Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 554

Kevin attended to making an appointment with his friends to talk business, after breakfast. Anne was going to take the child for a walk about the general area to get some fresh air. Before she had made this trip, she had known that the place was known for its exquisite natural beauty. The hotel service was fantastic and attended to arranging a driver to accompany her on her walk.

Emily described the facts and history about the beautiful area. Her voice was melodic and easy on the ear. She spoke in such a pleasant tone. The walk through the beautiful place did wonders for them. Anne felt relaxed.

When they had arrived at the first designated picnic spot, Anne could feel the hot, humid atmosphere on full blast. This was truly weather only fitting of a tropical season. The hotel was air-conditioned so Anne hadn't felt the true heat of the place until now. Emily, however, was fully prepared.

Equipped with a lovely sunhat, she pushed the stroller and did her best to walk in whatever shade was available on the lane. They were not too far from the sea. In the distance, she could make out the beautiful beach coconut palms, and general scenery so characteristic of the southern parts of the country. The baby was quite well-behaved, but it had been a long time since he had a chance to stretch his little limbs. So, he lifted his arms and legs, kicking and punching the air. His eyes watched his arms and legs intently, but he also glanced at his mother fondly, from time to time.

He was still so new to the world and everything he saw aroused his curiosity. He struggled but managed to free himself from the stroller. He went to grab his mom's hand and totter on the leaves under his small, unsteady feet. He became very excited by this new experience.

Both mom and son were dressed casually in white sports tights and three-quarter sleeved T-shirts. Kevin also had a similar set of clothes, but since he wasn't with them now, no one noticed that the three were in fact coordinated.

Holding the tiny tot by the hand, Anne walked a little ahead of Emily, who pushed the baby stroller and followed them. When she saw Ted looking at her curiously, she winked playfully at him. She couldn't help smiling.

"Anne, this tot is so cute!"

"You can also have one," Anne responded.

"It's not that easy," said Emily. She seemed to think of something, and the smile slowly slipped off her face.

As they proceeded on their walk, they heard some commotion coming from nearby. Her motherly instincts kicked in and Anne picked up her baby quickly. She noticed that someone had fainted a few feet away. A young man was busy next to the person as if he was attending to treating the person's condition.

Just as Anne was about to turn away from the scene and walk away, she noticed Emily looking a bit glassed over. Her eyes were unfocused and she unconsciously followed the busy young man's movements.

"Emily, what are you looking at?" asked Anne.

"What? Nothing." Emily snapped out of it, coming back to her senses. Her answer was abrupt and her eyes wandered as if just rudely awakened.

"Oh, then let's go. There is nothing else interesting to see here," Anne responded.

"Wait a minute. Let's just stay a bit longer. There is a beautiful statue; it's not too far away and I hear it's quite an interesting visit. Let's go have a see," Emily reported quickly.

Just as Anne was about to disagree with Emily, she noticed that the young man had attended successfully to the person who had fainted, and the crowd had completely dispersed now. He was walking towards them.

As he approached them, he came into better focus. The young man was quite a towering figure, probably 182cm in height. He was strikingly handsome and had a grace about him. There was a hint of a smile in his hazel eyes. His general appearance and aura made people feel at ease.

After looking at the man for a little while, Anne turned to look at Emily for her reaction. Emily looked stunned. Anne thought the two of them would look quite good together and sensed something between them.

"Hello, Miss," the young man greeted.

"A pleasure to meet you," replied Anne cordially.

The young man hesitated and then said, "I am a friend of Miss Emily. Do you mind if I steal her for a minute for a quick word?"

Emily didn't deny their friendship, and considering that Kevin was on his way to them now, Anne placed the baby gently in the stroller and obligingly walked a short distance away to give them some space.

She and the baby had been walking in the direction of the statue Emily had mentioned, and by the time they reached it, Kevin had also arrived. The trio was wearing matching outfits. As they walked down the lane, people admired the cute scene. Even passersby couldn't help but notice how sweet it looked.

The statues adorned the area around the fountain, but they were all varying sizes and placed in an erratic pattern. Anne was very taken by the artistry, and even Ted admired the site.

Since his wife and son were so happy, Kevin happily took pictures of them in the bright sunlight.

Kevin looked at Anne through the camera. She was smilingly from ear to ear, holding the bouncing baby in her arms.

It was indeed a beautiful sight to behold. Such was her happiness that her eyes seemed to shine with a happy luster. Ted was also very happy spending time like this. He narrowed his eyes in the bright light. His parents were his entire world. He hoped this moment could just go on endlessly.

Kevin's friend had invited them for lunch at midday. They went straight to the hotel after that, took a quick shower and changed their clothing. They had such a long morning so they decided to leave Ted at the hotel to rest. Then they drove to their friend's place.

Before they left, Anne learnt from Kevin that the friend they were visiting was named Sam, the son of the Feng Family. He was quite a well-renowned doctor and owned a private hospital. His family was very well off, to say the least. The Fu Family and Feng Family had a lot of connections, and some were even relatives.

When Kevin and Sam were kids, they had spent many hours happily playing with each other. But now they seldom met each other as they were both often consumed by work.

The place the luncheon was to be held was a gorgeous seaside villa. When Anne saw Sam standing at the door, she took in a surprised breath. What a twist of fate, the man she had seen this morning at the park was none other than Sam. She really had not anticipated such a coincidence!

After Kevin introduced the two of them, they both looked at each other in surprise.

"Oh? You two are already acquainted?" Lowering his head, and pulling his sleeves down to straighten his cuffs, Kevin asked Anne quietly.
