The sun rose and its warmth began to spread across, instilling emotions of harmony.
In the yard, Anne was sitting beside the vine rack. The scattered branches and leaves blocked the scorching sunshine, but not completely. Several rays of sunshine penetrated through the gaps, caressing across her face gently.
There was a bottle of warm water next to the table where Anne was sitting, but she wasn't drinking. Pregnant women were supposed to drink plenty of water. It was good for their health, but she wasn't thirsty. The servant, however, did her duty and constantly brought it to her.
It was very quiet under the vines. After taking a nap, Anne heard heavy steps. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around. It was none other than Kevin.
At the sight of him, she felt quite embarrassed and closed her eyes. It was not the first time he had kissed her. But every time Kevin got intimate with her, she would feel shy.
He had reached close to her now. Anne couldn't feign sleep anymore, so she slowly opened her eyes.
Kevin was only five meters away from her. To distract herself, Anne quickly went for the glass of water on the table and drank it slowly. This relaxed her a bit.
Seeing Anne's behavior, Kevin felt that she was uncomfortable. He found her nervousness very attractive.
"Anne, did you have a good rest yesterday?" Kevin smiled. He was pulling her leg.
Anne blushed crimson at his words. 'Is Kevin doing this on purpose or am I overanalyzing his words?' she couldn't help but wonder. She had actually slept quite well yesterday. However, when she woke up in the morning, she began to feel embarrassed.
"Of course," Anne said and took another gulp of water.
"That's good. I think you sleep a lot better when I am by your side," Kevin said, a smile playing on his lips.
Hearing that, Anne rolled her eyes. Now it was sure to her that Kevin was teasing. He had been teasing her a lot lately.
"I guess so," Anne said in a low voice, gazing into his eyes. This made Kevin extremely happy.
"Then I'm relieved. Come with me and I will take you to see Eddy. We should stay there for a few days." Then Kevin reached out his hand and held Anne.
"Okay." As soon as she heard they were going to meet Eddy, she jumped at the opportunity. When Anne stood up, Kevin held her waist gently.
In the old house of the Fu Family, the sky blue carpet was painted with a large Winnie bear.
It was as large as a human being.
Eddy made sounds and played, pushing the toy train on the carpet. Accidentally, he stumbled and fell on the painting of Winnie bear. He sat on the ground with his hands and feet stretched out, but was disappointed at realizing that the Winnie bear painting was larger than him.
Selma stopped playing cards. Since Eddy came, her greatest pleasure was in taking care of her grandson.
"Eddy, come here," Selma said and waved at Eddy kindly.
"Grandma, I want to play a little longer," Eddy requested in a sweet voice.
He made a cute puppy face. Selma found it hard to say no. However, she was a woman who believed in punctuality. It was time for dinner and Eddy had to join them.
"It's time for dinner, Eddy. If you want to become as tall as Daddy then you shouldn't delay dinner." Selma walked up to him and tousled his hair.
On looking around, Selma realized that Eddy had torn apart the toy train. A frown creased her face.
Although she loved Eddy, she couldn't allow him to destroy things. Her frown deepened and she was about to reproach him. Before she could do it, Eddy did something shocking.
Since it was dinner time, he knelt down and pressed the scattered small parts of the train one by one. 'Eddy is less than two years old! How can he do all this?' Selma wondered, utterly shocked.
Selma couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart. After Eddy was done, she picked him up and said, "Eddy, tell me, did anyone teach you how to do it?"
Carl was very old and she was certain he hadn't taken out time to play with Eddy. All the servants knew Eddy's identity so they wouldn't dare to cross their limits.
Eddy shook his head, signifying nobody had taught him. Selma was sure that Eddy was indeed talented in this aspect. She smiled happily and said, "Eddy, you are really smart! You are capable of assembling a toy train! I will buy you lots of jigsaw blocks later," she promised.
As soon as Selma finished speaking, she heard Kevin's voice, "You won't have to. We have already bought them."
Hearing this, Selma raised her head and saw Kevin and Anne walking towards her. Kevin was carrying a bag full of blocks for his son.
"Mom, Mom!" When Eddy's eyes caught sight of Anne, he let go of Selma's arms and rushed towards her. Ten seconds later, he was in front of his mother, clutching her thigh.
Both Selma and Kevin were shocked. They were worried that something bad would happen to Anne. After all, she was still pregnant.
Seeing that Eddy wouldn't let go of her so easily, Kevin pulled Eddy by his suspenders and lifted him up.
