Attracted By My Ex-wife 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 we come 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 become 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. Kevin laid his hand on the little boy's head and stroked his soft hair.

"Eddy, it's not convenient for Mommy to come 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's complete attention. "Dad, what is a younger brother?" The
child had a puzzled look on his face.

Anne gave him a quizzical glance. 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 explained
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 particular.
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 exclaimed, "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 he come 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
comforted him patiently. He patted his son on the back in order to show reassurance.

Having heard her partner's explanation, 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 the last 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't comment 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 similar 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 clasping together, an idea came to
her mind.

In the East Mountain Villa.

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 astonishing landscape.

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

Anne was resting in a cushioned chair accompanied by some books about jade sitting on the table in
front of her.

Ever since Eddy mentioned the ring, or rather the lack 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 platter on her hand and
reminded her of the schedule planned 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 the lady to follow the detailed
plan.

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 it later." 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 hour later, you must drink your water, so I'll bring
you a full warm glass. 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 accompany 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 playing a practical joke on her. She felt
a headache incoming. 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 black as Kevin's suit.

Above his head was a European-style retro chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Kevin glanced 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 hour later, 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?" Sam complained
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 to comfort 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 our company'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 was completely 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 relaxed 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 flatly, implying that it was
Sam who didn't make everything clear yet he still had the nerve to blame 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 the latter was very intelligent, he was still inferior to Kevin in almost every way.

"To sum up what you said, the two companies 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 blamed 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 relationship 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 display of affection. He could only see Emily once
a month. This wasn't fair.

"I'm leaving." He stormed out, purposefully slamming 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't come any sooner. At seven o'clock in the
evening, a black 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 blame 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 garnet. 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 hour later, 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.
