If only Anne was normal, Selma would be at ease. Unfortunately, she was not.
Selma treasured her grandchildren so much. Though she knew that they were Anne's biological children, she was still worried about them. In the end, she decided it was better to follow the children's mother.
Anne knew about this, but she did not care. She decided to take her three children to the shopping mall.
It was Selma who had provided the children's basic needs most of the time. But now, Anne wanted to handle the children's affairs by herself.
Sally and Simon grew up together, so they liked to play with each other. Now that they were together again, they held hands and jumped happily. Their other brother, Eddy, was beside them. He was walking alongside Anne, an apparent worry in his eyes.
Although Anne was different, it was still better to follow her.
"Mom, look, a beautiful dress! I think this would look good on Sally. What do you think?" Anne asked Selma as she walked towards the cute dress.
Surprised, Selma raised her eyebrows. This was the first time Anne called her "mom" since she came back.
She heaved a sigh, a feeling of anxiety in her chest. She had no idea when Anne would return to the way she used to be.
With a frown, Selma scrutinized the dress in Anne's hand and shook her head in disagreement. "Although the fabric is soft, it's cheap. As a child of the Fu Family, how can Sally wear this kind of dress?"
Selma loved luxury. As a matter of fact, the children's clothes, which she had bought herself, were all very expensive.
Anne frowned upon hearing her mother-in-law's remark. Although Selma had already expressed her disagreement, Anne still placed the dress in front of Sally and looked at it. Satisfied by what it had turned out on her child, she bought it.
If it was in normal times, Selma would definitely scold Anne. But right now, she could not protest further.
While they were in the section of the children's products, Anne and Emily bumped into each other.
Emily looked at Anne in surprise and disbelief. If she had not bumped on her friend, Emily would not have known that Anne had already come back.
She scanned Anne from head to toe, which put a frown on Anne's face. Looking at the woman in front of her, Anne could not figure out if she liked or hate her.
"Anne, when did you come back?" Emily had always regarded Anne as her sister. But now...
With a sneer, Anne answered Emily's question mockingly, "You used to be kind to me and you treated me as your sister. How could you call my name indifferently? Emily, you must be jealous, and your jealousy must be driving you nuts."
Anne's sudden mockery made Emily wide-eyed in disbelief.
Selma frowned upon hearing Anne's response. She then grabbed Emily's arm and whispered an explanation, "Anne was drugged by Kim, so she is different than before. As you can see, she's opposite of what she truly is. The true Anne wouldn't say these kinds of things. Please don't be angry with her now in this special period."
With a frown, Emily turned around and gazed at Anne's back. All of a sudden, a bad feeling emerged in her heart. She calmed herself down and asked Selma, "When did Anne come back?"
"The night three days ago," answered Selma without a second thought.
A cold feeling washed over Emily's body. She staggered a few steps back and leaned against a wall for support.
Three days ago, when she went to bring some night snack to Sam, he was absent-minded for a long time. Even when she left, he did not go after her. That made her extremely sad. She even thought that if Sam did not love her anymore, she was still his wife. He still needed to comfort her. However, up until now, she still had not gotten a call from him.
No wonder he seemed so distressed. As it turned out, Anne had come back, but was injected with a drug just as they had anticipated.
'Sam, you don't have to say anything now. I know everything. In your heart, I'm incomparable to Anne.'
"Emily, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" asked Selma while looking at Emily in confusion.
Emily shook her head. But seeing Anne's expression, she walked over towards her. With a frown, Selma followed Emily immediately.
"Anne, it's nice of you to come back safely. Anyway, I want to ask you something. Do you really hate Kevin so much?" whispered Emily, but her lips were curled into a smile.
Because Emily was so close to her, Anne took a step back, and she answered unhappily, "Yes! I hate him so much, but it has nothing to do with you."
Everything that Anne said was actually contrary to what she believed.
For some reason, Emily suddenly liked what Kim had done to her friend. With a sly smile at the corners of mouth, she shook her head deliberately and said, "I wonder if Cherry has a good time in prison."
Cherry?
An image suddenly flashed through Anne's mind, making her put her hand on her forehead. Once upon a time, Kevin's wife was Cherry, and the woman had once competed with her over him.
Since Cherry was Kevin's wife, they were destined to be together. She was wrong to fight for Kevin and send his wife to prison!
Everything was all her fault!
Damn it! Why did she have to make such a big mistake at that time and send Cherry to jail?
If it were not for Kevin, she and Cherry would not have reached a state of stalemate. For some reason, she liked Cherry with all her heart.
Only when she came back to her senses did she realize that Emily had already left. She lowered her head to the ground, and her internal struggle could be seen in her eyes.
If she begged Cherry for forgiveness and returned her to Kevin, would Cherry forgive her?
