"She should feel lucky that she is pregnant with my child. Otherwise, I won't let her go easily for treating
you like this!"
With a snort, Kevin looked down at Anne, his eyes were fiery and intimidating.
"Kevin, I know you feel sorry for me, but don't be too angry. I don't want to see you like this,"
Cherry said pretending to be distressed. She clung to Kevin's arms with a sardonic smile on her face.
"Then let's leave her alone. Let's go!"
Kevin said in a cold tone. He didn't want to see Anne's indifferent face that made people want to tear
her apart, so he put his arms around Cherry's shoulder and walked away.
When he passed by Anne, he suddenly stopped. Cherry looked at him with a hint of worry in her
beautiful eyes.
"By the way, my mother is coming tonight. I think you should know what to do!" After saying that, he left
with Cherry in his arms. Anne was left no chance to speak.
She stood still, and waited until the two disappeared in front of her. She looked up to the sky and tried
to hold back the tears in her eyes.
She wouldn't cry for him anymore. There were no tears left to cry for him.
When she returned to her room, she changed into a more dignified and elegant dress. The light purple
dress made her fair skin more delicate.
There was no makeup on her face either. It made her look clean and comfortable. Since her features
were very delicate, even without makeup, she was still undeniably beautiful.
It was almost dinner time. Anne waited in the living room early. Although the people of the Fu Family
didn't like her, she was the nominal wife of Kevin, so she had to show respect for the elders.
Soon, footsteps were heard from outside the living room. Cherry held the arm of Kevin's mother,
Selma. The two walked in, talking and laughing.
When Anne saw them coming, she was surprised. Since when did Cherry become so familiar with
Kevin's mother?
However, at this moment, Anne had no time to overthink about it. She stood up and walked towards
Selma in a hurry.
"Mom…" Anne uttered the word awkwardly. She slightly lowered her head and didn't dare to look into
Selma's eyes.
Seeing the submissive look on Anne's face, Selma showed a look of disgust and impatience.
"Oh Mrs. Anne, your shelf is quite large, I didn't see you until I came in. I am welcome here, am I?"
Selma looked at Anne coldly with obvious repugnance on her face.
It was obvious in her very first sentence that she despised Anne so much. Anne slightly frowned and
said respectfully, while bearing the displeasure in her heart,
"No, mom, you are thinking too much."
Anne tried to hide her pain in front of them. Although Selma would no longer be her mother-in-law after
the baby was born, she still had to respect her before the divorce.
"Don't call me mom, Mrs. Anne. You should be very clear about the relationship between you and my
son. You two are just a contractual couple. After you give birth to the child, we will have nothing to do
with each other. So, you'd better stop calling me mom from now on."
In Selma's mind, a vain and vicious woman like Anne didn't deserve to be her daughter-in-law. In her
mind, the best choice for her son was Cherry.
She saw Cherry as a dignified, kind-hearted, and most of all a refined woman. There was definitely no
place for Anne in the Fu Family.
Anne's face turned pale in embarrassment. She was barely holding back her emotions.
Cherry felt so triumphant after witnessing how Selma hated Anne so much. She obviously hoped that
Selma would hate Anne even more. But she pretended to be a good person, and spoke for Anne,
"Auntie, Anne is pregnant with Kevin's child. She probably didn't pick you up because she was not
feeling well. Please don't be angry."
Cherry acted like she came from a humble family. She spoke softly, and her words were full of sincerity.
This just made Selma more satisfied and determined to be her future mother-in-law.
"Cherry, that's so considerate of you. I just came here today to check on Kevin. I didn't expect you to
pick me up personally. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Selma seemed to be an angel when she talked to Cherry. It was as if she became a completely
different person. Her smile was so sweet, and her eyes could definitely tell how much she wanted
Cherry as her future daughter-in-law.
"Auntie, how can you say that? You are Kevin's mother. It will always be my pleasure to treat you this
way,"
Cherry answered politely.
"Cherry, I'm liking you even more. If only you could give birth to a baby for Kevin, it would be perfect!"
Selma said with pity as she looked at Cherry's beautiful face.
