In the Fu Family's house, Anne googled Cherry on the Internet after she had seen her on TV. She was even more surprised at what she read about her.
She discovered that Cherry had been out of prison for three years now and in those years, she had made a lot of connections. Her sweet appearance and exquisite acting skills quickly got recognized by fans.
“I get a headache every time I see Cherry.” The TV was playing with Cherry as the main character. Displeasure quickly flashed in Selma's eyes.
Turning to Selma with a smile, Anne said, “Mom, in this world, many things are predestined. I can neither fight nor take away what is destined to not belong to me. I understand now that I should return what I owe to others.”
Selma looked at Anne in surprise. She didn't know how to explain to a person who was just injected with medication.
At the side, Eddy's face contorted in turmoil. He was aware that the person his mother hated would become the one she liked and vice versa. Even then, he knew that she shouldn't treat Cherry so nicely.
After all, Cherry left a terrible impression on Eddy. If it weren't for that woman, his mother wouldn't have to suffer so much. Now…
A moment of hesitation held him back, but he slowly stepped forward. He held his mother's hand while she remained confused.
“What's wrong?” Curious, Anne asked with a smile. She rubbed his head while she waited for him to speak.
The boy frowned, looked at Cherry on the TV and firmly said, “Mom, that woman is a bad person. You shouldn't get in touch with her no matter what!”
The staunch request made Anne lose her smile. She looked at the gorgeous woman on TV and squinted slightly.
Figments of the past were slightly hovering in her mind but when she tried to focus on them, her memory persisted to be a little vague.
Cherry was Kevin's wife before. If it weren't for her harassing, a lot of things wouldn't have happened between them.
But from the point of view of Eddy, the disadvantages of having contact with Cherry were the only things he could see. He was repulsed to think about people like her.
Anne nodded and smiled at him. She then held him in her arms and coaxed him softly, “You're right Eddy.”
He wanted to say something more but ultimately decided against it. Anne was being absent-minded, so he had to shut up. He frowned and turned to look at Selma instead.
Powerlessly, Selma shook her head and went upstairs. What Anne did just now was completely beyond Selma's understanding.
Tonight, Anne spent her time watching Cherry's work while waiting for Kevin. The divorce had been delayed for a while now and she knew that she couldn't let it go on like this. She must divorce Kevin as soon as possible!
Watching the clock, Anne realized that it was already late at night. Still, Kevin hadn't come back yet.
She dialed his number with a slight frown. On the other side of the phone, Kevin answered in a tired voice, “Anne? What's up? Why aren't you asleep yet?”
