Attracted By My Ex-wife Chapter 342 Present And Future

"Ha-ha..." All of a sudden, Anne burst into laughter. She was looking at Ryan with bright eyes and
covering her mouth.

Seeing her like this took him aback and confused him.

'What the heck did she mean?' he thought to himself.

Anne stood up and held her forehead helplessly. She flipped her hair, exposing the scar on her
forehead.

"I had a dream yesterday. In the dream, you told me that you were dead and gone in this world, and the
person who was standing in front of me was a mere substitute.

Just as you said, the incident made you forget some things. But what you forgot was enough to make
others confused, so I couldn't help but test you again." She stepped closer to him and stared straight in
his eyes.

She was standing so close to him that she noticed that his eyes were deep and bright; so close that
she could already see her reflection in his pupils.

"Ryan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have played such a joke on you. I really..." Anne lowered his head slowly,
feeling cold-hearted deep inside even though she was apologizing.

She had to admit that she had failed again. This man in front of her wouldn't admit his real identity so
easily.

'A dream?'

Ryan frowned at her words. He felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.



He didn't know what was going on behind this. He had her trust all this time, but suddenly, she
changed.

But, for him, what happened was only as good as a hunch or a gut feeling.

He let out a deep sigh. For the sake of the property, he knew he couldn't show anything wrong.

Anne was not alone. Kevin was behind her to help her. They were both so observant that he didn't dare
to be careless.

"Anne..." He was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh. "It's just an inexplicable
dream. How could you test me like this? It really makes me..."

"Ryan." Anne did not even let him finish his sentence. She gave out a heavy sigh, looked at Ryan very
intently, and said, "I don't know how many times I have been used over the years. I'm really afraid and
simply tired of it. I don't want to experience such a thing again!

Not only in the past, but also even just a few days ago. We had been through the life-and-death
situation together. Although you can't resist either, you still tried your best to protect me, and for that, I
am really grateful.

"No matter what happens, nothing could ever change that fact. I thank you for it, so I'm more afraid that
you are going to use me!"

Anne said with all sincerity.

Ryan was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to say such things.

However, he kept warning himself internally,

'I can't take risks. I really can't take risks. Only with this identity can I get the property!'



For so long, he had seen through Anne and understood that if he didn't make her believe he was Ryan,
she would never hand over the property to him in any case. If this happened, in the end, the efforts he
spent for it would just be wasted.

And more than that, there was also the threat by Kim lurking behind him!

Therefore, he had no choice but to take action.

"Well, Anne, let me tell you. I am really Ryan. I am the same Ryan who will always protect you
whenever you are in danger. So please stop suspecting me anymore. I really..." He stepped forward
and suddenly held Anne in his arms, hiding his bewildering gaze.

The sudden embrace made her a little nervous. Her body stiffened a little, but she smiled and hugged
Ryan back.

She had given him a chance, yet he decided not to take it. Thus, she had no choice but to stop trusting
him.

At first, Ryan actually thought that he could get the property smoothly as long as he asked her about it,
but he didn't expect that he would encounter such problems again. So, when he left, he then made up
his mind to never make any mistakes again because, now, it became clear to him that Anne wouldn't
give him the property so easily.

He knew that Anne just told him about the dream because she and Kevin had already been suspecting
him. Otherwise, they would have easily given him back the property because they didn't really have
any reason to keep it for themselves.

After all, Anne already had more than everything she wanted now.



Hence, he needed to find another way. He frowned and looked up at the sky. 'I wonder... what can I do
to get the property?'

In the evening, when Kevin went home after work, he saw Anne sitting on the balcony so he walked
over to her and kissed her on the forehead. He unintentionally saw the scar on her face and it
distressed him, making him look at her with pitiful eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked in a low and gentle voice.

Anne raised her head. It wasn't until then did she realize that Kevin was back. She smiled at him and
said, "Today, Ryan came to see me. I gave him a chance, but he still didn't tell me the truth. He also
said that it was needed because something happened to the company."

He was a fox, so sooner or later, he would eventually expose his tail.

The "Ryan" that she had met today was nothing more than a fox with his tail exposed. That person had
been an impostor all along, and now, did he come back to get what he had wanted?

"I will never let anyone else take away anything from what Ryan has left me. I am going to protect all
his possessions the best I can." Holding his hand, Anne looked up at him with determination in her
eyes.

Kevin sighed and sat next to her. He looked into her eyes and told her with a smile, "Anne, don't worry.
Whatever it is that you want to do, I will gladly support it."

Therefore, whatever Anne wanted to protect, he would do everything to protect as well.

She nodded enthusiastically. Suddenly, she smiled and joked at him, "Hmm. Aren't you jealous of how I
try my best to protect Ryan's property?"