If Cherry could give birth to a baby for Kevin, Selma would never let Anne stay with her son.
Cherry felt slightly disappointed with what she heard. She also wanted to conceive Kevin's child. If only
she was able to conceive, Anne would not have the chance to stay with him, and she would not be
worried every day.
"Aunt Selma, it's all my fault. I'm incapable…" Cherry lowered her head and bit her lip.
The fact that she wouldn't be able to conceive Kevin's child made her feel distressed. Even if they
ended up being together in the future, she will not be able to give him a child. She felt so anxious and
lacking at that moment.
"How can I blame you for this? It's all because of Kevin's blood. He needs a specific woman to give
birth to his child." Realizing that she had hurt Cherry's feelings, Selma hurriedly comforted her.
Anne just listened to their conversation. They were as close as family, while she was treated like a
complete outsider.
She lowered her head and smiled bitterly. She felt like a lost child, so lonely and helpless. She really
wanted to find someone she could rely on.
"Well, Auntie, let's not stand her anymore. Come on in and have a seat."
A hypocritical smile appeared on Cherry's face again. She held Selma's arm intimately as they walked
to the living room together.
"Were you planning keep me standing here and talking?"
Selma was even more pissed off when she saw Anne's expressionless face. At this moment, her tone
was somewhat acerbic.
"Mom… Auntie, let me make coffee for you." As soon as Anne called out the word 'mom', she quickly
changed her word and went into the kitchen to make coffee for Selma.
Selma stared at Anne with so much dissatisfaction as the poor girl went to the kitchen.
"Oh my God! She's a useless piece of crap. She doesn't even have the least bit of respect for the
elders!" Selma walked into the living room with an irritated look.
Cherry just followed her and sneered at Anne after hearing what Selma said.
"Auntie, Anne has always been like this since childhood. She is always cold to everyone. Don't take it
to heart. It's bad for your health," Cherry said softly as she sat next to Selma.
"Alas, if it weren't for the child, I wouldn't have let Kevin marry this vile woman. But don't worry, Cherry.
After she gives birth to the baby, I will let you marry Kevin as soon as possible."
Selma wished she could divorce Anne and Kevin soon. She couldn't wait for her son to marry Cherry.
However, for the sake of the child, Selma must hold her patience a little longer. She had to wait until
Anne gave birth to the baby.
When Cherry heard Selma's words, excitement flashed into her eyes.
"Really? Auntie, do you really approve of me and Kevin?"
If she could get Selma's support, even if Kevin felt a little affection towards Anne, it would be
impossible for them to be together because of Selma's disagreement.
"Of course I agree. If I can have a considerate daughter-in-law like you, I would treasure you all my
life." Selma looked at Cherry sincerely, clasping her hands.
When Anne came out of the kitchen after making the coffee, she happened to hear their conversation.
She could not help but feel bitter and scornful.
She had just been pregnant, and the Fu Family had already started to plan for the future. After she and
Kevin divorced, they would immediately let Kevin marry Cherry.
It was ironic for Anne, who was still Kevin's wife.
Ignoring the derisive look of the two women in the living room, she walked over calmly with a cup of
coffee in her hand.
"Auntie, would you like some coffee?" Anne's tone was indifferent. This time, Selma's attitude didn't
affect her at all. She had learned to hide her emotions for such a long time.
Selma rolled her eyes at Anne, picked up the coffee, and took a sip. However, as soon as she took a
sip, she suddenly spit it out.
"What kind of coffee are you making? This tastes so terrible!" Selma threw the cup of coffee on the
table.
"This is the coffee I bought from the supermarket some time ago. The coffee beans imported from
Germany have been sold out, so…"
Anne tried to explain calmly. In fact, when she made coffee just now, she found that the coffee beans
imported from Germany where missing, so she had no choice but to use the coffee beans she bought
from the supermarket.
"The coffee beans from the supermarket? Mrs. Anne, do you think I only deserve some cheap coffee
from the supermarket?"
Selma was just overly infuriated with Anne's answer. Her eyes were filled with disgust and anger
towards Anne. She felt nothing but hatred for Anne.
