Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 34 The Party

As Emily entered the room full-handed, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion and asked, "Yes, I have a phone with me. What do you want to do?"

"Give me your phone." Anne closed the door and reached out to Emily. "I want to call Ryan," she said in a serious tone.

"No," Emily refused decisively, "The last time that you went to see him, Mr. Kevin got very angry. You can't call him now."

Emily had no idea what Anne was thinking. She frowned and continued, "Besides, he just set you free. You really can't call him this time."

Anne puckered her eyebrows and looked at Emily. "Emily, I really have something urgent to deal with. Don't worry, I won't see him this time, okay?" she insisted.

Emily bit her lip. She didn't know whether she should allow Anne to have the phone or not.

She had heard from Kevin that Anne was already free and she was happy for her boss. However, she didn't expect that Anne would contact Ryan again. If Kevin knew that they were in touch, Anne would surely be in trouble again.

No, no! She shook her head and replied firmly, "No, I can't give you my phone." Emily stopped for a second and sighed. "I brought breakfast for you, have some," she said, trying to avert the argument. Anne shook her head. How could she even have the mood to eat now?

"I'll just go shopping with you. What do you think?" Emily said trying to enliven Anne. She raised her head to Emily and said,

"Emily, don't you even want to help me? Even for such a small favor?"

Anne's look was very irresistible. Emily was left with no choice but to give Anne what she wanted. She sighed and handed her phone to Anne. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Here you go, but you can only call him for a minute. You can't talk for too long or even meet him."

"Don't worry," Anne said and grasped the phone. She immediately dialed the number she remembered.

It was a vivid day for Ryan. He was having coffee in the courtyard, bathed in the sunlight. Everything around was tranquil.

The mellow taste of the coffee lingered between his lips. He took a sip of coffee calmly.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang. He put down the coffee and checked his phone.

It was an unknown number. Ryan leaned over and finally answered it.

"Hello?"

"It's me. Where are you now?"

It was Anne's voice. Ryan stood up quickly and said avidly, "Anne, where are you now? How have you been? I heard that you were locked up by Kevin, is that true?"

"Yes, but I'm fine now. I'm calling to tell you that you have to wait for me for a while. I'm afraid I can't contact you for some time,"

Anne said as she held the phone tightly.

Ryan felt relieved after hearing from Anne. "Okay, I understand. Be careful and take good care of yourself," he said calmly.

"Okay, bye."

Anne hung up the phone and returned it to Emily. Emily felt guilty when she saw Anne hang up the phone quickly.

"I'm sorry, Anne. I shouldn't have restricted you on that call," she said sincerely.

Emily didn't know how to face Anne.

"It doesn't matter." Anne sat down at the table. Kevin must have ordered this breakfast. It was some porridge, a plain one to be exact.

She ate some and drank the milk beside it. She was in a quite good mood these days, so she could still eat.

"Come with me, let's shop together," said Anne.

Emily nodded in agreement. Since she had been "imprisoned" for so long, Anne had long wanted to go out for a walk.

She felt way better than before as they walked on a long street.

Following behind, Emily noticed her smiling and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Anne, do you have anything to buy?"

Before they came out, Kevin had told Emily to take care of Anne, and to buy whatever she wanted. For everything that Anne liked, Emily would just ask the clerk to pack them all.

She wondered why Kevin suddenly changed after merely a night. He didn't treat Anne like this before. It really seemed so unusual of him.

Anne turned her head side to side, gazing at the shops on both sides of the street.

It was just an ordinary day, but the place was still crowded with a lot of people. She looked up at the intertwined leaves and the long asphalt road.

Anne chose to walk instead of entering those crowded places.

She always liked to have some peace and quietness. Even if she went outside, she always preferred a place surrounded by tranquility.

"No, thanks,"

Anne shook her head and continued to walk. Emily just followed her silently.

It was indeed a nice day. And every place Anne walked by was lively.

Looking at Anne's thin figure from behind, Emily felt a bit sad.

"Anne, you know what? We have moved the lemon tree to the East Mountain Villa."

