Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 156 I Don't Believe You

"No matter how bad I am in your heart, he's my child. If it was not for him, I would surely not come back. So rest assured that I don't want anything else. I just want my child to be healthy," Anne said.

Selma raised her brows and thought for a moment. Finally, she began to spoke in a scornful tone. "I don't believe you. Aren't you here for the sake of our family wealth in the first place? But you are right. He's indeed your child. Well, show me if you're really capable of soothing the kid."

Anne didn't care how Selma appeared aggressive in front of her. She could no longer change the way they thought of her, so why bother to convince them that she really had good intentions?

"Then, please give me the baby, okay?" she said in an unfaltering tone. She appeared determined in front of them, and she would stay like that until she got her child. However, her eyes were filled with pity when she saw her baby.

Selma reluctantly put the baby into her arms. Anne felt that her heart melted the moment the baby's soft body met hers.

"Baby, don't cry. Mommy is here, good boy." To Selma's surprise, the baby had gradually stopped crying when Anne held him in her arms.

"Humph!" Selma was still not convinced, but she could not take the child from Anne's arms now, so she had to go to her room.

She honestly didn't want to acquiesce in Anne's request to take care of her child because she never trusted her. On the other side, Cherry got furious with the thought that her credit might be taken away. She sneered and said, "Anne, give the child to me. I think you have forgotten that Kevin had entrusted the baby to my care."

Anne used to object directly and argue with Cherry, but this time, she managed to calm herself and talked to her, "What's the rush? Kevin's mother had just allowed me to take care of my child. I know that you just want to show yourself in front of Kevin. Don't worry, when he comes back, you can take care of our baby again, okay?"

Even though she had already calmed herself, her words sounded insulting to Cherry. However, as usual, Cherry didn't show how annoyed she was and just said, "Okay, if that's what you said."

She didn't care anymore about what Anne was planning to do. She would always win over her anyway.

After Anne lulled the baby to sleep, a smile appeared on her face. She couldn't resist the charm of her child. His warmth made her more comfortable despite how unkind the people who surrounded them were.

After putting him on the bed, she called Sam and asked him to check on her baby.

The mirror in the bathroom was covered with mist. Anne looked at it and wiped the mist away. She put on comfortable clothes and walked out of the bathroom. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Her hair was still wet. It made her look even hotter. Her features were indeed so good that no matter what hair style she had, it would always suit her.

"Sam, when did you come?" She saw Sam, as soon as she came out of the bathroom. She felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head slightly.

I'm going to change my clothes, wait for me for a few minutes." After saying that, she immediately ran to the bedroom. She felt the heat as her face turned red.

Sam was a bit startled when he saw her. It was rare for him to see her this way.

He smiled gently. Only the one who really loved her and cared about her could see how good she was. As for Kevin, maybe he would never realize it for the rest of his life.

When Anne came out, she had already changed into casual clothes, and her hair was not as wet when she came out of the bathroom.

"I'm sorry for keeping you wait. I don't know when you would arrive," Anne said in an apologetic tone.

"It doesn't matter. I came a little ahead of time, and Emily asked me to send a gift to the baby. Have a look." Sam spoke in a calm tone and took out a small delicate box.

It had been a long time since Anne heard about Emily. She felt a little sad with the thought, but she held the feeling back. She didn't like to make others think that she was vulnerable even it was Sam, who was a good friend of her.

"Do you have any news about Emily? How is she? Is she doing well?" Anne couldn't wait to ask.

Among all the people, she considered Emily as the sincerest friend she ever had and also the one she felt the most sorry for.

When Sam noticed the uneasiness on her face, he smiled lightly and said, "You don't know that Emily has a good time there. Fortunately, she had gone to another place and didn't have to follow you to work around the clock. She was not that busy there, so she had time to knit that cute baby doll."

"Emily is so considerate…" Anne felt so much warmth in her heart. She was a bit moved and didn't know what to say. She was happy with the thought that Emily had still been so thoughtful towards her and her child despite being away. She felt even guiltier that she didn't take good care of her when she was around.

Sam always knew that Anne was not used to showing her soft side. He smiled gently and said, "You wouldn't think so if you knew what she said. She said that since you have learned designing jewelries, she wanted you to design her wedding rings."

"Of course! If you two get married, I will be very happy. By the way, when are you going to get engaged?" asked Anne with excitement.

When Sam thought of the person he liked, he couldn't help but smile sweetly. He was indeed full of bliss now that he already found the right person for him.

