At this point, Anne didn't want to argue any more. She had nothing more to say.
She just took out her business card from her pocket and slid it on top of the tablet. "If there's any problem, you can call me."
Back when Anne was taking care of Bob, the boy's mother had also given Anne her phone number because she worried that something might happen to him while she was gone.
Bob's parents frowned and lowered their heads. Neither of them said anything since the beginning until the end. It was then that Anne and Kevin decided to leave their house. They wouldn't want to intrude any longer.
Their house were bare and almost empty. There were only a few chairs and beds, and there was no TV set at all.
After Anne got into the car, exhaustion finally took over her face. Kevin, too, felt immensely tired.
They now headed back to A City.
As soon as they got home, Simon and Sally immediately rushed over to them. They both looked happy. Upon looking at their children, Anne and Kevin felt warmth pour down into their hearts. They couldn't help but hold their children close to them.
"You're finally back, mom! I miss you so much," Simon said, cheerfully. He then put his arms around her neck and kissed her on the cheek.
Smiling, she held her son tightly. On the other hand, Sally was already acting like a spoiled child in Kevin's arms.
Selma shook her head when she saw the scene the family was making. She couldn't help but compare the two ungrateful brats to her Eddy. He was definitely the best among them.
Sam and Emily had also returned to their home. They were both exhausted after the long journey, so they ate quickly and immediately went to bed.
The next morning while Kevin and Anne just had finished breakfast, Kevin's phone rang. Whenhe saw the number flashing on the screen, a flash of solemnness fell over his eyes.
"Peter, what's the matter?" Kevin asked coldly.
Ever since Kim left A City, Kevin no longer had his assistant monitor Peter. So now, he no longer knew what the other man was up to lately.
"I'd always thought AS Group would fall into your hands, but surprisingly, it fell into the hands of Kim instead. Are you free, Kevin? I want you to come visit you in your office." There was something very self-deprecating about Peter. He also sounded very casual without a trace of nervousness at all.
But when he mentioned Kim, Kevin immediately became wary.
"I'll wait for you in the office at around ten o'clock," he replied hastily.
He then hung up the phone, finally noticing that Anne had kept silent the whole time. "I should go with you to the company," she suddenly said.
