Attracted By My Ex-wife

He looked at Anne's eyes and took it as her love for Ryan.

Eyes immediately shifted towards him as soon as he spoke. They watched him closely, listening to every word he said.

"Mr. Alan?" Emily called him first, getting his attention.

Alan stood not far away from her. He was wearing a white suit, making him look very neat and elegant like a model. The way he carried himself made him stand out much easier. Having been raised by a rich family, he had learned to be a gentleman since he was a child. He was trained to act properly in front of many people and he had done so throughout the years.

However, being born a playboy, he was naturally arrogant and unrestrained. His slanting eyes slightly raised, gleaming with irony and contempt. His gaze seemed to burn a hole through Anne as if he was looking at a disgusting rubbish.

There was no question that he was being rude to her, disregarding her feelings. In return, Anne never gave him a friendly look either.

They didn't like each other and this was evident in the way the cold expression returned to Anne's face.

She knew that Alan didn't like her all along and that they wouldn't get along. She didn't expect him to be friendly to her at that moment, but she didn't know that he could be this rude.

As expected, Alan didn't disappoint her. He looked at her with more irony and playfulness on his face and asked, "What? Is Mrs. Anne going to kill me to keep the secret?"

At this time, Ryan stood up from the chair calmly, smiling sheepishly. He said as he looked at Alan, "Mr. Alan, if I'm not mistaken, you're a friend of Kevin's. Are you dissatisfied with Mr. Kevin or do you have any issues with Mrs. Anne?"

Taking his time, he kicked the ball towards Alan.

Alan saw this as a challenge and didn't like it. His eyes immediately turned cold as he looked back at Ryan. He was dressed in a white suit, looking like a prince who had just walked out of a fairy tale. He looked so graceful, that no one would doubt that he was a gentleman from his appearance. However, his inner self-restraint was nothing like that of a prince.

His eyes were distant and as cold as ice. His facial expression was out of the ordinary. He was still disgusted with Anne and he had no plan on hiding it.

He said with a voice so cold, "Kevin and I are friends. What I don't like is Anne's shameless behavior!" He didn't even want to be elegant, that was for sure. It was evident in the way he spoke of her. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Mrs. Anne, if you don't want to care about your image, just consider Mr. Kevin's. Your actions reflect your husband. After all, he is a public figure who had been on the cover of Global People for three times which is known by hundreds of millions of people. While his wife cheated on him..."

"That's enough, Alan!" Although he said that he was Kevin's friend, he humiliated his wife in public. Hearing this made Kevin furious.

Half an hour ago, he called Emily to ask where they were going. When he knew that they were going to the Greenlight Forest, he could no longer sit still. He tried to hold himself together as best he could.

Although he didn't know what kind of friend Anne came to see, he knew that she had no friend. So this made him uneasy, thinking about his wife.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the Greenlight Forest, he saw Ryan. His anger flared up. He took deep breaths to calm himself and it took most of his energy to do so.

But what Alan said made him angrier, releasing all the composure he tried so hard to keep. He didn't like what he heard and he was clear about that. He shouted coldly, his voice ringing in their ears.

"It is not your place to teach her a lesson!" he shouted.

With a sharp look on his face, almost murderous, Kevin walked up to Anne and stood beside her.

Emily watched from a distance. She saw that Kevin was not simply beside Anne. He was standing slightly in front of her. His stance looked as if he was protecting her.
