Chapter 286 An Idea Came To Her Mind


    Eddy rested his hands gently on Kevin''s shoulders and smiled sweetly at him. His eyes curved into two


    crescent moons. Finally, he was close to Kevin.


    "Yes, I''m happy, Dad. Could wee here more often?" Eddy asked with a glimpse of hope in his


    eyes. After months of practicing the art of persuasion, this young but clever boy had be much


    more honey-tongued.


    Kevin didn''t say a word, nevertheless he was very proud of his son. Eddy had proved he was extremely


    smart because, after all, he had inherited the excellent genes of his father!


    "I''m afraid not," said Kevin with certainty. Although he really wanted to meet his child''s request, he still


    had to put his foot down.


    Eddy''s lower lip protruded in an unhappy pout. With a pitiful look in his eyes, he couldn''t believe his


    dad''s refusal. Kevinid his hand on the little boy''s head and stroked his soft hair.


    "Eddy, it''s not convenient for Mommy toe out yet. How about we wait until your younger brother is


    born and mom is well enough? Is that okay for you?" Kevin said and waited eagerly for a response.


    As expected, his words attracted Eddy''splete attention. "Dad, what is a younger brother?" The


    child had a puzzled look on his face.


    Anne gave him a quizzical nce. She was speechless to say the least. Indeed, he was a very curious


    young fellow. ''What is a younger brother? How could I answer such a simple yet difficult question?''


    Anne found herself once again at a loss for words.


    "Eddy, a younger brother is a boy who looks like you, but who is younger than you," Kevin exined


    easily without caring if he could understand him or not.


    The curious little boy took a look around the room, as if he were searching for something in particr.


    Anne couldn''t resist herself. "Eddy, what are you doing?"


    He scratched his head with his hand and that made him seem so cute. He eximed, "I''m looking for


    my brother!"


    She was left dumbfounded. Anne heard him ask once again, "Where is my brother?"


    Kevin pointed at her belly in response to his child''s question. Eddy felt confused by this. "Are you


    saying my brother is in Mom''s belly? How can hee out then?"


    Eddy began to weep. Distraught by the whole situation, he failed to stop the big teardrops from


    streaming down his face. It was quite evident this was all for the sake of his poor brother.


    Kevin and Anne couldn''t believe their eyes. It was unfathomable. Without a doubt, kids were such


    trouble.


    "Your brother got lost in Mom''s belly," he sighed, "but don''t worry, he''ll find his way out." Kevin


    Having heard her partner''s exnation, Anne couldn''t utter a word. Kevin had such a way with words; it


    was quite amusing.


    "Yes, I''m sure my brother will find his way out." Eddy nodded, wiping thest tears off his face. He


    didn''t want to worry his dad any longer.


    The young boy was finally reassured. However, Anne insisted in a cold voice, "Kevin, I''ve told you


    already. We are having a daughter!"


    "Okay, okay, it''s a girl. I''m sorry!" Kevin held her hand to help her calm down. Although deep inside he


    had an intuition that they were going to have a son, he couldn''tment on this, unless he wanted to


    upset his darling even more.


    While they were arguing on and on about the sex of the baby, Eddy noticed a ring on his dad''s finger


    and a rather simr ring on his mom''s middle finger. This was quite suspicious.


    He stared at his own pale, chubby and soft hands and asked in a clear voice, "Dad, Mom, where''s my


    ring?" He showed them his empty hands in desperation.


    Hearing this, Anne lowered her head. When she saw the two hands sping together, an idea came to


    her mind.


    In the East Mountain Vi.


    In the quiet and peaceful study, the curtains were drawn back. This let the sun shine through the


    windows and brighten the room nicely. On the outside, a refreshing verdant mountain enhanced the


    already astonishingndscape.


    The sunshine warmed up the room and created a nice atmosphere.


    Anne was resting in a cushioned chair apanied by some books about jade sitting on the table in


    front of her.


