Attracted By My Ex-wife

The gentle-looking woman in the photograph was Anne's mother, and the child in her arms was Anne when she was a child.

Anne was surprised to find the picture after all this time. She remembered that she couldn't find it when she had left and thought that it had already been lost. And yet, after so many years, here it was.

Kevin stood in front of the photo with a silence that was almost solemn. After a long moment, he said to Anne, "You look like your mother."

Anne had not only her mother's beauty, but also her temperament. Kevin had almost felt as if he knew the woman in the picture.

"Not really. My mother was kind and gently to everyone, but I'm not. I'm always a little too brash and cold," Anne answered with a small chuckle at his remark. She looked up and was surprised to see Kevin gazing at her.

"Whatever you are, you are always exceptional. The only one ever," Kevin held her hand and said, his eyes deep and sincere.

The next moment, he took out a ring box. There were four rings inside.

"Your mother is also here today, and it would be my greatest honor to ask for your hand in front of her. Anne, I want to marry you. We will take care of our children together and grow old by each other's side."

This time, Kevin had no grand words. He didn't feel like embellishing his words. All he offered her was his utmost sincerity.

And it was not like the other times for Anne. She was not caught off guard, or swept off her feet by surprise. There were no intense, all-consuming emotions that threatened to drown her—there was only a quiet certainty. Kevin's words sounded sweeter than any others she had heard before.

Her heart was at peace, and she whole-heartedly believed him.

Anne nodded slowly. "Okay, let's get married," she said with a small smile. They had gone through so much already, and she knew that Kevin meant his every word.

Before coming here, Kevin already had a hunch that Anne would finally agree, but nothing compared to the reality of her acceptance. In one of the rarest times in his life, Kevin found himself speechless.

"Kevin, what's wrong?" After a stretch of time and he still hadn't said anything, Anne looked at him in confusion.

"No…I..." Kevin fumbled for words. A grin broke through his face and lit up his eyes. He shook his head and finally managed to pull together his words. "I'm alright. I'm probably just too happy."

He looked at her with such warmth that Anne felt immensely touched. Her answer had mattered that much to him. She held his hand gently and smiled.

"I'll make preparations for the wedding right away. After you give birth to our baby and recover, we'll have the ceremony, okay?" Kevin said.

"A simple wedding would be fine. Let's not make things too complicated. It's just a formality anyway," Anne reminded him.
