Anne looked at Kevin wide-eyed. His behavior seemingly caught her off guard. She thought this man
would speak for Cherry as before, but what he did today was unusual.
With Kevin's fingers interlocked with hers, Anne did not resist. When she saw the hatred in Cherry's
eyes, a hint of provocation flashed through her charming eyes.
Although she knew that being with Kevin would be by no stretch of the imagination a possibility, Anne
didn't want to concede in front of this woman.
The two of them passed by each other in a seeming standoff. Anne saw clearly the ill will in her eyes.
Cherry mentioned before that she was worried about her, but all she was truly worried about was her
comeback.
They went to the nursery on the second floor. As soon as Anne stood by the door in the hallway, she
heard the baby's cry.
Her heart skipped a beat like a hiccup. At that moment, she didn't know how to describe her emotions.
The only thing that was standing in between her and her son was the powerless door in front of her.
Her hands trembled in anxiety.
Would her child's angelic face greet her as soon as this door unlatched? Was she dreaming?
Anne found herself quivering in front of the door. She didn't have enough courage to open it for a while
because everything felt like a dream, that as soon as she pushed the door, she would wake up from
her sleep.
Kevin had no idea what was going on in her mind. She never saw this little woman hesitate this much;
he couldn't help but feel bad for her. Didn't she pray for this day to come? Why was she dubious about
seeing her child?
"Anne, don't you want to see you baby? Do you regret being here?" Kevin raised the question in a
somewhat gloomy tone as he looked at the tangled expression on Anne's face.
"No, I didn't. I'm just afraid that this is all but a dream. If I open that door, then my consciousness would
take over my body and I'd wake up."
Anne spoke with mixed emotions. She was excited but fearful. The confusion reflecting in her eyes was
obvious.
When Kevin heard what she said, his heart shook like a leaf and the feeling of heart ache crept into his
heart. Had he gone too far to make this woman mistake reality for a fantasy?
Not having enough patience, Kevin opened the door by himself. The baby's cry resonated louder which
made Anne more anxious.
She strode over slowly, taking her time, before reaching out to the baby clutched in the maid's arms.
She gently tucked the boy in her warm embrace, and it felt surreal. It was him. It was her son. She
really saw her child and now she was holding him in her arms.
She examined the baby's features. She thought that he looked very much like his father, a mini-Kevin.
She knew that when he grew up, he would be just as handsome as his dad.
This little baby in her arms was so small. His face was about as big as a palm, but he was particularly
beautiful. His big eyes were pure and full of life. She was so fond of him that she could not take her
hands off him. It was her son, such a lovely boy.
She had dreamed of her child countless times, but his face was always a blur. Now, she finally saw his
image crystal clear.
Perhaps the child had felt a motherly embrace and gradually stopped crying. He looked at Anne with
his little eyes and flashed a captivating smile.
For the first few minutes, the baby was wailing and seemed tense. But as their eyes converge, Anne
raised a smile from ear to ear and her joyful tears came falling. Alas, they finally met.
Kevin's heart clenched upon seeing Anne's happy tears in this blissful moment. He felt terrible. He
really regretted treating her like that.
"Why are you crying? Aren't you happy to see the baby?"
Cupping her face, Kevin wiped the tears on Anne's cheeks with a gloomy face. Why did this woman
become so emotional? She could have been ecstatic when she saw the child, but she chose to cry.
Kevin's movement seemed rude, but there was gentleness in his strength. He was afraid that he would
scrape her. The tears of this woman made him inexplicably irritable, yet remorseful.
"Of course, I'm happy to see the baby."
Raising her head to look at Kevin, Anne spoke is a trembling voice. Apparently, she was still at the
height of the moment.
Kevin's face took a peculiar turn and said in a low voice, "I will let you see your child every day for as
long as you want. I wouldn't stand in your way from being with him."
He didn't want to see the painful expression on her face.
"Really? I can see my baby every day?"
Anne asked uncertainly, shocked by his words. She thought that he was kind enough to allow her to
see the child, so she settled for a visit and didn't ask for too much. But upon hearing his words, she
was moved.
"Yes."
With a simple nod, Kevin looked away. This woman's eyes were full of gratitude, and Kevin did not like
that. He didn't need this woman to look at him with such appreciation.
