Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 391 Apologize

With worried eyes, Kevin stared at Anne. "Kim is a cunning bastard! He remains in hiding, and the police can't catch him. Even if I want to punish him, it's difficult! Additionally, Anne, the medicine he used on you hasn't faded yet. Your feelings are still a mess. I don't want to bother you. Please leave this to me."

"No way! I'll make him pay for all the things he did to me!" Anne said in a firm tone. She was shaking her head as she stared at Kevin.

Deep inside, she wanted to punish Kim by her own methods, and not through someone else.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes as he understood what she meant. Even though she knew what was going on with her, she couldn't help but reject him.

As such, he could only smile as he withdrew his gaze. In his head, it didn't matter what Anne wanted to do. He would help her nonetheless. At that moment, he vowed to be the best person she could rely on.

"Well, I know my emotions are going haywire right now. However, there are still things that I don't understand. I have no idea how to properly deal with my problems. Kevin, do you have any advice for me?" Since she learned that they were a couple, Anne figured that she shouldn't be so polite.

However, she still lowered her eyes to hide her conflicted expression. It was hard for her to deal with everything with an opposite attitude.

Troubled, Kevin lowered his head and was silent for a while. Then, in a soft voice, he said, "Well, the first thing you should know is that we are a couple. There's no need for you to be so formal towards me."

With a smile, Anne gently nodded.

Indeed, a couple shouldn't act like such. She had to learn how to get along with him as a romantic partner.

"It a little chilly here. Why don't we head downstairs?" Kevin softly asked as he looked at Anne. The cold breeze blew through the night.

With a nod, she slowly followed Kevin. Meanwhile, the three children were still awake. Their big eyes looked at the couple.

Confused, Anne and Kevin looked at one another and squatted down. With a smile, she calmly said, "It's already late. Why aren't you guys asleep yet?"

With a pout, Sally looked at Simon and answered in a cute voice, "My brothers are still awake, so I stayed awake too."

Then, Simon turned to Eddy and said, "Well, Eddy wasn't sleeping, so neither did I."

Immediately, Eddy pursed his lips. While shaking his head, he rubbed his forehead. Since they were getting along for the past few days, Eddy realized that he became the group's scapegoat. Since he was the eldest, he was always the one to blame!

For a moment, he missed the old days.

With a light smile, Kevin complacently looked at Eddy. The latter understood what his father's look meant. As such, he stepped forward and held Anne's hand. "Mom, I have something to confess. Since the day you arrived here, I knew the truth. I knew that you were acting differently. Although I prepared for the worst, I realized that the situation is not that bad."

When she heard that, Anne raised an eyebrow. She once overheard Kevin when he made a phone call here. She knew that Eddy knew the truth all along.

"Grandma said that the more you loved some in the past, the more you hate them now. Since you loved us so much, I thought you might hate us now. However, even though you were so distant towards us when you came back, I could still see from your eyes that you love us," Eddy said in a low voice as he blushed. Then, he wrapped himself in his mother's arms.

Surprised, Anne embraced him tighter. Indeed, she felt disgusted when she first saw her children. However, as they spent more time together, she realized how she truly felt about them.

It was almost impossible to resist the drug's influence since it affected the victim's thoughts unconsciously. However, Anne understood that her instincts could remain intact.

A woman was weak. However, a mother was strong. After becoming a mother, she always loved and doted on her children. As such, even after being injected with the drug, she couldn't hate her children.

A gentle smile pained Anne's face as she playfully caressed Simon's and Sally's faces. Then, she patted Eddy on the back. "Don't worry, my dear. Since I am now aware of the truth, I can counter the effects of the drug. Your father and I will work together through any difficulties. Our family will be together forever. Nothing will separate us."

Then, Kevin lowered his head and looked at the children with tender eyes. A warm sensation from his heart spread throughout his body.

At that moment, Kevin wanted to tightly embrace his family. However, he feared that it would only cause Anne to feel the opposite. As such, he tried to suppress his emotions.

Nonetheless, she appreciated that Anne said such words. It was a great change overall!

"When Sally and I were younger, you were always saying that we were going to reunite with Dad!" Simon smiled as he looked at his mother. "I felt really worried when you changed. However, it's relieving to see you now."

Anne was surprised with her child's maturity. "You sound like a grown-up!"

A smile flashed across Simon's lips as he held Sally's hand and walked towards their room. Eddy also released himself from Anne's embrace. He winked at Kevin and also left.

"Well, we seem to have sensible children," Kevin said in a doting smile as he smiled.

