Attracted By My Ex-wife

Cherry and Andrew returned home early after work.

Cherry had been restless ever since Alan moved to her place. She feared that the man had come with a plan and might do something to harm her. However, Alan did nothing so far; he behaved as if he had forgotten the past -- as if he didn't remember that Cherry had killed his sister.

The man's calm frightened her even more.

Perhaps this was the calm before the storm.

At the dinner table, Cherry ate in silence -- with her eyes fixed on the food. Andrew picked some vegetables and put them in her bowl.

Cherry lifted her head and looked at Andrew. Pity was written all over his face. "You have been working hard lately. Look at your frail body -- you have lost a lot of weight."

Cherry swallowed and smiled awkwardly. Just as she was about to take another bite of food, Alan spoke. "Andrew, don't get me wrong. But some people lose weight not because they work hard, but because of the fear of their secrets being exposed."

Cherry's body stiffened; the blood on her face drained in an instant. She frowned at Alan.

The man flashed a smile and continued to eat as if he meant no harm.

Andrew cast a disgusted glance at Alan. Observing him for the past few days had revealed that Alan was a bug living in Cherry's house that constantly bothered her.

His sarcastic words and snide remarks irked Andrew as well.

Moreover, he could see that Cherry hated him too. However, something stopped her from offending him or asking him to leave.

Andrew didn't know what it was.

After dinner, Cherry washed the dishes herself.

Andrew walked in and decided to help her. Alan continued to watch TV in the living room, keeping the volume high.

The blaring sound reverberated across the entire villa.

Both Andrew and Cherry had a busy schedule. They preferred resting after dinner.

However, Alan lived an entirely different life. He was used to sleeping in the day and watching TV at night, and with a high volume.

Although the room was soundproof, the noise vibrated across the floors and walls.

Andrew looked at Cherry concernedly. "Alan has never tried to keep a low profile while living here. Sooner or later, the reporters will find out about it. I think it would difficult to explain everything to them then."

Cherry paused for a moment before nodding.

Alan didn't bother concealing his identity when he entered or left the house.

She knew that people would discover him soon.

Cherry looked up at the ceiling and sighed. She felt like she was a prisoner in her own house.

"Let it be. I have no choice but to endure it." It was true; she had to deal with the man. There was no point complaining about it. She could neither eat nor sleep well in the past few days. Cherry had thought of countless ways to get rid of Alan.
