Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 217 A Surprise Visit

In one of the offices inside the AN Group, the clock was ticking sonorously amidst the quiet afternoon. The sound came from the silver mechanical watch that sat casually on the table, where it shone with a good luster in the light. It looked expensive in every way.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. When Kevin opened it, he saw his jittery assistant.

"Mr. Kevin, your mother just called. She asked you to pay the Luo Family a visit tonight," the assistant uttered the words with care.

"No." Kevin immediately declined without any hint of hesitation.

His voice, which sounded so firm and annoyed, made the assistant feel more nervous. "But Mr. Kevin, Mrs. Selma insisted that you go. Otherwise, I would get fired..." the assistant said in a soft voice.

"Do you think I care? That's not my problem," Kevin coldly retorted.

The assistant knew just what kind of person Kevin was. More than hearing about private things, his boss hated mentioning them at work the most. At this point, he admitted that he committed a big mistake, thus he was already expecting to receive bad news soon.

"Yes, Mr. Kevin. Understood."

Knowing that he couldn't persuade Kevin, the assistant frowned in distress and prepared to leave.

However, before he could reach for the door, his boss stopped him and said, "Hang on."

"Yes, Mr. Kevin? Anything else?"

"Do you know where Anne is right now?" Kevin asked indifferently.

However, the moment he uttered her name, he suddenly felt his heart soften.

"She's staying with the Luo Family at the moment. It seems that they have recognized her, but she has only been there for about three days."

As though he had heard something unexpected, Kevin stopped writing. There was a flash of worry in his deep eyes above his tall nose.

He didn't know whether she was uncomfortable or if anyone bullied her at that place. It vexed him to think about her when she had gone overboard, yet he still couldn't help but care.

After a fierce struggle in his heart, Kevin still found himself unable to defeat his concern for Anne. Then, with a flat tone, he instructed his assistant, "Prepare the car. I'm going to the Luo Family's manor."

"Yes, Mr. Kevin. Right away."

The sunset painted a beautiful scenery outside. The clouds were shining in the sky, enveloping the classic European-style mansion of the Luo Family. It looked absolutely captivating.

As Kevin's car arrived at the gate of the manor, the servant opened the door to see who it was. However, the moment she saw Kevin, she felt terribly flustered that she hurriedly called Valentina.

Unfortunately, Valentina wasn't home. She went and accompanied Rose to see the engagement jewelry, so Liam was the only one left in the house.

Although he was used to the occasions, Liam was still shocked the second he saw Kevin's imposing manner.

"Mr. Liam, it seems I've come at an inopportune moment." Kevin reckoned with a striking smile.

"Indeed. You can sit down and have some rest first. I'm sure that Rose will be ecstatic to see you once they return," Liam said with a trace of worry in his voice.
