Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 513 The Paparazzi Attack

Kevin loved Sally more than anything else in the world; she was the apple of his eye. But he neglected his little girl now; his full attention was focused on Ella.

Colin was missing, which meant that he was in danger now. Ella had lost her mother when she was born; Colin was all she had. How could he tell the little girl about her father?

Kevin opened his mouth, but the words choked in his throat. He put Sally on the ground and sighed.

Anne knew what he was thinking. "Eddy, take them upstairs," she instructed.

Eddy's eyes widened. He glanced at the two men behind Kevin before nodding.

The children could sense Kevin's unusual behavior. Ella kept stealing glances at the doorway, hoping to see her father.

"Let's talk in the study," Anne suggested.

Kevin nodded and walked in with the two police officers.

"On the night Colin went missing, Ella had a nightmare. The poor girl freaked out and was crying to me." Anne sighed as she closed the door behind her.

Kevin dropped his gaze to the ground. He remained silent, for he couldn't do anything about it.

"According to the evidence we've collected, someone has killed Colin. His body was dumped into the river. We have sent people to search around the river to find out anything that might lead us to him. But no luck so far." The police officers didn't know that Colin's daughter was staying with the family, nor did they think that she would have lost her mother.

They heard a muffled sob before Anne could say anything. She frowned and turned to Kevin; the uneasiness in his eyes was evident under the faint light.

The sob was heartbreaking. It sounded as if the little girl was in despair but didn't dare to cry out loud.

Ella was standing outside the door, listening to their conversation.

She heard them tell that Colin was dead.

Anne's heart ached as she listened to the relentless sobs. Unable to control herself anymore, she opened the door.

As expected, she saw Ella standing, tears streaming down her face. She had covered her mouth with her palm to suppress her sobs.

Ella raised her head slowly and looked at Anne with bloodshot eyes. Fear and sadness engulfed her at once. She shook her head and ran away without saying a word.

Anne's jaw dropped in shock. She lunged forward and held Ella's hand. The little girl struggled under her hold but realized that she couldn't break free. Her body turned limp as she burst into tears. Anne felt sorry for Ella; she wanted to hold her in her arms and comfort her. But Ella pushed her away. "Liar! You are a liar! You said that my father would be fine. You said the dreams were not true. But my father is dead now! He is dead!

I only had him; he was my world. But he is also dead now. I am an orphan. No one loves me anymore."

Her body hitched as she cried harder. "Daddy, didn't you promise me that you would be with me forever? You are also a liar. You all are liars! You all lied to me! No one loves me."
