If only Anne was normal, Selma would be at ease. Unfortunately, she was not.
Selma treasured her grandchildren so much. Though she knew that they were Anne's biological
children, she was still worried about them. In the end, she decided it was better to follow the children's
mother.
Anne knew about this, but she did not care. She decided to take her three children to the shopping
mall.
It was Selma who had provided the children's basic needs most of the time. But now, Anne wanted to
handle the children's affairs by herself.
Sally and Simon grew up together, so they liked to play with each other. Now that they were together
again, they held hands and jumped happily. Their other brother, Eddy, was beside them. He was
walking alongside Anne, an apparent worry in his eyes.
Although Anne was different, it was still better to follow her.
"Mom, look, a beautiful dress! I think this would look good on Sally. What do you think?" Anne asked
Selma as she walked towards the cute dress.
Surprised, Selma raised her eyebrows. This was the first time Anne called her "mom" since she came
back.
She heaved a sigh, a feeling of anxiety in her chest. She had no idea when Anne would return to the
way she used to be.
With a frown, Selma scrutinized the dress in Anne's hand and shook her head in disagreement.
"Although the fabric is soft, it's cheap. As a child of the Fu Family, how can Sally wear this kind of
dress?"
Selma loved luxury. As a matter of fact, the children's clothes, which she had bought herself, were all
very expensive.
Anne frowned upon hearing her mother-in-law's remark. Although Selma had already expressed her
disagreement, Anne still placed the dress in front of Sally and looked at it. Satisfied by what it had
turned out on her child, she bought it.
If it was in normal times, Selma would definitely scold Anne. But right now, she could not protest
further.
While they were in the section of the children's products, Anne and Emily bumped into each other.
Emily looked at Anne in surprise and disbelief. If she had not bumped on her friend, Emily would not
have known that Anne had already come back.
She scanned Anne from head to toe, which put a frown on Anne's face. Looking at the woman in front
of her, Anne could not figure out if she liked or hate her.
"Anne, when did you come back?" Emily had always regarded Anne as her sister. But now...
With a sneer, Anne answered Emily's question mockingly, "You used to be kind to me and you treated
me as your sister. How could you call my name indifferently? Emily, you must be jealous, and your
jealousy must be driving you nuts."
Anne's sudden mockery made Emily wide-eyed in disbelief.
Selma frowned upon hearing Anne's response. She then grabbed Emily's arm and whispered an
explanation, "Anne was drugged by Kim, so she is different than before. As you can see, she's
opposite of what she truly is. The true Anne wouldn't say these kinds of things. Please don't be angry
with her now in this special period."
With a frown, Emily turned around and gazed at Anne's back. All of a sudden, a bad feeling emerged in
her heart. She calmed herself down and asked Selma, "When did Anne come back?"
"The night three days ago," answered Selma without a second thought.
A cold feeling washed over Emily's body. She staggered a few steps back and leaned against a wall for
support.
Three days ago, when she went to bring some night snack to Sam, he was absent-minded for a long
time. Even when she left, he did not go after her. That made her extremely sad. She even thought that
if Sam did not love her anymore, she was still his wife. He still needed to comfort her. However, up until
now, she still had not gotten a call from him.
No wonder he seemed so distressed. As it turned out, Anne had come back, but was injected with a
drug just as they had anticipated.
'Sam, you don't have to say anything now. I know everything. In your heart, I'm incomparable to Anne.'
"Emily, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" asked Selma while looking at Emily in confusion.
Emily shook her head. But seeing Anne's expression, she walked over towards her. With a frown,
Selma followed Emily immediately.
"Anne, it's nice of you to come back safely. Anyway, I want to ask you something. Do you really hate
Kevin so much?" whispered Emily, but her lips were curled into a smile.
Because Emily was so close to her, Anne took a step back, and she answered unhappily, "Yes! I hate
him so much, but it has nothing to do with you."
Everything that Anne said was actually contrary to what she believed.
For some reason, Emily suddenly liked what Kim had done to her friend. With a sly smile at the corners
of mouth, she shook her head deliberately and said, "I wonder if Cherry has a good time in prison."
Cherry?
An image suddenly flashed through Anne's mind, making her put her hand on her forehead. Once upon
a time, Kevin's wife was Cherry, and the woman had once competed with her over him.
Since Cherry was Kevin's wife, they were destined to be together. She was wrong to fight for Kevin and
send his wife to prison!
Everything was all her fault!
Damn it! Why did she have to make such a big mistake at that time and send Cherry to jail?
If it were not for Kevin, she and Cherry would not have reached a state of stalemate. For some reason,
she liked Cherry with all her heart.
Only when she came back to her senses did she realize that Emily had already left. She lowered her
head to the ground, and her internal struggle could be seen in her eyes.
If she begged Cherry for forgiveness and returned her to Kevin, would Cherry forgive her?
Seeing Anne so perturbed, Selma felt worried for her. "Anne, what's wrong?"
Anne frowned and looked up at Selma with remorseful eyes. In the past, Selma had opposed Anne and
Kevin's affinity. She even warned Anne to stay away from his son!
