Attracted By My Ex-wife

"Are you serious? Doesn't it bother you even if it means that you will lose the woman you love?" Rose couldn't help but ask.

Listening to her question, Ian showed a bright smile and said, "Love cannot be forced. Rose, I'm well aware of what you are playing at. People won't be fooled again. So, I advise you—stop where you are!"

After saying that, Ian left the restaurant. Leaving behind a trembling Rose who couldn't calm herself down.

How did Ian know about her wrongdoings? Was he probing her? All these thoughts filled Rose's mind.

"No, there is no way that Kevin's in the know too," Rose said in a trembling voice, but her heart was still terrified.

Thinking about Kevin's meaningful look at her that day before he left the hospital, her heart began beating like crazy.

In a hurry, Rose knocked over her cup of coffee. From the edge of the table, the cup fell to her thigh, and instantly, hot coffee spilled out. All she felt was a searing sensation as the coffee burned her thigh.

"M-Miss, are you okay?" the waiter asked nervously.

"I'm fine, ah—" Rose's misfortune didn't end with just a burnt leg. The moment she tried to stand up with her trembling legs, she slipped on the now wet-with-coffee floor.

Watching as the situation turned grave with each passing second, the waiter said to his co-workers, "Help this lady. I'll go get the manager."

When the waiter found the manager, he saw a tall man talking with him. The man had dark hair, abyss black eyes, and a chiseled jawline. The waiter felt lost for a second when he saw the man.

"I'm in a meeting with the general manager! Didn't anyone stop you from coming in?" the manager said with clenched teeth and a taut face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. But a lady fell down outside, and I'm at a loss," the waiter said in a trembling voice.

All of a sudden, the manager's face darkened. Everything was going okay till just a moment ago. He was reporting the ongoings of the business to Mark, who kept on nodding as if satisfied. However, just when the meeting was about to end on a happy note, this waiter decided to come in and drop such news. How could the manager not be angry now?

"Let's go out and have a look," Mark said calmly.

He was faster than the manager. So when he walked out, he saw the lady who fell down sitting with her head hanging down.

Because her hair had covered her face, Mark was unable to see her face. But he could clearly see the red marks that marred her porcelain legs. They were scalded!

Seeing this, Mark said, "I'm sorry. I'll take you to the hospital."

As he spoke, he picked Rose up. She panicked when she felt someone picking her up, but after feeling the familiar breath, she calmed down and instinctively hugged Mark's neck.

She buried her face in Mark's arms and let go.

Mark was well aware of these little actions, but he knew that this was an emergency and he couldn't pay it much attention.