Shaking his head, Kevin just smiled and pulled her into his arms, his eyes deep.



They had already gone through so many things in life. It would have been a waste if he hadn't known
Anne very well, the way he did now. He could see through her which was why he knew that she was
just saying these things but didn't actually mean it.

And so what if she did like Ryan? He was dead, after all. How could a dead man compete with a living
one?

Anne simply wanted to remember Ryan, so he wouldn't do anything to stop her from reminiscing
memories with him. Besides, Ryan lost his life for her.

Not only did he not blame Ryan for his significance in Anne's heart, but also he was grateful for him
because without the sacrifice he made for the love of his life, how could they be happy now?

He couldn't see any reason why he shouldn't be generous to the man who saved his wife.

"Anne, I used to be too stupid in the past, but now I don't care about anything as long as we could be
together."

She was astonished when she turned around and heard Kevin say this. She knew clearly how
domineering and possessive Kevin used to be so, relatively, what he just said was shocking.

After everything that had happened, not only she had changed, but also him.

"Well, the past is past. What's most important now is our present and future." Kevin lowered his head
and brushed her hair away from her face.

His words moved her so she threw herself into his arms directly. What Kevin said was right. The past
was not important. The most important thing was that they could continue to be together in the future.

As long as they could be together, there would be no problem that they couldn't overcome. They could
face anything as long as they had each other.



They might have gone through a lot of obstacles before, but these hardships only strengthened the
love that they had for one another.

Still, she was grateful for the mishaps that they had in life because these helped them reach their
happiness at this moment.

"Kevin, have I told you before? I really love you. I love you so much," Anne whispered in his ear. Her
face gently rubbed against his.

This made his heart tremble. He hugged her tightly and said, "I love you more!"

Anne smiled. Yes, they loved each other, hence they would be happy together, right?

Kevin let go of her. Looking at her blushed face, he chuckled.

Selma took the children out to play and they all hadn't come back yet so now there were only the
couple alone in the house.

Since they had the house all to themselves, why wouldn't they just make the most of it?

Kevin stepped forward and kissed Anne.

Wrapping his neck with her arms, she didn't hide her enthusiasm at all. Their lips pressed tightly
together, both of them unwilling to separate ever again.

They wanted to be so happy with each other for the rest of their lives.

Kevin held Anne in his arms. At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening,
followed by Sally's laughter.

Hearing this, they instantly looked at each other and Anne jumped off Kevin immediately.



Selma came back with the children at this critical moment. What a great coincidence!

Anne lowered her head and tidied up her clothes at once, while Kevin looked over as soon as he
straightened up his clothes.

His mother was already upstairs with two children.

All of a sudden, Kevin's mood changed.

"Why are you still standing here? Go and take a shower." Anne's face turned red and pulled Kevin
beside her.

Kevin frowned. They didn't even get to undress themselves and, now, his mother was back. He was so
annoyed.

Kevin sighed strongly and walked into the bathroom at once. He couldn't let his children see him like
this.

"Mom." When the two kids saw their mother, they immediately ran towards her with a smile. Anne
squatted down and held both of them tightly in her arms.

As long as she could see and hug her children, she could feel nothing but infinite happiness.

"Mom, Grandma took us to the amusement park today. We played a lot of things, and we had a lot of
fun! Mom, please go with us next time, okay?" Sally couldn't hide the smile on her face and looked at
her mother expectantly.

Smiling and nodding, Anne rubbed her daughter's head and said, "As long as you want to go, I will take
you there."

The little girl nodded vivaciously. "Great! Awesome!"



Anne looked at Eddy, who was looking at her with a smile. She walked up to him, kissed his forehead,
and said, "My good boy."

Her soft words were full of love. Her son smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek.

Anne shook her head helplessly and slowly looked at Selma. The old woman looked at the two children
with a genuine smile, but when she looked at Anne, her face immediately turned cold and disdainful.

"Mom." After hesitating for a while, Anne sighed very deeply and addressed Selma sheepishly.

Kevin was right. The past was past. The most important thing was the present and the future.

Everyone in this world had done a few wrong things.

Although she shouldn't have done anything harmful in the name of love, what she had done was
because of love indeed.

And since there was nothing wrong with love, she couldn't blame her for it.

What Selma had been doing recently also showed that she had changed for the better. Wasn't she
trying her best to make up for Sally?

Wasn't that enough?

After all, she was an elder. Since she had realized what she had done was wrong, Anne had to choose
to forgive her.

Selma gaped in surprise. She couldn't believe what she just heard. What did Anne call her?

It was unbelievable that she could still hear Anne call her Mom in her life.



She wondered if she was hallucinating. At this moment, Selma suddenly doubted if she had misheard
something.
