Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 215

There was a cloud of mist that moistened the morning in a drizzle, but the breeze was not as gentle as the heaven's sprinkle. The weather finally felt a little cold.

With her hefty suitcase in her hand, Anne walked to the Luo Family's mansion and rang the doorbell. In a matter of seconds, a servant opened the door.

"Miss, who are you?"

Today, Anne wore a loose black windbreaker, and her curly long hair was dampened by the subtle rain. Her temperament mirrored the cold weather, and her eyes seemed to be able to pierce through people's hearts.

"It's my sister!" said Rose excitedly.

Setting aside the matter of Kevin, Rose liked Anne very much. Even with the conflict between them, she could never be indifferent to Anne.

"That's right." Seeing the easygoing smile on Rose's lips, Anne had no idea why she felt unwelcome.

Behind the grand door of the main house, Liam and Valentina stood side by side in the middle of the hall.

Liam's eyes were beacons of joy and he looked as if he had just cried, while Valentina looked dead serious. Her thoughts were a haze, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

"This is great!" Liam spoke with electricity as his enthusiasm overflowed.

"Your room is ready upstairs. Allow Rose to accompany you there," said Valentina as she frowned.

"I'm going to the kitchen and check if the meal is ready." Valentina strode off in a sultry walk into the kitchen.

Rose's expression was anomalous, and she glanced at Liam without saying a word.

Even though Anne wasn't bothered by Valentina's timbre, Liam still felt sorry for her.

"Anne, she's usually kind and hospitable, but forgive her cheekiness. She's probably anxious. Don't take her too seriously."

Compared to Liam's prudence, Anne was calm and collected. She smiled and said, "It's all right."

She had endured the wrath inside the Ye Clan for a long time, so how could she not sense that Valentina was not delighted to have her? Her unsolicited behavior was nothing new to her. She showed up not to please her nor anyone at all. She was here to fulfill the dying wish of her departed mother. Anything belittling, she could ignore with ease.

"Great! Rose will take you to your room now."

The newly renovated room was decorated with the theme of pastel lavender.

The door-size mirror had an intricate lilac frame, and the amaranthine windowsill was ornamented with a few black swallowtail butterflies. It was startling and beautiful which was in lieu of Anne's taste.

"Do you like it?" asked Rose curiously.

"It's good." Anne was not the type of woman who would express herself flamboyantly,

but Rose didn’t bother her bland reaction. She was in a good mood today!

"I knew you would like it. I carefully arranged it myself!"

The phone rang abruptly as they spoke. It was Emily, and Anne was quick to answer the call. She said to Rose timidly, "I have to leave for a while."

"Oh, but the meal is ready," said Rose.

When she saw the wrought on Anne's face, she knew she had to accept her excuse. She said, "Just go back after you're finished."

On the broad table of the dining, there were eight different dishes and one steaming soup. The feast was colorful, but none of the people sitting at the tableside looked as festive.

"Look at her. She left on her first day. What does she think of our home? A hotel?" Valentina said irritably.

Rose was displeased by her words and said, "Maybe the person she's going to meet is important."

Her coming to Anne's defense made Valentina even more infuriated. "What is more important than family?"

Liam appreciated Rose's thoughtfulness and said dismissively, "Let her be. I know what's going on with her. Since we're a family, I think it's unnecessary for you to be too strict with her. Tolerance is the key to make things work."

He turned to Rose and said, "Your mother wasn't as angry when you didn’t come home. You have to persuade her to not be too riled up. No matter what happens, Anne is part of our family. You are not biologically related to her, but you shouldn’t treat her differently."

Liam stood up after finishing his words, and Valentina flushed red as she was even more furious.

"What do you mean? Haven't I done enough?" said Valentina as her face was painted with obscurity.

"Mom, do you think that just because Anne returned, Dad will care less for us?" Sensing the overflowing care for Anne, Rose felt jealous of the attention.

Valentina snorted and said, "Don't worry, he won't. I am the heir of the Xiao family. I won't allow such a terrible thing to happen."

In the Greenlight Forest.

the soft piano music made Anne feel tranquility. Her hand held a cup of coffee as she looked out of the window where a myriad of droplets slid down like teardrops. The weather was calm as she reflected on her thoughts.

"Anne, I heard that the chairman of the L Group is your biological father?" asked Emily with a hint of envy under her tone.
