Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 396

In the office, the two tall figures collapsed to the side. They were Peter and Kim.

They did not do anything. But when they saw Anne brush with death, they seemed to have spent all their strength worrying about her safety.

Kim closed his eyes. He might have looked calm, but in his heart, he was afraid. He had stayed in the underworld for years, doing what he was good at: killing and setting things on fire. As a matter of fact, he himself had brushed with death a countless times. Even so, he never felt afraid until now. Seeing at Anne like that, he realized what fear looked like.

Anne was his beloved woman. What was the point of his life if something bad had happened to her?

With his head lowered, he looked at his phone and slowly dialed Anne's number. As he was about to click the dial key, he heaved a sigh and impatiently threw his phone aside.

Peter saw this and his eyes turned cold. "Kim, I'm aware that I can't do anything to stop you. But since you love Anne so much, you should have protected her. You shouldn't have let such a dangerous situation happen!"

Kim still kept his head down and was silent for a while. To be honest, he felt remorseful. He should have called Anne earlier and told her that she should protect herself no matter what!

After seeing such a perilous situation, Kim was scared out of his wits!

He stood up and walked out of the office with a sigh. Seeing this, Peter raised his eyebrows and averted his gaze.

'Anne, I know that you're willing to risk everything when you love someone. Will you regret what you've done once the medicine wears off your system and you find out the truth?

Peter closed his eyes, a sneer at the corners of his mouth. Kim had threatened him, and he was powerless against him. He had no choice but to collude with Kim and follow his every command.

As a miserable person, what right did he have to think about Anne's state?

On the other side, Anne went straight back to the Fu Family after getting rid of everyone.

As soon as Selma saw her, she walked up to her. She grabbed Anne's hand and asked nervously, "How did it go? Did you get hurt? How's your arm?"

As Anne heard Selma's questions, a smile played at the corners of her mouth. She shook her head gently and answered, "Just now, I went to Sam's hospital. He helped me deal with the injury. There are only a few scratches on my arm, but they will be healed in a few days."

At that critical time, Kevin grabbed Anne's arm and prevented her from falling down, thus her arm was the part that carried the most of the load of her weight.

Selma breathed a sigh of relief. All of a sudden, they felt that the atmosphere got cold and heavy. When they looked back, they met Kevin's icy cold gaze.

As soon as he got off the rooftop, Kevin returned to the Fu Family's house quickly, even quicker than Anne.

With a frown, he stepped forward and looked at Anne and Selma. Because of his cold gaze, the two could not help but lower their heads and avert their gazes.

"Mom, you knew it, didn't you?" asked Kevin coldly.

Selma's body trembled because of his question. His cold tone revealed that he was already angry. How much angrier would he be if she told him the truth?

"Kevin, this has nothing to do with Selma. In fact, she doesn't know anything about it. It's my fault. I just decided without thinking that—" Anne chimed in and explained to Kevin by acquitting Selma.

"Anne, how can you think of me as a fool?!" shouted Kevin while staring at her in the eye. After all, he was still fearful after watching Anne fall.

Anne frowned. There was nothing she could do but bite her lips in helplessness.

"Kevin, I know you're worried about Anne. But you should also bear in mind that I'm worried about her as well. For our future and safety, she was right in doing that. Although you're disagreeing right now, I know that your rationality is telling you that what she has done is right." Selma looked back at Kevin and continued slowly, "Only by catching Kim can you four be together safe and sound. Otherwise, you'll have to live in fear of being harassed and worrying that your wife and children will be kidnapped again one day."

Selma's last sentence made Kevin's cold face turn even colder. But in his eyes, there was also a hint of helplessness and frustration.

'Your wife and children will be kidnapped again one day.' That single sentence echoed in his head for a long time.

Kevin stumbled a few steps back and sat on the sofa. It was true. As long as Kim was around, Anne and his children getting abducted would always be a possibility. He was like a snake slithering in the dark.

Whether it was Anne or the children, they were his family. What did it have to do with Kim?

He could not accept defeat. There was no way he could accept it. However...

"It's me who should solve Kim's problems, not Anne. Anne, every time you handle these dangerous things alone, do you know how incompetent I look?" asked Kevin with a deep frown.

Hearing this, Anne stood petrified in the spot. Selma, who was standing beside her, wanted to protest but was stopped by Anne at once.

Right now, Eddy was in the room with Simon and Sally.

"Mom, the three kids are being naughty. I think you'd better go and check them." Anne knew this because when she raised her head, she saw three little figures hiding. That was why she asked Selma to take care of them.

Selma had no choice but to follow Anne's order. After all, there were some things that should not be heard by children.

As she looked at the cold expressions on Kevin's face, Anne could not help but sigh heavily. She sat opposite him and said in a serious tone, "Kevin, I don't know why you think about it that way. I've actually never thought of that from the very beginning. Although I'm still not completely dependent on you, I don't hate you anymore.

I know you're insanely powerful and formidable. It's just that I'm afraid!"
