Renewal Of Love

Chapter 235 Quality Time With His Beloved Son

Inside the house of the Fu Family, excitement filled the air.

While everyone was gathered around, a piece of white paper sat meekly on the table. It contained the

result of Rose's physical examination that would determine the happiness of the two families—

especially Selma, who was delightfully immersed in the joy of becoming a grandmother.

Her elation showed as plain as day in the way she took good care of Rose.

"You must be tired, Rose. Why don't you go and have a good rest first? If you need to do something,

make sure to ask the servants to do it instead. Just take it easy and don't move around a lot." Selma

wore a bright, incessant smile as she gave Rose some reminders. It seemed that she had been

treating Rose better as her belly grew bigger and bigger.

"Yes, mom. By the way, have you heard any news recently?" Rose casually asked while she ate the

steaming hot porridge.

"Oh, I know just what you're talking about. Humph! Kevin was really out of line this time. Anyway,

there's no reason for you to worry. I won't recognize her. No matter how good Anne is, there's no room

for her in the Fu Family. Besides, I don't like people who don't have a good reputation out there."

Selma then smiled, went to Rose and fixed the hair behind her ears, and continued in a hushed tone,

"That's why it's you who I like for my son."

Hearing this, Rose lowered her eyes and fell silent. She remembered that back then, her father was

first engaged to Anne's mother. However, due to some circumstances, her father's family didn't approve

of the wedding to happen. In some way. Anne could still be considered her father's legitimate child, so

Rose still couldn't help but worry.

"It's alright, mom. You don't need to be angry. Even if Kevin likes Anne, he wouldn't dare to leave us. I

don't think he'd be stupid to make his family shun him just for a woman who's not even the right match

for him.

Besides, you are his mother, and we all know how much he loves you," Rose said softly as she stared

into her eyes. Hearing these kind words, Selma felt like his heart melted. At the same time, she tightly

held Rose's hand and nodded with a faint smile.

"You're such a good girl. Come on, you need to rest now. Your grandfather is not in good shape these

past few days, so I'll need to check on him and see if he needs anything."

Selma stood up and eventually went out of the room, leaving Rose alone.

As soon as Selma's figure receded, Rose's face darkened. It turned out that she was holding her

emotions the moment Selma mentioned Kevin's grandfather. Deep within her heart, Rose knew that

Carl didn't like her very much. Compared to her, it seemed like he was totally captivated by Anne.

Thinking of this, she clenched her fist as she became more irritable. As though trying a way to vent out

her anger, she browsed the internet to confirm the news that was going around.

Just recently, the negative news about Anne had already spread all over the world. After all, she was

entangled in a complicated relationship between two business tycoons, and it was just natural that

many eyes paid attention to this kind of story.

Due to all this fuss, Rose presumed that Anne mustn't have enough time to concern herself with Kevin.

"Well, don't blame me, Anne. This is all your fault. You are already engaged, so you don't have any

right to get between Kevin and me. You should know your place." After calming down a bit, Rose tried

to close her eyes as she seemed to have gotten tired from all her activities throughout the day.

Meanwhile, in the East Mountain Villa, Anne came home rather early.

It was already starting to dim outside, and the sun was about to disappear from the horizon.

As she entered her room, she noticed that Eddy wasn't there. Although she felt very disappointed, she

had no other choice but to get used to it.

"Why don't you skip work for tomorrow and stay at home? I know you're working nonstop when you're

in your office." Kevin's gloomy voice suddenly blew from the corner of the room. Anne actually felt a bit

startled when she saw him inconspicuously sitting in the living room.

He was wearing black casual clothes that matched the sofa, and he didn't utter a word when Anne

came in, so there was no way that she would quickly notice him.

"Why do I need to do that? I'll do whatever I want. I know I promised you not to contact anyone else,

but I should at least live my own life, shouldn't I? Plus, it's just my job. Why should it matter to you?"

Anne asked with a straight face.

At this moment, Kevin got up and stared directly at Anne with his piercing gaze.

"I said… I wouldn't allow it," Kevin retorted in a low, cold voice.

He didn't want Anne to freely do anything she wanted for the reason that she didn't consider him a part

of her life.

"Is that why you've taken my right to see Eddy?" Anne asked in a melancholic tone, with her brows

starting to slightly furrow.

"I'm doing this for you. Nothing comes out right when you're always near Mark," Kevin replied flatly.

