Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 543

Kevin didn't pay heed to the man's complaint. "How is Anne now?"

Peter yawned and stretched his tired muscles. He squinted his eyes to see the woman and breathed a sigh of relief.

"She's looking out of the window," Peter said crossly, "We haven't gotten off the train yet. What else do you think Anne would do other than sitting in her seat? We still have an hour to reach the station, so please don't waste my time talking over the phone."

He hung up the call, leaving no chance for Kevin to speak.

Peter was tired of following Kevin's commands. The man was freaking out and pressurizing him as well.

Ever since they got on the train, Kevin had been calling him every hour to inquire about Anne.

The man's protectiveness irked Peter. He was a single. Did Kevin specially do this to make him feel envious of their relationship?

He shook his head helplessly and closed his eyes, hoping to get some rest. However, the thumping of footsteps caught his attention. He immediately grew alert and turned around to see who it was.

Peter's gaze settled on a young man, who was staring at him with a sinister smile.

The murderous look on his face revealed that he was a tough guy who had survived death.

Brandon crossed his arms over his chest and continued to glare at Peter.

The boy had somehow managed to find him.

Peter yawned and waved at Brandon. "Wow! What a coincidence. I'm on a business trip to S City. Where are you headed to?"

Brandon snorted and pressed something sharp against Peter's back. The man guessed that it was a knife even without looking at it.

People were barred from carrying a pistol to the train, so Brandon had brought a knife with him.

Peter arched his brows and looked at the boy. "Do you think that you can kill people on a moving train and get away with it?"

Moreover, the knife pressed against him wasn't big enough to kill him. He would probably escape from minor injuries.

"Peter, our boss has warned you not to meddle in our affairs. Have you forgotten that?" Brandon growled menacingly.

"How will I forget your boss's warning? I'm only going on a business trip to S City. I don't think he would have a problem with me doing my job. Meeting you was a pure coincidence. You are the one who is provoking me." Peter shrugged. He wasn't afraid of the boy's threats.

Anne heard the commotion and turned around. Her eyes widened when she saw Peter.

She wondered why he was on the train now.

She narrowed her eyes and saw Brandon threatening Peter with a knife.

Anne sprang to her feet and walked over. Seeing that the boy had pressed a knife against Peter's body, she pulled him aside.

Brandon frowned and was about to push her away. "Did you think that your boss would forgive you if he finds out that you have hurt me? Think about it!"

Brandon revered Kim. Only he had the power to control the young boy.

As expected, Brandon glared at Peter before withdrawing his hand.

"Anne? What a coincidence! What are you doing here? I'm going to S City. What about you?" Peter greeted Anne, ignoring Brandon.

Anne's eyes glinted with excitement. She suppressed her smile that was fighting to escape. Her guess was right: Peter had come for her.

This couldn't have been a coincidence. However, Anne couldn't expose the truth in front of Brandon, so she decided to play along.

"I'm going to S City too. I will be staying there for a while. What about you?" Anne asked innocently.

"It sure is a coincidence then. I, too, will be staying in S City for a couple of weeks." Peter grinned. "I'm glad that I have company. Otherwise, the journey would be incredibly boring. We are old friends. You trust me, right? Why don't we rent a house together?"

Anne nodded happily. Her mind wandered to the love of her life, who was thousands of miles away from her.

She understood that Kevin had informed Peter about what had happened and asked him to follow her. Fortunately, Peter had caught the train on time. Anne knew that Kevin would be worried about her now.

She closed her eyes and silently thanked him for sending someone to save her.

"Well, it's better to live with you than with strangers," replied Anne, casting a disgusted look at Brandon.

The boy's face reddened with rage. He snorted and returned to his seat.

Anne shook her head and smiled at Peter before going back to her seat.

An hour later, the train stopped at S City. Brandon had already arranged a house for Anne to stay. Since Peter was with them, he had no choice but to let him stay with them.

The three walked into an enormous, independent flat. Peter picked one of the rooms and placed his belongings there.

Anne sat in the bedroom and closed her eyes.

She had left her family and come to a city, far away from her home, only to keep the people around her safe. 'Kim, now that I have fulfilled your wish, will you let go of my loved ones?' thought Anne.

Meanwhile, Brandon informed Kim that he had arrived at S City with Anne. The man knew that they were staying at the apartment he had booked for them. An evil smile crept onto Kim's lips.

'Anne, how nice it would be if you continued to obey my every word.'

Since the woman had left A City, Kim felt that it was the right time to execute his plans.

He took his phone and dialed a number.

Kevin was in an animated discussion with Simon and Sally, explaining the reason why Anne had left when he received the call. A frown slipped onto the man's forehead when he saw the unknown number on the screen.

His heart skipped a beat. Kevin ran to the study and closed the door behind him before answering the call.

"It has been a long time. How are you, Kevin?" asked a familiar voice.

Kevin's stomach clenched with anticipation. He knew that the voice belonged to the man who ruined Anne's peace. He would recognize the voice even in his sleep.

"Kim, you have finally found the courage to call me," he growled, clenching his fist.

Kim cackled like a maniac. "Say what you want, Kevin. Call me a coward. But remember that this coward stole your wife. You can't even compete with a coward like me, so what does that make you?"
