Attracted By My Ex-wife

Time always passed by quickly whenever Anne was with Emily. Before she even knew it, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"Emily, I'm going back now," Anne said as she glanced at the rain outside of the coffee shop.

Emily smile back at her. "If that's the case, let me drive you back home. I want to see your new home as well."

Emily was looking forward to seeing the Luo Family but after seeing Anne's expression, she suddenly felt that she had asked the wrong question.

"Oh, uhm… I have something else going on right now, maybe next time?" Emily tried to keep a smile but it looked off, forced, and awkward.

At that moment, she wished to beat herself up because of shame. Even though Anne had returned, she must have felt bad about the whole thing.

"Well, if you ever get more free time, I'll take you there,"

Anne replied.

She could feel that Valentina wasn't really friendly to her. She acted politely to her only because she hadn't done anything wrong to offend her so far.

She had lost control of her right eyelid, which now proceeded to keep on twitching on its own. She had a bad feeling that something big was about to happen.

In the Luo Family.

The rain fell on the Luo Family's house. The rainwater on the ground reflected the bright lamplights.

After leaving Emily, Anne decided to take a stroll outside for a while to calm her head. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when she arrived home.

In the torrential downpour, the entire house was lit up brightly, dispelling the darkness of the night.

Anne entered the house and changed into her slippers. Then she saw Valentina and Liam sitting on the sofa.

Liam wanted to say something to her but stopped himself. At the same time, Valentina was trying to hide her anger and annoyance.

"Oh wow, so now you come back. Do you know how long we've been waiting for you?" Valentina was about to burst.

"You didn't have to wait for me." She knew deep down that Valentina was about to teach her a lesson.

"We're supposed to be asleep right now, but the whole family is awake and waiting for you. Anne, whatever happens, you must come back before nine o'clock. That's the rule," Valentina said.

Liam finally interjected, "There are some exceptions, of course."

Sometimes, Rose would come back a little bit late but Valentina wouldn't react this bad.

"Of course, there are exceptions. But if you tell her that now, will she use it as an excuse in the future? Now that she's back home, I'll treat her like a daughter of mine. Is it too much to ask?" Valentina replied.

Liam wasn't able to formulate a counter-argument. Although whatever Valentina had said was hurtful, it actually made sense.