Those kids were not only important to Anne, but also to him. He couldn't let anything happen to any of them.

At that moment, Kevin's expression suddenly turned grim. Even though Eddy's health was currently stable, he still feared that the illness might recur!

Moreover, they still hadn't heard any news about a heart donor!

Suddenly, Anne stood up and smiled at him. He put his worries away and put on a bright expression. There was no need to say anything more, because that smile was enough to show how he was feeling now.

That night was the best one they had lately. Although nothing major happened, it felt like all their hearts were once again connected as a family.

Despite the drug's strong effect, Anne was still aware that she was part of that family. She promised herself that she wouldn't do anything irrational again.

The following morning, Kevin decided not to go to work. Instead, he stayed at home with Anne. He wanted to have a sincere conversation with her, but she was unwilling. However, because of his persistence, she had no choice but to talk with him on the sofa.

He figured that the more contact he had with her, the faster it would be for her to find back her feelings for him. She also thought this might work.

Unexpectedly, Sam and Emily came to visit!

Suddenly, Kevin unknowingly frowned. Ever since Sam's injury, Emily always seemed to be in pain. The latter thought Sam loved Anne. Soon, her insecurities grew worse.

It was surprising for the couple to visit together.

Kevin had no idea why the other two were there. Then, he grew more surprised when he saw the couple holding hands, smiling.

It was weird since those two hadn't gotten along since their marriage. Moreover, they also quarreled yesterday. It was unbelievable that they were reconciled so quickly.

With slightly raised eyebrows, Anne looked at Emily from head to toe. She recalled how the latter slapped her yesterday.

Emily revealed a troubled look and glanced at Sam. He nodded at her. With a deep breath, she let go of Sam's arm and approached Anne. In a guilty tone, she said, "Anne, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I shouldn't have said that nor should I had hurt you. It's all my fault. Can you forgive me?"

So she came to apologize?

However, Anne remembered how Emily embarrassed her recently. She had no idea why the latter would suddenly apologize.

Meanwhile, Sam also looked at her with an expectant expression. Troubled, she looked at Kevin, and he gave her a nod.

A helpless smile flashed in Anne's face as he rubbed her temple. She looked at Emily and said, "Emily, you should know how strange my emotions are right now because of the drug. When you slapped me

yesterday, instead of getting angry, I became excited!

There's no need for you to apologize since I'm not angry at you in the first place."

When she heard Anne's words, Emily faintly smiled. Then, she revealed a complex expression and looked at Anne. She didn't expect the latter to be excited after getting slapped.

"Ha-ha!" Sam had never seen a masochist like Anne. As such, he uncontrollably burst into laughter. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Meanwhile, Kevin helplessly shook his head as he watched the other three. Emily had no idea how to respond, so she glanced at Sam.

With furrowed eyebrows, Kevin asked, "Emily, do you still doubt Sam's love for you now?"

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. Her face grew red as she stared at Sam. The latter looked back at her with doting eyes. It made her face redder.

Now that they had cleared up all their misunderstandings, looking back at the recent events, Emily thought it was silly.

When she saw how Saw risked his life for Anne, Emily felt troubled. Additionally, he left her during their wedding, which created more doubts in her heart. Those factors affected the succeeding events.

Initially, Emily thought that she would only fall in love with one man in her life. She would remember her wedding as a precious day as it would only happen once in a life. Unfortunately, a terrible thing happened and Sam left during the wedding. She felt wronged and doubted Sam's love for her.

Nonetheless, despite everything that happened, she was still in love with him. She wanted to be with him even if he loved another woman. Since she was so devoted to him, nothing else mattered.

Moreover, Sam promised yesterday she was the only woman in his heart. He emphasized that he and Anne were mere friends.

Additionally, she knew Anne for so many years. She was aware that the latter only had feelings for Kevin.

As such, she realized that she was just making trouble for herself.

"I often jump to conclusions and doubt others. But since I now know everything, I want to apologize to Anne." Emily gave Kevin a sincere look.

Soon, a smile appeared in Kevin's mouth as he gave Emily a thumbs up. "I appreciate that you thought of that."

With a heavy nod, Emily looked at Anne. The latter was also looking at her with a smile. However, she saw that there was still a hint of hesitation in Anne's eyes.

Anne shrugged and touched her own forehead. "I have no idea how to react."

With a sigh, Emily squatted in front of Anne and held the latter's hand. In a firm and sincere tone, she said, "Anne, please forgive me. It's all my fault!"