"Kevin, thank you so much!"
Her eyes lingered on him as she sincerely thanked him. It was completely beyond her expectation that
this man granted such a thing.
"Don't say 'thank you' to me. I don't like it!"
Bummer! They already had a child together, and now she was so polite to him as if he was some
stranger. Had they become so isolated from each other?
Anne was flabbergasted. She had no idea why Kevin spoke with sudden dissatisfaction. But that was
not important. All her senses were now focused on her child.
Cherry was standing there by the door. When she saw that Kevin cared and felt sorry for Anne, her
hatred poured out of her heart. She was certain that Anne came back with the purpose of taking Kevin
away from her.
No, she would not allow this woman to win Kevin over. He only belonged to her.
With the thought bugging her, Cherry pushed the door open and walked straight right in. When she saw
the tenderness in Kevin's eyes as he looked at Anne, her eyes lit with spite like a burner.
"Anne, don't you agree that he looks exactly like his father? You have no idea how I adored him seeing
him the first time."
Cherry walked from Anne's left shoulder to the other to have a better view of the child with a loving
smile on her face and malice deep in her eyes. Bearing the thought of this child being a bridge for
Kevin and Anne, she craved to strangle the boy.
Every time she saw the baby, Cherry would be filled with wrath. If it were not for the fact that the child
was so important for the Fu Family, she would have just ceased the boy of his existence.
Hearing Cherry's remark, Anne frowned slightly with a dash of impatience in her eyes. She knew that
this woman was not to be trusted. She was so viscous. How could she count on her to like her child?
She even doubted if Cherry meant good intentions.
"I haven't seen any woman who would love the child of his man from another woman. If you like him,
you are really a saint."
Anne looked at Cherry with intense mockery. There was disdain and contempt in her tone. She knew
very well what kind of person Cherry was. It was impossible for her to like their child.
Of course, Cherry sensed the obvious sarcasm in Anne's tone. Her face irked slightly, and the cruelty in
her eyes flashed as she raised an eyebrow.
"Anne, I think you might have misunderstood me. When you were absent in the child's need, I treated
him as my own. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Kevin? The boy is Kevin's son, I'm sure he
won't lie about it, right?"
There was a trace of ridicule on Cherry's face, and a faint grudge in her fierce eyes. It was obvious that
she said this deliberately in front of Kevin.
As Anne saw that Cherry shifted the topic to Kevin, her heart sank. Based on his stand, he would most
likely speak for Cherry.
Turning her eyes to the face of the child, Anne was anxious and didn't want to hear what Kevin had to
say.
"Well, Cherry, you can go ahead of us now. She just saw her child for the first time. Let her be. Allow
her to spend more time with him."
Cherry's abrupt appearance disturbed the good time when Kevin could be alone with Anne. He was
dissatisfied with her behavior. He didn't want to let someone ruin the serene atmosphere since he
finally had the chance to stay with Anne for a while.
In Cherry's surprise, Kevin didn't fall for her manipulation. Instead, she was asked to leave. Her face
became pale. She could not believe that Kevin sided with Anne. With bitterness in her eyes, she
stormed off in embarrassment.
It was all because of that bitch, Anne. If it weren't for her, Kevin would never treat her so cold.
"Kevin..."
Cherry looked at Kevin with grief and called his name softly. Her pitiful act would have made people
feel very sorry for her.
"Like I said, you go out first."
Kevin glared with displeasure. When he said this, he didn't even bother looking at her. Now in his eyes,
except for Anne, no woman deserved his patience.
Anne was amazed at what Kevin said. When did this man become so indifferent to Cherry? She was
always like his precious treasure. He was not like this before.
Cherry could not believe Kevin's actions; her heart took another blow from his man's negligence. She
opened her mouth, but she was so upset that she decided not to speak a word. Finally, she left
unresisting.
With Cherry expelled from the room, the atmosphere was once again filled with serenity. Anne took
another look at the baby in her motherly embrace. It was all she cared about. She didn't even want to
talk to Cherry.
She wanted to cherish this paramount moment as a mother. It was pointless now to argue with a
woman like Cherry.
Looking at the radiant smile on Anne's face, Kevin couldn't help but think that it seemed like a good
idea to have a family of three like this in the future.
