Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 261 He Was Happier Than Ever

Valentina's attitude softened, and she said lightly. "Okay, take care,"

Seeing her parent's attitude, Rose was even more assured. She believed that all it would take to achieve her goals was hard work and dedication.

For the one she loved, she wouldn't back down. Moreover, she was sure that Mark had a crush on her too.

In the East Mountain Villa.

It was ten o'clock in the morning and it was unexpectedly a cloudy day today. Perhaps it was because Anne was pregnant, she was not in a good mood.

"Miss, here is your watermelon." The servant brought a plate of peeled watermelon.

However, a pregnant woman was prone to mood swings and rapid change in the palate. So, after just two days, Anne was fed up with watermelon.

"I don't want to eat," Anne said, irritated for no reason.

"But Mr. Kevin said that this is your favorite?" the servant said in a questioning tone as she was very confused.

"I don't like it now." Anne felt like vomiting when she saw the watermelon.

"Oh, I see. Don't worry. It's normal for pregnant women to experience a change in the palate. It's just a pity that a truck filled with watermelon had just arrived from D city," the servant said with regret.

However, when she saw that Anne was not happy, she changed her tone and said, "But it doesn't matter. Mr. Kevin will take care of it."

As she was done speaking, she looked out.

After a mere ten minutes later, Kevin unexpectedly came back. Seeing him back so soon, even Anne was surprised.

"Why are you back?" Anne asked.

Instead of answering, Kevin took off his coat and said, "Forget all that. Time to take a pregnancy examination. Let's go."

Kevin rushed back from the company for a very important reason—he wanted to accompany Anne through every step of the pregnancy. He didn't want her to feel all alone. He wanted to make sure that she understood how important she was to him.

"I can go by myself; you don't have to worry. There must be a lot of things at the company that require your attention. You should go and take care of them," Anne said.

Anne was still in the early stages of pregnancy, so she could walk around easily and didn't require any sort of support. But Kevin was a little too nervous and worried.

"Don't think about all that. I have already handed the company affairs to Sam. I'm sure that he would be able to handle them." Kevin gave her a loving smile, and his face was filled with care.

At the same time, in Kevin's office.

The mountainous pile-up of work-related documents made Sam feel like an ant. Just the sheer volume made him dizzy and want to puke. Never did he expect that Kevin was so lazy that he didn't even finish half of his workload. How was he supposed to deal with all this?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Sam opened the door using the remote control. An employee came in with a plate of watermelon.

Seeing that it was Kevin's assistant, Sam said helplessly, "What's the matter?"

These days, Daniel was the one who sent him the documents.

"Mr. Kevin said that you have worked hard these days, so he asked me to give you watermelon as a reward," Daniel said calmly.

Even Daniel couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw the enormous pile of documents. It almost looked like something out of a comic panel.

"Take it back. Don't take me for a fool. I know that Kevin bought a truckload of watermelon for Anne. He didn't buy it specifically for me. So, take it back!" It wasn't very often that one saw Sam angry.

Daniel put the plate on the table and said, "Mr. Sam, you should take a rest first. Mr. Kevin would feel sad if you get overworked."

After saying that, Daniel walked out of the office, leaving behind a depressed and surely overworked Sam.

"Like hell that bastard would feel sad." Sam was in an emotional state beyond angry. He had already made up his mind: if Kevin didn't return in a week, he would drag him back from the East Mountain Villa.

In the East Mountain Villa.

At times it would be cloudy, and then at other, the sun would shine at its brightest. Sometimes the clouds would hide the sun behind, and at other, the sun would hide the clouds. Sitting beside the French window, Anne felt sleepy again. She was frustrated as she had just woken up like two hours ago.

"Anne, don't sleep now. We are going for a pregnancy examination," Kevin whispered in Anne's ear.

However, Anne frowned and said, "No."

She said it casually, but Kevin thought it was an important matter. For him, everything that concerned Anne was of utter importance.

"Why?" Although he would respond to Anne's wishes almost like a genie, this wasn't something that he could agree.

"No, I just won't," Anne said in a cold refusal.

Then, there was a moment of silence as Kevin no longer tried to persuade her. Just when she thought that Kevin had given up and was about to get to sleep, Kevin lifted her in a princess carry.

"Since you are so sleepy, just sleep in my arms." Kevin's voice was full of tenderness, and Anne couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Okay, okay. I'll go. Put me down first." Anne frowned, but Kevin didn't give in.

"It doesn't matter. You are very light." Kevin planted a warm kiss on her cheeks and smiled at her.

However, Anne rolled her eyes and said, "Put me down, or I'll jump down."

Kevin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. For the sake of the child, you will take care of yourself, won't you?"

After Anne heard his reasoning, her face went dark. Yes, Kevin was right. She didn't dare act rashly, lest that harm her baby. As one would expect from this hateful person, he was the master of shenanigans. One could only feel helpless when one encountered him.