Thinking of this all of a sudden, Emily knew that Anne would be very happy, so she couldn't wait to tell her.

"Really?" Anne stopped and looked back at Emily.

She should be happy, but Kevin didn't let her go back to the East Mountain Villa these few days. It was a pity that the tree was moved away without Anne seeing it.

"Yes, I went with Sam. It's planted now. You can see it when you go back." Emily covered her mouth right after.

She just recalled what Kevin had told her earlier, that Anne wouldn't go back to the East Mountain Villa in days.

"Emily, have dinner with me tonight."

Anne glanced at her watch. It was still early in the afternoon. She was tired and needed a rest. Since she became pregnant, she got tired so easily. She became lazy and got sleepy all the time.

"Okay." Emily noticed that Anne looked a bit exhausted. "Are you tired? Do you want to go back and have a rest?"

"Yes."

She nodded and got in the Lincoln car that had been following them since earlier.

After leaving the hotel, Kevin returned to his villa. Cherry had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw Kevin's car drive into the yard, she grinned cheerfully.

"Kevin, are you really back?"

Cherry kept in mind what Kevin said last night. He said that he would come back to accompany her today. Now he was there and it meant that he still truly cared about her.

"Of course, I have promised you that I will come back."

The butler opened the door and Kevin got out of the car. He smiled at Cherry sweetly.

Cherry smiled back and held Kevin's hand. She looked behind Kevin and asked, "Where is Anne?"

Of course she knew where Anne was. She just asked that deliberately. She knew that Kevin must have locked Anne up. After all, she didn't like her to get in between them. Kevin must know what she was thinking about.

He held Cherry's hand firmly and walked into the hall.

"Don't worry about her. I ensure you that we will have a good time together today."

Cherry was relieved after hearing Kevin. She entered the room with him happily. In the room, Selma was sitting calmly on the sofa.

"You're back?" she asked indifferently, not even bothered to look at him.

Her voice was very low, as if she was not satisfied with Kevin's recent performance.

"Mom, why didn't you go out today?"

"If I go out, how would I know if you have come back to accompany Cherry today?" Selma raised her head with a stern look. "Don't go back to the hotel these days. Just let Sam and Emily stay with Anne."

In fact, Selma was also a bit worried that Kevin would be tempted by Anne after staying with her for a long time.

Fortunately, Kevin came back and didn't disappoint her.

Kevin glanced at Cherry and lowered his eyes. Seeing that she looked depressed, he felt guilty.

"I know." He held Cherry's hand tightly and said softly, "Wherever you want to go today, I'll go with you."

A smile drew on Cherry's face. She nodded and said, "It's up to you. I can do whatever you want."

"Well, don't run around today. There is a party tonight, and both of you must attend it."

Kevin hadn't dealt with the business for a long time, so he didn't know about the cocktail party.

He furrowed his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "What party?"

"You've been around Anne recently. Now you remember you still have to deal with the business of the company?" Selma stood up and explained, "Our company is going to bid for a new project recently. You must be present."

Kevin didn't refuse and bowed his head obediently.

And Cherry, of course, was very happy. She enjoyed it the most every time she showed up in public with Kevin.

It was only at that time when Cherry would feel at ease and realize that everything she had suffered then was worth it. One day she would be in the place she truly deserved to be in.

She would become the real young hostess of the Fu Family. At that time, she would trample on Anne, who would then be abandoned by Kevin and despised by everyone.

Time passed quickly, and the day was over. After having an intimate moment with Cherry at home for a day, Kevin went out dressed up.

Finally, they arrived at the party, the most luxurious banquet hall in the city.

As soon as Kevin's car arrived in front of the hotel, countless flashlights lit up.

Kevin was well-known in the city. He was recognized with his power and financial resources. His arrival tonight absolutely made the banquet more exhilarating.

AN Group was determined to get this project.

The door was opened, and a pair of slender legs wrapped in extravagant suit pants got off on the ground. The moment he came in, numerous reporters rushed over and reached out to their multimedia equipment to interview the business tycoon in front of them.