Hearing this, Anne heaved a sigh, raised her head, and said in a resigned manner, "Fine. You win. You

always get what you want in the end anyway. I swear I won't go to work tomorrow, but in return, you

also have to promise me that I may go in and out of the villa whenever I want. I'm not your prisoner…"

All she wanted was a bit of a compromise. If she couldn't even get out of the East Mountain Villa, what

was the difference between her and a caged bird?

"All right, I will allow you to do that. Just remember to keep your promise. And also, I have one

condition." Kevin slightly raised his chin as if a declaration that he was still the winner of this deal.

"What is it? Say it," Anne said impatiently.

"You can go out whenever you wish, but when you do, make sure he's never out of my sight."

Anne's lips pursed slightly as she took a deep breath. After a moment, she looked at him and said,

"Okay. I promise."

Right when she expressed her agreement, Anne went back to her room as fast as she could, unable to

bear a single second of seeing Kevin's face.

As the evening deepened into the dead of night, innocent laughter suddenly chimed from the baby's

room.

In the middle of the room was Eddy's bed, where he sat while playing with his hands. He was

handsomely dressed in a beige onesie. Across him was Kevin, who was restfully sitting on the sky blue

carpet. Eddy then stared lovingly at him with his twinkling eyes for a while until a smile lit up his

adorable face.

When he saw that Kevin was smiling back at him, he stretched out his tiny hands towards his dad and

started reaching for his face.

"Be careful, Eddy. Don't move." Kevin couldn't help but remind him when he saw Eddy crawling on the

bed.

Although Eddy stopped moving, he gave Kevin a curious look and curled his lips. What he did next took

Kevin by surprise.

Slowly, Eddy stood up. His legs were a little wobbly, but he managed to stand up just fine.

"Wow, Eddy. You're already good at standing up on your own, huh? Come on, I'll teach you something."

Kevin smiled brightly as he held his son in his arms. "Let me hear you say, 'mommy.'"

At this very moment, there wasn't a single shred of his persona as a superior CEO. He was just an

ordinary father who wanted to spend quality time with his beloved son. If anyone saw the doting

expression on his face, they might have a hard time recognizing that it was indeed Kevin.

As Eddy held his father's hand, he slightly tilted his head and stared at Kevin with rather confused

eyes. After Kevin repeated the word "mommy" quite a few times, Eddy furrowed his endearing little

brows and gradually opened his tiny mouth. "Dad… Dad…"

His voice was so soft, like a feather from an angel's wing that gently stroked Kevin's heart. He felt an

inexplicable warmth and joy from within him. It was a milestone that completely blissed Kevin out as a

parent.

"Baby, can you say that again? Please?" Kevin said as he pleaded like a child who longed for attention.

However, Eddy didn't respond this time. Instead, he grabbed the guardrail of the cot with his dainty little

fingers and gnawed it with his undeveloped teeth from time to time.

"Well, of course, you're a baby." Kevin sighed as he lightly shook his head with a faint smile on his face.

"Come on, baby. Can you call me dad one more time?"

"Dad!"

Eddy's voice became clearer this time, followed by an endearing giggle. He seemed to have shouted it

with excitement. Kevin felt extremely jubilant, but then he immediately got worried afterward.

He carried Eddy in his arms, gently caressed his fluffy head, and softly said, "Baby, you need to learn

to say 'mommy' too. Otherwise, your mom would be sad if she only heard you saying 'dad.' Do you

understand?"

Thinking of this, Kevin let out a bitter smile. He knew that for Anne, nothing was more important to her

than her son. Somehow, he just wished that she would also consider him a part of her life again.

When Kevin saw Eddy's smart look, he clenched his fist and gently bumped the little boy's tiny fist.

"Eddy, do you know that mommy doesn't like daddy right now? That's why I'll need your help to get the

two of us back together, okay?"

After saying this, he gently rubbed his nose against Eddy's face. The mellow light shone on them as

the warm atmosphere enveloped the room.

The next day in the AN Group, the weather looked very nice and not a single group of clouds could be

seen blocking the clear blue sky.

The building was surrounded by huge pleasantly-looking plants that were greeted by the sunshine.

At the same time, all the employees were already busy with their work. However, when they saw a

familiar figure outside with an unfamiliar aura, they were shocked to their core.

In their entire stay in the company, they only saw Kevin's serious and icy look. That was why they were

thoroughly surprised when the CEO came to work in a windbreaker and a pair of casual pants today.

The most flabbergasting part was when they saw a faint smile fixed on his handsome face.

