Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 460 A Peaceful And Happy Life

Anne stood up without letting her dear Eddy's hand out of hers. She turned to Selma and sincerely said, "Thank you, Mom."

Selma raised her chin in pride, and responded in a teasing manner, "Only I can feed them until they're nice and round and healthy!"

She took Eddy's hand from Anne's grasp, and walked forward in her sky-high heels with quite a confident swagger.

Anne looked at Kevin for his reaction. He shook his head in happy defeat. She then turned to Simon, who was in Sam's arms, and also shook her head, showing her helplessness to Selma's loving, yet dramatic ways.

'I am lucky to have such a charmed life!' she thought.

Kevin and Sam drove straight back to the Fu Family's house. Selma and the kids were exhausted from the flight, so they were quite low energy for the duration of the drive. However, they were suddenly in high spirits once they arrived home.

Selma looked at her familial home which was so comfortable. She took a seat on the couch, and happily commented, "The world is so colorful but my home is the best."

Anne smiled and poured a glass of water for Selma. She didn't expect Selma to show such a strong family orientation.

"Mom, I want to eat the food you cook." Holding Kevin's neck, Sally turned around and looked at Anne expectantly.

Anne looked Sally up and down, feeling at a loss. Sally had indeed gained quite a bit of weight.

"Mom, Sally should perhaps eat a little less, right?" Anne asked Selma in a discrete voice so that no one else could hear.

Selma did not think anything of Sally's extra weight. Instead, she said proudly, "Although Sally has gained some weight, the food she eats is very healthy. Now she is going through a phase of overindulgence, as is the case at her age. She will know how to control herself when she grows up.

What's more is that we are quite comfortable; we are well-off. Can't we satisfy the little one and give her what she likes? Just let her eat!"

Anne had no choice but to nod.

While Anne was cooking, the three kids and Emily also stayed in the kitchen to help her prepare the meal.

Selma had not been in her bedroom for such an extended time period, so she couldn't wait to pay it a visit and do a stock take of her jewelry.

Standing by the kitchen window, Kevin and Sam took in the wonderful, homey scene and couldn't help but smile.

Kevin gently swirled the wine in his glass and took a sip. The heavy aroma of the wine penetrated his senses, relaxing him.

"Such a wonderful life!" he said. "In a few short months, I will also have a child of my own. I feel so happy and comforted when I think of this," Sam said, smiling.

Kevin raised his eyebrows and reminded Sam, "I have three children."

As Sam heard that, the corners of his mouth twitched in irritation. Kevin seemed to be gloating. Sam turned to him and responded, "Emily and I are newly married. Naturally, more children will come in

time."

Kevin chuckled, finished the wine in his glass and walked to the kitchen. Sam followed closely behind him.

Now that the two men had joined everyone in the kitchen, it was rather crowded. Feeling claustrophobic, Annie wiped her hands on a kitchen cloth and left the area to give a little more breathing room to the rest of them.

Keven followed Anne out of the room. Seeing him, she sat on the couch and smiled tenderly.

"Kevin, I have been thinking about such a peaceful and happy life for a long time. Since Kim came into my life, I thought this life would forever be out of my reach. I'm so gleefully surprised that I do have this life now." Anne looked out into the distance, evidently contemplating life with a look of contentment on her face.

She had her wonderful younger sister, Rose, and her best friend Emily. Selma had accepted her as her daughter-in-law with open arms. She also had Kevin and the three lovely children!

She had everything in the world. Who could be happier than her?

She closed her eyes gently in contentment. She could not stop smiling even if she tried. From now on, no one would disturb her peace. This day would be the start of their happily ever after. Kevin and Anne would watch their three dear children grow up. Although the two of them would age, they would remain as happy as they were now.

"Anne, don't worry. I will protect our family - you and our children." Kevin reached for Anne and gently gathered her in his arms. His voice was quiet yet powerful.

Anne nodded firmly and smiled at Kevin. She knew that Kevin would ensure he followed through with this promise.

The three children were still in the kitchen with Emily and Sam. Due to Sam's concern about Emily, there was commotion in the kitchen. Anne could not ignore such a ruckus and decided to go back there to assist.

As Kevin looked at all the figures making up the crowd in the kitchen, his smile widened.

He felt tremendously fulfilled. 'This kind of life should never end!

Anne, my children - I will try my best to protect you and keep you happy forever!' he thought.

Not noticing exactly when Selma had joined him and taken a seat next to him, he now realized she was there. He looked at her, and quietly said with affection in his voice, "Mom, this is wonderful, isn't it?"

Selma raised her eyebrows and nodded with the most acute movement.

After everything had transpired in the past, Selma had become frustrated and truly fed up with the state of things. Only now that she was living a life of peace did she feel a genuine sense of happiness.

"You know, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would be living under the same roof as Anne. I didn't even expect that I would accept her as my daughter-in-law." Selma shook her head in happy disbelief, smiling, as she admitted these things to Kevin.

Kevin nodded, acknowledging her. Thinking of how much Selma's attitude towards Anne had changed, Kevin beamed at how things had developed between them.

"Without having gone through the travails of the past, how could we have learned from our mistakes and reached the happiness we have now?" he said to Selma.

