Hunting for His EX-Wife

Due to the shock she had experienced, Anna stayed in Jimmy’s apartment for the next few days. During this time, she felt Jimmy’s meticulous care for her, but…

As another phone call rang out, Anna looked helpless. She couldn’t remember how many times her mother had called her already.

Thinking back to her mother’s previous inquiries on the phone, Anna really didn’t want to answer it. But at the same time, she was afraid that her mother was calling because of their father.

There was no choice but for Anna to press the answer button.

Before she could even speak a word, Mrs. Miller’s sharp voice pierced through the phone and into Anna’s ear.

“Why did it take you so long to answer?”

Hearing such an angry question made Anna sigh helplessly. “I’ve been busy and didn’t hear it.”

After hearing this response from Anna, Mrs. Miller became even angrier.

“I’m outside your apartment right now; open up quickly! I have something I need to ask you.”

Her mother was outside?

Anna took a deep breath and turned pale instantly at the thought of what might happen if her mother found out that she was living with Jimmy – would she come over and demand money from him?

“Mom… I’m not home right now; I’m at work,” said Anna as she tried lying in order to stop Mrs. Miller from coming over.

But…

“I just came back from your company; they said you haven’t been there for training these past few days,” replied Mrs. Miller coldly.

Anna suddenly felt like fainting upon hearing this news.

“I… I’m at a friend’s house because my health hasn’t been good lately and I didn’t want you to worry about me,” lied Anna again in an attempt to stop further questioning by Mrs. Miller.

Mrs. Miller snorted coldly.

“I don’t care where you are right now but you must tell me why your older brother suddenly went so far away for work.”

Upon hearing this question, anxiety crept up on Anna’s face as she furrowed her brows tightly together.

How should she respond?

Should I tell my mom that her precious son had evil intentions towards me and almost humiliated while drunk?

The thought of that scene still gave shivers down Anna’s spine, making her hand holding onto the phone tremble slightly.

As there wasn’t any response from Anna, Mrs. Millers face grew unpleasant by each passing second .

Mrs. Miller gritted her teeth and asked, “Your older brother has never left the country before, but now he suddenly ran so far away and can’t come back in a short time. Did you do it? Did you send him away with the help of your man because you despise your brother for being a lazy bum at home?”

Anna sighed.

“I didn’t do anything. You can take it as him going to that place to toughen up and improve his character, or else he’ll always be a shameless person.”

Anna spoke coldly. As she predicted, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Mrs. Miller’s scolding in her ear.

Perhaps in my mom’s heart, I would always be just nothing while my son was the treasure.

“Mom, I’m busy now. I’ll hang up first.”

Without giving Mrs. Miller any chance to speak again, Anna hung up directly.

Afraid that Mrs. Miller would call again, she turned off her phone and threw it aside.

Even though several days had passed already, whenever Anna closed her eyes or was alone somewhere by herself, the scene from that day would automatically appear before her eyes.

Thinking of her brother’s hand on her shoulder made Anna feel nauseous; she painfully rushed towards the bathroom.

Jimmy walked into the room and heard vomiting sounds which made him full of worry; he quickly rushed towards the bathroom.

Seeing Anna hunched over next to the toilet vomiting heavily made his eyes filled with tenderness as he gently patted her back.

After quite some time had passed by, Anna slowly stood up.

After rinsing out mouthwash, she walked out of bathroom with Jimmy’s support.

Jimmy hugged Anna tightly, feeling heartbroken for what happened earlier.

Breathing in his familiar male scent on Jimmy’s body calmed down Anna’s frightened heart slowly.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Do you want me to invite your friend over for some company?” Jimmy softly asked.

He thought that Anna would agree but unexpectedly she shook her head.

“I… I don’t want to be around anyone right now…” Under Jimmy’s deep black gaze filled with warmth, Anna opened her red lips. “I’m afraid other people will get close besides you… afraid something similar will happen again.”

The words full of fear rang in his ears making Jimmy feel even more sorry for what happened earlier.

“Let’s go abroad for vacation.”

Upon hearing this, Anna lifted her beautiful face, her big watery eyes filled with hope.

“Really? But… you’re the CEO of the Harrison Group and J. S. Entertainment. Accompanying me overseas for a break will surely affect your work. Let’s forget about it,” Anna said, disappointment etched on her face.

Jimmy gently kissed her cheek.

“I have so many subordinates to rely on now. Besides, I can work remotely while abroad and there happens to be a client there that I need to meet,” he replied.

“Are you sure it won’t affect your work?”

Anna’s sparkling eyes shone with excitement and radiance.

“Of course not,” Jimmy chuckled.

Anna jumped up in joy.

“I can finally leave this city that has caused me so much pain! I… I want to go overseas and completely forget about these terrible memories.”

Finally seeing a genuine smile on Anna’s face made Jimmy feel happy…
