Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 69

"Aunt Selma, I didn't mean that. I really just couldn't find coffee beans imported from Germany," Anne apologized sincerely.

She felt anxious as she looked at Selma's infuriated face. She tried her best to calm her down but it seemed like she really had nothing to do with a woman who despised her so much.

"Mrs. Anne, are you merely focused on yourself that you don't take me seriously at all? How could you entertain me with a coffee that even the servants don't drink?"

Selma didn't listen to Anne's explanation at all. At this moment, she was really burning with anger. She finally had enough reason to despise her even more.

"Aunt Selma, I..."

Anne wanted to explain for herself, but she couldn't find any reason. She saw the coffee beans in the kitchen a few days ago, but why did they suddenly disappear today? What was going on?

At first, Anne wanted to tell the truth, but she knew that Selma would not believe her, so she could only doubt it in her heart.

"That's enough, Mrs. Anne. If you don't welcome me here, I will never come here again!" Selma stood up and was about to leave.

Anne wanted her to stay, despite seeing her infuriated face. Cherry was always prepared to be in action. She had already stopped Selma before Anne could.

"Auntie, please don't be angry. I'm sure that Anne didn't intend to do that I knew that you were coming today, so I prepared some French coffee beans just for you. I didn't know if you would like them or not, so I didn't take them out until you got here."

Cherry was so used to being a hypocrite, so she had practiced well in showing her sincerest affection towards the people she wanted to grift. She showed her genuine kindness to Selma which made her satisfied even more.

Selma's anger subsided after being comforted by Cherry. She just glared at Anne when she sat down.

"Auntie, please wait for me here. I'll take them out now." After saying that, Cherry proudly glared at Anne as she quickly walked towards her own room.

Soon she handed some coffee beans to Anne.

"Anne, can you help me brew a cup of coffee for Aunt Selma? I have to stay here and talk to her, so I don't have time."

Cherry felt so triumphant today. It was like winning a jackpot prize. She gained so much praise from Selma today. She grinned cheerfully as she went back to entertain Selma.

Today, Anne had completely gave a bad impression on Selma. If Anne pushed herself to live with the Fu Family, she would totally have a hard time.

Although Anne knew that Cherry was showing off in front of her on purpose, she had no choice but to take the coffee beans from her.

Kevin's voice came as soon as she walked into the kitchen.

"Mom, who angered you just now? I heard that you were quite upset earlier."

Kevin came down the stairs, and stood in front of Selma. He looked rather dashing with a smile painted on his face.

Selma's face softened when she saw her dearest son, but when she thought of what Anne had just done, her eyes were still burning with anger.

"It's all because of Anne. She just gave me a cup of coffee that she just bought from the supermarket. She didn't take me seriously which made me feel so unwelcome."

Kevin frowned after hearing her mother's rants. His dark eyes flared with coldness.

"How could this happen?" Kevin raised his voice and narrowed his eyes in anger.

"Kevin, Anne is really going too far this time. How could she entertain Aunt Selma this way?"

Cherry ignited his anger with her words. Although this was all done on purpose, she sounded euphemistic enough to hide her ulterior motive.

Kevin had always thought that Cherry was mindful of his feelings. Hearing her words, he got even angrier.

"I see!" he said coldly. No one could figure out what he wanted to do to solve this matter based on the expression on his face.

"Auntie, the coffee is ready."

A few minutes later, Anne put the coffee in front of Selma. She felt more cautious at the moment because of what just happened. She was afraid that she would irritate Selma again in any way.

Selma rolled her eyes at Anne, picked up the coffee and took a sip of coffee.

"How is it Auntie? Is it good?" Cherry looked at Selma nervously and asked in a soft voice.

She put a lot of effort on it to surely impress Selma. She was afraid that Selma would be dissatisfied with whatever reason she might cause. It's hard to lose a treasure you already hold.

"It's good Cherry! You have great taste. I love it." Selma's words made her heart flutter in bliss. She was relieved that Selma was satisfied.

"As long as you like it." With a faint smile, Cherry held Selma's arm intimately while saying these words.

A faint smile appeared on Kevin's face as well when he saw his mother happy.

He glanced at the indifferent look on Anne's face, and a hint of coldness flashed into his eyes. 'This woman doesn't care about my mother at all. Is it because she doesn't care about me that much, so she treated my mother the same as she treated me?'

And also, she called his mother aunt just now. Didn't she know that the two of them were still husband and wife?
