Looking at her eldest son whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Anne's eyes were full of love and melancholy.
Two years had passed. When Kim took her away, Eddy was about the same age as Sally now. They were all so adorable, bright and kind, but with a bit of determination in their eyes, which resembled Anne very much, and their eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Kevin's.
In the past two years, Anne had missed everything about Eddy. She hadn't witnessed and accompanied him growing up. These made her feel very sorry.
Eddy was already a big boy now. He could feel his parents' low spirits and their concern. He also cared about his sister, Sally. Perhaps, that kind of natural brotherhood between brother and sister was the only comfort for Anne.
"Sally." Eddy held his sister's face carefully as if she was a fragile doll. "I'm your brother. I'm very glad you can come back, so that someone can play with me. Let me protect you from now on, okay? "
However, Sally burst into tears.
"Mom, I want my brother!" Her brother was Simon, but she was not familiar with Eddy.
Kevin sighed and punched the wall with a loud sound.
Both Sally and Eddy were scared to cry.
Anne held back the sadness and worry in her heart and gently held the two children in her arms.
"Sally, Eddy. Don't worry. Dad and I will definitely bring Simon back. Can you trust me and Dad? "
Eddy nodded.
"Eddy believes in Dad and Mom. Sally stopped crying, okay? I'll take you to eat something delicious. "
"Kevin."
Anne let go of the two kids and walked to Kevin.
"It's not the time to be angry. We must find a way to save Simon. We have three children. Without any of them, our family would be incomplete."
Kevin fondled Anne's face lovingly.
"I know. Anne. Rest assured. You have suffered so much in the past two years. It's all my fault. I didn't save you early. Now, I was forced to give up Simon again. The five of us are a complete family, and there will be a moment of family reunion. "
Nodding her head, Anne finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Kevin gently held Anne in his arms and looked down at Eddy, who was still childish.
"Eddy, you are a big boy now. You need to take care of Mom and sister with me and bring your brother back, okay?"
Eddy seemed to feel his father's seriousness and then nodded vigorously.
"Good boy." Kevin touched Eddy's head with relief, "Prepare a bedroom for your sister, and then take her to get familiar with the house environment."
Eddy nodded, took Sally's hand, and took her away. As for Sally, although she still looked a little panic and uneasy, she was no stranger to her brother who just met.
"Look at them." Anne smiled unusually, "They are no strangers to each other."
Kevin didn't say anything for a long time, but suddenly held Anne in his arms.
"Anne." Kevin's voice choked with sobs, "I miss you so much."
Anne gently stroked Kevin's back, sad and delighted.
"Me too, Kevin. In the past two years, I have been thinking about how to escape and come back to you. Every day I think of you and fall asleep, and every day I wake up in the dream of you. But I know, Kevin. I know you are as suffering as me, so I can survive. And our children...is a pigeon pair."
At the mention of the pigeon pair, Kevin was overjoyed, but when he thought that Simon was still in Kim's hands, he felt a pang of pain. In order to comfort Anne, he had to bury his sadness deep in his heart.
Kevin held Anne's face as if he was holding his most precious treasure, and then kissed her passionately.
"Anne, you are back!"
Suddenly, a voice of Sam came from outside.
"Ahem..."
However, before Sam entered the room, he immediately stopped in embarrassment. "Sorry, I didn't know that you... but it should be, ahem...it should be."
Kevin was unwilling to let go of Anne. He regained his usual indifference.
"You know it's not the right time, don't you? Then why are you still standing here?"
With a slight blush on her face, Anne asked, "How are you and Emily doing recently?"
Sam nodded happily. "Everything is fine. Everything is fine. Our career was stable and our love was smooth. In the past, we hadn't had a good meal for several years because of you. But today, everything is fine. Shouldn't we have dinner together to celebrate your return? Mr. Kevin, shouldn't you celebrate Anne coming back?"
"Of course. I know it already."
Kevin looked at Anne with affection.
In fact, he had already made up his mind that he would take a temporary holiday after Anne came back. He would take her to the sea to see the stars. Then he would take her to wander around Cangshan Mountain and the Erhai Lake. He would go to her favorite place to cook her favorite dishes for her. But because of Simon, Kevin was unable to speak.
But how could time change. Saving Simon was not something that could be solved in a short while. Should Anne live so anxious and unhappy all the time?
