Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 253

However, it didn't take long for Rose to realize how absurd her own excuses were.

"So, where are you planning on going? I will drop you, lest your parents blame that on you," Sam said.

"No, thanks. My family will send a car to pick me up," Rose said.

But when she saw the worry that marred Sam's face, she added, "My parents love me very much, so they won't blame me."

She was confident about it. But she knew that Valentina would hold a grudge against Anne, and that didn't sit well with her.

"That's good." Sam felt relieved and left.

The sun was at its peak at East Mountain Villa as it welcomed the bright noon.

Lush trees filled the horizon, giving it a peaceful and relaxing look. Yet, Kevin found relaxing difficult now.

When a closed door entered Kevin's sight, he couldn't help but take a long pause. He was nervous and afraid even. He feared that Anne might refuse to forgive him.

After an eternal long pause, he went in.

It was serene inside. The servants were having a break, and thus the quiet sustained.

So, Eddy's laughter cute voice was particularly resounding in this quiet, and that assured him the Anne was here.

He pushed the door open and entered. As he expected, Anne was there. She looked relaxed as she played with Eddy. A serene smile on her lips was all it took to please Kevin.

"Anne, I'm sorry." Kevin lowered his head and looked at Anne seriously. Yet, Anne treated him like air.

"You don't have to apologize. I don't want to see you," Anne said.

In fact, Anne was happy that Kevin hadn't married, but she also knew that she couldn't let him off easily. She couldn't allow him to think that she was an easy target to bully.

Kevin had crushed her heart a little too many times now. She felt if she forgave him so readily, she might not be able to forgive herself.

"I love you; I know that you love me too. In this entire world, there is only one person I want to marry, and that's you. Come with me, and I will give you the grandest wedding possible in this world," Kevin pleaded.

However, his promises fell on deaf ears.

"No, I don't want to marry you. Give up! I don't care. Just marry whoever you like," Anne said in a frigid tone.

When Kevin heard Anne, he could help but be sad. His head dropped, and his eyes went red. That sight nearly went through Anne's defenses, but she calmed down soon.

"I won't give up unless I die. We still have a child. Did you forget? Eddy is our son. Do you have the heart to let him grow without a father?" Kevin reasoned.

Anne knew that Kevin was now tugging at her heartstrings. He was trying to gain sympathy using their child. After a pause, she indifferently replied, "I'm sure we can somehow work that out."

Hearing this, Kevin felt even more helpless. It seemed like it would take a long time of apologies for her forgiveness.

In the Luo Family's house.

The European-style furniture looked comfortable. Rose sat on the sofa, nibbling at some fruit.

The fruits were neatly arranged, and Rose was in a good mood. One wouldn't believe if they were told that she was the bride of an annulled wedding.

Sitting opposite to her was Valentina, bewildered by Rose's jovial mood.

"Rose, are you okay?" Valentina asked.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." A slight smile appeared on Rose's face, which in turn made Valentina even more worried.

"Rose, just vent it out if you feel bad. Don't hold it inside," Valentina comforted her.

"Mom, I've told you that I'm not unhappy. I'm fine, really," Rose said.

But Valentina looked at her as if she was a lunatic. This made Rose very depressed. And this, not the marriage problem, was able to dampen her happiness.

"You know what? We are going to the hospital. Bottling up sadness for a long term of time can cause clinical depression. I'm sure you can't feel anything right now because you are rejecting the truth but in the long run... Come see a doctor with me, or I would be worried about you forever," Valentina said.

Rose got angry.

"Mom! Why can't you just accept that I'm fine?" Rose was at a loss too. She could tell her that she didn't care about Kevin and actually liked Mark. However, if her mother heard this, she would tie her to a stretcher and drag her to a physiatrist.

"I'm going out for a walk," Rose said in anger.

When Valentina was about to stop her, Liam stepped in and said, "Leave her alone. Let her take a walk and clear her mind."

"Humph!" Valentina snorted and didn't say anything to Liam. She still believed that Anne had stolen her own daughter's husband.

Liam sighed, sat down, and drank his tea.

In the East Mountain Villa.

In the slightly cold night, the moon filled the villa with a milky brightness. The fens and petals did a gentle dance as they swayed with the wind and blocked some of the moon's brightness. Those shadows were the epitome of tranquility.

Anne was sitting in the yard and gazing at the moon. The moon passed through clouds and gave the villa an otherworldly glow.

Anne felt a little cold when the winds blew, but she didn't want to move. Kevin gently covered her with a blanket.
