Attracted By My Ex-wife

When they finally went back home, it was very late. The children had fallen asleep in the car on the drive home.

Kevin and Anne gently carried them one at a time into the house and tucked them into their beds.

After washing up, Anne and Kevin also felt rather tired. The two of them held each other lovingly and fell asleep.

The next day, Anne received a call from Rose.

As of lately, Rose was in good health and had recovered well. She was not as sickly skinny as she had been before, having gained some healthy weight. It suited her, and she no longer looked horrible like she was all bones and bones.

Women loved to be beautiful. Seeing that she had slowly but surely recovered, Rose was very happy.

As a saying went, "Women dress up for their beholders." Looking at how far she had come in respect of her figure, Rose wanted to buy some new clothes. She thought Anne would be great company on her shopping spree.

There was nothing pressing left to do at home so Anne decided to accompany her. Emily also enjoyed being in Anne's company so when Anne told her of her plans, Emily decided to go along with her to the mall.

Emily was also quite curious about Rose's change in attitude. She didn't know who Rose was anymore, such was the drastic change in her behavior. Emily thought she would go shopping to ascertain whether or not this was a genuine change, for herself.

Rose was no longer as rash and impulsive as she used to be. She sat calmly on the bed, flipping through a book in her hands.

Emily looked Rose up and down and raised her eyebrows.

Anne walked forward, knocking politely on the frame of the open door, to announce her presence. A smile appeared on Rose's face when she heard the knock. She saw Emily was there too, so she nodded in greeting.

"Isn't Mark here?" Looking around, Anne didn't see Mark and couldn't help asking.

Rose nodded and said, "I can't let him stay with me all the time. He has to go to work."

Anne nodded, but she disagreed, "Even though you have improved drastically, you are not in good health yet. It's better for Mark to stay here with you."

"Don't worry. The doctor said I'm recovering very well. I'll be discharged from the hospital shortly. Look, I've become a little more plump." As Rose spoke, she raised her arm and smiled helplessly.

In the past, Rose had been so focused on losing weight. But now she was so pleased that she had in fact gained weight.

Anorexia really was a terrible illness.

Nodding her head, Anne said with satisfaction, "You do look much better than the last time I saw you."

Rose nodded and looked at Emily, "Emily, I heard that you have fallen pregnant. Congratulations."

Emily was two months pregnant now. After hearing Rose congratulate her, Emily nodded with a smile but didn't say anything.

Rose's change in attitude and demeanour was quite unnerving. Emily could not adapt to this new Rose just yet.

Anne could sense what was going through Emily's head. She looked down at her watch, and said to Rose, "Time has gone so quickly! We'll have to get going."

Rose had already neatened and dressed up before the other two had arrived. She nodded, and went straight to the mall with them.
