Attracted By My Ex-wife

Anne's eyes fluttered open. She finally woke up from her deep sleep and looked at the empty room.

She didn't remember when she had fallen asleep. Her body hurt; she was exhausted.

She rubbed her temples and pulled out her phone from underneath the pillow. It was almost evening.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she remembered what had happened last night. She had gone to her bedroom and closed the door behind her, leaving Kevin outside. She didn't know if he had woken up or not.

She tied her hair to a bun and walked out of her room. Her eyes settled on Sally and Simon, who were sitting on the sofa, watching the cartoon program. The two kids simultaneously turned to look at her.

"Mom..." they squealed and ran to her.

Anne pursed her lips and squatted down. She hadn't been home for three days and missed her kids terribly. She didn't know how they were doing.

Sally and Simon threw themselves into her arms. Anne closed her eyes and wrapped them in a tight embrace.

"Mom, where have you been? Simon and I missed you so much." Sally pouted and hugged her mother tighter.

Anne lowered her head to meet Sally's eyes. The kids weren't aware of Eddy's condition. She knew that they would make a fuss to go to the hospital, so she wasn't ready to disclose the information yet.

The three children were closely knit; they were fond of each other. Anne regarded them as the best gift of her life. However, Eddy was more important to her now. And she didn't want the other two kids to worry about him.

Anne had taught her kids never to lie. However, she had no choice but to hide the truth from them.

She felt guilty and didn't know how to explain the situation to them.

Simon looked at his mother's face and shook his head as if he had realized something. He tugged onto Sally's dress. "Dad and Mom are busy with work. Have you forgotten that?"

Sally pouted and nodded. She wanted to argue that her parents had been busy before, but they had never stayed away from home for a long time. Moreover, Selma had never left their side, but she was with Eddy and Ella now. The little girl knew that no one would listen to her, so she chose to remain silent.

Anne ruffled Anne's hair and smiled.

"Is Dad at home?" she asked, raking her eyes across the room.

"No, Dad left a long time ago. He isn't back yet!" Simon replied.

Anne nodded. She understood that Kevin must have been worried about his mother and Ella. He might have left for the hospital to take care of them.

"Well, you two play at home. You must behave well, okay? I have something to do so I will be gone for a while. Grandma will be back soon." Anne stood up to leave.

"Mrs. Anne." Mrs. Chen, the maid, stopped her.

She turned around and looked at Mrs. Chen, wondering what she wanted. "When Mr. Kevin left, he asked me to make sure you eat something when you wake up," she explained.

Anne nodded her head helplessly.

She had spent the last three days taking care of Eddy. She hardly ate or slept. Her stomach rumbled with hunger just after Mrs. Chen finished her words. The woman was right; she had to eat something.
