Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 473

Kevin's brow furrowed; he shook his head to retort, but Anne smiled and interrupted him. "Mom, you are right. Kevin sounded a bit rude because he, too, misses Eddy. Please don't take it to your heart."

Selma glared at Kevin. He was her son, so she didn't mind his attitude. She picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, the two kids ate in silence. Once Selma finished eating and went upstairs, Simon and Sally ran up to their grandmother.

Catching on Anne's hint, they played with Selma to comfort her.

Anne and Kevin looked at each other, sighing helplessly.

After dinner, Kevin held Anne in his arms and watched TV in the living room.

The two watched soap operas every night after work.

Anne suddenly looked at Kevin. "When shall we take Eddy back?" she asked hesitantly.

They had to talk about it sooner or later.

Kevin placed Anne's hand on his lips and kissed it. "I respect Eddy's decision." He smiled, shaking his head. "He is young but has his own ideas and principles."

His was proud of his son for his choices and decisions. All of this will help to mold his character and make him eligible to take over the family business in the future. He would grow into a successful business man and bring glory to the Fu Family.

Anne sighed and nestled closer to him. She, too, was proud of her son, but dealing with Selma seemed like the hardest task right now.

"According to our original plan, I will go to H City the day after tomorrow. If Bob's mother is in a stable mood, we can bring Eddy home and probably take him back to them when we get the time," Anne said after careful thinking.

Kevin nodded in agreement. He would never disagree with his wife.

"Well, I don't have much work the day after tomorrow. We can go together to pick him up." Kevin smiled and kissed the top of her head.

Anne smiled in return.

It was soon the day they had planned to bring their son home. Anne and Kevin set out to H City early in the morning, and to Selma's joy, met Eddy.

Once Bob's mother regained consciousness, the doctors permitted them to take her home. Their family couldn't afford the medical expenses, so they decided to take care of her at their place.

Eddy had sufficient money in his savings account to meet the medical expenses. However, Bob's parents refused to accept it. Eddy had no choice but to respect their decision and go home with them.

Eddy grew up in the magnificent villa of the Fu Family. Living with Bob's parents, in their humble abode, felt different. He felt sorry for the couple.

Their poverty was not a result of their lethargy, but because they had spent all their savings on Bob and his brother. They worked hard day and night for their children but got nothing in return.

Although Eddy had to sacrifice his comfort at their place, the couple tried their best to keep Eddy happy.

The house paled in comparison with the Fu Family's residence, but Eddy felt an unprecedented joy there.

The boy squealed with joy when he saw Anne and Kevin. He ran up to his parents and swept them into a tight embrace. Anne held her son close to her bosom as her heart swelled with emotions. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, enjoying the feel of holding her son in her arms.

Kevin stretched his arms, sweeping his son and wife into a tight hug. A smile stretched across his lips as he felt complete.

Bob's parents exchanged glances, feeling helpless. Eddy had only lived with them for a few days, but the brief period reminded them of the bittersweet days they had spent with their son, Bob. They had forgotten the reality and enjoyed every moment with him, hoping it would last a lifetime.

However, Eddy could never replace Bob. Their son was dead. The boy in front of them belonged to someone else.

Only Anne and Kevin had full rights over him.

They had come to take Eddy with them. Therefore, it was time to let the boy go.

After a while, Anne released Eddy from the embrace and pinched his cheek. His flesh somehow felt plumper under her fingers.

When Anne let Eddy stay with Bob's parents, a voice in her heart told her that the couple would take good care of her son.

She was right.

Taking care of Eddy at a tough phase in their life wasn't an easy task. However, the couple had made sure he was healthy and safe with them.

Anne sighed and looked at Bob's parents.

Bob's mother looked at her with teary eyes. She sniffed loudly and took a deep breath. "I'm going to pack up Eddy's things."

She turned on her heels and left the room.

Anne looked at Kevin, who looked equally upset. They understood that the woman had left the place to hide the tears streaming down her cheeks.

Bob's father forced a smile and asked Anne and Kevin to sit down.

The couple had already sold the sofa. Only a couple of chairs and a small bench were left in the house.

Without any hesitation, Anne and Kevin sat on the bench. Eddy snuggled up against Anne's chest.

"Eddy has already spent many days here. He needs to go to school. We can't waste too much time." Anne sighed helplessly.

She wanted to tell them that they wanted to take Eddy with them. However, saying the words out loud seemed harder than she had imagined.
