Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 221 I Won't Allow It

In the old house of the Fu Family.

Rose sat in front of the vanity table, browsing her WeChat moments as she carefully applied a delicate face mask onto her skin.

At that moment, a knock came from her door. Quickly, she took of her mask and went to see who it was. Upon opening the door, she saw Selma's scornful face.

Seeing Rose's face still wet and unkempt, Selma let out a sigh. "Rose, you and Kevin have already been engaged. Yet why does it seem like you don't even care?"

The accusation took Rose aback as she blinked in surprise.

"Kevin is very busy with his work," Rose defended. "In fact, he might be in the middle of negotiating a contract right now. How can I disturb him at a time like this?"

Even though she said this, she really did not know what Kevin was doing as he wasn't so keen on telling her anything.

Narrowing her eyes, Selma crossed her arms over her chest. "Oh really? And how can you be so sure that that's what he's doing?" Selma frowned and said.

"What else would he be doing then?" Rose countered. In her eyes, she saw Kevin as a busy man devoted to his work.

Hearing this, Selma slightly raised an eyebrow at her. "If you must know, I found that Kevin had grown quite close to Anne," she said matter-of-factly. "Don't forget that I've agreed to your marriage with my son because I was hoping that you would take good care of him. You better live up to those expectations, and make sure he doesn't fall out of love with you."

'What?' Rose thought, her heart sinking at Selma's words. 'Was Kevin... really seeing Anne?'

The sweet smile on her face faded away as her eyes darkened. "Don't worry, mom," she said solemnly. "I'll make sure Kevin doesn't leave me."

"Good. Remember, it's all up to you. If you get hurt by the end of it, then it is no one's fault but yours." Then Selma left.

Slowly, Rose closed the door and went to sit back in front of her vanity table. There was a restlessness stirring in her heart as she gazed upon her reflection.

'Anne better not get too comfortable with my man. I won't allow it.'

All this time, she didn't think that anything was wrong with her relationship with Kevin. As long as Kevin still came home to her, she couldn't care less about what other people said.

In the AN Group.

It was office hours, and everyone set about with their tasks in a disciplined and orderly manner.

Rose had decided to pay Kevin a little visit. For the occasion, she decided to dress up with a white gauze dress and a thick, mink coat. Everything about her exhumed beauty and luxury.

"Stop. What is your business here?" the security guard at the door asked.

Before Rose could say anything, he recognized her at the next second and bowed his head. "Apologies, Mrs. Rose. Please, come right in."

With a small smile, Rose walked in and went straight to the CEO's office.
