Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 269

Anne got out of bed at once, ignoring what Kevin had just said.

He could only watch as she pushed open the door and walked out. Realizing that she treated Eddy better than him made him feel upset.

"Young master just woke up and said he wanted to see his mother, so I brought him to you," the servant explained as she handed the child to Anne. But Kevin got to him first.

Anne frowned. But before she could say anything in protest, her ex-husband exclaimed, "You're pregnant so you can't carry him for now. Don't you know that?"

It suddenly occurred to her that she really shouldn't be holding a heavy child in her arms given her state. All her common sense flew right out of the window as soon as she saw Eddy. It was a good thing that Kevin was there to remind her.

"No, no! I want Mommy!" Eddy struggled in Kevin's arms.

"You have to be a good boy, Eddy. It will just be a matter of days. Mommy will be able to hold you then," Anne whispered as she pinched her child's pink little cheek.

"Daddy will carry you for now, baby. Why don't we go and visit the playroom together?" Kevin offered.

He had prepared a big playground for Eddy at home.

But the child merely shook his head and cried, "No, Daddy..."

This rendered Kevin speechless. Didn't Eddy like him before? Why was he being rejected just then?

Despite feeling helpless, he tried his best to remain calm and patient.

"Put Eddy on the sofa. I won't carry him. I'll just talk to him," Anne said.

Even without seeing her face, Kevin could tell by her sweet voice that Anne was smiling.

He looked at the little boy in his arms and did as he was told.

Anne sat down on the sofa and held Eddy's hand. The child looked up at his mother with a big smile on his face. A drop of saliva escaped from the corner of his mouth.

She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. The tenderness of the moment almost made Kevin want to pull her into his arms and kiss her hard.

But all he could do was lift Eddy up and sit between them.

"You naughty little boy, stop asking for Mommy. She needs to have a good rest." Kevin spoke seriously.

But although he flashed a stern expression that often intimidated a lot of people, Eddy didn't seem to be afraid of his father.

He got up from the sofa, stepped over Kevin's feet, and crawled to Anne's side.

"Mommy, Daddy wouldn't let me sit beside you. Daddy is a bad guy," Eddy complained as he reached for his mother's hand.

Although he couldn't speak clearly, the seriousness of the child's expression brought amusement to Anne.

"Yes, you're right. Daddy's a bad guy. We're not like Daddy, are we?" Anne smiled so sweetly that Kevin really wanted to kiss her.

"Edward, do you know what these words mean?" Kevin said with a frown.

Anne looked up at him and said bluntly, "Eddy is just a child. Why are you so strict with him? It's only natural for a child to want to be with his mother. He won't like it if you won't let him near me."

"It's also in my nature to love you, and yet you're never gentle with me," Kevin replied. Jealousy was written all over his face.

Anne rolled her eyes, but deep down in her heart, his words actually made her happy. But she also realized that how horrible it was if she got used to these sweet words. That would make her lose herself and believe whatever he said.

"You're so annoying," Anne said in a low voice.

Her face turned red as she spoke coyly. She had always been a reserved person, and so Kevin was pleasantly surprised to hear her talk that way to him.

Thinking that it was the perfect time, Kevin took out a small box from his pocket and put it in front of Anne.

"Anne, now that you know my heart is sincere, let's get married. I've hurt you before, but I've tried my best to make it up to you. These days, we live together as if we're married, but I want to make it official and tell everyone that you are my wife,"

Kevin said sincerely. Hearing his proposal, Anne withdrew her gaze and turned to look outside. It was a bright, sunny day, and Anne felt as if she were floating on air.

Snapping back to her senses, she quickly replied, "I'll think about it."

"Why? Am I not good enough?" Kevin asked unhappily.

"I'm only three months pregnant. I'm not sure if you're only treating me well because of the baby," she pretended to be suspicious.

At this point, Eddy stood between them, effectively obscuring each other's view. This spoiled the romantic atmosphere.

Enraged, Kevin grabbed Eddy by his overalls and lifted him to the other side.

The child was already behind his father before he even realized what had happened.

"Mommy!"

Eddy wriggled down from the sofa to the soft carpet but fell down on Kevin's slippers.
