Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 501

After returning to the prison, Luke sneaked into Alan's cell with a bottle of wine and meat.

Alan was yawning and staring at the ceiling, feeling bored. He saw Luke standing outside his cell and immediately sat up. A smile stretched across his lips as his gaze flitted to the bag in his hands.

"Dude, I'm here to thank you. Take a bite and let me know if you like it. I'll bring it for you the next time." Luke revered Alan and treated him as his older brother. He tried every possible way to get closer to him.

Alan was a smart guy. He understood what Luke meant. He nodded and took a bite of the drumstick chicken, and began chewing it contentedly. "You are smart, Luke. I guess you got what you wanted last night; am I right? Otherwise, why would you get all these things for me?"

A subtle blush painted Luke's cheeks. He opened the wine and poured a glass of wine for Alan.

The man took a big gulp of wine and snorted in distaste as it tasted bitter. Alan was a wealthy man who had consumed the best wine in the world. He couldn't force the drink down his throat.

However, drinking or eating good food in prison was a dream come true. Therefore, he didn't complain.

Alan put the glass aside and looked at Luke. "That woman is vicious, so be careful. If you do something stupid and get into trouble, even I can't help you."

Luke smiled, his eyes gleamed with determination. He would never get into trouble. If at all something happened, Cherry would have to deal with the consequences, not him.

Luke was a newly appointed police who had just begun his career, but Cherry was a popular star. If people found about their affair, Cherry would receive all the blow.

The woman had worked hard to reach this position. Therefore, she would never allow herself to fail.

Luke knew that she would be cautious, so he had no reason to be afraid of her.

Considering that he had fun with Cherry last night, Luke wasn't ready to let her go easily. She would never be able to escape from him.

Looking at Luke's expression, Alan sneered and shook his head. The arrogant, young man in front of him didn't understand the magnitude of the problem.

But Alan seemed unconcerned. It wasn't his problem, and there was no reason for him to worry about it.

Ella would leave the Fu Family's residence since Colin had returned from the trip. They could accommodate Ella if the man had to go on a business trip again from the future.

Life seemed easy without any problems. However, something seemed to bother Anne.

She had a relatively free day at work. Therefore, she returned home early and watched TV with her children. The kids were quiet and happy when they were with their mother.

She took her phone and checked the time. It was already nine in the evening.

"Eddy, you take care of your little brother and sister. Be a good boy, okay?"

Anne instructed and stood up.

Eddy was still reading with his head down. He nodded in acknowledgment but didn't take her words seriously.

Anne shook her head helplessly. However, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the name of the book. Her son was reading One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Eddy was still a child. How could he read books that were meant for adults?

Anne wanted to ask him if he understood the book. However, she decided against it and walked away. She would be more surprised and confused if Eddy told her that he could understand it.

Sometimes ignorance was bliss. Anne wasn't ready to deal with another shock.

In the study, Kevin was still busy dealing with office work. Although he hadn't signed the contract with Colin yet, the two had decided to collaborate. Therefore, he still had a lot of paper works to arrange and decisions to make.

Hearing the sound of the door, Kevin looked up and saw Anne hesitantly walking towards him.

"Kevin, do you think that Mom has gotten busy lately?" Anne asked, studying Kevin's face.

The man stopped writing; an involuntary frown crept on his forehead. Selma usually liked to stay at home with the children. However, Kevin seldom saw his mother at home in the past few days. She went out early in the morning and came home late at night.

Kevin dealt with all the problems in the company, so he wondered what was keeping his mother busy.

"Yes, I just realized it. Doesn't it seem a little strange?" Kevin shook his head.

"Well, she used to hang out with her wealthy friends, but she usually doesn't meet them so frequently. I wonder why she is coming home late every day." The frown on Kevin's forehead deepened. He wondered what had happened to his mother.

"I saw Mom this morning -- something is wrong. Her face is pale; there are dark circles around her eyes. I think she is worried about something." Anne sighed. Selma usually took meticulous care of her skin and beauty. However, she looked stressed, as if she had encountered a serious problem.

But if Selma was stuck in a problem, why didn't she ask them for help?

Kevin glanced at his watch before looking at Anne. "Well, let us wait for her to come home today."

Selma hadn't uttered a word to them. Both Kevin and Anne knew that she wanted to hide the truth from them. However, regardless of whether Selma liked it or not, it was their responsibility to help her. Families stick together and help each other during times of need.

Anne nodded and followed Kevin downstairs. Sally and Simon had gone to bed while Eddy was still sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, engrossed in the book he was reading.

His lips were pursed into a thin line; his eyes were fixed on the pages as if he were immersed in the world of the book.

"Do you think he understands the book?" Anne asked, knitting her brows in confusion.

The book wasn't a light read. How could her boy understand the heavy themes it conveyed? Even adults found it difficult to read such a book, and it seemed strange for a four-year-old to read it with such profound interest.
