Chapter 196 Smart Boy Eddy


    Kevin knew that he would crash such a beautiful sight if he came over. It was better to keep an eye on


    the moment carefully from a distance. It was sensible not to disturb and break the toasty atmosphere


    with his intimidating presence.


    In the baby''s room, Eddy broke the silence in the middle of the night. Anne abruptly roused by his cries


    and thought that he was hungry. She quickly prepped his milk and ced the drink slowly in his hands


    for him to slurp while she battled out her stupor.


    Eddy was four months old, and his eyes opened wider by the day. His eyshes had also grown out


    which were adorable and beautiful. His eyes were like Kevin''s and Anne''sbined. He was such a


    bouncy baby boy.


    "Ah!" Eddy pushed the bottle away and gyrated his head. He seemed to be in a tantrum, or maybe he


    was thinking about something.


    Anne frowned and her thin eyebrows seemed to have been knotted with tenderness.


    Eddy only drank a few mouthfuls of the milk which was unusual because he was a full-time gobbler.


    "Eddy, are you full? Are you sure you don’t want to drink more milk? You will be hungry again if you


    don’t finish this bottle." Anne patiently sweet-talked him. Eddyy on her body intimately as he stared


    at Kevin''s room.


    At this time, Kevin also caught a glimpse of Eddy from the gaps in his room. His son''s ecstatic eyes


    and lovely smile deeply warmed his heart.


    For the first time, Kevin fathomed why children were called angels. He thought their smiles were a


    blessing as he felt the snuggling from the distance.


    "Waah!" Eddy burst into tears all of a sudden which puzzled Anne.


    "Eddy, what''s the matter with you? Do you feel ufortable?"


    She was so anxious that she immediately took out a thermometer to check his temperature. What she


    dreaded the most these past few days was Eddy catching a cold or a fever.


    Fortunately, the thermometer showed a decent body temperature, and she had managed to breathe a


    sigh of relief.


    She had heard from Sam that it was good for her to walk around with the baby in her arms as she


    lubied him. Was Eddy tired of staying there?


    When Anne walked out with Eddy in her arms, she found that his cry was much subtle, but once she


    entered the room once more, he began bawling out again.


    She felt headache when Eddy couldn''t sleep at midnight.


    She had no choice but to walk around with the baby in her embrace.


    After a few rounds of walking back and forth, she heard a cough in Kevin''s room.


    Eddy immediately heard the voice and caught the direction of the source. He unexpectedly stretched


    out his little hand, pointed at Kevin''s room, and screamed.


    ''Is Eddy looking for his father? How does he know that Kevin is here from so far away?'' Anne


    wondered.


    "Honey, let''s not go there. Daddy is asleep and so should we. Let’s go back, okay?"


    Anne pleaded. However, it didn''t work. The baby was swift to whine like a siren upon hearing Anne’s


    suggestion.


    Hearing his son''s cry, Kevin suddenly became nervous and wanted to go out and check him out, but


    when he heard that Anne was already trying to calm him, he sat on the edge of his bed and listened


    like an ear in the wall.


    The little guy seemed to want to enter his room and spend the night with him.


    After figuring out the situation from his eavesdropping, Kevin was delighted to know that he was sought


    out by his child, but ten minutester, the sobbing Eddy slowly faded into silence. Kevin was


    disappointed. It seemed that he could not see them tonight.


    Just as he close his eyes and tuck himself in the sheets, Eddy''s voice abruptly exploded again, and this


    time, it seemed out of control.


    Anne coaxed the baby in a hurry-scurry. As, she had no choice but to take Eddy into his father''s


    room.


    Strangely, when they entered Kevin''s room, Eddy stopped crying gradually.


    "Eddy always cries. He just wants toe here. Did we disturb your rest?" Anne asked in


    embarrassment.


    She could refuse Kevin directly, but it was heavy for her to let her child cry all the time.


    "Are you tired? Let me cradle the baby."