Anne did not listen to her. But now...
"Mom, you did the right thing before. I just realized that I'm not worthy of Kevin. I shouldn't be with him,"
said Anne with a heavy sigh while her head was lowered to the ground.
Upon hearing this, Selma frowned and looked at her in disbelief. 'What did Anne mean by that?'
Since Anne was now in a bad mood, she could not go shopping anymore. She only bought the small
dress for Sally and then went home to the Fu Family's house.
When she returned home, she felt particularly restless. She pondered about something for a while.
When she was done, she finally decided to call Kevin.
Kevin immediately knew the number at first glance. Seeing this, he heaved an exasperated sigh and
rubbed his eyebrows in stress.
There could only be a reason why Anne suddenly called him. But how could it be possible? He would
never divorce her no matter what!
The phone rang relentlessly in his hand. He did not want to answer it, but he had no choice but to do
so.
"Kevin, do you really love me? Perhaps you hate me so much that you didn't want to divorce even
though you're aware that I have fallen in love with Kim. This is the reason why you decided to torture
me, isn't it?" Anne's voice was gentle yet full of grievances.
On the other side, Kevin's heart ached. His mouth was curled into a frown, but he had no idea why.
"Anne, why are you asking me this all of a sudden? What happened? I love you, and there's no reason
for me to hate you."
'Besides, how can I do that? I love you so much!'
But Kevin did not say his thoughts. It was not right for the current Anne to hear such words.
Meanwhile, Anne sighed heavily. "Kevin, you don't have to hide it. I know everything now."
Her last statement made Kevin feel even more confused. He could not understand why Anne said that.
When he was to about to ask her, she continued, "I know you don't like me. It has been Cherry all this
time. Because of me, you had to send her to prison. Kevin, the Fu Family is wealthy. They won't accept
a girl who has been in prison, right?"
Cherry?
Upon hearing her name, Kevin frowned. He had almost forgotten the existence of that woman if Anne
had not mentioned that name.
"I was young and thoughtless before. I thought that I was so in love with you, so I did nothing but pester
you. Because of that, my actions resulted in grave repercussions. Don't worry, I promise to make up for
everything I've done!" continued Anne, hearing that no response came from Kevin.
Her words put a deeper frown on Kevin's face. He wanted to protest, but just as he was about to do so,
he heard the busy tone on the phone.
What happened to Anne? Her words were strange and off the wall!
Kevin called Selma to know where Anne was. After knowing that Anne was at home, he breathed a
sigh of relief and continued to deal with his work. Fortunately, she did not mention the divorce when
she called.
But a thought lingered at the back of his mind. What did Anne mean about making up for everything
she had done?
When the afternoon came, Anne left the Fu Family's house. Selma waved her hand to her subordinates
and instructed them to follow Anne, who did not refuse.
To everyone's surprise, Anne went to prison!
The moment she arrived there, she immediately asked to see a particular person. It was Cherry. As the
prison guards heard who she was looking for, they informed her that Cherry was no longer imprisoned.
Anne was taken aback by this news. If Cherry had already been freed, who saved her?
She pondered for a while. Then, as she came to the only possible conclusion, she heaved a heavy
sigh. It must have been the Fu Family!
She could not blame them though. Whether it was Kevin or Selma, Anne knew they loved Cherry, not
herself!
In the evening, Kevin went home early. He was so curious about what Anne meant when she said that
she would make up for everything. The moment he entered the house, he saw her sitting on the sofa
while she ate oranges and watched TV peacefully.
He sat beside her and gazed at her up and down. Contrary to her usual self, her face was cold and
expressionless as she stared at the TV.
Kevin shook his head slightly and changed the channel using the remote control. But before he could
do so, his fingers stiffened on the remote.
On the TV was a variety show with a female guest whom Kevin was very familiar with. At that moment,
Anne sat up straight and stared at the TV more intently.
The female guest was dancing happily. Her features were so similar yet so different than those of
Cherry.
To be honest, the guest was more beautiful than her. Her features were flawless, and at the same time,
delicate. As she danced, her lips were curled in a beautiful smile.
Anne squinted her eyes to take a closer look at the woman. Suddenly, she realized that the woman on
the TV was none other than Cherry!
Since Cherry seemed to have been reborn, Anne turned to look at Kevin, who was in the utter look of
surprise. A sardonic smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "Kevin, you don't have to pretend. I
know that the girl on the TV is Cherry. I also know that it was you, who saved her out of prison."
Kevin turned around and looked at Anne in bewilderment. "What? Cherry has been released from
prison?!"
After Cherry was sent to jail, Kevin no longer paid attention to her. He did not even know anything
about her, until now.
Anne took his utter confusion for granted and nodded. "Of course. If she weren't released from prison,
then who is that girl on television?"
With a frown, Kevin got up and left at once. As she watched him go, Anne raised her eyebrows and
continued to watch the TV. She then held her chin and thought, 'Cherry is beautiful, isn't she?'
