Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 229

"Are you alright, Anne?" Ian was in a meeting that time but when he had learned that Anne already went to see Ryan, on top of being familiar with Ryan's recent actions, he immediately dismissed the meeting to look for Anne.

However, he didn't expect that the moment he saw Anne, his heart suddenly felt heavy and everything outside couldn't arouse her interest.

"You can go out first. I just want to be alone right now," Anne replied in a heavy voice.

"Ryan is a scheming man." Ian frowned as he had remembered the things that Ryan had done.

"I'm really fine. It's just not a big deal for me," Anne said calmly.

"Anne. Please. Let's get married," Ian suddenly said with seriousness in his tone.

For the first time, Anne didn't know how to respond to him. She looked at his face, trying to read it if he was just joking or he was genuine with his proposal.

"Let's get married. I know now's not the right time for stuff like that but I don't know if I'll ever get the opportunity to ask you that. When I came back, you're already married to someone else. But if that man can't make you happy, I hope to be the one who can."

His expression never changed the entire time he spoke because he knew that even if he was wrong, he was still willing to stick to his own ideas and keep Anne happy.

He loved her so much. When he heard she was in trouble back home, he came back immediately without even thinking.

He never even planned this. He proposed to her on the spur of the moment.

"What are you talking about?" Anne looked at him puzzled.

"I said I love you so much, even from the first time I met you. I want to be with you, not because I want to use you to oppose Kevin, but because I know that you're the only one that I want to be with." He finally spoke what he truly felt to her. It was also a way to help her solve her problems.

"Ian… I-I'm sorry. You're a good man and you shouldn't give up your own life just for me. You deserve to be with someone better," Anne replied. Her tone felt unnatural.

"Sure, you may think that way but I know deep down that you're already the best, Anne. I want you to be happy. I hope that I could protect you for the rest of my life. You don't have to rush this and refuse me in a hurry. If you ever felt this is troublesome, you don't have to hesitate. Letting you be happy is already my greatest wish."

With nothing else to say, Ian stood up and finally left the hotel. She sighed and looked at his lonely receding figure as he walked away.

Meanwhile, in the Fu Family's house.

The entire estate was ghost-quiet.

Rose sat on the rattan swing as she stared outside with melancholy.

"Mrs. Rose, it's time for dinner. Shall we go back to the living room?" the servant said to her respectfully.

Rose looked at the servant with forlorn eyes. "I don't want to eat. Please leave me for now."

"But the food will be cold soon. You better eat something, or else Mrs. Selma would be worried." The servants were all concerned.

Even though that Rose was only engaged to Kevin and not yet married, everyone was already treating her as if she was his actual wife.

"It's alright, you can leave now." Rose was getting a bit annoyed but she never showed her frustrations.

Although she had been taken good care by the Fu Family, she couldn't even see Kevin for most of the time. The last time she saw him, he left in such a hurry.

"All right."

After the servants had left, Rose looked outside of the window again and went back to her sad demeanor. At that moment, she started to reconsider whether it was really wrong for her to continue her marriage with Kevin.

However, there were mistakes. Once she made a mistake, would she have the chance to go back and fix it?

She felt powerless and annoyed at her current predicament, making her consider going out regardless of what the servants said. She got into her car and left.

The road outside was barren. The setting sun intersected with the land in the horizon, giving her a sense of desolation.

Rose turned the steering wheel steadily and looked straight ahead of the road. She felt a little happy once she left the Fu Family's house. But, if Kevin was there, it would have been a different story.

"Why did you do this to me, Kevin?" Rose said in a sad tone.

She stopped the car at the side of the road. The only person there at the time was her. The setting sun and the inevitable night accompanied her.

The end of the highway was already on the other side. There, the driver was focused on the road while Trey and Mark were both sitting on the back of the vehicle.

"Trey, thanks for Ian, our problems are solved this time. What he's doing is like magic. He could flip the situation in just a short time," Mark said as Trey attentively listened.

In fact, Anne was the one who they should be thanking for. Without her, perhaps Ian wouldn't be able to come back at all.

"Well, he's really capable." Trey finally shifted his attention to the moving scenery outside.

After what transpired last time, the M Group could already consider themselves as the survivor of a disaster. After a period of struggles, the two brothers were finally getting back on their feet.

Outside, the world felt distant, empty, and desolate but it made them feel a bit more relaxed. Looking at the setting sun upon them, Trey gave a side face to Mark.

"Hey, wait a minute… Isn't that Kevin's new wife?" Trey asked them with uncertainty.

He wasn't one hundred percent sure as he only met Rose once.
