Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 236

There was a small boy on the stroller, his hands grabbing on to the edge so he could get a better look around. Since he was still such a small child, he was still struggling to make coordinated movements. Nevertheless, the tireless smile on his pink face did not waver.

"Eddy," Anne called out. Warmth surged up in her heart as she saw her son. She had been thinking of him day and night, and the sight of him made her feel incredibly excited.

By the time Eddy saw her, she already had her arms wrapped around him.

However, being separated from his mother for a long time, he was no longer as familiar with her as before. His big eyes looked up at Anne curiously as his smile slowly faded away.

Anne gently cradled him closer to her. With his ear against her chest, he could hear her steady heartbeat. There was a sudden feeling of familiarity when he heard her heart. Raising his head, he looked up at Anne and tilted his head.

"Ma..."

Even though his words weren't that clear yet, Anne couldn't help but beam widely.

It didn't matter if this little child said 'mom' or 'marsh'. What's important was that he still recognized her and tried to talk to her.

"You haven't seen me for such a long time, Eddy. Did you miss me?" Anne asked as she gently caressed his smooth cheek with her finger.

As if by instinct, he boy pressed his face against her hand as he flailed with joy. His sweet laughter rang melodiously in the air.

The sight of this little boy made her heart melt. At that moment, she felt that her persistence had been all worth it.

"Daddy," Eddy suddenly chirped.

All of a sudden, Anne's hands stiffened. Why did he call out for his daddy out of the blue?

Was Kevin taking care of Eddy when she was absent?

For a brief moment, she felt a pang of sadness. Her son was the most important thing to her, and now it felt as if that had been taken away from her.

However, she then thought that there was no need to be this unreasonable and selfish. After all, this showed that Eddy must have gotten along with Kevin really well, and that Kevin was being a good father.

"Don't call me daddy, sweetheart. I'm mommy, okay?" With a soft smile, she planted a soft kiss on his forehead.

Eddy's big, bright eyes blinked at her, seeming to be concentrating hard on something. After a while, he lowered his eyes, his cheeks as pink and delicious as a peach.

"M... mommy."

Hearing his clear voice, Anne felt a bit relieved. 'Maybe it's all just a coincidence,' she thought. 'Maybe he just learned that word from somewhere. Besides, Kevin's servants were always the ones taking care of him. They probably always taught him to call dad first.

Soon, her thoughts began to spiral. 'Maybe Kevin didn't treat Eddy well at all. No one was there to stop him anyway.'

"Anne, what are you thinking about?" she sighed quietly to herself. "You can never expect anything good from that guy, can you?" Hugging Eddy closer to her, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to clear her thoughts.

In AN Group.

The floor to ceiling glass walls, the leather sofa, and the overall minimalist design made the office of the CEO exhume with class and elegance.

Despite its noble appearance, it went without question that Kevin was still the most formidable thing in that office.

He wore a black, tailored suit. There was a cold aura surrounding this man as he sat behind his desk.

There was a constant, intense look on his face. His angular jaw and high nose were sharp and defined. Whether he was busy at work or was just casually looking around, it looked as if his face was always ready to be shot in some big, blockbuster movie.

No one except Daniel had the courage to approach him.

"Mr. Kevin, here's the document you wanted," Daniel said.

"Hand over the cooperation work with Hess Group to Director Gao and let him be fully responsible for it. If he fails to accomplish this, fire him at once," Kevin responded in a desolate tone. It was as if he was speaking about something as casual as the weather, and didn't even bother to look up from his desk.

"But Mr. Kevin... Director Gao's father is one of the AN Group's major shareholders. Wouldn't this put our company in jeopardy?" Daniel said.

If it was just an ordinary employee, that person would get fired immediately once a mistake had been made. However, Director Gao had a very powerful father.

"Why? Do you think it would jeopardize the company?" Kevin raised his head and glanced at Daniel with an imposing manner.

"Not at all, Mr. Kevin," Daniel replied, trembling slightly. "But if we do something like that, Director Gao's father might target the AN Group."

"Don't worry about that. He just holds two percent of the shares of AN Group. If he's no longer a part of our company, there won't be any heavy repercussions. Just let him go," Kevin said, lowering his eyes.

Suddenly, Daniel understood Kevin's intention.

Director Gao didn't really have the best work ethic nor did he have an outstanding record. The only reason he held a position at this company was because of his father's power. Things would have been alright, if only greed had not gotten the better of them. They had embezzled a large amount of money from the company's public funds.

In the end, all of the blame was put on Director Gao. In Kevin's eyes, those two were nothings but cowards.

There was no excuse for their actions. At this point, Kevin saw that nothing else could be done but to kick out the father-and-son duo from the company for good.

"I understand, Mr. Kevin. But if he leaves, we will still lose a lot of money, even if it's just two percent of our shares," Daniel bargained.

There was indeed a lot of money in the AN Group, and two percent of their funds was really a considerable amount of money that they would lose.
