"Okay!" Looking at Kevin, Selma nodded and shouted, "My son! My dear son!
It looks like you are completely hypnotized by this woman. You can't even tell the difference between right and wrong. In that case, I think it's better if I go far away and never appear in front of you again!"
After speaking, Selma began to walk towards the door.
Kevin frowned and felt a piercing headache. His mother had never been so hard to deal with.
Eddy, who was hiding in the corner, shook his head helplessly and ran out to hold Selma's leg.
Selma lowered her head to see who it was. When her eyes caught sight of Eddy's big and watery eyes, her heart softened.
"Grandma, don't go. Eddy won't let you go," Eddy pleaded, his eyes welling up with tears. He looked at Selma pitifully.
He grew up around Selma, so she loved him very much. As she saw Eddy look so miserable, the anger inside her dissipated. She squatted down and held him in her arms.
"Act like a big boy. Please don't cry. I won't leave. I will always be with you, Eddy."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Anne let out a sigh of relief.
Selma truly loved Eddy.
Selma was Kevin's mother and her mother-in-law. Their strained relationship was making things quite difficult for Kevin.
Moreover, AN Group would also suffer if this news spread.
Anne walked towards Selma with Sally in her arms.
Frowning, Selma looked at Anne and held Eddy tightly, her eyes full of vigilance.
With a sigh, Anne said to Sally in a soft voice, "Sally, this is your grandmother. Talk to her."
With her eyes wide open, Sally looked at Anne. Then she slowly turned around and her eyes fell on Selma. Softly, she said, "Grandma."
For a long time, there was only Eddy in the family. But now, she was blessed with a beautiful granddaughter. Internally, Selma was brimming with happiness.
When Selma heard Sally's voice, she was quite touched.
Instinctively, she reached out and held her in her arms. A smile appeared on Selma's face. Softy, she said, "Sally, I'm sorry that I scared you this morning. Don't be afraid of me. I will take good care of you in the future. Okay, honey? I sincerely apologize."
Kevin smiled watching the spectacle unraveling before his eyes. Selma might act unreasonably at times but he had to admit she was very good with children. Moreover, she rarely apologized. This went to show how sincere her apology was.
The harmonious shift in the atmosphere brought a great deal of joy to Kevin.
"Mom, I know you did all this for my own good, but I really hope you will accept my decisions." Kevin paused to hold Anne's head. He went on, "I know you don't like Anne very much, but she has given birth to three children. Can't you accept her at least? Think about your grandchildren. I want nothing but for us to live happily."
Selma looked up at her son in surprise.
Her son was a cold man, and it was rare for him to show his emotions. However, today he was pleading.
"Grandma, I not only want Grandma, but also father and mother. We are a family. We shouldn't be apart," said Eddy, holding Sally's hand.
Confused, Sally immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma, I want all of us to be together."
"Ha-ha..." Selma couldn't help but smile at Sally's innocence. Clearing her throat, she said, "Anne, to be honest, I don't really like you. But now, for my son and grandchildren, I'm willing to give you a chance. If you don't do well, then it will be your fault. I am willing to give this relationship another chance."
At this point, Selma finally understood that if she continued to make things difficult for Anne, not only her son, but also her grandson and granddaughter would hate her.
She had a lot to lose. There was only one choice and that was to give Anne another chance.
Anne was taken aback by her words.
Eyes filled with joy, Anne started nodding her head.
"Mom, don't worry. I will try my best to prove myself a good daughter-in-law," she promised. Her tone was confident. Since she could even excel in something so difficult as designing, she believed that as long as she worked hard, she would impress Selma and make her really accept her one day.
Selma glanced at her with disdain. Not wanting to make her distain obvious, she went upstairs with Sally and Eddy in her arms.
As Anne looked at Selma's receding figure, a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
Kevin shook his head and said, "My mother is a wise woman."
Nodding her head, Anne poured herself a glass of water and moistened her mouth. "Today, you didn't take your mother's side. You mother seemed to understand the adversity of the situation. She can see that if she continues to make trouble like this, she is the one who will have more to lose."
Even though Selma pretended like she was being easy on Anne, it wasn't the case. She did it only for her son and grandchildren. She compromised, but in fact, it was a win-win result.
By now, Sally had overcome her fear of Selma. Selma, on the other hand, was already growing fond of her. She now had a lovely granddaughter, and had made peace with her son.
Kevin took the cup from Anne's hand and said, "Isn't this the best result?"
Anne nodded her head. Indeed things had fallen back to place. She was very grateful for that.
However, they had more important things to do now as Simon was still in Kim's hands. 'Is Simon being treated well?' she couldn't help but wonder.
Anne kept telling herself her son would be fine. But her motherly heart insisted on being worried.
Kim did a great job at hiding his whereabouts. Kevin did everything he could but failed to find where they were.
"Don't worry. Kim hasn't achieved his goal yet. He will take good care of Simon. Even if we don't look for him, he will come to us one day," Kevin assured her.
Anne was worried but managed to nod her head.
"Anne, how about we take advantage of the time we have and recuperate Sally's body and give Eddy her bone marrow?" Kevin suggested, looking straight into Anne's eyes.
Frowning, Anne looked out of the window. The sun was setting, and the surrounding sky was dyed light red. It looked quite beautiful.
The reason why she gave birth to Sally and Simon was to save Eddy.
Eddy was her son and she was determined to keep him alive.
