Attracted By My Ex-wife

The rain fell down and the wind blew, catching hair, raincoats, anything it could. The yellow leaves on the ground were covered in raindrops, but the air was as fresh as ever.

Standing alone beside the tombstone, Anne looked at the young smiling face in the photo and her spirits sank.

"Mom, you know what? No matter how long you have left, I won't feel scared if I hold your memory in my heart."

With a gentle smile, Anne reached out her hand to touch the photo.

"But Eddy's sick. I don't know if you can hear me, but can you protect him and help him get better? That's really the only problem I have."

She squatted down and stared at the tombstone, her hands weak.

The rain stopped for a moment, and sun began to break through the clouds. Soon enough, the rain started up again. She opened the umbrella and prepared to leave the cemetery. She stopped when she heard a hesitant voice.

"Miss Anne?" Turning her head to figure out who it was, she got a nice surprise.

It was the man who saved her a few days ago. "Hello," she said.

"Here to see someone important?" Mark asked.

Anne nodded. "What about you?"

"A friend of my dad's. My father's busy, so he asked me to come see him." He smiled gently.

"Okay."

"I don't know if you remember me. Mark Mu. Nice to meet you." Mark recalled when he met Anne last time, she had been lost in thought. They hadn't had much of a chance to talk.

"I don't mean to get too personal, Mr. Mu, but how do you know Trey?" asked Anne. The question had been bugging her for a while. "He's my brother, but we couldn't be more different." He paused, trying to figure how to explain.

"Trey always puts his career first. I don't like to be tied down. So my family says he's the good son, and I'm the one who can't be tamed," Mark explained. But Anne had a different take on it.

She liked Mark a lot more than Trey.

"Opinions are like belly buttons. Everyone has one. If you'll excuse me, I have things to do." After saying that, Anne started to walk away.

But Mark stopped her, trying to continue their conversation. "Miss Anne, you seem to have something on your mind. Just tell me. Maybe I could help."

His voice was sincere. Anne stopped and turned around. She said indifferently, "No one can solve my problem. Mr. Mark, I'm sorry. You're a good guy, but I don't know you well."

He stared at her. The transparent umbrella was wet, and he could see her damp hair through it, though it was quite blurry. She looked like a haunted soul.

He was considerate, so he didn't want to get too personal. "It's raining, and the road's pretty slick. Be careful, Miss Anne."
