Attracted By My Ex-wife

Was that the reason why Emily didn't call him either? He had thought about it when he was driving home.

Why didn't anyone call him when he had stood up Emily and his parents at the same time?

He thought he would receive a bunch of missed calls from Emily but he could not have been more mistaken.

She didn't even send him a message to ask where he was.

He had completely forgotten about their plans the entire time she was waiting for him. It was his fault.

"It's good that you understand." Lynne stood up and shot Sam a pitiful look. "Son, you're an adult now. You don't need to talk to us about everything. You should know better. If you didn't call us to cancel, you probably didn't call that girl either. She must have waited for you for a long time. You owe her an apology."

Sam lowered his head, not saying a word.

"Okay." After a long pause, he raised his head. "I know, mom. You should go back to bed."

"Good night." Lynne turned and left. Sam withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to his phone—staring at all his failed calls. That night, he didn't sleep a wink.

The following day, Emily got up early. She decided she was going to get some exercise to keep her spirits up.

She donned her sportswear as she headed to the garden to do some yoga. She inhaled the morning breeze, feeling refreshed. As she did yoga, she watched the servants trim the trees and do the gardening in the courtyard.

"Miss, why are you up so early today?"

Emily seemed to be in a good mood, a complete swerve from how she was yesterday which was utterly miserable. Needless to say, Amy was confused.

"Mrs. Wang, it's good for me to get up early, isn't it?"

Emily bent down, smiling playfully. Her eyes were still a little swollen as she had cried way too much last night. She might need to apply an ice bag later on.

"Of course, miss. You seem to be in a good mood."

Amy continued to trim the flowers and plants with a smile on her face. Emily continued doing yoga, seemingly relaxed.

She bent over, attempting to do a difficult pose. Suddenly, a pair of black shoes came into her sight.

She frowned as she looked up. It was Sam. She almost lost her balance the minute she saw him.

He immediately reached out to support her.

"Watch out!"

His voice was unusually gentle which startled Emily. When she collected herself, she straightened up and pushed him away.