    Kevin reached out his hand to pick up the child, but Anne was hesitant to hand over Eddy.


    After a moment of contemtion, she decided to put the baby into Kevin''s boisterous arms, and said,


    "Be careful. His legs are very strong. Don''t let him kick your belly."


    With a hint of caution sinking into his face, Kevin listened thoroughly, but he was no longer as naive as


    before. He managed not to insist on asking whether if Anne said that because she cared about him. He


    knew that once he mentioned that, she would be quick to deny his suspicion and start eluding him


    immediately.


    With Eddy in his arms, Kevin had no idea how to entice the child to calm down. Looking at the helpless


    look on his face, Anne grew restless and disappointed, but she still patiently exined,


    "Now, Eddy is capable of understanding. Although he can''t speak, he can probably recognize some of


    your words," Anne said awkwardly.


    She was uncertain whether if she was right or not about the observation. She just knew that when she


    talked to Eddy, sometimes he would react if what he heard was something that she often mentioned.


    "Eddy, I love you so much. You need to recover as soon as possible so that your mother won''t worry


    about you anymore, okay?" Kevin held the baby’s shoulder with one hand and rubbed his nose with the


    other.


    Eddy giggled and Kevin was confused if he understood what he had just said.


    It was still too early to confirm the intellectual capacity of the child, but Anne appreciated his words.


    "Don''t tell him that. He doesn''t understand that yet. I haven''t mentioned it before. Why don’t you try


    asking him if he is hungry or not? Maybe ask him if he wants his milk? Or go out for a walk? These are


    the questions and words that he is familiar with," said Anne as she blushed.


    "If he''s not acquainted with such words, then I will say it more often until he will understand. Eddy,


    when you recover, you, me, and Mommy will be the happiest family in the world!" Kevin said in an


    imploring voice. When he saw Eddy react with a big smile on his face, the numbness of his face was


    swept away by his son’s priceless beam of joy. He was a natural. Indeed, he was a father who loved


    his child very much.


    "Eddy, it’s gettingte. It’s time for him to sleep. I''ll take him back now," said Anne.


    She reached out to cradle Eddy, but he resisted as he pulled his arm back into Kevin''s embrace.

    ''This stubborn boy has been with his dad for only a few minutes, and now he doesn''t want me


    anymore?'' Anne was lost in her thought as she was startled by the baby''s persistence.


    The strong sense of envy made Anne feel disturbed.


    "Eddy, Mommy wants you to go to bed now," she emphasized. Kevin picked him up and was about to


    hand him over back to Anne,


    but Eddy suddenly curled his lips and started wailing again in distress which frightened Anne.


    "Fine. I''ll let him stay there. I''ll take him away after he falls asleep," Anne said helplessly.


    Kevin pretended to beposed, but in fact, he was very thrilled at this moment. He could finally stay


    with Anne for a longer time.


    It had been like this for thest several days. Eddy would be so hyper at night and there was nothing


    Anne could do about it but wait for him to grow weary. She pulled a stool to the bedside and looked at


    Eddy with a smile, but she couldn''t resist her drowsiness as she felt heavy-eyed.


    Her eyes opened and closed like a blinking light. While cuddling Eddy, Kevin paid attention to her every


    move.


    He wanted to offer her to sleep on the bed, but he knew her temper very well. If she was awakened, it


    would be difficult for her to doze off again and she would be furious like a bear disturbed from


    hibernation.


    Atst, he could only restrain the impulse to care about her.


    Anne felt somnolent. Although she really wanted to entertain herself up, Eddy had refused to go to bed


    for a few consecutive days now. The servants had already gone to bed, so Anne had to no option but to


    take care of Eddy. She was exhausted, and faint dark circles forming already under her eyes.


    Kevin felt sorry for her. When Anne finally closed her eyes to sleep on the edge of the bed, he reached


    out his hand and gently touched her face.


    Seeing what Kevin did, Eddy, who was sitting next to him, wanted to crawl to Anne''s side and touch her


    face as well as his father did.


