Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 375 I Don't Believe You

Simon understood what Kevin had said. He looked at Anne from head to toe and thoroughly scanned her.

Indeed, the recent peculiarities of Anne were recognized by her son. Simon pondered, 'It turns out that Uncle Kim had drugged Mommy?'

He had no idea what the injection contained, but Kevin's words gave him hope. His mother did love him!

However, what Kevin had said sounded like science-fiction to Anne.

She crossed her arms and looked at him in disdain. She sneered, "The only similarities that Rose and I have in common is the fact that we are able to see through the real you! She behaves abnormally because she has regretted everything that she has done, and she is just doing her best to make up for her mistakes!

I can guarantee you that my attitude had nothing to do with Kim, and neither does an insane injection exist!

I don't like you anymore. If you will settle for a divorce, then I'm coming with you to the lawyer's office. If not, then let me go at ease! Don't tell me you're planning to kidnap me in the middle of an amusement park?"

Kevin felt downcasted. He could do nothing about her. She was under the influence of the drug. So, no matter what he said, she would not listen at all.

In this case, things became tricky now.

Kevin hoisted a sigh of yield. Suddenly, the undercover policemen came to him and one of them whispered, "Mr. Kevin, they managed to escape!"

He nodded to the troops' warning. It was expected for Kim to be extremely evasive. He would never let these men catch him that easily.

The news was alarming, but Kevin did not want to make a fuss about it, especially that Anne and Simon stood in front of him in good condition. For him, this was more than enough!

"Thank you," said Kevin as he expressed his gratitude to the policemen.

The police welcomed his acknowledgment as they nodded their heads, but they were particularly intrigued in the growing tension between Kevin and Anne. To their curiosity, an agent asked, "Mrs. Anne, Mr. Kevin finally found you. Why aren't you delighted?

Did Mr. Kevin make you wait for far too long? Honestly, that had nothing to do with his determination. Kim is just too cunning to hide any lead that we can get to find you. Mr. Kevin have gone days without rest, yet he held on with his perseverance. He is not the one to blame here, Mrs. Anne."

She turned to the policeman and raised a brow. She said, "Your job is to uphold justice, am I right? Why are you here? Can't you see that I am eager to divorce Kevin? I don't love him anymore! Why did you even help him find me? You expect me to thank you for making things more complicated? Are you out of your mind?"

The troops turned to look at each other as Anne's reply was a shock to their ears. They shifted their attention to Kevin who seemed on tenterhooks. What was going on here?

"Thank you for your service everyone. I will remember what you did to help me for the rest of my life. I will take Anne back home for now. I'll come and see you in a few days!" said Kevin. Instead of being mad, he chose to indebt and bid them farewell with a smile.

The confusion crept on everyone, but their job was done. All they could ever do now was nod and leave as their skepticism left them with more questions rather than answers. What was going on

between the two?

Didn't Kevin say that Kim kidnapped Anne? Why was Anne blaming them now?

Kevin sighed as the police left. He said, "Well, I know that you don't want to see me, but how about Eddy and Sally? You know, they miss their mother so much."

'Eddy and Sally?' she uttered their names once more in her mind. That was right, she was a mother to two more children! She placed her hand on top of her heart and felt her racing heartbeat. This kind of pounding meant that she was looking forward to something, but the feeling made her sick. Kevin only used her to bear those children for him!

Plus, it was impossible for Kevin to give up custody over them once the divorce was finalized!

"If they miss me so much, then will you give them to me after we split?" asked Anne as she sneered a grin.

Kim loved Anne and all that belonged to her. Her children would be treated like royalty if they fell under her custody, but Kevin would not abandon his children just like that!

Back then, Kevin hated her so much, but he still made love to her in order to give birth to the heirs of his family.

Once she saw his reaction, there was no need to say anything anymore. It was certain that Kevin and Selma would not allow her to see her children ever again!

She said,

"Your silence gave away the answer. What's the point of loving them when you have made it clear that I won't see them after the divorce? My love for them would just recoil as heartache in the end. Why would I bother seeing them, Kevin?"

He frowned as he kneaded his forehead in dismay, but he knew that this was not the time to engage in conflict with Anne. He picked up Simon and gently wiped the corners of his watery eyes. He said, "Come on. Let's go!"

Anne looked around once more and, to her disappointment, Kim did not show up at all!

'Where on earth did he go? Why isn't he making an appearance? Did he just abandon me? I can't believe it, Kim. You don't want me either?'

she pondered. At the hoist of her sigh, she suddenly recalled what Kim had said to her.

He said, "If anything happens, open the note inside your bag. There is something I want to tell you."

Yes, he told her this the morning she arrived at the amusement park. For a moment there, she forgot, but his words were clear in her memory.

She smirked subtly and immediately reached out inside her bag. She took out a piece of paper and read the letter. Just like Kim, this message was full of style!

"Anne, you are the love of my life and that will never change!"

