Chapter 276 Endless Love
As soon as the door opened, Carl stood up. His smile grew bigger as his gaze fell upon his great-
grandson. Eddy was adorned in exquisite clothes. Carl felt like he was ten years younger when he saw
this lovely boy.
"Eddy,e here," Carl called, opening his arms wide.
At that moment, Eddy and Anne came inside, apanied by a servant. When Eddy saw Carl, his
face brightened up as he gave a toothy smile.
"Great-grandpa!"
His excited voice echoed across the hall, different from thest time when Carl met him. ‘He’s so cute!’
Carl thought to himself.
He was getting older and lonelier by the day, but meeting his great-grandson made him very happy. He
liked Eddy very much. Despite his weakness, Carl picked up Eddy as he ran up to hug his great-
grandpa.
"Grandpa, you don''t have to pick up Eddy. He has gained some weight recently," Anne said.
Although Anne spoke in a low voice, Carl could tell that she really cared about him.
"It okay, Eddy isn’t heavy. He is a treasure." Carl made no secret of his praise for Eddy.
"Great-grandpa, I can count now!" Eddy announced excitedly.
Carl raised his eyebrows and asked, "Anne, did you teach him? My great-grandson is just a little boy,
but he can already count. So smart!" Carl praised sincerely.
Anne, on the other hand, was surprised. ‘When did Eddy learn? Why didn''t I know about this?’ she
pondered.
"Maybe Kevin taught him," Anne said uncertainly, although Kevin never really had much time to teach
Eddy.
"It was Grandma." Eddy beamed, looking up at Carl.
Selma knitted her brows together. She didn''t remember ever teaching Eddy to count.
"I remember." The servant spoke, causing all eyes to shift in her direction.
Her mouth hung open, as she looked at Eddy in surprise. This was because the child in front of her
was too smart.
"Tell me," Carl said. He was interested to know who taught Eddy.
The servant was a little embarrassed as she spoke. "I''m old and have a bad memory. I have to count
everything. When I buy vegetables, I have to count them. When Mr. Kevin and Miss Anne are busy,
sometimes I take the young master with me. He follows along when I count. It’s clear now that the
young boy is really smart," the servant praised, a warm smile on her face.
As Carl heard this, his curiosity peaked. "Eddy, count for me!"
Putting his hand in front, Eddy proudly started counting on his fingers. "One, two, three, four..."
Everyone was astonished as he continued. All the numbers were correct and it verified the fact that he
was a child prodigy.
Carl burst intoughter. "Well, well," he mused aloud. "The people in our family are all geniuses! Eddy
turns out to be even smarter than Kevin!"
Selma smiled as well. She enjoyed showing off how intelligent her grandson to thedies she yed
cards with.
The happy atmosphere suddenly dulled as the doors opened and Kevin walked in. Seeing him, Anne
grew confused. He was a busy man, why would hee back?
"Anne, how are you?" Kevin walked over to Anne, holding her hands with a worried look on his face.
Anne responded with a small smile, murmuring, "I’m fine."

Kevin’s concern made her feel a little embarrassed. Selma feigned a cough, before she asked, "Kevin,
why are you worried about Anne? Will we let her be wronged here?"
There was a hint of displeasure in Selma''s voice, but she was not really angry. She understood that the
children’s affairs were theirs to deal with. She needn''t worry about them. Selma only wanted to behave
well as a mother.
"No, I just came back to check on her." Noticing that Selma’s voice was softened, Kevin stepped back.
As long as they didn''t make things difficult for Anne, everything would be fine.
"Anne is pregnant now. Although our servants are dutiful, they can’t take good care of her. So if you
have time,e back and live with us." After saying that, Selma breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, she would have been embarrassed to say this aloud, but now she felt almost rxed in
making others happy.
It took a long time before they could understand Anne’s temper. She was cold in the beginning, making
her seem like she was a difficult person to get along with.
"Eddy, do you like living with me and your great-grandpa?" Selma asked.
"Yes, I do!" Eddy nodded, replying within a heartbeat. His conviction made Selma particrly happy.
"Why don''t youe live with me? Your mother is sick these days and she gets tired easily. Would you
let me take care of you?"
Selma crouched down to Eddy’s height, rubbing his shoulders lovingly.
Eddy pondered for a long minute, his expression indifferent. Just as Selma was about to give up the
idea, Eddy skipped towards Anne.
