The sun rose and its warmth began to spread across, instilling emotions of harmony.
In the yard, Anne was sitting beside the vine rack. The scattered branches and leaves blocked the
scorching sunshine, but not completely. Several rays of sunshine penetrated through the gaps,
caressing across her face gently.
There was a bottle of warm water next to the table where Anne was sitting, but she wasn't drinking.
Pregnant women were supposed to drink plenty of water. It was good for their health, but she wasn't
thirsty. The servant, however, did her duty and constantly brought it to her.
It was very quiet under the vines. After taking a nap, Anne heard heavy steps. Rubbing her eyes, she
looked around. It was none other than Kevin.
At the sight of him, she felt quite embarrassed and closed her eyes. It was not the first time he had
kissed her. But every time Kevin got intimate with her, she would feel shy.
He had reached close to her now. Anne couldn't feign sleep anymore, so she slowly opened her eyes.
Kevin was only five meters away from her. To distract herself, Anne quickly went for the glass of water
on the table and drank it slowly. This relaxed her a bit.
Seeing Anne's behavior, Kevin felt that she was uncomfortable. He found her nervousness very
attractive.
"Anne, did you have a good rest yesterday?" Kevin smiled. He was pulling her leg.
Anne blushed crimson at his words. 'Is Kevin doing this on purpose or am I overanalyzing his words?'
she couldn't help but wonder. She had actually slept quite well yesterday. However, when she woke up
in the morning, she began to feel embarrassed.
"Of course," Anne said and took another gulp of water.
"That's good. I think you sleep a lot better when I am by your side," Kevin said, a smile playing on his
lips.
Hearing that, Anne rolled her eyes. Now it was sure to her that Kevin was teasing. He had been teasing
her a lot lately.
"I guess so," Anne said in a low voice, gazing into his eyes. This made Kevin extremely happy.
"Then I'm relieved. Come with me and I will take you to see Eddy. We should stay there for a few
days." Then Kevin reached out his hand and held Anne.
"Okay." As soon as she heard they were going to meet Eddy, she jumped at the opportunity. When
Anne stood up, Kevin held her waist gently.
In the old house of the Fu Family, the sky blue carpet was painted with a large Winnie bear.
It was as large as a human being.
Eddy made sounds and played, pushing the toy train on the carpet. Accidentally, he stumbled and fell
on the painting of Winnie bear. He sat on the ground with his hands and feet stretched out, but was
disappointed at realizing that the Winnie bear painting was larger than him.
Selma stopped playing cards. Since Eddy came, her greatest pleasure was in taking care of her
grandson.
"Eddy, come here," Selma said and waved at Eddy kindly.
"Grandma, I want to play a little longer," Eddy requested in a sweet voice.
He made a cute puppy face. Selma found it hard to say no. However, she was a woman who believed
in punctuality. It was time for dinner and Eddy had to join them.
"It's time for dinner, Eddy. If you want to become as tall as Daddy then you shouldn't delay dinner."
Selma walked up to him and tousled his hair.
On looking around, Selma realized that Eddy had torn apart the toy train. A frown creased her face.
Although she loved Eddy, she couldn't allow him to destroy things. Her frown deepened and she was
about to reproach him. Before she could do it, Eddy did something shocking.
Since it was dinner time, he knelt down and pressed the scattered small parts of the train one by one.
'Eddy is less than two years old! How can he do all this?' Selma wondered, utterly shocked.
Selma couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart. After Eddy was done, she picked him up and said,
"Eddy, tell me, did anyone teach you how to do it?"
Carl was very old and she was certain he hadn't taken out time to play with Eddy. All the servants knew
Eddy's identity so they wouldn't dare to cross their limits.
Eddy shook his head, signifying nobody had taught him. Selma was sure that Eddy was indeed
talented in this aspect. She smiled happily and said, "Eddy, you are really smart! You are capable of
assembling a toy train! I will buy you lots of jigsaw blocks later," she promised.
As soon as Selma finished speaking, she heard Kevin's voice, "You won't have to. We have already
bought them."
Hearing this, Selma raised her head and saw Kevin and Anne walking towards her. Kevin was carrying
a bag full of blocks for his son.
"Mom, Mom!" When Eddy's eyes caught sight of Anne, he let go of Selma's arms and rushed towards
her. Ten seconds later, he was in front of his mother, clutching her thigh.
Both Selma and Kevin were shocked. They were worried that something bad would happen to Anne.
After all, she was still pregnant.
Seeing that Eddy wouldn't let go of her so easily, Kevin pulled Eddy by his suspenders and lifted him
up.
"You little monster, don't scare your mother." Kevin was constantly worried about Anne's health.
Eddy, on the other hand, had spent time away from his mother. He was pouting, eager to be with her.
