Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 465

Everyone looked at Paula's finger and saw droplets of blood oozing out.

In the past, Rose only cared about Kevin. She paid no attention to her daughter, for her mere existence had disgusted her.

Rose wanted to make up for her mistakes, so she showered her daughter with love and took extra care of her.

She kissed Paula's fingertip and smiled at her. "Paula, Sally didn't bully you. Didn't you ask her for the flower? She gave it to you because you liked it. My poor baby's finger is bleeding. Mommy will put a bandage and make the pain go away."

Anne sighed. Children of the same age had fights and conflicts. Moreover, Sally had been on her best behavior; she didn't bully Paula.

No one saw the thorn on the flower. It was a mere accident.

"Mom, I don't like to play with Paula. I didn't bully her. She is blaming me for no reason!" Sally whined. Everyone adored Sally at home. However, now they were at Paula's house. Sally had only fulfilled the little girl's wish by giving her the flower, but her reaction hurt her.

Anne kneeled down and wiped the tears on Sally's face. "Sally, Paula is your cousin, and she is the youngest one." She smiled. "That's very kind of you to give her the flower. You have done a good job, honey. I'm proud of you.

She is still a little girl and doesn't understand people's intentions. That's why she has misunderstood you, Sally. Being the elder cousin, you've got to be more generous and forgiving."

Sally frowned and looked at Paula. She was in her mother's arms, biting her bottom lip.

Sally looked away. She didn't like Paula and didn't want to play with her.

Both Anne and Rose were tired of dealing with kids. They were too young to listen to their parents.

"Rose, Paula's finger is still bleeding. Take her home and apply some ointment," Anne suggested.

Rose nodded and left with Paula in her arms.

Kevin and Mark exchanged glances, shaking their heads helplessly. Understanding children's behavior was beyond their comprehension, so they didn't bother interfering in the problem.

Fathers were always fond of their daughters, and Kevin was no exception. He loved Sally; the tears in her eyes broke his heart. Kevin swept his daughter in his arms and smiled. "Our little princess has been wronged, huh? Play with me, okay?" He flicked her nose playfully.

Sally wrapped her arms around his neck and nodded. Kevin smiled at Anne and began to play with the children.

Mark and Anne smiled at him in return and sat back in their chairs.

"Children at this age are the happiest. They don't have a care in the world." Mark took a sip of his juice and watched them play.

Children enjoyed every moment of their day, oblivious to the fact that they were creating everlasting memories.

Anne sighed and nodded. Just then, Rose walked out of the house with Paula in her arms.

Mark waved, gesturing for her to come over. He saw Paula's bloodshot eyes and smiled. "Naughty girl, why are you crying?"

Paula pouted and buried her face in the crook of Mark's neck. Rose looked at Anne and rolled her eyes. "Anne, poor Sally must be feeling bad. I will talk to Paula and ask her to apologize to her."

Everyone knew that Sally had been a loving cousin who gave her little sister the flower she had asked. No one could blame her for Paula's wound.

It was sheer accident.

Anne smiled. "That's all right, Rose. Paula is hurt. She is already sad. Sally is older; she will understand. Don't worry about it."

Rose turned her head to look at Kevin, who was playing with the children. A smile stretched across her lips.

Children had pure hearts and led simple lives. Perhaps as adults, they shouldn't interfere too much and change their perceptions.

As expected, after Mark's encouragement, Paula and Sally happily played together again, as if they never fought with each other.

Everyone was happy to see that the kids had reconciled.

Anne and Kevin returned home with their kids that evening.

Selma was happy to see her grandchildren again. She headed straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner, ignoring Anne and Kevin.

However, her attitude didn't bother them, for they were accustomed to it by now.

With her three precious grandchildren home, Selma wouldn't bat an eyelid at them.

Kevin had been disappointed in his mother at first. He even asked her if she cared for him. However, Selma's answer seemed to shut him up forever. She told him that she had wanted her son only to have grandchildren. Now that she was blessed with three adorable grandchildren, there was no reason for her to pamper him anymore.

Kevin had been upset about his mother's behavior for a long time. However, Anne found it funny and couldn't stop laughing for days.

Selma devoted all her time taking care of her grandchildren. Although Kevin missed the attention, as a father, he was happy that his mother adored his children.

He couldn't compete with little ones to get Selma's love.

That night, Anne sat at her desk and skimmed through Cherry's photos. She began drawing rough sketches of the outfits that might look good on her.

Although this wasn't the last chance to prove her talent, Anne didn't want to miss a golden opportunity that could reverse all the damages.

She had been trying hard to get rid of the bad image about her that had etched in the minds of people. If Anne proved her talent this time, everyone would change their opinion of her.

She put her heart and soul into designing the outfit for Cherry.
