Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 371

The police had always been powerful, and it didn't take them long enough to deliver some news. Kevin felt anxious when he heard it, and went to M City with his people immediately.

Now that Anne was captured again, he became just as anxious and panicked as before. He couldn't wait to see her again—he was desperate.

Meanwhile, Anne was tightly holding Simon in her arms. She paused and adored the smile on his face before kissing him on the forehead. She then pointed at the clock beside her, and said, "Honey, it's getting late. You should go to bed now."

He looked back at her as he pondered for a moment, and genuinely asked, "Would I grow up fast if I went to bed early?"

His question somehow inflicted a faint sting in her heart, but she nodded in agreement. Simon happily closed his eyes and went to sleep.

She, however, was still wide awake with her eyes locked onto her son's cute little face. She slowly stood up, and walked over to the window. She stood there as usual, staring at the stunning view of colorful lights from below.

'Kevin, have you found where we are?' she thought.

There was nothing but silence and the faint howl of the wind that answered her question. She couldn't help but smile at how much of a terrible, terrible joke her current condition was.

At this point, the door was suddenly pushed open with force. She trembled in fear as soon as she heard it, and turned around with haste.

The loud slam of the door woke Simon up from his deep sleep. He opened his eyes and scanned the room in utter confusion.

Kim stood at the door while his face was dark with a frown, directly staring at Anne. She bravely stepped forward to try and protect her son from danger.

What did he want this time?

"It's late. What are you doing here? Why don't you go to bed on your own?" She broke the long, deafening silence.

Kim simply took another step forward. She couldn't help but take a step back away from him out of fear and surprise. It repeated a few more times, until she realized that she had reached the window. She shouted, "Kim, don't go any further!"

He smiled at her words. He stretched out his hand, and slowly raised her chin with his finger. Anne wanted to slap his hand away from her face, but she was swallowed by fear that she was frozen in place. All she could do was hold on tight to shield Simon from anything that might endanger him.

She didn't dare to make any wrong, dumb move that would probably get Simon hurt.

"I’m so happy I get to see you like this," he said all of a sudden.

Her eyes were wide open in confusion. What did he mean by that?

Meanwhile, Kevin drove to M City as fast as he could. As he approached the place with extreme speed, his heartbeat followed through.

Could he finally see Anne after such a long time?

'Anne, don't be afraid. I'll come to save you as soon as I can. Please, hang on!’

"Mr. Kevin, we've located the house!" a policeman intently notified him.

Kevin heavily nodded in agreement, and continued to say a few words. He certainly wasn't in the mood to care about others. All that was in his mind was to finally see Anne!

The police did not waste any time, and followed him closely from behind.

"Kim is a dangerous person. We should expect him to be armed. Get the SWAT team ready, and send them in first!" the police captain ordered.

Kevin nodded as if to recognize the policeman's efficiency at his job. He didn't forget to remind everyone, "No matter what, please protect Anne and Simon from danger!"

The policeman confirmed his plea. He went ahead to offer his assurances, "Mr. Kevin, don't worry. The hostages' safety is our priority."

Kevin nodded, and watched the policeman leave to continue to do his job. He closed his eyes, and thought to himself, 'Anne, are you seeing this? I'm right downstairs.'

The SWAT Team swiftly moved with their gears ready to blast open the house. Outside, the police siren sounded. Kevin noticed something was wrong, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes in suspicion.

He knew that Kim was a cunning and vicious man. He would try all the tricks up his sleeve to escape from the cops, instead of simply embracing his defeat. Now that the SWAT Team finally rushed over to the premises, he imagined Kim to be in such a panic.

What happened?

He frowned. Eventually, the police also realized that something was not right. All of them were surprised right after they blasted their way into the house.

Not a single soul was present in a luxuriously decorated room.

Meanwhile, Kevin went upstairs in a hurry. He scanned all over the empty rooms and found no one. He felt his legs get weak, and he slowly sat on the sofa, looking defeated.

No wonder it was so quiet. They had already left before Kevin and the police even arrived!

"Kim must have seen this coming from the beginning. But we kept this operation a secret. Nobody knew about this. How did he manage to get the news?" The policemen looked at each other in confusion.

Kevin sneered. Kim had been in the underworld long enough to know his way out of this type of situation. It only proved how hard it was to catch someone like him.

He was really slippery and cunning like a fox!

This place was nothing but one of his decoys. He might have some similar places he owned in other cities as well.

All of them who were present in that operation were left wondering where the hell he was. After all that effort, they were back to square one. Where did he bring Anne?

Kevin couldn't help but look down in disappointment.

"Mr. Kevin, don't worry. We might have some hope if we check the surveillance footage immediately." The policeman sympathized with him as his efforts were all turned out to be in vain.

Meanwhile, Anne was sitting in the car with Simon.

Shortly after Kim rushed into the room, he quickly grabbed both of them and dragged them into the car. Anne noticed that he was in a hurry, so she assumed that Kevin must found some clues about their location.

But not so fast. He barely missed them as Kim managed to be one step ahead in the game.

The disappointment she felt was directly reflected by the frown on her face.
