Attracted By My Ex-wife Chapter 498 People Live Only For Themselves

Andrew looked at Cherry; his eyes filled with concern and worry for her. He closed his eyes and sighed.

Alan had the right to choose what he would say. If Cherry wanted to keep his mouth shut forever, the
only way to do it was to...

Andrew's body stiffened as a thought occurred in his mind. However, he quickly brushed the thought
away. How could he let such vile thoughts inhabit his mind?

"And..." Cherry closed her eyes. "Alan told my secret to the policeman, Luke. That guy is threatening
me to be his mistress. Otherwise, he will reveal my secret to the media."

Everyone knew that serving as a mistress meant that she had to sacrifice her body.

Andrew widened his eyes in shock. "Alan has gone too far!" he growled.

However, the man couldn't utter another word because Cherry had killed Alan's sister, and he was
taking his revenge in every possible way.

The two had been facing issues right from the beginning, and the problem didn't seem to end.

"Yes, he has indeed gone too far. But all I can do is lament about it. I'm helpless. I have to listen to
Luke. After all, he is a policeman. He can do anything to ruin my life." Cherry covered her face with her
palm, and a lone tear trickled down.

Andrew's brows furrowed. He wanted to comfort her but couldn't say anything because both were
aware of the magnitude of the problem.

It was midnight when Cherry left the hospital. She strolled across the empty street. The cool wind
soothed her tired body. Her turbid brain became a little sober.



Luke sent her a message, asking her to meet him at the hotel the next day. Cherry's stomach began to
churn. She had no choice but to meet him.

Otherwise, the man would reveal her secret to the world.

Cherry couldn't let people take advantage of her like this. She vowed to make Luke suffer one day for
torturing her.

Meanwhile, Luke was standing outside Alan's cell with a contented smile.

The prison was quiet; almost everyone had fallen asleep.

"Dude, you are freaking awesome! I thought you were just bragging, but I didn't expect that you could
make my dream come true." Luke took out a cigarette from his pocket and looked at Alan in awe.

Alan scoffed and put the cigarette into his mouth. Luke lit it for him.

The man took a puff and slowly exhaled.

His lungs burned, for the quality of the cigarette was too bad. But Alan didn't complain because he was
in jail now.

"Boy, you are lucky to have an affair with her. If you give up this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest
of your life." Alan shook his head, taking another puff of his cigarette.

"Yes, yes!" Luke nodded excitedly as he began to picture what he would do to Cherry the next day. The
blood gushed through his veins, making his body tingle.

Kristine had a beautiful face and a sexy body. She used to be his idol whom he admired, but not even
in his wildest dreams did Luke think that he would get to sleep with her one day.

He couldn't wait to see her at the hotel and fulfill all his desires.



Luke checked his watch and sighed. Time was ticking slowly; every second felt like an hour.

"Haste makes waste. Be patient." Alan shook his head and chuckled.

Luke grinned sheepishly. He exchanged a few more words with Alan and left, feeling happy.

Alan watched Luke's receding figure, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He had only tried luring Luke
to torture Cherry but didn't think that the plan would work.

The young police officer was oblivious to Alan's trick. Luke regarded himself lucky but didn't know that
he was only digging his grave.

He had gotten himself into the mess between Alan and Cherry and would never be able to escape from
it.

Bright lights illuminated the Fu Family's house.

Anne was sitting in the study with a brush in hand, staring at the rough designs. She growled with
frustration before crumbling the paper and tossing them into the bin.

Another star had requested Anne to design her outfit, but her mind was a mess today. She didn't get
the inspiration to come up with an original design.

Her mind was filled with thoughts about Cherry; she couldn't think of anything else.

Kevin walked in with a cup of coffee. "What happened?" His eyes widened when he saw the trashcan
brimming with the crumpled balls of papers.

Anne rubbed her temples and let out a weary sigh. "My mind is a mess. I am not able to come up with
a good design idea."

Kevin chuckled and walked over to his wife. He leaned closer and began massaging her shoulders.



Anne closed her eyes as her muscles relaxed.

She looked up at Kevin and got lost in her train of thoughts again.

"What's wrong with you today? Are you still thinking about Cherry?" Kevin asked. He wasn't aware
Cherry had been to Anne's office today. However, sensing her mood, he could tell that she was still
thinking about it.

Anne nodded, smiling gently at her husband.

Kevin somehow managed to read her mind. Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to Cherry. She felt
that Alan had gone too far.

"Stop worrying. It has nothing to do with us. I know that you can't stop thinking about Cherry but you
have to understand that you can't help her." Anne stood up and stretched her body. She smiled at
Kevin and walked out, holding his hand. "I have been sitting for a long time, and I'm hungry now. How
about I make you some midnight snack?"

Kevin was surprised, but he nodded happily.

Anne pursed her lips and skimmed through the fridge. The Fu Family usually bought fresh meat and
vegetables in the morning. She grew frustrated as there was nothing to cook.