"Oh. My. G— Is that really Mr. Kevin? Did something happen to him? Why does he look like he's a

completely different person?!" one of the employees said in disbelief.

"You tell me! Whoever turned him into this must be someone amazing. Never did I imagine that our

stone-cold CEO can look this… soft and gentle. His gorgeousness just multiplied by a hundred-fold!"

This employee couldn't help but cup her face with her hands as she daydreamed that Kevin was

walking in a field of pastel-colored fragrant flowers.

Not a minute later, Daniel saw the commotion in the company lobby. He forcefully cleared his throat

and said, "I don't think it is anyone's business to discuss how the president should look like when he

goes to work. If I were you, I'd get back to work, or this might be the last time that you'll see Mr. Kevin

walk into our building."

As though they had finally regained their senses, the employees left one after another, leaving Daniel

who, in fact, was also quite astounded by the CEO's unheralded entrance.

He then quickly approached Kevin and greeted him,

"Mr. Kevin, I'll sort out the documents that you need to deal with today and brief you about it later."

Kevin simply nodded and walked into his office while Daniel followed close behind.

However, when they got into his office, Kevin didn't give Daniel any direct orders for his other tasks just

like their daily routine. Instead, he sat on the sofa with an innocent smile on his face. Then, out of

nowhere, he asked, "Daniel, I don't think I ever asked you this, but are you married?"

Hearing this, Daniel was stunned, but he tried his best not to make it seem very obvious. He started to

feel nervous since he just couldn't think of a reason why Kevin would ask him such a question. He

racked his mind and tried to recall if he had done anything wrong. Was his boss going to separate him

from his family for a mistake that he failed to notice?

"Yes, Mr. Kevin. I'm married." He knew that something was up because he could clearly see that there

was some strange altruism in Kevin's tone. Thus, he answered honestly.

"I see. Do you have a child then?"

"Yes, my son just turned two recently."

"Oh, you have a boy. Where do you usually take him for recreational activities or when you want to buy

him something?" Kevin enquired after thinking for a while. He had a rather serious expression on his

face as he lightly rubbed his chin.

After hearing all these questions, Daniel suddenly had a moment of enlightenment. He heaved a sigh NôvelDrama.Org © content.

as if a large boulder had been taken off his chest. He had always thought of Kevin as someone

omnipotent and intelligent at everything. However, it seemed that the great CEO still needed some

advice when it came to taking care of a child.

"Well, he's still too young to take him to crowded places. Besides, we are too busy with our jobs here,

so we just rarely take him out to play. On the other hand, children's educational toys are surprisingly

helpful in training their young minds. That way, he could learn some basic ideas while having fun,"

Daniel explained logically from a standpoint of both a father and a professional.

Satisfied with Daniel's answer, Kevin slightly nodded and looked in the distance.

"But Mr. Kevin, if I may add, the best way to raise a child is for his family to always be with him. At their

very young age, children are prone to feel insecurities. However, if their family are always with them in

whatever they go through, I'm sure that they'll grow up just fine," Daniel added.

"Yeah, I understand. Thank you, Daniel. You can leave now." Kevin spoke calmly as a faint smile

brightened up his face.

As Daniel walked out and closed the door behind him, Kevin put his hand on his forehead and sighed

deeply. He knew for a fact that Anne undoubtedly loved her son with all her heart, but the biggest

problem was their relationship. He didn't want their situation to affect Eddy's upbringing, but he was

worried that it would inevitably be a huge factor. Pondering on these thoughts, he felt like he was going

to have a severe headache.

All this time, Kevin just wanted Anne to show genuine kindness towards him. He just didn't want to

force her into doing it because he stood by his principle that intimacy between two people needed to be

fought for, not begged for.

Letting Anne live in the East Mountain Villa was his last resort. If he didn't do that, Anne would have

really married Ian. If that really happened, their relationship would be more difficult to mend than ever.

"Ah, what a drag." At this moment, this was all Kevin could say in this seemingly cloudy situation.

Meanwhile, back in the East Mountain Villa, the sun was just about to rise, where a faint red glow from

the east could be seen peeking from the horizon.

It was seven o'clock in the morning and the clear sky was gradually being lit up. The sweet sounds of

the chirping birds resounded in the air, and the morning breeze of the luscious greens around smelled

and felt totally refreshing.

Anne stretched out her arms after a long yawn. She got up and put on her clothes, walked out of the

room, and hoped that a good day was waiting ahead of her.
