Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 294

As expected by Ryan, the island villa was deserted. At the sight of this, a bloodthirsty smile formed on his lips. He was planning to take action later at night.

"Why are there so few people here?" asked Ryan casually.

"It's quiet here because our boss doesn't like to have too many people around," replied the man.

"I see. Anyway, I want to see Kim," requested Ryan.

For a second, the man's expression changed but it returned to normal as soon as it showed. "Our boss has something important to do. He hasn't come back yet," the man answered after a moment.

"When will he come back? I have something very important to discuss with him." Ryan tried his best to suppress his emotions, but the man in front of him was not convinced.

"Probably at twelve o'clock in the midnight," answered the man.

Ryan smiled at his words. Like the soft breeze at night, he said in a very low voice, "I see."

"Excuse me, but I have to go first. Mr. Kin doesn't like it when others loiter around here."

"Sure. Go ahead."

As the night fell, the scorching sun was replaced by the mystique moon. One of Anne's most favorite pastimes was cooling herself in the breeze in the open air.

She had not seen Kim for days since the last time she saw him with his mother.

At this time, she was learning about the place. Stroking her round belly, she thought that she must leave before the baby was born.

"Miss, these are the fruits you requested," said the servant as she offered her a fruit plate.

"Please put it on the table. May I ask, have you ever left this place since you came here?" Anne asked curiously.

"Well, we had been trained and instructed by Mr. Kim to follow him until we die. To answer your question, yes, I have. He allows us to go out once every two months." When the servant spoke, her voice was indifferent as though she had been accustomed to this kind of life.

"I see. Well, I've been here for a long time. Is it time for you to go out?" asked Anne again.

"In three days' time. Is there anything you want, Miss? I can buy it for you." The servant was considerate to Anne's needs. However, uncertainty was apparent in Anne's eyes.

"I'll think about it for now. Could you come to my room when you're leaving? I'll tell you what I want by then," said Anne slowly.

The servant nodded in agreement.

When the servant was gone, Anne was left in the garden alone. The moon overhead cast a faint light, illuminating the place. As Anne looked at the distant sky, melancholy dawned on her.

Counting the days, Anne had been staying here for a week. She had no idea how anxious Kevin felt while she was gone.

She wanted to run to Kevin and tell him everything, but there was nothing she could do right now. At that moment, she stretched out her hand in air. The jade bracelet tied around her wrist came into view. It was specifically designed for her family of four.

Seeing this, Anne reminisced the time when she was still with Kevin. She was aware that it was impossible to see him. Soon, the baby in her womb was about to be born. Because of this, pregnancy exhausted her more than ever. Leaning against the lounge chair, she eventually fell asleep.

The gentle breeze of the night blew the hem of her dress, making her look like a beauty who sang enchantingly at the sea.

Kim arrived at that exact moment. Seeing that Anne's hands were on her belly to protect it while she was asleep, he wondered how a weak woman like her could have so much perseverance. Was it because there was life in her belly?

"Why are you here?" Anne suddenly woke up. Seeing Kim, she subconsciously held her belly more protectively.

When Kim noticed her reaction, a frown appeared on his face. It seemed that Anne was afraid of him.

"I just came to warn you not to show up in front of my mother again," he said coldly.

Up until now, he could not forgive Anne for saying something that hurt his mother.

"Why? Your mother is sick. You should do whatever it takes for her to be treated. She needs a psychologist," retorted Anne.

"There's no need for that. If her condition can be cured, she would have been cured a long time ago," answered Kim in a pensive manner. The thing was, his mother would never recover from her condition because she did not want to.

"You don't want your mother to suffer, do you? People need to see the reality clearly. It's all your father's fault anyway. He didn't want your mother to give up. What he needs to do is say something to make your mother give in, then everything will be fine in the end," said Anne with a solemn expression on her face.

She and Kim were not friends at all. The only reason why they were not enemies was because Kim did not hurt her.

As Kim heard this, a cold sneer appeared on his lips. "You live so happy a life, so you don't even know how shameless he is. He will never let my mother give up. He needs her to threaten me to get whatever the hell he wants."

"You see, not everyone is happy. Your mother can't control her emotions as she's immersed in the fear of losing the one she loves. My mother was not with my father yet she remained strong. She even taught me how to properly behave. Besides, this is your mother's problem. Why are you bearing the weight of their conflict on your shoulders?"

"Shut up!" All of a sudden, Kim strangled Anne, making her speechless and breathless.

Her eyes were wide open in shock and her hands were on her belly, protecting it from any possible harm.

At the sight of this, Kim frowned and let go of her at once.

"You know nothing." Those were his last words before he left the garden.

Anne was left alone, coughing and gasping for breath. It took her a long time before she finally recovered. Looking at the direction where Kim had left, she felt fear for the first time.

She saw how terrible Kim could be. He was moody and his mind was a little distorted.

For these reasons, Anne decided to stay away from him as far as possible. She wanted to live safe and not die in the hands of this unprincipled man.