Selma raised her eyebrows in thought and then smiled and inclined her head in agreement. She had to admit that he was indeed logical.

If she had not given such pushback in respect of Anne and him, she doubted that the two of them would be living as harmonious a life as they were living now.

What was more, there were three lovable grandchildren.

After several hours of hard work in the kitchen, Anne and Sam walked out with many delectable-looking dishes in their hands.

The dining room in the Fu Family's house was expansive. Even though there were many people in the room today, there was ample space.

Pointing out the dish that she thought she cooked best, Anne addressed Selma, "Mom, try the pork with fish sauce. It isn't a fancy dish but it's very rich in flavor."

Selma had always been a petite woman with fine taste. She thought about how she only settled for the very best for herself. Looking at the fish-flavored pork dish, she pursed her lips in disgust. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

It looked anything but appetizing.

However, as soon as Anne had finished making this request of her, everyone, including the kids, looked at her expectantly. She had no choice but to take a hesitant bite of the dish. She raised in her eyebrows in surprise, thinking, 'It definitely does not look appealing, not in the least bit - but it is quite tasty.'

"Not bad!" Selma gave the most appropriate and objective answer.

With a smile shyly playing across her face, Anne served more dishes. Everyone eat at a lazy pace, occasionally making jokes and light-hearted conversation. They laughed with such sincerity that their eyes screwed up in glee.

Nothing could bring more joy than this current scene.

After dinner, everyone, except Selma, felt they had nothing to do. Selma was drained from the long day, but everyone else was in high spirits. Sam suggested that they have a look at the night life in the city.

There were many places to frequent during the night in the city. The children had not had any opportunity in recent times to go out so everyone immediately agreed to his suggestion.

They made a trip to the night market. Anne had Eddy's hand while Kevin took hold of Sally's.

Turning around to look at Kevin, Anne suddenly beamed and said, "I remember when we saw the night life in W City."

As Kevin Reminisced of this incident, his eyes flashed in concerned warning, and he said, "This time, we must be more vigilant and watch the roads. We must not be knocked by passers-by again."

Anne nodded seriously in response to his grave reply and then laughed.

"What are you talking about?" Sam was nearby, holding Simon and Emily by the hand. He was puzzled as he heard Anne and Kevin's conversation.

Anne shook her head in sadness and told Sam what had happened in W City. After listening to her, Sam nodded solemnly.

Indeed, they had to be careful while walking!

"By the way," Kevin started. Thinking about Mr. Huang, he continued, "After knowing that the company's crisis is part of my plan as well as Cory's true identity, Mr. Huang called several times with requests for cooperation."

"Did you agree?" Anne asked.

Kevin nodded with a smile, "We can't trust the likes of people like him, but cooperation in this kind of business setting must still be given."

Anne nodded.

Mr. Huang did not hesitate to kick them when they were down. But now that he had the nerve to agree and cooperate with Kevin, Kevin felt he had to take this opportunity to work with him.

In any event, the two of them were not friends, so Mr. Huang's usual behavior was reasonable in the business world.

"We are out for a good time tonight. Don't think about work," Emily said to the group, with a light-up stick in her hand.

Everyone agreed with grins on their face. They had indeed made this trip for merrymaking so there were things that should not be discussed.

"I want that!" Sally's eyes opened widely and she looked at Emily's fluorescent stick. She reached out a pudgy hand for the stick.

Emily gave the stick to her with a smile, and passed a second one to Simon. She of course did not fail to give cute Eddy one, as well.

They waved the fluorescent sticks in their hands. The handsome men and the beautiful women, coupled with the three beautiful kids in tow, attracted everyone's attention for a moment.

Some people recognized Anne and Kevin, and took photos of them.

There were also a few people who eagerly wanted to take pictures with the kids. It was rare to find such a cute group of children so one could understand their requests.

Parents were always pleased when others complimented their little ones. Anne and Kevin agreed to the pictures.

The three kids were not afraid of the strangers. They posed in many different ways, amazing those around them.

Standing there, with a faint smile on her face, Anne thought that her children were genuinely something special.

"Look at that excellent man, Kevin. But the woman next to him, Anne, she is truly vulgar."

Out of nowhere, Anne heard a low voice make this comment. The smile was wiped off her face.

So in some people's eyes, Anne was still considered a slut.

Her eyes narrowed in anger, coldness flashing across her face. She would definitely find a way to remedy this situation. But for now, she was having a good time and decided not to let this ruin her mood.

Besides, Kevin hadn't heard the defamatory comment.

"Emily, our child will also be so adorable in the near future." Standing aside, Sam gently held Emily's hand and smiled at her.

Emily nodded firmly and placed her hand on her belly gently. She knew that their child would be as wonderful as these kids.

"Would you like a son or a daughter?" Emily raised her head quickly to look at Sam.

Sam chuckled and said in a soft voice, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's our child and I will love it!"

Emily nodded. The two had made a deal when they had first found out she was pregnant.

If they wanted to know the baby's gender, it would be a piece of cake, especially since Sam owned a hospital. But they had agreed that they would not find out. They were ready to be surprised at the birth of the child. It would be more exciting to do it this way.

Therefore, they had to wait patiently until the baby's birth.
