Attracted By My Ex-wife

Kevin let out a long-winded, heavy sigh. He took Anne by the hand, and sat with her on the couch. He wearily took a sip of water.

When it came down to the brass tax, what Cherry had said was completely true. Once upon a time, he was madly in love with Cherry. He could not refute this fact.

But hearing these words come out of her mouth incensed him almost to a point where he could not control himself.

He was livid with himself for the fact that he once loved her. It was an embarrassment.

That being his current mood, he had to admit that love was something inexplicable. He could not deny that once he had loved her deeply. Even though he didn't have that feeling for her any longer, being in love at one point should be a good memory.

Cherry had turned this beautiful sentiment into something utterly repulsive.

He wondered how he had been so blind to have fallen in love with someone of her caliber.

He lowered his head and peered at Anne. He tightened his grip on her hand for just a moment, in an attempt to show some comfort.

"Listen, don't let your anger get the better of you, okay?" Anne tried to appease Kevin with gentle words, as she held his hand in hers.

Kevin nodded in response, and added, "Don't worry. I am in control."

That being said, Kevin lowered his head, feeling extremely disheartened.

Anne smiled, trying to hide the fact that she knew what had happened had a great effect on Kevin. Nonetheless, she was indignant at what Cherry had just had the nerve to say.

Although Cherry had slept with many people to further her career, she still had a right to her dignity. What Alan had done had truly degraded her beyond recovery.

"This time, Alan has crossed the line," said Anne after a lengthy and piercing silence.

As a woman herself, she could understand where Cherry was coming from.

Kevin looked at Anne, who looked up back at him with a small smile of comfort.

Crease lines appeared on Kevin's forehead. It had not been easy for Anne and him to finally get the peaceful life they enjoyed now. He did not want to put this peace and happiness in jeopardy, or potentially place his family in danger. He did not want to have any dealings with Alan or Cherry.

'I will I get mixed up in their problems if I try to persuade Alan in this case. Alan won't stick to our agreement, ' Kevin thought despondently.

He was not afraid of Alan in the least bit. Worst case scenario, Kevin could arrange for Alan to be sent overseas again. He just did not want any involvement in this matter.

After all, this issue was not related to him or his family in any direct way whatsoever.

'The less drama, the better.' Perhaps Kevin had become accustomed to the peaceful way of life.

Anne knew what Kevin was thinking. Truth be told, she was equally as apprehensive regarding involving themselves in this matter.