Anne also smiled when she saw the look on his face. She was truly happy for her friends.

"By the way, Sam, the baby has been crying for a long time today. Was he uncomfortable?" She felt worried about her child every time he cried. But she had promised Sam that she would not try to take the baby back from Cherry.

"Don't worry, I'll go and check on him." Sam remained calm despite seeing the anxiety in Anne's eyes. He could understand how she felt, so he had to assure her that everything would be all right.

In a sky blue bedroom that was designed for Anne's child, the baby was lying on the small bed. He was crying out loud maybe because her mother was not by his side. He was also a little thin.

At this moment, the baby must have felt her mother approaching. He suddenly stopped crying and a fleeting smile appeared on his face. Anne was a bit stunned when she saw it, but she was confused if it was really a smile.

Sam felt that she was a bit surprised and spoke up. "This is the baby's smile when he feels the presence of his mother. The relationship between the mother and the baby is very subtle, as if it is because of the blood relationship and the tacit understanding between them from the time he was in

his mother's belly. So, whenever the mother gets close to him, he will act just like what you saw. Just now, he was expressing his intimacy with you."

Anne felt her heart fluttered when she heard his explanation. She gently touched the pinkish cheek of her baby.

"Well, the baby had just recovered from fever. Will there be other problems? I'm worried that if the baby hasn't been taken good care of, it will affect his growth." She was always a loving mother when she was with her child.

"If he will be taken care of enough in order not to catch a cold and keep up with nutrition, the baby will be fine after taking the medicine for another day. He will eventually grow a little fatter and healthy." Anne was filled with hope when she heard what Sam had said. She imagined her baby growing fat and healthy. A smile lingered on her lips for a long time as she thought about it.

In an office of the AN company, the vintage dark wooden desk gave the room a classy aura. Next to it was a black sofa. The whole office was set in gray. It was all designed aesthetically according to Kevin's taste.

At this time, Kevin leaned against the sofa. He could no longer focus on work. It was half past five, and he was supposed to get off work. The sky was a bit darker than usual, but it was undeniably darker in his room.

His assistant Daniel put the sorted documents on the table and said, "Mr. Kevin, I've finished my work. Is there anything else?"

"Nothing, you can go now." Kevin continued to browse the documents without raising his head to the employee.

"Okay. Mr. Kevin, you should go back early too."

Except for Kevin, there were only a few staff members who had to work overtime and several cleaners in this big company.

Almost half an hour had passed. He patted his forehead and locked the file in the drawer. He was about to go back.

He always had a headache every time his mother came to his house. As expected, he got inexplicably upset.

He didn't want to go back at first, but when he thought that Anne might have a hard time with his mother around, he had to go back.

He quickly went to his car and drove at a high speed all the way home. However, as soon as the car arrived at the gate, he saw a familiar car that was parking beside the gate of the villa. It was a black Ferrari. He recognized that it was Sam's car at a glance.

He furrowed his brows. What made him more irritated was when he saw Sam roll down the window of his car and said something to Anne. He saw her smiling at him. Damn it, she never smiled like that to him, why would she do so to Sam?

Kevin hit the steering wheel and glared at the distance.

The servant opened the door and he sped up to get past Sam's car. The servant took a few steps back and almost stumbled in so much fear.

Anne saw what he did and said coldly, "What a crazy man."

After sending Sam off, she returned to the villa. When she saw that Kevin was still wearing a gloomy face, she also felt irritated knowing that he didn't even greet her friend. "Kevin, what's wrong with you?"

Kevin was still furious and couldn't manage to deal with her calmly. He just ignored her and went straight to the bathroom. "Inexplicable!" Anne said in an irritated tone.

The bathroom was filled with a woman's scent. It was the same as Anne's fragrance.

The mist in there had already dissipated, but there was still a few droplets of water in the mirror. There seemed to be fingerprints of Anne when she looked at the mirror earlier.

When Kevin saw this, he was even more infuriated. He was worried that Anne couldn't handle the situation here, so he came back immediately only to see her talking and smiling with Sam from ear to ear.

It was something he never saw when he was in front of her. He was pissed off when he thought of her indifference towards him.

Kevin clenched his fists and his eyes turned fiery.

There was a knock on the door, and Cherry spoke. "Kevin, you are back!" Do you need your clothes?"

When she knew that Kevin was already home, she quickly prepared his pajamas and waited outside happily.
