Attracted By My Ex-wife

It was a golden day with filtered sunlight that sharply contrasted Anne's mood.

She walked under the vivid blue sky with a blank look on her face. Her headache still hadn't completely gone away as the breeze blew on a few strands of her hair.

It was getting chillier as the wind continued to shift. The sun might have been up but her hands were cold.

When she arrived at the East Mountain Villa, she stood outside for a long time, not going in.

As she kept her gaze frontwards, her forehead puckered.

She wasn't welcome here and it was not like she wanted to be here either. A bitter smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. Why didn't she just learn that there was no use trying to force something that wasn't meant for her?

"Miss Anne, why don't you go in?" the servant asked upon opening the door and spotting Anne standing outside.

"Okay." Without another word, Anne walked inside the villa.

She looked around for Eddy but she couldn't find him.

She searched every corner but it seemed that he was nowhere to be found. Sneering, she muttered to herself, "How heartless of you, Kevin."

With that, she left the East Mountain Villa. She ignored the servant calling her from behind.

If Eddy wasn't here, there was no reason for her to be here. It was just a house—not a home.

When two hours had passed, Kevin arrived at the villa. The first thing he noticed was that Anne wasn't there.

"Mr. Kevin, Miss Anne is not here. She went out," the servant blurted out.

Kevin's face transformed as he visibly tried to restrain himself. He barked, "Where did she go?"

"I don't know," the servant stammered in fear.

Kevin made his way to the couch, propping his forehead on his palms. His head was throbbing. Yesterday, Anne didn't come home. Today, she left before he came back. What was she doing?

"Anne, why did you leave?" He balled his hand into a fist as he slammed it on the table with great force, the table shaking from the impact.

Meanwhile, the Well Hotel was generously lit—the place was serene and warm.

The atmosphere almost made Anne forget about the despair that dominated her heart.

She had boiled water in her room for some warmth. She cupped the glass of hot water in her hands, relishing the heat.

She had opened the windows so she could enjoy the lovely night view outside.

It looked beautiful and melancholic.

Her soft curls shone in the faint light.