    When he saw Eddy’s intent to mimic him, Kevin was frightened.


    He immediately pulled Eddy over and said, "Baby, don''t touch your Mommy. If Mommy wakes up, then


    you will leave Daddy soon. Let''s go to sleep, okay?"


    Kevin said in a casual tone and gently touched his soft little fist with his rtively huge knuckles.


    The two of them looked at each other dead in the eye, the giant versus the tiny in what appeared to be


    a staring contest. After a moment, they both smiled harmoniously as if they had made a partnership.


    Finally, another hour passed, and Eddy sumbed to his lethargy.


    Kevin was drained by that time. He didn''t expect that taking care of a child was such a tiring


    responsibility, far more strenuous than working overtime.


    He was amazed by how Anne had managed to hold on. He stared at her sound sleeping, lost in his


    realizations.


    At the first light of dawn, the curtains were still tightly closed. The room was lurking in its dusk. The time


    read eight o''clock, and Anne opened her eyes to a quiet blur.


    She had never slept sofortably for the past nights. Since she went full-time in taking care of Eddy,


    she had been restless every single day. She was afraid that Eddy wouldck attention and lose his


    sleep. If that were to happen, she would have med herself that she hadn''t done a great job as a


    mother.


    However, her intuition told her that she woke upte.


    She stretched out her hand from the quilt and took out her phone. When she saw the time, she sat up


    as alert as a vignte and lost the sense of sleepiness in a jiff.


    "Oh my God! It''s already half past eight. Where''s Eddy?" When she was about to slip on her flip-flops


    on the bedside, she heard Eddy''s cooing.


    It suddenly urred to her that this was Kevin''s bed. She turned her head and saw her son sleeping


    beside her. As she recollectedst night''s events, she was sure she was leaning on the bed from a


    stool, so it must be Kevin who carried her to the bed.


    Anne regretted it. It seemed that the aloof image that she had built up in front of Kevin was gone.


    "Ha-ha!" Eddy''s legs were kicking and his hands were grasping in the quilt. He was naughty yet lovely.


    Looking at him, Anne was full of helplessness.


    "You do have your way around your mischief," said Anne in a pampering voice as she pped Eddy’s


    bum as gentle as a kiss.


    In the AN Group, Kevin was reclined in his chair. The warm sunshine outside embraced its way in his


    office. His smile was as bright and gorgeous as the first dazzling light he saw the moment he opened


    her eyes in this world.


    "Mr. Kevin, are you in a good mood today?" the assistant asked curiously when he saw Kevin smile


    from time to time.


    "Yes. Did I miss any work the other day?" Kevin asked.


    Since Anne left thepany, Kevin had be a workaholic. He was always ill at ease and didn''t


    want to rx at all.


    The assistant was lost in bewilderment for a while, and said, "I''m afraid you didn''t, Mr. Kevin. Although


    you took a few days off, except for this morning''s paperwork, you are absolutely trouble-free for the


    next month."


    Kevin was startled. He hadn’t noticed that he had done a thirty-days’ worth of workload.


    "If that’s the case, then you can leave now."


    Kevin walked to the window and stood there as he watched his staffe and go. The smile on his


    face did not decrease, and the window was wide open.


    It was easy to see the once-in-a-blue-moon smile on Kevin''s face from the lower office. People thought


    they had been dreaming, but when they repetitively nced with concentration, they found that Kevin


    was indeed smiling from ear to ear. However, to everyone''s astonishment, Kevin didn''t notice it at all.


    Suddenly, the news that the president of the AN Group, who was always as cold as the huge cier


    began to melt spread everywhere.


    The employees of the AN Group were famously known for their high efficiency. They didn''t care about


    personal affairs as they plugged along with their line of duty, but those were general cases. Kevin was


    an icon beyond discipline because he was the legend that thrust the AN Group to its glory.


    Just like the news about Anne being browbeaten back then, the image of Kevin''s beam of bliss


    proliferated in an instant.
