Chapter 257 Anne Is Pregnant


    In the old house of the Fu Family.


    The back garden was full of a plethora of different flowers. Those fully bloomed flowers gave the ce


    a romantic feel. Selma was watering the nts with a solemn face.


    "Mrs. Selma, the servant from the East Mountain Vi called today."


    Selma abruptly stopped watering and asked, "What did she say?"


    All she cared about was Kevin''s opinion. She refused to believe that Kevin was just pretending before


    and didn''t actually like Rose. She was dead set on ming Anne, thinking that Anne seduced her son


    and made him break his marriage with such a wonderful girl.


    "Mr. Kevin said that if you don''t want to see Anne, no one will force you to. He also said that it was him


    who would marry Anne, not you," the servant, a new recruit, spoke bluntly.


    When Selma heard the message, she couldn''t help but tremble in anger.


    "Did Kevin say it personally? Or was it Anne who said it?" Selma asked sternly.


    She felt that Kevin wasn''t treating her like his mother ever since he met Anne. She was furious and


    threw the watering can on the ground.


    "Anne! Fine! You want this? Good. I''ll teach you a lesson you that you remember for a lifetime!"


    After letting out a bit of anger on the watering can, Selma left the old house and decided to go to the


    East Mountain Vi. She was going to remind Anne who was the real hostess of the Fu Family.


    "Mrs. Selma, please wait; don''t be angry. I''ll go and talk with Mr. Carl." Seeing her storm out, the


    servant shouted and did everything to make her stop. He was hoping that she would stop and re-think


    her approach, but she didn''t falter for even a step.


    Selma shoved the driver aside and got in the car with anger ming in her eyes. Feeling helpless, the


    servant could only inform Carl and Kevin.


    In the East Mountain Vi.


    The room was serene and quiet. When Anne opened her eyes, she thought it was still early.


    She looked at the closed window and didn''t see any lighting in. She took out her phone and


    looked at the time. It was already eight fifty. She sat up immediately and wondered what made her


    sleep for so long today.


    "It''s almost nine o''clock!" Anne was shocked.


    She had never gotten up sote. Moreover, she had been feeling dizzy and sleepy a lottely.


    "Anne! Come out! Don''t you dare think that you can get away with anything just because Kevin fancies


    you. I''m his mother. He will do what I say!" A shrill voice instantly killed Anne''s sleepiness and made


    her frown.


    ''It must be Selma,'' Anne spected.


    She put on her slippers and walked out. And just as she spected, she saw an angry Selma waiting


    to tear her apart.


    In the spacious office of AN Group, there was a massive pile of documents just sitting there because


    Kevin still hadn''t dealt with them.


    The dark-colored table with everything ced neatly and not an inch out of ce gave a somber


    feeling.


    Kevin massaged his head while admiring Anne''s ability. He wondered how Anne dealt with so many


    documents at the same time when she was the vice president of thepany back then. He got tired


    before even finishing half of it.


    Yet, when Anne''s smiling face entered his mind, all the fatigue and pain just went away. He felt some


    new kind of power coursing through his body.


    At this moment, his phone rang.


    "Hello, what''s up?"


    When he found that it was a call from his home, his face went dark. "What happened to Anne?"


    "We have no idea what''s going on. Pleasee back quickly!" The servant hung up the phone in a


    hurry leaving a bewildered Kevin looking for answers. He quickly got out of his stupor, picked up his


    jacket, and rushed out.


    "Mr. Kevin, the meeting is about to begin," his assistant reminded him nervously when he saw him


    leaving with a dark face.


    "Cancel it! No, cancel all that are scheduled for today." After giving a hasty order, Kevin went to his


    exclusive elevator.


    "W-what? Cancel all meetings?" The assistant turned left and right as if looking for answers in the


    oblivion. Nobody paid him any mind, and in the end, he just shook his head in defeat.


    On the way, Kevin drove with his feet firmly nted on the elerator. In his eyes, nothing was more


    important than Anne. So the anxiety was killing him.


    After a mere twenty minutes, Kevin was at his home. The door was open, and he could hear quarreling.


    "I will never let you take my son away from me, Anne! You are not allowed to enter our house for the


    rest of your life!" Selma would be terrible whenever she was angry. She even pushed Anne away


    when she tried to calm her down.


    The push was quite the deciding factor for Anne. Her dizziness from the morning had not yet gone. So


    the push, along with her already dizzy head, made her wanna have a little rest, so she just closed her


    eyes.


    "Mrs. Selma! Anne fainted!"


    "What?" Obviously, Selma was also shocked. Fear was slowly growing on her face.


    However, Selma didn''t believe it. "Impossible! She must be pretending!"


    Even though she thought Anne was quite an eyesore, she wasn''t sure whether she was pretending or


    not. She decided to calm down first.


    "Should we find someone to check on Miss Anne?"


    Just as the servant finished speaking, Kevin rushed into the room.


    "Kevin, why are you back?" Selma was shocked. Never did she expect that Kevin woulde back


    when Anne fainted on the floor, and she looked like the obvious culprit.


    "And why shouldn''t Ie back? So that you could bully Anne? Mom, I have always respected you.


