Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 343

Eddy's eyes widened as he heard the word his mother had uttered. He looked at her, his eyes full of surprise. 'What did my mother call my grandmother just now?' he thought.

Eddy knew about the conflict that was going on between his grandmother and mother. Even though he was young, he was quite capable of taking subtle hints.

He noticed they could never sit together peacefully. Every time they stood near, the atmosphere would suddenly turn hostile.

Once he felt terrible about this and asked his father if the two ladies would ever resolve their issues. His father answered that it was impossible for them to make up anytime soon.

But now, Eddy couldn't help but think his father had been wrong. Something definitely had happened to change the situation.

Anne looked at Selma quietly. Selma opened her mouth slightly and looked at Anne in surprise.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped ticking.

Kevin, who had just washed his face and calmed down, looked at them, a weird expression making its way to his face. The awkwardness in the room was palpable.

He looked at Eddy, hoping that the little boy would help him. Eddy simply winked at him and Kevin raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong with you?" he asked in confusion.

Turning around, Anne smiled at Kevin and said, "Nothing. We were just--"

"What did you just call me?" Selma, who didn't come to her senses until now, interrupted her. She stared at Anne with a frown.

Anne smiled slightly. "Mom."

This time, Selma heard it clearly. She was sure that Anne had called her Mom.

She couldn't help but wonder what had gotten into her. Why was she referring to her as mother?

Kevin, who was standing next to them, also looked at Anne in surprise. With a smile, Anne slowly held Kevin's hand.

Her soft hand caressed his and his heart warmed up. He held her hand back tightly.

He knew that everything Anne did was for him, his children, and the family.

Looking at Anne, Selma frowned and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start.

In such a situation, she had no idea what the appropriate words would be!

"Grandma, it's too late. Eddy is hungry. Let's have dinner together, okay?" Eddy held Selma's hand lovingly.

Holding Selma's leg, Sally echoed, "That's right. Grandma, don't leave. Let's have dinner together."

Selma raised her head and looked at Anne, who was looking at her with a smile on her face. Her eyes were warm, and her face no longer had that vigilant and hostile look.

Selma racked her brains but couldn't come up with an explanation for Anne's sudden shift in behavior. But she was glad that it was a good shift. It gave her an out from the awkward situation.

Too many things had happened between them. Selma had thought that they were destined to be enemies all their lives.

However, now Anne seemed to be trying to reconcile things. As an elder, it was beneath her to apologize to someone younger.

Selma let go of Eddy's hand with a smile. Her high-heeled shoes crick-cracked on the floor, its sound echoing. She raised her head slightly, like a proud peacock. After taking a few steps forward, she slowly turned around and glared at Anne. However, soon her features softened and a smile made its way to her lips. "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you come over and help me? Do you expect your Mom to serve you?"

She purposely used the word mom. It signified that Selma had accepted Anne as the daughter-in-law of the Fu Family.

Hearing that, Anne looked at Kevin with a smile on her lips. Kevin nodded at her, and she immediately stepped forward.

Looking at them disappear into the kitchen, Kevin couldn't help but smile. They looked harmonious indeed.

"It seems that tonight's dinner will be very delicious." Eddy raised his head and smiled at his father like an adult.

Kevin nodded in agreement. He could imagine how delicious the dinner would be.

"Really?" With her eyes wide open, Sally immediately said, "Then I will eat lots today."

Sally was still too young to understand adults and their conversation. At the mention of dinner, she indeed thought they were talking about actual food. At this moment, her nature of being a foodie was immediately revealed. She looked towards the kitchen expectantly, already wondering what the dinner would be.

With a helpless look in his eyes, Kevin lowered his head, held Sally in his arms, and strode forward.

Eddy sighed. His sister was really a foodie. She could be easily bought off with some good food.

Now, he really wanted to meet Simon. He wondered what kind of a person Simon would be. 'Is he going to be just like me?' he wondered.

Even though he hadn't had the tiniest idea, Eddy concluded that Simon would be a smart kid, just like Sally.

Anne and Selma started cooking together in the kitchen. At first, there was some silence between the two, but soon the silence was broken and Selma was talking and laughing.

Anne and Selma really enjoyed each other's company. 'I am so glad!' Anne thought. She was right to choose to forgive, otherwise, the resentments between them would be hard to soothe.

At the table, Sally enjoyed the meal. Everyone was happy to see her like this.

However, after dinner, Anne went to see Selma off alone.
