Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 252 Missing The Wedding

Hearing Mark, Anne couldn't help but frown. She felt that he was being a little too nosy. Then again, it was his territory, so she had nowhere else to go.

The paparazzi would definitely photograph her if she went out now. Those tabloids would report how heartbroken she was and how happy Kevin and Rode were. Although she couldn't care less about those tabloids, the factor of annoyance was always there.

When Mark handed Anne the iPad, she couldn't help but get surprised by Kevin's bloodshot eyes.

W-was he sad? No. That was ridiculous. Kevin was about to get married. If his eyes were bloodshot, that could only be because of happiness. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I know Anne may not be able to see this now. But I just want to tell her that it is all for her. If she is willing to come back, I will do this for her again. If I were to ever marry, it would be with her. I only want Anne as my bride." After finishing his piece, Kevin smiled. The pain and loneliness were somehow apparent in that smile.

Kevin's emotional confession was like a hammer that kept striking Anne's heart.

Anne was in turmoil. She now understood why he had told her to wait for him. It turned out that he had prepared everything. But why didn't Kevin tell her earlier? Why did he make her think that he was going to marry someone else? And just when she was about to accept her fate, he went on and said something like this.

Anne's heart was on an emotional rollercoaster, which just wouldn't calm down.

"Anne, are you okay?" Mark panicked when he saw Anne slumping down on the floor and placing her head between her knees.

When he helped her up, he was both stunned and surprised. Anne's face was filled with tears, but there was a smile on her lips, a happy smile.

"I'm fine. I am just at a loss. I don't know how to express my emotions now."

Hearing Anne's reply, Mark sighed but didn't know what to say.

On the spacious roads of A city, cars raced past the high rise buildings. The buildings reflected the light and resembled white columns of light. The city had a futuristic feel to it.

Sam drove with a gloomy expression. He was frustrated because he had no idea where Anne was.

If a person decided to hide in A City, there was no way that anyone else could find them.

Just when he was feeling at a loss, his phone rang.

It was a call from Mark. He answered with a deadpan expression, but within moments it turned into an excited smile.

"Anne's with you? Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Sam breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't ask Kevin to come out. If Kevin found out that Anne was in Mark's house on the day of their marriage, the entire A City would be in an upheaval.

Twenty minutes later, Sam arrived at the Mu Family's house.

The moment he opened the door, an incredibly stunning sight appeared in front of him. There sat Anne on the balcony as the bright sunlight gently rolled off her smooth skin.

He walked over and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back."

Anne looked up at him. By now, she had gained a little control over her emotions. "Where are you taking me?"

"Kevin's house, of course. Don't you know that the Fu Family has been in an uproar because of your absence? They still can't believe that Kevin had done so much in secret and with a dead set mind at that."

Anne lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"He knew that the Luo Family would get angry, but he told everyone that you were the daughter of the Luo Family. And to save face, the Luo Family won't give you a hard time. Moreover, he knew that Rose liked Mark very much. But Kevin wanted to teach Rose a lesson as she was hindering your marriage. So, he pretended to like Rose."

After saying that, Sam helped Anne up and said, "Let's go back. Everyone is waiting for you to put an end to this charade."

With a slight smile, Anne said, "Well, the matter between him and Rose has been settled, but the matter between us hasn't been settled yet."

After saying that, she raised her eyes, which were full of stubbornness.

Sam's heart skipped a beat. "Then what are you going to do?"

"Actually, I don't want to do anything. I don't even want to marry Kevin." There was always a hurdle in Anne's heart, which she just couldn't get past.

"I have no idea what you are trying to say; you have to come with me. I'll bring you to the East Mountain Villa and finish my part. And you don't want Mark to get in trouble, do you?" Sam said half- jokingly.

After thinking for a while, Anne said, "Okay."

The wedding in the Fu Family's house had been going on for two hours.

Some of the guests had already left while some were still at the banquet. Rose was sulking alone in the corner.

Kevin sat in the shadows, his face still full of noble arrogance.

After staring at Kevin for what seemed like an eternity, Rose could no longer bear it and walked to him. "Kevin! You've gone too far."

"Yes. I did go a little too far. But what about you? You pretended to be pregnant just to destroy my relationship with Anne. And you even faked a miscarriage. If you ask me, you should be punished even more severely," Kevin said without a care.

