Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 156

"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.

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.
