally on his own. However, the crying of his little sister also greatly affected him.

"Back then, Anne was controlled by Kim for two years, but we just had no way of finding any trace of them. How can we be certain that he's really in H City this time?" Selma couldn't help but give her own temples a mild massage, as her worries stressed her out to the point that she felt it almost converted into physical pain.

Kevin stayed silent, he kept all his thoughts to himself. His cold, sunken eyes gave chilling vibe to anyone who would dare stare into them.

The H City Police Department searched the whole premises of their area, but they found nothing.
