Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 204

When they arrived home, it was already midnight. The air was thick with fog making the villa faintly visible from a distance.

Kevin parked his car in the garage. Just as he was about to grab Anne's hand, he found that she was no longer there.

Disappointed, he knew that it was inevitable for Anne to be indifferent towards him.

As soon as he entered the living room, he spotted Anne who got up at the sight of him. She closed the door behind him in a seemingly deliberate manner.

It didn't take a genius to notice that she was purposely avoiding him.

Still, he knew this was what he had to do if he wanted to see Anne.

The lights in Anne's room had turned off. The curtains were drawn as darkness enveloped the room.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She felt disgusted at the idea of being in the same house as Kevin. She didn't know how long she would be able to stand this.

Sighing, she tried her best to fall asleep.

When she woke up, she was glad to find that Kevin had already left.

This time, Selma came early. When she did, Anne was having porridge in the dining room.

The bright sun seemed to dim in Selma's presence.

"Anne. I apologize for what happened last time," Selma said in a small voice.

Anne merely ignored her as she continued to eat her porridge.

"Don't worry, Anne. The baby is with me and your grandfather is taking care of him." The fake smile plastered on Selma's face made Anne sick to the stomach.

However, the mention of Eddy caught Anne's attention.

"Now I've got your attention." Selma flashed her a light smile.

"Stop acting like that. I'm afraid it might kill me. You don't need to pretend," Anne said coldly.

"You..." The pleasant look on Selma's face almost morphed into her usual cruel self but when she recalled what Carl had said, she reverted back to the charming facade.

"Just say what you want to say. We both know what kind of people we are. We hate each other. Why do you have to act like that? It's sickening." Anne's bleakness made Selma furious.

Anne had always been ungrateful. Selma was trying her best to be nice to her yet she was still mocked.

"Eddy's condition has only been getting worse. Sam flew abroad for work but the doctors in the hospital are very credible. They said that Eddy's health is failing. If he can be treated early enough, he can get better. We should work hard. We can't wait until he's four or five years old." As soon as Selma finished speaking, she noticed the grave expression that clouded Anne's face.

She could tell that Anne was upset.

After all, Anne was a mother who loved her son very much.

Even though Selma blew the whole thing out of proportion, there was still some part of it that was true. She refused to believe that Anne wouldn't agree.

Selma had already decided that Kevin was going to marry Rose. She never once considered how Anne would feel about it. After all, they were already divorced. Anne shouldn't even be an option anymore, and she had no control over Kevin anymore.

"Where is he now? Is he at the hospital or at home? I want to see him," Anne said.

She seemed visibly shaken. She felt sorry for her child who had been suffering from his illness that was only getting worse.

"If you promise me, I'll let you see him," Selma said tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Anne sneered inwardly. Kevin and Selma were indeed family—they both used the same methods to threaten people.

"Well, I can't decide on anything until I see Eddy. Worst case scenario, I'll take my child with me. I don't want him to grow up under the influence of terrible people like the Fu Family."

"You..." Selma was too angry to utter a word.

In the end, she changed her mind. She figured it wouldn't make a difference if she let Anne see the child anyway. It would only speed up the process of Anne agreeing to Kevin and Rose's marriage.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

The old house of the Fu Family had been turned into a playground.

Toys were hidden everywhere as the glass house was elegantly designed to be above water.

It had been renovated ever since Eddy came to the old house.

Since the two had nothing to do at home, they were happy to take care of Eddy.

It wasn't hard to believe that the Fu Family cared about Eddy very much. Even then, Anne couldn't shake off the chilly feeling that enveloped her entire body any time she was around the Fu Family.

"He's in his room. Go and see him yourself." When Selma opened the door, Anne immediately saw Eddy.

Eddy was lying in bed. The bed was covered with light blue sheets designed with floral prints. A transfusion bottle hung by the bedside while a small bottle of medicine could be seen on the table—medicine to keep Eddy healthy after the transfusion.

Still, Eddy was noticeably thinner than before and Anne immediately observed this.

As she saw his little hands and little feet, her heart softened.
