Cherry was like a victor. Even though Anne was angry, she did not want to quarrel with her for the sake of her child.
"Cherry, no matter what happens, I'm still the mother of the baby. You can't change it. Besides, Kevin will discover how you treat the baby one day. I wonder what he would do to you when he learns that you hurt his baby."
Anne's word directly pierced Cherry's pride. Indeed, the child was Anne's, and she would never bear a child of Kevin in her life.
"So what if he finds out? That will be long after. Before you are driven away, I will take good care of this child."
As soon as she finished speaking, she left with the baby. Anne could not help looking at the baby in Cherry's arms.
Sam called and told her to put up with it. She nodded because she believed that he would find a way to help her.
In the outdoor lounge of the Fu Family, there was a bowl of bird's nest porridge on a porcelain bowl placed on a jade table.
The nanny was sitting on the sofa with the baby in her arms. Cherry picked up the bowl and ate slowly.
"Miss Cherry, it's time to give the baby medicine, isn't it?" the nanny asked.
Cherry looked at the clock and said softly, "Yes. You may go and bring the baby's medicine. I'll hold him first."
"Let me do it. I'm his mother." A crisp and obstinate voice came through, which made Cherry frown.
"But Kevin has put the baby under my care. I advise you to accept his wish. If you do something wrong again and get kicked out, I'm afraid you will never see the baby again."
She sat with her legs crossed. Her longs legs and fair skin made her seem noble. But as she looked at Anne, her eyes were full of ridicule.
She was best at taking advantage of people's weaknesses. She speculated that Anne would be mad and get into trouble because of the child. That was why she intentionally said that to annoy Anne.
But this time, to her surprise, Anne did not refute. Instead, she stared at the child quietly with deep eyes that Cherry felt hard to read.
This made her fretful. At the same moment, the nanny had just brought the medicine.
"Miss Cherry, here's the medicine."
With a small spoon in her hand, Cherry stuffed the medicine, which had been grounded into a fine powder into the baby's mouth, and caused the baby to cry.
"Miss Cherry, it's not like that. The medicine needs to be mixed with water, or else he will choke, and it would be bitter. The poor baby will cry continuously this way."
"Got it," Cherry said impatiently.
The door suddenly opened, and light came in. Anne was a little stunned. Who could it be this time?
She turned around and found it was Kevin. She just stared at him coldly.
Cherry also saw him. She immediately handed the child to the nanny and stood up with joy. "Kevin, aren't you at work? Why are you back so early?"
"I came back to see the baby. Is he feeling better?" Kevin looked at the expression on the baby's face. As a man, he did not understand the baby thing at all. The truth was, he was at ease knowing the nanny was taking care of the child. He only wanted to return to see Anne.
He thought that Anne would get angry, but she seemed to be odd that he could not figure her out at all.
"I don't think you came back just for him. The baby is always at home, but I never see you come home during work. Is there anything wrong?" Cherry asked cautiously.
"My mother already knew that my baby was sick. She might visit at any time," replied Kevin.
"Well, well, since your mother loves the baby so much, she must come very early this time. Do you want to let Anne leave first? Because it appears that your mother does not like her." Cherry pretended to be kind, but she was actually asking Kevin to drive her out.
"No way. After all, Anne is the mother of the child. Don't mention it again," he warned with a serious look.
"Yes, Cherry. Don't worry about me," Anne snorted.
She went back to her bedroom. Kevin turned and followed her in.
"Kev—" Before Cherry even finish her sentence, Kevin closed the door.
She clenched her clothes, and her eyes were full of trepidation.
The curtains in the bedroom were closed, making it very dark even in the daytime. The atmosphere gave people a sense of melancholy.
Anne entered the room and saw Kevin came in too, so she said frigidly, "Get out. This is my room."
She hated to see Kevin as she no longer wanted to have anything to do with him.
"This is my home," he declared.
He hated the way she kept a distance from him. On the contrary, he missed the time in the past when she was nice to him even if she feigned it.
Without saying a word, Anne turned on the computer and began to work on her design.