It was late at night. Anne could neither go to bed on an empty stomach nor eat unhealthy food and
suffer the next day morning.

A smile stretched across her lips when she spotted the egg tray.

She decided to make egg custard. It was easy to digest as well as nutritious.



She quickly wore her apron, put the eggs into a bowl and added some salt. Within a few minutes, she
placed a steaming bowl of egg custard in front of Kevin.

The two enjoyed their late-night snack as they chatted happily. Kevin took a mouthful of the custard
and moaned in appreciation.

"Colin seems to be facing a big problem in his business," he said.

Anne snapped her head to look at him. "Is it a serious problem?"

Kevin nodded. "I hadn't paid attention to Colin's business at first. But the other CEOs have been telling
that if Colin didn't handle it well, then he would go bankrupt."

"Oh, God! That sounds awful!" Anne shook her head in surprise.

"Colin has just risen to the top. He isn't from a wealthy background. This loss will have a grave impact
on his business and family," Kevin said concernedly.

Anne shook her head worriedly. Ella was still staying with the Fu Family. Thankfully, the children were
asleep. The poor girl would be worried if she found out about the problems her father had been facing.

The people of the Fu Family grew fond of Ella with every passing day. The girl was not only beautiful,
but she had a friendly personality as well.

"Do you think we can help him?" Anne asked.

Kevin shook his head. "I don't get along with the CEO of the company that Colin has collaborated with.
He has a conflict with me. I can't do anything about it."

Anne took a spoon of custard and smiled. "Since he can rise in the business circle in such a short
period of time, he certainly has some ability. We can't help him now, but this is a chance to find out if he



can make it."

It was not their problem to worry about, so they decided not to get involved in it.

Kevin nodded and continued to eat.

The next morning, Cherry was in the kitchen, making breakfast for Andrew. She couldn't fall asleep all
night.

Andrew's assistant and agents were with him in the ward.

Cherry walked in with a lunch bag. The assistant stood up and took over her things, while the agent
glanced at Cherry, casting a disgusted look at her.

Andrew smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Andrew, I know that you are weak. But you are a popular actor; you can't stay in bed all day long.
Besides, your fans are waiting for you outside -- they come to see you every day. I think you should see
them even if you don't feel like it." If Andrew didn't acknowledge their effort, then his fans might forget
him soon.

Andrew nodded in understanding. The injury on his head would take longer to heal because that was
where Alan had hit him. His body was covered in bruises, but he was showing significant improvement.
Now, except for sometimes he would feel dizzy, there were no other serious symptoms.

"Let Andrew sit on a wheelchair," Cherry suggested.

The agent looked at her and nodded. Sitting in a wheelchair would only make his condition seem worse
than it actually was.

Andrew smiled at Cherry.



Once his assistant and agent left, he finally asked the question that had been bothering him all night.
"Are you going to see him tonight?"

Among the few people who knew Cherry's true identity, only Andrew understood her emotions and
listened to her grievances. She felt nice to have someone who neither hated nor judged her. Therefore,
Cherry told him everything -- she felt as if a weight had left her chest.

Cherry's body stiffened; she averted her gaze. She didn't want to meet Luke. However, she knew what
might happen if she didn't listen to him. She had no choice. The man would reveal her secret to the
world if she disobeyed.

"I killed someone unintentionally, and I'm living with the mistake of my past. The damage is irreparable.
I am doomed," Cherry finally said after a long silence.

Sensing the meaning behind her words, Andrew understood that she was going to see Luke.

He looked away and let out a weary sigh. Andrew was a smart man; he knew that he had to stay away
from Cherry. Otherwise, his reputation would get tarnished if people found out her truth. Therefore, it
was better to end all ties with her.

However, the sight of Cherry's pitiful face broke his heart. Andrew felt sorry for her.

After all, she didn't mean to kill anyone.

"Thank you, Andrew. Thank you for listening to my side of the story and understanding my emotions.
You haven't revealed my identity to the media despite knowing the truth. You are a good man, and I am
grateful for having you by my side," Cherry said. Her voice was thick with emotion.

Andrew was surprised. He had not helped Cherry in any way, but she was thanking him just for
listening to her.



Cherry had been carrying the burden of her past. The secrets were suffocating her and killing her
happiness. She was finally happy to have found someone whom she could trust.

Although Andrew only listened to her instead of offering any help, she felt safe around him. She could
be herself instead of pretending to be Kristine.

"Well, I have some work to deal with today. I'm leaving now." Cherry picked up her bag and walked
outside.

Andrew watched her leave as countless thoughts swarmed in his head.

He knew that Cherry wouldn't come to see him in the rest of the day because she was going to have
sex with Luke tonight. Perhaps the woman had slept with countless people in the past. But this time it
was different. She was threatened to have sex with another man, which had torn her self-esteem to
shreds.

However, Andrew couldn't get involved in such things.

He wouldn't allow himself to get into this mess because he had to take care of his future.

He closed his eyes and sighed, hoping to get better soon.
