Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 524

Eddy was more important to Kevin than anything else in the world. His son was always his priority, so he dismissed his duties to stay with him.

However, they had stayed up for too long and needed rest. They still had to deal with a lot of problems, and it was impossible to do it when their brains were exhausted.

Ella was standing quietly in a corner as no one had bothered to bat an eyelid at her. She bit her lip and turned to look at Selma.

"Grandma, are you sleepy? If you are tired, sleep for a while. I will wake you up later," she said cocking her head to the side. Eddy had made it clear that he didn't blame her. The heavy weight in the little girl's heart was lifted. Her sweet words of comfort warmed Selma's heart.

Selma smiled and shook her head, thinking that Ella was a considerate child.

Anne got out of the car once they arrived home. "I don't care about the designers anymore. They can just leave as they like. I just want to see Eddy." She frowned.

"But what about Simon and Sally?" Kevin asked.

Anne gritted her teeth and sucked in a big breath. Simon and Sally were also her children. She loved them as much as she loved Eddy.

"Well, Mother and I have managed to get some sleep in the past three days. You have been staying up day and night. God, look at your face! You are exhausted. I don't want you to collapse when Eddy recovers." Kevin smiled tenderly. "It's not just Eddy. Simon and Sally would be upset if they find out that you are exhausted."

Anne nodded. Kevin was right, but she wasn't comfortable with the way Kevin made her rest. He just forcefully took her home, against her will.

She sometimes felt that Kevin was overbearing.

Anne snorted and returned to her bedroom. She locked the door and went to sleep.

Kevin stared at the bolted door and shook his head helplessly.

Just then, Simon and Sally ran downstairs. Kevin squatted down and swept the two of them into his arms. "Did you guys miss Dad?" asked he.

Sally grabbed Kevin's arm and shook her head fiercely, looking like a cute puppy. "I missed you so much. I was always thinking about you. Daddy didn't come home for a long time, so I thought that you had forgotten me."

"Really? Did you really miss me so much?" All fathers in the world loved their daughters, and Kevin was no exception. His face lit up with joy when Sally told him that she had missed him.

Simon curled his lips in disdain but didn't tell the truth.

In the past three days, Sally had done nothing but eat, drink, and sleep. She hadn't missed her father one bit. Now, she was lying through her teeth to win Kevin's heart.

"Yes, of course. I am a good girl. I never lie." Sally pouted.

Kevin's heart fluttered with joy. The tiredness on his face vanished in an instant. He hugged Sally tighter and kissed her cheeks.

His little girl was adorable.

Simon frowned and tugged on to Kevin's pants. The man looked at his son, gesturing for him to speak. "Dad, what have you been doing with Mom and Grandma for the past three days? The maids refused to tell us what's going on. Everything seems mysterious."

Eddy's illness had worn them out. They had no choice but to hide the truth from the children.

"Where are Kevin and Ella? Where have they gone?" Sally whined. "Did you take them out to have fun? You left us here because you think we are too young?"

Kevin shook his head fiercely. "Of course not! If I go out to fun places, I always make sure to take Sally with me!"

A smile tugged at the corners of Sally's lips. She nodded, feeling satisfied. However, she was still confused. Where had they gone?

Simon cast a quizzical glance at Kevin -- he was equally confused.

Anne had drifted off to sleep the moment she lay on the bed.

After three days of worrying, she finally seemed to relax after Eddy regained consciousness. Kevin was right -- she was exhausted and needed ample rest.

After playing with the two children, Kevin went to the guest room to sleep. But he couldn't rest in peace that night. After three hours of disturbed sleep, he crept out of the villa and drove away.

Sally and Simon were awake the entire time. They saw their father leaving the house. Sally turned around and looked at Simon. "Don't you think that something is wrong, Simon? Mommy and Daddy are hiding something from us. Mommy went to sleep without seeing us. Daddy stopped us when we tried going to her bedroom, saying that she has fallen asleep."

Anne always made it a point to spend time with her kids and play with them regardless of how tired she was. This was the first time she had gone to bed without seeing them.

Simon nodded in agreement. He, too, felt that something was strange.

"When Dad went to sleep, I tried going to Mom's room. But the maid stopped me. She told me that Mom is tired and has fallen asleep; she asked me not to disturb her," Simon said.

Sally knitted her brows in confusion. The two kids looked at each other. They sensed that something was wrong but couldn't find out what it was.

They felt that their parents had joined with Eddy and Ella to hide something from them.

"It's so unfair! It's so unfair! We are only two years younger than Eddy, but Mommy and Daddy treat him like an adult and us as little kids who know nothing. It's so unfair!" Sally huffed angrily, placing her hands on her waist.

Simon dropped his gaze to the ground without uttering a word.

He didn't like the unfair treatment either.