    But this is just... Why can''t you treat Anne better? What did she ever do that offended you to such


    extent?" Kevin questioned.


    For the first time in his life, Kevinshed out at his mother. What changed? He loved Anne now.


    "Anne doesn''t deserve you! She is just a mistake—an illegitimate daughter! Your partner should be


    someone from a distinguished family. If the news leaks out that Kevin Fu is dating a mistake, the entire


    world willugh at you!" Selma rebutted.


    Kevin sneered. Kevin''s lips turned in a sneer. "So it turns out that''s all you think about. Do you know


    what I see her as?"


    When she saw the fierceness in his eyes, Selma''s heart trembled. She regretted her actions now. She


    shouldn''t have said that about Anne. Her son''s eyes only conveyed one emotion when he looked at her


    —anger. To begin with, did she even hate Anne that much?


    "In my eyes, Anne is the love of my life. She isn''t an illegitimate daughter or even a mistake." Kevin''s


    attitude made Selma feel a little sad.


    "What I need is not a trophy wife, but a woman who I can love for the rest of my life," Kevin said and


    looked at Anne.


    Anne was still in a dizzy state. She tried to lean on Kevin, but he directly picked her up and rushed to


    the hospital.


    When Anne felt Kevin''s arms around her, she finally let go. She closed her eyes and sank into the void


    called sleep. Maybe his arms were the only ce that could give her such security.


    In the hospital.


    The quiet ward was filled with a medicinal smell.


    In the spotlessly clean room, Kevin sat on the bedside and cut the lemon. He remembered that Anne


    really liked the lemon tree back at home. So he figured that she must really like the lime vor.


    At this moment, Anne was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she clenched her hands


    and grabbed the quilt tightly like she was experiencing a bad dream.

    "Sam, how is Anne?" Kevin knew nothing about medicine, so he had to ask Sam.


    Through clenched teeth, Sam said, "Kevin! Your mother has gone too far this time! Do you know she


    almost caused Anne a miscarriage?"


    "W-what did you say?" Kevin suddenly stood up and grabbed Sam.


    "What did I say? Anne is pregnant. You should take good care of her. You shouldn''t let your mother do


    such things to her." This time, Sam''s sarcastic voice did not irritate Kevin.


    "H-how is my c-child now?" Kevin asked in a nervous stutter.


    Anne was pregnant. He was happy, but also a little sad. He med himself for not taking good care of


    her and causing her such pain.


    "The baby is fine, and so is Anne."


    "Oh. Good. Good. Fortunately, both Anne and the child are fine." Kevin was so happy that he lost


    control of facial expression.


    At this time, Sam looked at Kevin with admiration in his eyes.


    "Don''t be too happy. It''s not all good news. Anne already wasn''t in good shape when she delivered


    Eddy, and now this. In simpler words, due to her weak body, she might suffer a miscarriage at any time


    within the first three months of the pregnancy. The baby is only a month old right now. So make sure


    not to put her in a stressful situation and remember not to make her angry." Sam gave all the medical


    advice he could give.


    "I know. I will definitely take care of Anne. As long as she is fine, I will even shield her from my mother."


    Kevin held Anne''s hand tenderly and looked at her.


    Looking at her pale face, Kevin couldn''t help but curse himself. How could he be such a big idiot that


    he couldn''t even figure out that she was pregnant?


    "Whatever." With that, Sam left the ward.


    However, as soon as he walked out, he found Selma standing outside.


    "Aunt?" Sam shouted.


    However, his attitude was not friendly.


    Selma had heard the entire conversation, so when she saw Sam, her attitude took a 180, and she said,


    "Is Anne pregnant?"


    "Yes. And I advise you not to go inside. It will make Anne feel better and will keep Kevin at bay. After


    all, you know him the best," Sam said.


    "I know, but I had no idea that she was pregnant." Selma tried to exin.


    At this time, Sam sneered, "I ept that you didn''t know that before. But aunt, have you forgotten how


    the Fu Family treated you in the past? Don''t you know that identity is just a shallow concept, and it''s


    actually sincerity that is important? This is also the reason why grandpa doesn''t like you. Even though


    you have suffered yourself, you aren''t tolerant of those who are suffering just like you did."


    In the past, Selma would have stormed off in anger had Sam spoken like that to her. But for some


    reason, she found this helpful. She thought about all that she had done to Anne and couldn''t help but


    feel that she acted harshly. She wasn''t even as tolerant as the Fu Family once was with her.


    "I... see," Selma said seriously.


    Without saying anything more, Sam left the ward.


    Selma looked around for a long time before leaving.


    The night markets were closing, signaling new daybreak. The downtown area was now filled with


    people going in on about their business.


    Mark sat on a stair-step like a statue, and Rose leaned against his chest. The two had spent the entire


    night like that.


    "Oh, my God! I fell asleep. Mr. Mark, I''m so sorry. I fell asleep by ident," Rose said, embarrassed by


    her actions.


    Rose remembered being drunk out of her mind but had no recollection of what happened after. She


    was worried that she might have lost all her manners and made a poor impression on Mark.


    "I was asleep too. It doesn''t matter," Mark said.


    Even though he said he was asleep, he was actually awake the entire time and witnessed the cute


    antics of Rose.
