Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 510

For Sally and Simon, it would not matter whether they went to school or not. They wouldn't face any hardship. As for Ella and Eddy, they had to go to school and someone was bound to tell what they had heard about Ella's dad. Anne would not be able to hide the truth from Eddy.

Lowering her head, Anne thought to herself, 'Eddy is still so young and not the same height as my waist yet, but he has to bear and be exposed to so much at such a young age.'

Guilt was written across Anne's face. She squatted down to get to eye level with Eddy.

"Eddy, I don't want to hide the truth from you. Do you still remember Kim?"

'Kim?' Eddy tried to recall.

Eddy immediately nodded his head. This person was the reason he lost his mother's love for two years and caused his family to break apart, over and over again. He would never forget this person. Had it not been for Kim, Bob wouldn't have died so young, and his family wouldn't be in the state they were in.

They had suffered a lot at the hands of Kim. Eddy would never forget the likes of this man.

'But...' Something had occurred to Eddy.

"Isn't Kim dead?" asked Eddy. He was quite surprised. Kim had once had a lot of power yet his life was turned upside down when he was caught for his crimes. He was sentenced to death. Kevin went to see the execution himself. When he returned, he even celebrated with a drink.

Eddy recalled of this very clearly in his mind's eye.

What he didn't understand, was why his mother would need to mention someone who was dead. Not only that, but her face was pale and reflected a feeling of angst.

"No, he isn't." Shaking her head, Anne told Eddy what they had uncovered. "We all thought that he was dead but it turns out he isn't. The shooting that happened yesterday, he orchestrated that. Since your dad had already made his way to another city and met some trouble there, he couldn't come back."

"How can he possibly be alive?" Eddy could not believe it. He continued, "I remember Kim's case was in the news all over the country. Dad said that Kim would not be able to escape death. How is it possible that he wasn't put to death?"

Anne could only answer this question with an embittered smile. Kim's case was in the public spotlight. No one dared to offer him any help - yet somehow, he had pulled off the impossible and escaped.

Under the watchful eye of the entire nation, he slipped away in plain sight, like a malting golden cicada. Thus, he was secretly alive!

If Anne had not seen Kim with her own eyes, she would never have believed it either!

"I did not want to believe it and I still don't want to believe it. But the facts prove it so I have to accept that it is true!" With a forlorn sign, Anne continued, "It's not only you who is in disbelief. Up to now even, I cannot understand. Under such close monitoring, it would be impossible for Kim to slip through the cracks. But he is alive. Can we refute this fact any longer?"

Basically, they had no choice but to accept and deal with the fact that Kim was alive.

Albeit young, Eddy was beyond his years in maturity. He could accept things more easily than the average child. He nodded in understanding immediately.

"Kim is a psychopath. He can do absolutely anything with no conscience. Your father and I did everything in our power to destroy his business and bring him down, so who knows what he will do in vengeance," said Anne, worry written across her face. "I don't know what insanity he will resort to in dealing with us now that he is out in the open, so we have to be safe and stay put at home."

Although Kim was powerful and daring, she did not think he would attack in their own home.
