Attracted By My Ex-wife

Anne held Ella in her arms and rubbed her back comfortingly. She was determined to save Colin and reunite the father and daughter.

Ella cried her heart out. Anne patiently consoled the girl and stayed with her until she fell asleep.

It was past midnight when Anne returned to her room. Kevin was still awake. He saw her and rubbed his neck. "Has Ella fallen asleep?"

Anne took off her pajamas and tossed them aside. "I think the girl is made of water."

She shook her head helplessly and showed him the pajamas soaked in Ella's tears.

Kevin couldn't help but smile at his wife. Ella had cried a lot. However, the little girl was adorable. Everyone felt sorry for her rather than regarding her cries as a nuisance.

"The mayor's daughter's birthday is on the day after tomorrow. There will be a party. All famous people in A City will attend the ceremony." Kevin took out three invitation cards and gave them to Anne. "These are for us."

The cards were addressed to Kevin, Anne, and Selma respectively.

Anne groaned with frustration. "I hate such parties. But it will be inappropriate if we don't go."

Kevin smiled and threw the cards aside. He, too, hated attending boring parties. But they had no choice but to mark their presence.

Two days had passed in the blink of an eye. However, Peter hadn't made any progress in his investigation. They couldn't find any information either.

Ella was happy that her father was still alive. Her nightmares finally ceased, so Anne and Kevin could sleep at peace. Although the little girl missed her father, she believed that he would come to see her soon.

The mayor's daughter had turned eighteen this year. Therefore, it was not just a birthday party but her coming-of-age ceremony as well.

Selma enjoyed attending parties. Therefore, she bought a gift on behalf of the Fu Family.

"Too many things have happened in A City this year. You seldom get the chance to attend such a lively occasion. Moreover, you two work all day long and worry about Kim. You can have fun at the ball," Selma persuaded the couple.

Anne and Kevin looked at each other and sighed. They preferred staying at home rather than attending a boring party.

Anne wore a light-blue maxi dress to the party, while Kevin was decked in a black suit. The two looked beautiful, like a match made in heaven.

The Fu Family held a powerful position in A City. Although a lot had happened in the past, none of them seemed to affect the family's reputation.

All eyes turned to them when Kevin walked in with his mother and wife. Everyone greeted them warmly.

"Mr. Kevin, Mrs. Anne, you are finally here! Mrs. Selma, I'm so happy to see you!" The mayor's wife welcomed them.

Everyone was beaming with joy. Selma immediately gave her the box in her hand. "This is our gift for Miss Eliza."

Considering the Fu Family's status, they knew that it must have been a valuable gift. The mayor's wife looked excited. She turned around and waved at a girl, gesturing for her to come over.

Anne and Kevin followed the woman's gaze and saw a beautiful girl in a white dress. She was talking to a young boy.

However, she noticed her mother's gesture and quickly walked up to her.