Pouting his lips, Eddy softly patted Anne’s swollen belly. He thought she was sick. "Mom! Please
recover soon!"
Anne felt his small hands on her belly and felt something move within. She smiled, knowing the baby
inside probably responded to Eddy’s touch.
Kevin was at a loss for words when he realized Eddy thought Anne was sick.
He looked down at Eddy, ruffling his hair. "Eddy, you can live here for now. When your mother gets
better, we wille to pick you up."
With Eddy around, Anne''s attention was always on him and Kevin seemed to be invisible to her. Kevin
was happy to find a chance to leave this boy out of their life for a while so that he and Anne could
spend some time alone.
Eddy wouldn''t know what was on his mind, so Kevin knew his wishes coulde true.
Thinking of this, he felt a littlecent as well.
"Okay." Eddy, gullible and young, agreed to Kevin’s request.
Kevin was overjoyed. He felt aplished having his way.
Everyone present seemed happy, except for Anne. She silently pondered over the situation. Since
Selma and Carl meant well and she indeed always felt sleepytely, she agreed after a while.
"Anne. If you miss Eddy, call me and I''ll bring him to you." It was a rare sight, seeing Selma expose her
kind side as confirmed by the surprise in Anne’s eyes.
"Okay."
Eddy seemed to understand that he wouldn''t be able to go with Anne anymore so he held onto her
thighs tightly, refusing to let go.
It took a lot of coaxing, but eventually, Eddy was pried loose from Anne. As they were leaving the old
house of the Fu Family, Anne looked depressed.
Kevin was driving slowly, turning to look at Anne asionally. His forehead creasing with worry as he
thought she was sad.
"Anne, if you feel unhappy, I can bring Eddy back," Kevin asked hesitantly.
‘Although it''s annoying that Eddy always upies Anne''s attention, I will still bring him back if she
wants.’
Thinking to himself, Kevin beamed. If Sam saw him smile like this, he would call him crazy.
"I’m relieved knowing Eddy is safe there, but there''s a weird feeling I can’t quite understand," Anne said
slowly.
She leaned her head against the window. Her eyes watching the buildings pass by, and the sky dotted
with an array of clouds.
She looked ethereal doing such a mundane task.
Kevin looked in her direction, feeling sorry for her.
"Anne, I’m taking you somewhere," Kevin said softly, but there was a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Where are we going?" Kevin''s words aroused Anne''s curiosity. Her eyes lit up, like a lonely cat who
suddenly found something novel.
Seeing her perk up, Kevin chuckled. "You will know when we get there."
As they drove along the road, a street emerged in front of them. It felt strange but familiar to Anne like
she had been here before. As memories seemed toe up one after another, she realized it was her
old neighborhood from her young days.
She almost believed the old town was gone since it had been so many years. She didn''t expect it to be
standing to this day.
"This is my home! Before I left, I remember hanging a doll here. I was afraid I would forget this ce in
the future!" Anne eximed, not being able to contain her excitement as they neared a little doll
hanging from a front door.
She covered her agape mouth in astonishment. It was almost as if she discovered a new continent. Her
displeasure had immediately dissipated. It was fate that she had returned to the ce where she spent
her childhood.
"Anne, let’s look around." Kevin stopped the car and opened the door.
Immersed in joy, Anne took his hand. Two hands ovepped, one warm and the other slightly cold.
"It’s been so long that I have been here. I was worried that it would be all gone. This way I was able to
keep a good memory intact, of the days when my mother was still healthy," Annemented.
Although Anne seemed to have a cold exterior, she was the most emotional person from within.
Kevin’s eyes never left her face. It was as if he was looking at her for the first time. He wanted her to
know that he would never leave her side.
Despite his reserved personality, Kevin formed his thoughts into a sentence. "Anne, this old town is
yours now."
"What? Tell me, what are you talking about?" Anne chuckled wholeheartedly.
She thought Kevin was joking, but the smile tugging at Kevin’s mouth only grew bigger. "I wasn''t
nning to tell you this early, but since you were unhappy about leaving Eddy, I brought you here.
There’s still a lot of repairs that need to be done, but your old home has been fully refurbished."
Anne was so moved that she was at a loss for words. She realized the reason Kevin had been so busy
the past couple of weeks.
A warm feeling washed over her whole body. Looking at Kevin, she realized that he really loved her.
Seeing the change in her expressions, Kevin decided to choose this moment to take out three small
boxes from his pocket.