These few words in this tiny piece of paper were enough to give Anne some reassurance. Although Kim had disappeared, it must have happened for a reason!

She loved Kim, and he loved her. Two enamored lovers should not be bothered by a man like Kevin. She must divorce Kevin because only in this way could she be with Kim without constraint!

Anne took a deep breath as she tucked the note back in her bag. Seeing Kevin look sullen, she raised her eyebrow triumphantly as she got into the backseat of the car.

Kevin was impotent when he looked down at Simon. He handed the little boy to his mother and drove them back to A City.

In the meantime, Kevin had to agree with everything that Anne mouthed. No matter what happened, he had to bring her back home first!

While driving, Kevin peeked at the rear-view mirror just to see Anne's bland, expressionless face. The situation could not be helped. He had nothing else to say. So, he dialed someone on his phone.

The call quickly connected as Sam's weary voice came out of the speaker.

"Kevin, what happened? Did you find Anne?" Sam fired up his questions, but he suddenly stopped upon realizing how her name felt taboo.

Kevin felt an inkling more of sorrow as his heart tendered more. Recently, there had been countless overwhelming things that made everyone feel more ill at ease.

"Don't worry, I found her. She is with me now, but how is Rose?" he asked as he knew that Rose was in Sam's hospital.

When Sam heard the mention of Rose, he shifted to a more serious tone and said, "She has recovered quite well. She had a small dose of the drug, and it wasn't able to infect her system at a maximum."

The report turned Kevin's face a shade paler upon the drug's mention. Rose only received a small amount, yet the abnormalities took effect for such a long time.

If Kim suddenly exposed his whereabouts and allowed him to take Anne away, then he must have injected a huge dose in her for him to be this assured. When could Anne go back to normal?

'Damn it! How could Kim use such a despicable trick?

Is this what he called love?' he pondered.

Kevin's remorse turned into anger, and his face gushed a little cold, but he was able to compose himself and stay calm. He asked, "Can you relieve the drug's influence?"

Sam sigh as the answer to his question was disappointing. He said, "This drug was the work of a mad scientist! Its effects were against humanity's morals, and this was instantly banned as soon as it was developed.

If we pursue an antidote, then it is uncertain how long it will take. We're in the dark with the composition and elements of this medicine!

To make matters worse, the scientist who invented this just died a few days ago."

Kevin ended the call that fueled his hopelessness. He gazed at Anne once more and squinted his eyes. 'This is all your doing, Kim!' he thought.

"You have done everything to frame Kim for a crime he did not commit. Now, you're colluding Sam into this mess just because I don’t believe you? Kevin, do you have any other tricks?" said Anne in a disdainful voice.

Kevin answered her with utter silence. Indeed, he had nothing to say to Anne's muttering.

He went over the phone with Selma to tip her with what happened. He told her to let Anne avoid seeing the children. The request was strange, and it kept Selma silent for a moment.

In the past few days, Sally had lost weight. She had been searching for her mother, and even though Eddy made no comments, his face was calmer in his anticipation for his mother's return. Poor boy, everyone felt sorry for him.

It was not a walk in the park to find Anne. Kevin had imagined that once he reunited their family, they would easily go back to the good ol' fun-loving days, but he miscalculated the power of the drug and its toll on Anne.

Selma always thought that Rose's series of attitude changes were terrible, but hearing Anne's condition, she thought that it was far more devastating.

Everything that Anne felt capsized in a flick of a switch!

She had always regarded her children more than anything else in the world. Flip that around, and you could only imagine how much she would hate Eddy and Sally now.

Children were far more sensitive than adults, and it was certain that Anne's altered emotions would make them depressed.

"Mom, Sally is too young to understand, but inform Eddy of the situation for me," said Kevin as he sighed.

"I will!" replied Selma. Eddy had a heart condition. So, they must be careful about telling him the truth.

On the backseat, Anne was an ear in the wall as she frowned and caressed her chest.

The conversation between Kevin and Selma threw her sentiments in a rolling barrel. The injection might have changed her, but it did not erase her sweet memories.

There were some things that Anne would never forget.

During the days when they all lived together, happiness rocketed to the endless skies. But now, whenever she thought about it, confusion thrived because her memory seemed to be the kind of life that she wanted.

"I know you won't believe a word I say, but please think about what happened thoroughly. Is it even possible for you just change your sentiments just like that? Are you sure Kim didn't do something to you? asked Kevin as he appealed to her.

She looked at his silhouette, shook her head, and slowly closed her eyes.

'This guy is so cruel. Shame on him! He had been putting the blame on Kim all this time. I will not be deceived by his evil schemes!' she pondered. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Although her thought seemed to be convinced, she still felt oddly confused. It was as if something was wrong, but she did not know what it was.

Anyway, why didn’t Kim take her and Simon when he fled? No matter how puzzled she was, she knew that he had left them on purpose. He guided Kevin to find them, but why did he do that?
