Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 246

In the hospital.

The examination room was very quiet. Sam had instructed people to leave the room because Anne was coming. Aside from the silence, the room smelled like disinfectant, so he opened the window. He didn't want Anne to be uncomfortable.

Anne held her baby, Eddy, in her arms. He looked cozy there. His mouth was slightly covered in bubbles because he was playing with his saliva.

"Hey Eddy, good boy. I'm going to examine you. It'll be a little cold but don't cry, okay?" Sam looked very gentle while he spoke.

"He's recovering well. That's probably because his parents are often with him these days." Sam smiled and tapped Eddy's forehead.

Anne was slightly surprised, so she asked, "Really? He's so young. He isn't even one year old yet. Does he really have feelings already?"

Besides, did the parents' company really have soothing effects to the baby?

"Of course! Even babies have feelings. When Eddy was still in your belly, there were times that you felt something move inside. That can count as him greeting you. The younger a child is, the more sensitive they are, and they grow up to be much healthier when they have parents close by."

"Oh, I see." Anne smiled and agreed with Sam's explanation.

"Let me drive you home. It must be hard for you to travel since Eddy is with you," Sam said thoughtfully.

"No, thanks. You must have something else to do here. I can go home by myself just fine," Anne refused.

"Hey, don't turn me down. I just want my nephew to go home early," he said jokingly.

Sam was being very kind, so Anne had no choice but to accept his offer.

While in the car, Anne was thinking about making an appointment with Kevin. She was in a daze as the car drove her home.

"What are you thinking about?" Sam suddenly asked.

A blush of embarrassment colored Anne's cheeks at the unexpected question. She didn't want him to know that she was thinking about Kevin, so she said, "Nothing."

But judging from her expression, it was easy to see that she was thinking about Kevin. Sam knew.

"Ask Kevin out and tell him to take the baby to the hospital when he's free. He's the father of the child. He should know something," he said.

Anne became nervous when she heard Sam's words. "Why? Is there anything wrong with Eddy?"

"What are you saying? I'm just thinking about finding a bone marrow that matches Eddy. It would be easier if Kevin handles all these. Eddy's health is good right now. You don't have to worry. I just wanted to be more prepared. It's for the best." Anne breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

She gently stroked Eddy's chest. She had a valid reason now to meet Kevin. She wouldn't have to be embarrassed when they met.

Noticing Anne's demeanor, Sam just smiled and kept silent.

In the East Mountain Villa.

Every single room was sprayed with an air fresher, so the surroundings were filled with faint ocean smell.

Standing in front of the lemon tree, Anne cut off its dead leaves with scissors.

She smiled lightly as she finished cleaning up the lemon tree. She then put down the scissors and called Kevin.

The call was answered quickly. Kevin's doting voice immediately came from the other end of the phone. "Anne, hello? What can I do for you?"

She could tell that there was a hint of expectation in his voice.

"Well, I took Eddy to the hospital to have a check-up today. Sam said he is recovering well but he has something to discuss with you. Let's meet him together when you're free," said Anne.

"Is this an invitation?" Anne could tell that he was gently smiling judging from the tone of his voice. It made her a little uneasy.

"If you don't have time, I can go by myself and just update you about what he said." Anne was about to hang up, but she heard a loud plead.

"Anne, don't hang up. I want to hear your voice," Kevin said seriously.

Anne chuckled at the request. "Kevin, it's not like you haven't heard my voice before, and if you really want to see me, then come back here."

A soft sigh was heard before he explained, "Anne, I have some business recently. I can't go back just yet, but I'll be there in a few days to see you."

Anne felt a little disappointed, but she tried not to show it. "Well, take your time. Eddy's health is good for now."

"Okay." When Kevin said that, Anne hung up the phone.

Although she wasn't talking to Kevin anymore, Anne still can't wipe the smile off of her face. She was aware of Kevin's intentions, and she also knew that his relationship with Rose was only for show. Anne was very happy with this information. She felt at ease. It was as if she had suddenly found her home.

In the Fu Family's house.

On top of the table laid a great variety of wedding jewels, clothes, and cosmetics. They were all shining and shimmering in the light.

Selma was sorting through the things to pick out what suited Rose.

"Rose, what do you think of this one?" Selma picked up a ring with a huge diamond and observed it carefully against Rose.

"They're all good, Mom. I want to go out," she answered.