    Ever since Eddy mentioned the ring, or rather theck of one on his small chubby finger, she came up


    with an interesting idea. It was no surprise that jade jewelry always came in pairs. ''But what if there is a


    third person?'' Anne thought to herself.


    Therefore, she decided on designing unique jade jewelry for all three of them and the unborn baby.


    "Mrs. Anne, it''s time for you to rest." The servant appeared suddenly with a fruit tter on her hand and


    reminded her of the schedule nned by her caring husband.


    It was only ten o''clock in the morning. The day he knew Anne was pregnant, Kevin set her a timetable.


    When he was not at home taking care of her, the servant would remind thedy to follow the detailed


    n.


    She groaned quietly and by the look on her face, she felt clearly upset. It had only been half an hour


    since she entered the study and she had done nothing yet.


    "Put it down, please. I''ll eat itter." Anne made sure to sound indifferent and unbothered.


    But Kevin certainly wouldn''t allow her to do that. The servant asserted without having moved from her


    spot, "No, Mr. Kevin has ordered me to look after you and check that you have finished eating your


    fruit."


    Left without a choice but to do what she was told, Anne closed her book abruptly, put it down on the


    corner table beside her and began to eat reluctantly.


    Having finished the rather taxing task, she was finally relieved. She turned to the servant and smiled at


    her wanly. "I have eaten the fruit. Is that all?"


    The servant grinned and announced, "Of course not, Mrs. Anne. I''ve never seen anyone as attentive as


    Mr. Kevin is. He said that after you ate, about half an hourter, you must drink your water, so I''ll bring


    you a full warm ss. Excuse me."


    Anne curled her lip. She could not believe her ears. ''Why is Kevin so nosy?'' she screamed internally.


    "How many more things has my husband asked you to do? Just tell me." She was growing impatient.


    "Well, Mr. Kevin has told me to remind you to go for a walk at eleven o''clock, because sitting for too


    long is not beneficial to your health. I''ll bring some desserts at half past eleven just in case you''re


    hungry. After that, you''ll have lunch at twelve o''clock sharp, and then I''ll apany you to the garden


    for a walk. You have to take a nap from one to two o''clock in the afternoon so you can recover your


    energies. Before half past two, you can finally do whatever it is you desire. However we can''t forget


    that you need to get some sun and do fetal education..."


    Anne felt the servant was talking for hours. It was like she was ying a practical joke on her. She felt


    a headache iing. Kevin was in fact a busybody.


    Anne gave up after realizing she had no time today to design the jade jewelry she was so eagerly to


    create. When Kevin came back, she needed to have a good talk with him and settle on some things.


    In the AN Group, the sofa was as ck as Kevin''s suit.


    Above his head was a European-style retro chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Kevin nced up from


    time to time anxiously, then at the clear sky outside and then at his watch, as if he was waiting


    impatiently for something.


    He kept doing this automatically in the office, unaware that this was noticed by Sam. At first, Sam was


    talking endlessly about the project, pacing around the room, assuming that Kevin was paying attention.


    Suddenly, he came to a halt.


    Judging from the worried look on Kevin''s face, he knew that Kevin wasn''t listening to him.


    Half an hourter, Sam couldn''t stand it anymore. He stopped abruptly in front of Kevin and frowned at


    him. "What on Earth are you doing?", he asked with a notably bothered tone of voice.


    "Nothing. Go on. I''m listening." Kevin assured him shaking his hand in the air.


    "Do you have to be so impatient right when I''m talking about something important?" Samined


    helplessly.


    "You know, I don''t think you''re listening to me," he murmured, about to throw a tantrum right there and


    then.


    Kevin smiled and tried tofort his dear friend, "Sam, don''t doubt me. You are going to talk about the


    cooperation project with the TC Group. Half an hour ago, you mentioned ourpany''s disagreement


    with them about working capital. Am I right? Isn''t this what you said? I''ve already worked out the


    solution to this matter and I''ll give it to you tomorrow, as soon as I can."


