Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 208

"Okay, Kevin. Since you're busy with work, just leave the wedding to auntie. Don't worry about it," Rose said with a smile before leaving.

As soon as she closed the door behind her, she lowered her head, hiding her disappointment with her hair.

"Rose, what did Kevin say?" Selma asked expectantly.

At this time, Rose tried to appear normal. She smiled before she replied, "Kevin said that you could handle it. We both think you can arrange everything well."

Selma didn't notice anything unusual. Thinking that everything was alright, she smiled and held Rose's hand.

"Then let's head back. You need to talk to your parents, too. We have a lot of things to do."

Selma felt very nervous since there were only ten days left before the announcement of their engagement.

"Yes, auntie. Take care."

After saying goodbye to Selma, Rose tried to call her parents.

Meanwhile, Anne was just about to finish cleaning up in MH Villa.

She wore her long hair tucked behind a headband, revealing her delicate ears. She had a faraway look in her eyes.

She left soup boiling in a pot, which gave off a pleasant aroma.

After leaving Kevin, she missed Eddy very much. But she had to be strong.

To show her gratitude for being allowed to stay in the house, she also tidied up Ian's study.

The room was very unique. It was not decorated luxuriously, but it looked beautiful with red wooden floor, antique desk, and plants on the table. There was a gorgeous view outside of the window and natural light was sufficient.

The shelf was full of books, many of them rare and couldn't easily be bought in a store. It seemed as if there was more to Ian than what met the eye.

With a faint smile, Anne looked around and saw a photo frame on the desk. It was put upside down but she didn't know who put it there.

Straightening up the frame, she discovered a secret.

Instead of a photo, the frame featured a painting.

There were several clouds and an angel with broken wings. It looked very familiar.

"Why is this painting here?" Anne asked curiously.

Could Ian be the boy who competed with Kevin before?

Closing her eyes, she tried to recall the scene from that time, but realized that she could not remember anything except for that man's arrogance.

"Could it be you, Ian?" Anne murmured to herself.

She picked Kevin's painting over that boy's at that time because she had a feeling for Kevin. She knew it was so unfair to that boy and that was why she had always remembered this thing even after she grew up.

Suddenly, her attention was called by the boiling pot, which had been overflowing. Putting the frame down, she rushed to the kitchen to turn off the heat.

At this point, the huge TV screen in the living room lit up. It was set to automatically turn on at twelve o'clock.

A report about Kevin was being featured in the news.

"The CEO of AN Group and the daughter of L Group are going to be engaged on November 27, two weeks from now. Many people are excited about the union and it seems as if the whole country is waiting for more updates. Let's see more in details."

Anne was at a loss. On the screen, she saw Selma smiling. She was with Rose, who gave off the air of a socialite.

Anne turned off the sound. Seeing Selma smiling and happy, Anne thought that she should feel happy for them but couldn't.

Annoyed, she turned off the TV, but the pain in her heart wouldn't fade away.

She thought she didn't care about it all anymore, so she decided to leave. But why did she feel sad after learning that Kevin agreed to get married?

She placed her hand on her chest. She felt as if it was about to burst.

She tried to smile, but tears streamed down from her eyes without her control. It seemed as if her strength was draining from her body.

"Anne, are you okay?" Ian asked after seeing her, but Anne did not respond.

Ian had learned about Kevin's engagement before Anne. Worried, he came back to the house to check up on her. Sorrow flashed in his eyes when he saw the upset look on her face.

Her tears had stopped but she still didn't say anything. Even when Ian tried to help her up, she resisted. She looked like a homeless kitten, which made him feel sorry for her.

"You should probably rest. Everything will be okay. If you want your child back, I'll help you. No lawyer can defeat Mark. I will give you whatever you need. Just please, rest. Okay?" Ian sounded flustered. Fortunately, Anne agreed to lie down and rest.
