Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 314 Get Out Of Here

Selma had not once set foot inside in the hospital for the past month, but she had been in regular contact with the staff, keeping a close watch over Eddy's condition. She knew that the boy would be discharged today.

The news put her in high spirits.

At once, she had given the maids instructions to clean the entire house and to prepare a party to welcome Eddy back and celebrate his recovery.

No one had expected the celebrant to miss his own party.

Selma waited eagerly for Eddy's arrival, running towards the door every time it rang. The hours passed and morning turned into night, and her anticipation dwindled down until it turned into disappointment. It was already early the next day, but there had been no sign of Eddy.

She grit her teeth when she finally pieced things together. Kevin and Anne made a fool of her. They weren't coming back again.

The next moment, a loud crash echoed through the empty room. Shards of glass and broken plates littered the floor. Still unsatisfied, Selma smashed the table, sparing not a single tableware or food.

"That bitch!" she screamed. Yes, this was all Anne's fault. First she had taken away her son, and now she was trying to take her grandson away from her too. What more did she want? Selma had already apologized and acknowledged her mistake, and it had been half a month.

Now, even Kevin had refused to see her. Selma was sure that even that had been Anne's doing.

She just never stopped ruining her life.

"Just you wait, Anne. You'll be out of the picture soon enough. I promise you that!" Selma screamed, her voice vindictive in the cover of darkness.

There was a glaring contrast between Anne's house and the cold and empty mansion. It was a simple home, not in any way lavish or elegant, but it was filled with joy and warmth.

When Eddy was finally discharged from the hospital, Anne and Kevin's happiness was unrivaled. Sally was excited to play with her brother, and the whole family was in a state of complete bliss. Anne and Kevin personally cooked so they could celebrate Eddy's improving health.

As they enjoyed their time together, a wayward thought cast a shadow over Anne's happiness, turning the shades darker. How great would it have been if Simon was also here?

She watched her two children as they cheerfully talked and ate, and couldn't help but wonder how her other son was feeling at this moment. A sliver of guilt crept into her chest. Did she have any right to enjoy a moment's peace when one of her children was missing from her arms? Before her resolve broke, she steeled herself. No. She could not falter now. They had just survived a storm. She believed in Kevin, and in herself. They would definitely get Simon back, and their happiness would be complete.

Early next morning, the momentary spell of peace that had settled upon their home broke. A loud bang woke Anne and Kevin up in the darkness of the hours before dawn.

It was an undeniable, human sound. Someone was pounding on the door.

Kevin's body sprang into action. He pulled on his clothes and said to Anne, "Go to the children. I'll go and see what's going on."

Anne nodded and quickly headed to the direction of their children, but not before catching a glimpse of the person at the door. Her gaze went past Kevin's broad back and fell on Selma's figure at the doorway.

It had come as no surprise to Anne and Kevin that Selma had found them despite no one telling her of where they lived. Tracking someone down was a piece of cake if you had enough money.

Kevin frowned at his mother, clearly not expecting her visit at this hour. "Mom, what are you doing here at this time? Aren't you afraid of scaring the children?" he said in a low voice.

But Selma only smiled wryly and took off her sunglasses. There were dark circles under her eyes.