    Sam waspletely shocked by this. It was incredible. He really thought Kevin wasn''t listening, and


    that he was just talking to the wall, but he knew everything.


    "So you paid attention to me? I was under the impression that you didn''t want to hear a word about


    this," he said now in a rxed tone.


    Just as Sam was about to forgive Kevin, he felt bad once again after hearing Kevin''s cruel words. He


    was as hard as nails.


    "What you said is indeed boring, my friend. There is no point!" Kevin said tly, implying that it was


    Sam who didn''t make everything clear yet he still had the nerve to me Kevin for not listening.


    Hearing that, Sam didn''t take it kindly at all. He was, in fact, very hurt. "Kevin, that''s enough. Would you


    please show some respect for poor people like me of ordinary intelligence?"


    Kevin has always been the smartest of the two. Since they were children, he had constantly outdone


    Sam. Although thetter was very intelligent, he was still inferior to Kevin in almost every way.


    "To sum up what you said, the twopanies did not reach an agreement on the working capital of the


    project and you need my advice. Let me tell you something. You went on and on for fifteen minutes


    about such a simple thing, but you med me for not listening." Kevin grinned widely with unshaken


    confidence. Sam cursed internally, ''Why does he always have to show off his high IQ?''


    "I believe you are lying. You must be caught up in something else, because even if you are here


    standing next to me, your head has been somewhere else from time to time. Tell me, why do you keep


    looking at your watch then?" Sam asked in confusion, trying to decipher something from the look of his


    friend''s face.


    Seeing the smug expression on Kevin''s face, he knew that Kevin''s rtionship with Anne was getting


    better and better.

    His wife had suffered a lot before, but now it was Kevin''s turn to suffer.


    Kevin sighed, "I wonder if Anne has followed the timetable I set for her. She should be doing fetal


    education now."


    "Kevin—" Sam couldn''t stand it anymore and called his friend''s name out loud.


    When Kevin turned his head to look at him, Sam threw a pillow at his head and yelled, "Enough! Don''t


    you see each other every day? Why do you keep thinking about her?"


    Sam couldn''t stand the man''s disgustingly romantic disy of affection. He could only see Emily once


    a month. This wasn''t fair.


    "I''m leaving." He stormed out, purposefully mming the door to show his annoyance. After seeing his


    pal out the door, Kevin smiled out of nowhere.


    The day was getting longer and longer and the night couldn''te any sooner. At seven o''clock in the


    evening, a ck car passed through the dark road and slowly approached the gates.


    The gates were already opened by the servant. Kevin grabbed his possessions and made his way out


    the car. After such a busy workday, he definitely looked a little exhausted, but there was still a


    dominating air on him.


    "Where is Anne?" He gave the car key to the servant and waited eagerly for an answer.


    "In the study," the servant replied instantly without batting an eye.


    Kevin frowned, surprised by what he had just heard. "I see." He didn''t expect that response.


    He was about to me the servant for not reminding his dear wife to rest, but all of a sudden he


    remembered that he had not told her what to do at this hour, so he held back his temper and went


    straight to the study without saying anything further.


    The table in the study was dark red, like a beautiful ga. Anne was wearing a white ancient dress


    enhancing her enchanting silhouette. Kevin was entranced by her soft profile.


    Anne had always been a stunning woman. At this moment, she was looking graceful, almost like an


    angel. The soft light managed to absorb her figure. She seemed other-worldly. In Kevin''s eyes, she


    looked like a beauty out of a painting.


    Kevin didn''t want to disturb her or whatever his darling was doing, so he chose not to say anything and


    just gaze at his partner quietly.


    An hourter, Anne finished the sketch of her design. She put down the pencil and breathed a sigh of


    relief with a satisfied look on her face.


    She turned around and decided to put away all the stuff she was working with, when she suddenly saw


    her husband standing by the door staring at her without blinking.


    "Kevin, why are you here?" Anne asked timidly. She put her hand on the table, almost covering what


    she had been doing.