Looking at Eddy's annoyed expression, everyone smiled. It turned out that Eddy had his father's
temper.
"Kevin, don't be too harsh to my little boy. We haven't seen him for a long time. It's natural for him to
miss me."
With great difficulty, Anne squatted down, and a servant put a soft stool behind her.
"Eddy, have you behaved well in your Grandma's house?" Anne pinched Eddy's little face and asked.
As soon as Anne put her hand on Eddy's face, he leant forward. Like a cat with ears folded, Eddy
rubbed his head against Anne's palm. He looked adorable doing it.
"Eddy has been very obedient. But I wish you would visit him more frequently. And if it's not convenient
for you to come here, I don't mind staying with you and taking care of you both," Selma suggested.
Eddy's presence has brought Selma and Anne closer, easing their tension. What was more, Anne had
been framed before. It was Carl's reminder that had made her think it through.
Anne was the kind of person who thought twice before placing her trust on someone. She didn't
respond well to others' kindness. Life had made her tough.
After thinking for a while, she said, "No, thanks. You have Grandpa to take care of. I will come here
often. Sam advised me to go for a walk more often. It's good for my health."
Selma let Anne's words sink in and realized it made sense. She no longer insisted on staying with
them. Instead, she just smiled and nodded her head.
While the two ladies were talking, Kevin had already made up with Eddy, showing him the jigsaw
blocks and other toys he had brought for him.
Kevin didn't care about his image. He sat on the ground and taught Eddy to play jigsaw.
Eddy had inherited Kevin's high IQ. Kevin showed him how to put jigsaw pieces together only once, but
the child had already memorized everything. So when Kevin messed up the jigsaw pieces, Eddy could
still put them back together.
Once again, Eddy's skills surprised Selma. She couldn't help but watch him in awe.
"Oh my God! My grandson is really a genius!" Selma exclaimed happily.
"Kevin, Anne, I think it's a good idea to allow him to develop his brain. My grandson is a natural!"
Selma continued. She had a vision in her mind. She imagined him being called a genius by everyone.
And as his grandmother, it would be a moment of pride for her.
Kevin coughed, bringing her back from her reverie. "Mom, you know what? When I was a kid, you
enrolled me in Mathematical Olympiad classes. I didn't even attend those classes. Instead, I chose to
play games with Sam."
Hearing this, Selma was both angry and amused. She was angry because her little boy had cheated
her. But she was amused because it went to prove that Kevin was indeed quite smart. Otherwise how
could anyone hide something like this from their mother?
At the mention of this, she also remembered enrolling Kevin to too many classes. In a way, she had
prepared him to manage a company ever since he was a child. With all this, she hardly spent any time
with him. As a consequence, he become an excellent person, but they didn't share a close relationship.
Thinking of this, she sighed and gave up on this idea. If she hadn't constantly worried about Kevin's
education, they would have been closer to each other. How she wished to change things!
"All right. Eddy is a smart boy. He doesn't need to take any extra lessons. He will eventually learn
everything, including how to run a company. No need to hurry things."
After Selma said that, Anne breathed a sigh of relief, but Kevin was expressionless. Even if Selma
insisted that Eddy should be pressurized to take classes at such a young age, he wasn't going to
agree.
However, he had one wish. He wanted Eddy and the baby in Anne's belly to grow up as soon as
possible. That way, he and Anne could travel around the world.
As Kevin thought about the adventures they would have in the future, his face broke into a smile. Eddy
was busy with the blocks. He had no idea that his father was in a hurry for him to grow up.
Just when they were having a good time, Anne's phone rang.
She looked at the caller ID and found that it was a call from Mark. There was also an unread message
from Rose.
'Did they have anything important to tell me?' she wondered. A little confused, she answered the call.
When she heard Mark's voice, she smiled happily.
"Okay, we'll be there." After saying that, Anne hung up the phone, only to find that Kevin had been
staring at her. There was a look of inquiry in his eyes.
'What's up with Kevin? Every time I try to have a conversation with Mark or Sam, he reacts strangely,'
Anne thought.
Jealous men were terrible to deal with and Kevin was the most jealous man she had seen. She was
determined to make things clear.
Clearing her throat, she explained, "It's a call from Mark. He is going to marry Rose." This was an
explosive news, and everyone present were shocked.
Selma, in particular, was a little ill at ease even though she had accepted Anne. "That's a good thing.
Rose is your sister, and Mark is your friend. When you go for their engagement party, you can choose a
grand gift," Selma said, smiling.
Hearing this, Anne knew she had to correct the misunderstanding. "It's a marriage, not an
engagement," she said.
"Oh my god, why is she in such a hurry! Rose is a girl who cares about traditions and customs. How
can she do it without any preparations?" Selma asked, her surprise evident in her voice. After she
learnt about this, her opinion of Rose lowered.
