Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 466

Anne got busier with every passing day. She spent all her time designing Cherry's outfit.

Her entire routine had changed after she took up the project. Anne left early in the morning and came home late at night after everyone retired to bed.

Eddy was getting older. He had lots of homework and assignments to complete. Therefore, he went to bed early. He hadn't seen his mother for many days and missed her a lot.

Eddy was a sensible boy. He never asked for too much. Although the little boy missed Anne, he kept it to his heart and never complained. However, Selma was aware of her grandson's feelings. She understood that Eddy was suppressing all his emotions in his heart.

Selma looked at Kevin with a disgruntled look. "I understand that Anne is busy working hard to establish her company, but family comes first. The children are more important; she has to spend time with them regardless of how busy she is."

Selma didn't care about Anne's new company. Her grandchildren meant everything to her and she wouldn't compromise their happiness for anything in the world.

Kevin felt helpless because Anne had really been busy. They were getting closer to the ceremony, and he knew that his wife would be free after that.

"Mom, Cherry is nominated for the role of best actress. As her designer, Anne will be busy for the next few days. But she will get free once the ceremony is over. Please understand her." Kevin smiled apologetically and added more food to Selma's bowl.

The frown on Selma's forehead deepened. She glanced at Eddy and sighed. "Your mother has always wanted to be a designer. Now that she finally has the chance to prove herself, we all should be happy for her."

Selma understood Anne's situation but felt sad for her grandson as well.

Meanwhile, Anne was still in the office, oblivious to what was going on in her house.

She devoted all her time and energy into designing Cherry's outfit. She inspected every intricate stroke and supervised embroidery workers to embroider the dress.

Although Anne was good at conceptualizing and designing, she wasn't good at embroidery. Therefore, she hired the best embroidery workers to make the outfit.

Handmade dresses had a personal touch and looked more elegant. Therefore, she chose to craft every detail with hand.

Emily somehow found out that Anne had finished designing Cherry's outfit. After dinner, she asked Sam to take her to Anne's office.

Anne was happy to see Emily; her gaze instantly flitted to the woman's stomach. Emily had been pregnant for more than two months, yet her belly was still flat.

"Is this Cherry's dress?" Emily's eyes lit up in awe as she looked at the sketch.

"Yes, this is the one." Anne smiled.

"Oh my God! I never thought that Cherry could wear such a majestic dress." People had already developed an impression of Cherry after watching her performances. However, the computer generated pictures left Emily baffled.

"The audience will be amazed to watch Cherry in your dress," Sam agreed.

Everyone was aware of Anne's talent, but they didn't expect her to come up with a stunning design.

If Cherry appeared in this dress, she would outshine all the other female stars and captivate everyone's attention. Moreover, after the event, the world would realize Anne's talent.

"I hope so." Anne couldn't stop smiling, for the compliments boosted her confidence. From what Kevin had heard, four stars were competing for the title. The other nominees had also hired established designers. They would undoubtedly flaunt an opulent outfit at the red carpet.

Even though the dress that Anne had designed looked bold and unique, the talent of her competitors frightened her. She was worried that Cherry's dress would fade in comparison to the others.

Anne pursed her lips and wondered about what might happen if Cherry didn't win the 'best actress' award. No one would notice the woman and all her efforts would end in vain.

"Only three more days are left for the award ceremony." Anne rubbed her temples and sighed.

"Yeah, so what? Are you not confident enough, Anne?" Emily asked in shock.

She always believed that Anne was a confident woman. However, she was surprised to see the doubt and worry in her eyes.

Anne looked at Emily and smiled. "I have been researching about the designers who are designing the outfits of the other stars. I have observed their works as well. They all seem talented."

"Oh, come on. Don't even get to that. I have been looking at their designs at home to kill time. Their previous designs are nothing compared to yours!" exclaimed Emily, feeling proud of Anne.

Her remarks were not mere words of encouragement. She was stating the truth.

Anne shook her head, smiling. However, the smile disappeared when she looked at Cherry's photo.

"You are overthinking everything. Stop looking at her picture. Otherwise, you will lose confidence," Sam suggested, shaking his head.

Anne closed her eyes and nodded. He was right; she had been too nervous off late.

"Oh, it's so lively here." Just then, the door of the office opened, Anne's eyes lit up as she turned around. Kevin was standing at the door, holding Sally in his arms, smiling tenderly.

Eddy and Simon were standing beside him.

Kevin brought the children to her office so that she could spend time with them.

Anne's heart swelled with emotions. She smiled and waved her hand, gesturing them to come in. The children missed her so much, so they ran up to her at once.

Sally was also equally excited to see her mother, so she began jumping in Kevin's arms. He smiled and placed her to the ground. The little girl quickly ran up to Anne and hugged her tightly.

Seeing her children brought Anne a new sense of joy. She wrapped them in a tight embrace. The unique fragrance of milk brought a smile to her face. She closed her eyes, feeling complete.

Anne was ready to face any obstacles as long as she had her children and husband by her side. She considered herself as the happiest woman in the world.

"I'm sorry, I have been busy with work and didn't have the time for you guys. Everything is my fault. I won't do that again, I promise. Please forgive me." A wave of guilt engulfed Anne as she realized that she hadn't been there for her kids for days.

The task of designing Cherry's outfit had earned all her attention. Anne worked day and night. The kids would be fast asleep by the time she went home and wouldn't wake up until she left for work.