Giving up, she leaned in his chest. Smiling at his victory, Kevin walked steadily towards the car.

In the hospital, there were many trees, and the environment felt fresh.

The faint fragrance of flowers traveled through the hospital windows and made the entire hospital fragrant. Although it was a hospital, the scenery from the windows was just like that of five-star hotels.

Sam not only cared about helping his patients but also giving them a great experience while they stayed at the hospital.

"I'm going to find Sam." Anne got out of the car.

But Kevin stopped her and said, "You don't have to look for him. He is not here."

"Why? Is he still in the company? Is he still busy with the work you gave him?" When she thought that Kevin might have unloaded all his work on Sam and left him to finish it in his stead, she couldn't help but feel that he had gone too far.

"No, not busy at all. It's just that I'm not in the company right now, so I need someone to look after it. Otherwise, the workflow will get messy," Kevin said.

Not only did Kevin say this to Anne, but he himself believed his lies too. Moreover, Sam could also be considered a member of the AN Group, so it was natural for him to share some workload.

"Oh, what about Sam's hospital?" Anne asked worriedly.

"The patients aren't treated by the hospital's general manager, but by the doctors. There are many capable doctors in his hospital, so there is no need to worry," Kevin said in a steady voice. It was like he had forgotten that he was the one who set Sam up.

"Okay. Let's go in now. I don't like to stay in the hospital for long," Anne said after making a decision.

Night soon followed.

The bright streetlights outshone the stars of the night. Nothing apart from its general gray-blue appearance could be seen. The night wind was cold but comfortable.

At nine o'clock, Emily arrived at the building of the AN Group.

Standing at the gate, she felt a little strange. The last time she was here, she worked with Anne. That was over a year ago.

Her phone rang. "Hello, I'm downstairs. Okay, I'll be there soon."

A smile appeared on Emily's face again. She hung up the phone and went upstairs. The office door was open, and only the lights in this office were on. It was easy to see the scene inside from the outside.

One could see a disheveled Sam working. Although he looked in quite a sorry state, he was still seriously working.

With a slight smile, Emily walked in.

"It turns out that I'm not the only one busy. Why are you working? Where is Kevin? Did he ask you to handle the work?" Emily asked with a smile.

However, Sam frowned and said in an indifferent voice, "Kevin only cares about Anne now. He doesn't care about anything else."

"That's good, but you must be tired." Emily stepped forward and gently massaged Sam's shoulder.

Sam's shoulders were stiff like a boulder, so when Emily massaged them, he felt a tingle in his entire body. He could not help but take a deep breath.

"Too hard?" Emily asked, a bit nervous.

"No, I just haven't exercised for a long time. I'm fine. After I sign this, we'll go out for dinner," Sam said.

He couldn't delay his date just because of some papers.

"Okay."

With a slight smile, Emily sat on the chair opposite Sam. Her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Sam cruising through the documents. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

In the East Mountain Villa.

The light was on. There was a rocking chair in the living room. A child could be seen awake and up to mischief.

Eddy stood in the cradle, held the guardrail, and shook his legs to climb out.

Meanwhile, Kevin was trying to feed Anne porridge.

"Just finish this before going to sleep," Kevin requested.

Recently, Kevin was spoiling Anne. Whenever Anne frowned and refused to eat, he would coax her like a child.

The porridge had a light fragrance and a sweet taste, which was very tempting to Eddy. Whenever he would smell a whiff of it, he would begin his escape plan with newfound vigor.

He wanted to escape, but the guard rail was a little too high. Eddy struggled several times, but he just couldn't get out. His little face was stiff, and his mouth was pursed. He looked just like Kevin right now.

However, Kevin was so focused on Anne that he didn't pay any attention to Eddy. In the end, Eddy became irritated and burst into tears. And one must know, he wasn't one to cry easily.

When Anne heard Eddy crying, all her sleepiness flew out the window.

"Eddy, what's wrong?" Anne stood up and held Eddy up.

Pointing at the porridge bowl with his chubby little hand, Eddy said, "Eat, eat."

After hearing his request, Anne smiled. It was just that he was hungry. So she took the porridge from Kevin and began feeding him.

Eddy tasted the sweetness and stopped crying. He smiled and waited for Anne to feed him.

Seeing this, Anne felt much better.

But Kevin was unhappy. "Eddy, this is your mother's porridge."

None of them paid attention to his unhappiness; Eddy even ate with a smile. Kevin was at a loss. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was sure that no one would listen to him in the future. Yet, he was happier than ever, at least happier than the time he had everything but a loving family.

Eddy fell asleep after finishing his food. Anne was also a little tired, so she asked a servant to put Eddy in his cradle. Kevin took Anne in his arms and sat on the sofa.

"Are you tired?" Kevin looked at her and asked.
