Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 530

Three days had passed. The LF Group had spent the last few days preparing to reopen the business. Eddy was getting better. His body was responding well to the treatment. Simon and Sally felt sorry for their big brother after they heard that he was in the hospital. The two would have stayed with him at the hospital if they had found out about his condition earlier.

Everything was changing for the better. However, the reminder about one person brought an eerie feeling in Anne's and Kevin's hearts.

It was Kim.

No one could anticipate his moves.

After winning the case, the LF Group had sued the TS Company. The once-successful business empire had turned into a fraudulent concern in the eyes of people. People continued to bash them for their illegal activities.

Rumors said that someone had threatened the president of the TS Company. He had no choice but to follow his orders.

Anne and Kevin knew that it was Kim. No one else would do such a thing.

Kim had turned into a nightmare in A City. At first, only the police and Anne knew that he was still alive. Now, everyone in A City was aware of his existence. The news has caused a riot everywhere.

However, the police couldn't trace him down. No one could tell where he was hiding.

People regarded him as a criminal genius. If the man had used his intelligence the right way, he would have become a successful detective by now.

However, he had chosen a different path, marking his destruction.

"The reopening of the LF Group is a momentous occasion. You should go!" suggested Selma. Anne was sitting in the ward with her.

In the past few days, Anne had been with Eddy. She wanted to take care of her son and wasn't in the mood to attend the event.

She looked at Eddy. Her gentle gaze raked across the boy's innocent face. He was looking at her with his deep, dark eyes.

She and Kevin were usually busy and hardly got the chance to spend time with their children. Anne wanted to be with them now.

Therefore, she chose to be at the hospital.

"Rose had arranged everything. I'm sure she will manage this as well. I trust her. Moreover, Mark is there to help her. Things will be easy if they work together. They are capable people. I believe them."

Selma smiled and nodded in agreement.

Kevin gently knocked on the door and waved at Anne. He didn't come in because he wasn't wearing scrubs.

Anne walked over and arched her brows, gesturing for him to tell why he was here. "Emily is about to give birth to the baby!"

"What?" Anne squealed in shock. "But isn't the due date next week?"

"Yeah, but Emily's water broke. She is about to give birth." Kevin smiled.

Anne slapped her forehead, not knowing what to do. "Why are you two still standing here? You guys better go to the hospital and see her," Selma urged, smiling.

Emily and Sam were going to have their first baby.

Anne nodded and followed Kevin.

Eddy beamed with joy. "That's great. Aunt Emily and Uncle Sam are going to have a baby."

Selma nodded, "Time flies. The young generation start to have children now."

Eddy pursed his lips and looked at his grandmother. He was already four years old. Why did his grandmother start to realize that until now?

Sam paid extra attention to Emily since she was giving birth before the due date. He had arranged for the best doctor in the hospital to deliver the baby.

Sam had planned to deliver the baby himself. However, he was worried that he might be very nervous during the process because it was his own child. Therefore, he decided to leave it to other doctors.

When Anne and Kevin arrived, Sam was pacing back and forth in the corridor. He was so nervous and didn't know what to do.

It was their first child -- the gift of their love. How could he not be tense?

"How is she doing? Is everything all right?" asked Anne.

It was not until she spoke did Sam realize that the couple had come to see him. "I have no idea!" he said, shaking his head.

"Giving birth to a baby is not easy. Let's patiently wait here," Anne comforted him.

Sam nodded, stealing glances at the operation theatre. He knew that his wife was a strong woman. He prayed for her to be fine.

No one could rest assured when their wife was giving birth to their baby.

Even though Anne had given birth to three children, she couldn't sit still on the chair. She, too, kept looking at the operation theater.

"Nothing will happen. She will be fine." Kevin squeezed Anne's shoulder comfortingly.

She looked at him and nodded. Anne knew that Emily would be fine, but that didn't stop her from worrying.

The clock seemed to tick slower than ever. Finally, the light of the operation theater went off. The door flew open, and the nurses wheeled Emily out of the room.

"How is she?" Sam asked, rushing towards her.

"Congratulations! You are a father now. Both the mother and the daughter are safe and sound," the nurse answered with a sweet smile.

Sam closed his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief before looking at Emily, who was drenched in sweat. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead. "Thank you," he whispered.

Emily shook her head as a faint smile crept onto her tired face. "You are welcome!"

Tears welled up in his eyes and trickled down his cheeks. He said no more and just held Emily's hand tightly.

Kevin and Anne looked at each other. They didn't want to disturb Emily. After all, the couple needed to spend time with each other.

Moreover, Emily had to rest.

The baby was still weak, so the nurse placed her in an incubator.

They went to the nursery room together. The newborn baby was wrapped in a tiny blanket; she hadn't opened her eyes yet. She didn't cry or make any noise but had fallen asleep.

