Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 342

"Ha-ha..." All of a sudden, Anne burst into laughter. She was looking at Ryan with bright eyes and covering her mouth.

Seeing her like this took him aback and confused him.

'What the heck did she mean?' he thought to himself.

Anne stood up and held her forehead helplessly. She flipped her hair, exposing the scar on her forehead.

"I had a dream yesterday. In the dream, you told me that you were dead and gone in this world, and the person who was standing in front of me was a mere substitute.

Just as you said, the incident made you forget some things. But what you forgot was enough to make others confused, so I couldn't help but test you again." She stepped closer to him and stared straight in his eyes.

She was standing so close to him that she noticed that his eyes were deep and bright; so close that she could already see her reflection in his pupils.

"Ryan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have played such a joke on you. I really..." Anne lowered his head slowly, feeling cold-hearted deep inside even though she was apologizing.

She had to admit that she had failed again. This man in front of her wouldn't admit his real identity so easily.

'A dream?'

Ryan frowned at her words. He felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.

He didn't know what was going on behind this. He had her trust all this time, but suddenly, she changed.

But, for him, what happened was only as good as a hunch or a gut feeling.

He let out a deep sigh. For the sake of the property, he knew he couldn't show anything wrong.

Anne was not alone. Kevin was behind her to help her. They were both so observant that he didn't dare to be careless.

"Anne..." He was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh. "It's just an inexplicable dream. How could you test me like this? It really makes me..."

"Ryan." Anne did not even let him finish his sentence. She gave out a heavy sigh, looked at Ryan very intently, and said, "I don't know how many times I have been used over the years. I'm really afraid and simply tired of it. I don't want to experience such a thing again!

Not only in the past, but also even just a few days ago. We had been through the life-and-death situation together. Although you can't resist either, you still tried your best to protect me, and for that, I am really grateful.

"No matter what happens, nothing could ever change that fact. I thank you for it, so I'm more afraid that you are going to use me!"

Anne said with all sincerity.

Ryan was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to say such things.

However, he kept warning himself internally,

'I can't take risks. I really can't take risks. Only with this identity can I get the property!'

For so long, he had seen through Anne and understood that if he didn't make her believe he was Ryan, she would never hand over the property to him in any case. If this happened, in the end, the efforts he spent for it would just be wasted.

And more than that, there was also the threat by Kim lurking behind him!

Therefore, he had no choice but to take action.

"Well, Anne, let me tell you. I am really Ryan. I am the same Ryan who will always protect you whenever you are in danger. So please stop suspecting me anymore. I really..." He stepped forward and suddenly held Anne in his arms, hiding his bewildering gaze.

The sudden embrace made her a little nervous. Her body stiffened a little, but she smiled and hugged Ryan back.

She had given him a chance, yet he decided not to take it. Thus, she had no choice but to stop trusting him.

At first, Ryan actually thought that he could get the property smoothly as long as he asked her about it, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such problems again. So, when he left, he then made up his mind to never make any mistakes again because, now, it became clear to him that Anne wouldn't give him the property so easily.

He knew that Anne just told him about the dream because she and Kevin had already been suspecting him. Otherwise, they would have easily given him back the property because they didn't really have any reason to keep it for themselves.

After all, Anne already had more than everything she wanted now.

Hence, he needed to find another way. He frowned and looked up at the sky. 'I wonder... what can I do to get the property?'

In the evening, when Kevin went home after work, he saw Anne sitting on the balcony so he walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead. He unintentionally saw the scar on her face and it distressed him, making him look at her with pitiful eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked in a low and gentle voice.

Anne raised her head. It wasn't until then did she realize that Kevin was back. She smiled at him and said, "Today, Ryan came to see me. I gave him a chance, but he still didn't tell me the truth. He also said that it was needed because something happened to the company."

He was a fox, so sooner or later, he would eventually expose his tail.

The "Ryan" that she had met today was nothing more than a fox with his tail exposed. That person had been an impostor all along, and now, did he come back to get what he had wanted?

"I will never let anyone else take away anything from what Ryan has left me. I am going to protect all his possessions the best I can." Holding his hand, Anne looked up at him with determination in her eyes.

Kevin sighed and sat next to her. He looked into her eyes and told her with a smile, "Anne, don't worry. Whatever it is that you want to do, I will gladly support it."

Therefore, whatever Anne wanted to protect, he would do everything to protect as well.

She nodded enthusiastically. Suddenly, she smiled and joked at him, "Hmm. Aren't you jealous of how I try my best to protect Ryan's property?"

Shaking his head, Kevin just smiled and pulled her into his arms, his eyes deep.

They had already gone through so many things in life. It would have been a waste if he hadn't known Anne very well, the way he did now. He could see through her which was why he knew that she was just saying these things but didn't actually mean it.

And so what if she did like Ryan? He was dead, after all. How could a dead man compete with a living one?

Anne simply wanted to remember Ryan, so he wouldn't do anything to stop her from reminiscing memories with him. Besides, Ryan lost his life for her.