"Since you weren't going to marry me, why did you take me to choose a wedding dress? And when the dress didn't suit me, you even ordered a custom-made dress for me. You are too crafty. It's a pity that you are not an actor." Although Rose didn't like Kevin and didn't actually mind the anticlimactic ending of their "wedding," what he did to her still stung a lot.

Kevin was in no mood for debate. So he rudely replied,

"That's Anne's wedding dress. It's her size. And I took you to choose a bridesmaid's dress. You are her sister. What's wrong with you being her bridesmaid?"

Rose couldn't help but burst out in laughter when she heard Kevin's petulant reply.

"Then you could have just told me about it. I could have even helped you. You don't know this; I was so anxious that I was just about to run away," Rose said in anger.

"I just wanted to give you a hard time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone through so much trouble." At a distance, the guests left one by one in a discreet manner. Watching them, Kevin made up his mind to hold an even grander ceremony once he found Anne.

"Humph! You deserve this, Kevin. I admit that I wronged Anne. I shouldn't have lied to you just to make Anne sad. But in return, I was tricked by you and received my due punishment. Now it's your turn to receive the punishment. Anne believes that you like me and left you."

Kevin clenched his fists and said, "Rose, get out of my sight in three seconds. Otherwise, the Luo Family will go bankrupt."

Rose was shocked, but she quickly regained her composure. She sneered and said, "Who would believe you? Anne has a stake in our family, so there is no way that you will indirectly hurt her."

"Then I'll send all the share I take from your family to Anne, as my gift of apology." Hearing Kevin's reply, Rose rolled her eyes and left directly.

She was sure that Kevin, this wife spoiler, would make her life miserable if she went against his wife. Fortunately, she no longer desired him. Otherwise, he would have used every tool in his arsenal, which happened to be quite enormous, just to get back at her.

Kevin lowered his head, lost in thought. His hairs flailed madly and with vigor, but his back looked ever so lonely.

When Sam came back, he went straight to Kevin.

Seeing Kevin's misery, Sam walked over and said, "I've found Anne."

Hearing this, Kevin immediately raised his head and asked, "Where is she?"

Instantly, he stood up and stared at Sam anxiously.

"She's in the East Mountain Villa, but you'd better not go there for at least two days. Although you haven't married Rose, she is still angry and doesn't want to see you." Sam was clearly gloating.

"Leave me alone. And... Thank you." After saying that, Kevin left the Fu Family's house and decided to go see Anne.

It was rare to see Kevin lose control over his emotions. With a mysterious smile on his face, Sam decided to see the frustrated woman—Rose.

In the wedding room, the bed was covered with a red quilt. And for good luck, it was covered with walnuts.

Rose was packing her stuff as it was time to leave the Fu Family's house. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

She stopped and looked back. The door was not closed, so she could see Sam elegantly standing at the door.

"Come in. The door is open. Why are you knocking at the door?" Rose was in a good mood as it wasn't all that affected by Kevin.

"I thought you would be in a bad mood and decided to cheer you up," Sam said with a smile.

With a shy smile, Rose replied, "Of course not. Actually, I no longer like Kevin, so I'm quite happy that this marriage didn't go through. But the trick that guy pulled still annoys me to no end. But it doesn't matter. Everything's okay now."

Sam smiled when he confirmed that Rose wasn't sad. "That's good."

"I heard that you went to look for Anne. Have you found her?" Rose asked.

"Yes. But I have to say, the young master of the Mu Family sure is bold."

Hearing this, Rose suddenly felt a little worried. She asked, "Is it, Mark?"

When Mark was brought into the conversation, Rose become excided and bashful at the same time. Seeing her expression, Sam understood a lot.

He smiled and said, "Yes, it seems like Mark cares a lot about Anne. When Anne and Kevin were on bad terms, Mark comforted her."

"I see." Rose's heart sank. Why was it that every man she liked was a fanboy of Anne?

"Why does he treat Anne so well? Is it because he likes her too?" When Rose asked this question, for some reason, her heart ached.

"I don't know. But I think the one Anne likes is Kevin. Do you like Mark?" Sam asked all of a sudden.

"N-no, no. I was just asking for..." Rose's face turned red when she heard his question. He saw through her, and it embarrassed her. She tried to give reasons, but Sam was already in the know.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you like Mark. But you must not act rashly, or he will dislike you. Maybe there is nothing between Anne and Mark and they just work together."

"I see. Thank you," Rose said.