"She must be a good girl." Anne smiled at the baby tenderly. "When I gave birth to Sally, she caused a huge ruckus in the hospital. She was a noisy kid -- worse than Simon."

Kevin looked at Anne with a trace of guilt in his eyes. He wasn't there when Anne had given birth to Sally.

Anne had to take care of the two kids on her own.

Kevin let out a weary sigh. He would make up for the lost times by taking extra care of Anne in the future.

However, Anne didn't know what Kevin was thinking.

"Oh, she will be the best! After all, she is my daughter!" Sam said, puffing his chest.

"Have you come up with a name for your baby?" she asked, her gaze still fixed on the baby.

"Olivia." Sam chuckled.

"Liv," Anne whispered, shaking her head. "It is a beautiful name!"

"Well, it was Emily's choice."

Anne nodded.

Emily got the best treatment and care after giving birth to the baby.

The nurse shifted her to the general ward. Emily's face broke into an ecstatic grin.

"This little girl has finally come out of my belly. It feels weird that my stomach is flat again." She looked at Anne, trailing her fingers across her stomach. "It is a strange feeling."

Anne couldn't help but laugh. "If you can't get used to it, why don't you have another baby soon?"

Emily's eyes lit up. When she was about to nod, Sam spoke. "Let's talk about it later."

Anne looked at him, confused.

"A woman has to endure a lot of pain to give birth to a child," said Kevin.

Everyone realized that Sam felt sorry for his wife. He couldn't watch her suffer. Emily's face flushed with embarrassment. She burst out laughing.

Anne walked out with Kevin so that the two could spend some time with each other.

It was already dusk. Standing on the balcony, Anne looked at the saffron sky. "It is so beautiful." She smiled.

The sunset cast an orange hue on the sky. The thick foam of clouds floated around the sun.

Kevin wrapped his arms around Anne's waist and whispered in her ear, "It will always be beautiful."

Anne pressed herself closer to him and took a deep breath, reveling in the bliss of his embrace. She knew that they would be happy forever.

But every time Anne and Kevin got the chance to be alone, someone or the other disturbed them. Anne's phone rang.

She groaned and pulled it out of her pocket. It was a call from Peter.

"Hi, Anne. I'm back in A City. I heard that your company reopened today. I came to see you, but you weren't there.

Are you dating with Kevin? A good boss shouldn't leave their employees on their own," he teased.

"Oh, shut up!" Anne said, rubbing her forehead.

She informed him that Emily had given birth to the baby. Peter was happy to hear the news.

Sam was single when Peter had left the country. Now, he was not only a married man but a doting father as well.

It had been a year since Peter left. A lot of things had changed in a short time.

"You have been abroad for nearly a year. Don't you have a girlfriend?" Anne asked.

Peter sighed heavily. "My career will always be my first love. My job is important than marriage. I have been busy with work, so I hardly have the time to see girls."

A frown lined Anne's forehead.

She wondered what Peter was doing now.

"Well, I'm on my way to your house. Do you mind if I visit you?" Peter asked.

"Of course not," Anne answered and hung up the call.

The smile on Kevin's face disappeared. Peter was back in A City, and he had no idea what he came back for.

"Eddy's birthday is on next week," Anne smiled at him. "Can he have sweets now?"

Kevin nodded. "We should ask the doctor."

There was no point in cutting the cake if the birthday boy couldn't have it.

The two informed Sam about Peter's arrival and went home. Peter was already there, playing with the two kids in the hall.

Simon and Sally were very young when Peter was around before. But now, they still remembered him.

"Uncle Peter, we haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?" The two kids were curious.

"Well, I went abroad. I just came back." Peter ruffled their hair and asked, "Do you like the gifts I bought for you?"

"Yes, I love them." Both the kids clapped their hands excitedly.

"Well, I'm glad you like the gifts." Peter chuckled.

Anne and Kevin walked into the room. They were both happy and relieved to witness the friendly interaction.

Perhaps Peter was here because he missed the city and his family, and there was no other strange reason for his unexpected visit.

After all, they were still friends.

"Are you guys wondering why I have come back all of a sudden?" Peter asked, right after Sally and Simon left for their rooms upstairs.

"Yeah. We want to know." Anne nodded.

A mischievous grin stretched across Peter's lips. He took out his business card and handed it to Anne and Kevin.

The two were shocked after seeing his designation on the card. Peter was a detective now.

"Well, I am a smart man now. I have learned everything quickly in the past year. You know I have become quite famous." Peter smiled, running his fingers through his hair.

Anne rolled her eyes. Peter had come back with a few more narcissistic tendencies.

"And then?" Kevin asked, looking at him with expectant eyes.

He still couldn't figure out why he was here.

The smile on Peter's face disappeared. He looked serious as he cleared his throat and began to explain everything.
