Renewal Of Love
Chapter 471 Bob's Mother (Part Two)

If a mother lost her child, she would suffer from ambiguous grief by feeling like life wasn't worth living anymore. But once the child returned, it automatically rekindled her desire to live again. The past pain might not heal, but Eddy's smile could wash away a thousand miseries in Bob's mother's life, making it bright once again.

With Eddy by her side, Bob's mother became very stable. She kept on staring at the boy lovingly, but her deep gaze was looking through him, longing for another child.

Sometimes it crossed Anne's mind that Bob must be in heaven looking down at his mother, sending his warmest blessings. Otherwise, how could she bounce back so quickly?

When Bob's father saw the improvement, he felt relieved and said to Anne, "Thank you so much for doing this."

Anne shook her head and smiled, "It's no trouble at all. As long as Bob's mother can pull through and regain back her strength, it's worth doing anything."

Bob's father watched Eddy from where he stood with the same doting look and a heartwarming smile. After a while, he turned back to Anne and said, "You have been staying here with Eddy for several days now. I'm sorry for all the trouble. Tons of work must be waiting for you in A City. I'll talk this over with my wife tonight and let you leave soon. If ever we miss Eddy, we can always schedule a visit. Do you think it's all right if we do that?"

While the Fu Family was a prominent clan, Bob's parents were only ordinary people. If it hadn't been for a series of events, they wouldn't have gotten this close to the Fu Family.

Once Eddy went back home, they would naturally have to get Anne's approval if they decided to come down for a short visit.

Anne pursed her lips inadvertently as she focused her attention on Eddy and Bob's mother, who couldn't stop smiling.

Because of Eddy's presence, Bob's mother was acting like she was cured. But as a mother, Anne knew that the woman was only doing her best to suppress the fear in her heart.

Once Eddy left, her condition would only worsen. So she decided that letting Eddy stay longer would be the wisest decision.

Also, Eddy was a precocious child who could quickly grasp his kindergarten curriculum without having to study much.

His smartness was one of the many reasons why Anne and Kevin felt so proud of him.

"There are things I needed to take care of in A City, so I can't extend my stay here. However, I will allow Eddy to hang around so he can be with your wife for a few more days." Anne looked at Bob's father and nodded with a soft smile.

Surprised, he looked back at Anne while rendered speechless. After a long silence, he nodded repeatedly.

He felt astonished that Anne would grant such a huge favor.

Meanwhile, Anne's phone kept ringing off the hook. It was Rose calling, whom Anne had earlier promised to provide work for in her company. Just before Anne left A City, she had put Rose in charge of dealing with the company's business on her behalf, even though the company wasn't operational yet.

"Anne, all the talk about the latest outfit you designed for Cherry begins to die down. If we don't seize this chance to open, we might have to wait for the next opportunity." Rose's voice carried a bit of helplessness in it.

Initially, they were sprucing the last details for the company's grand opening, but because of Bob's mother's matter, they encountered delays.

A few days had passed since Cherry's appearance at the award ceremony impressed everyone. But with many things going on constantly in the entertainment circle, the people would gradually forget Cherry's brief moment in the limelight quickly.

Postponing something after the public's hype and enthusiasm had died down was never a good decision.

"We will do the ribbon-cutting tomorrow morning. I will make it in time." Anne sounded calm and firm, yet there was a hint of hesitation in her voice. Meantime, Rose was ecstatic to hear it. After saying a few more words to Anne, she hung up the phone and went to arrange tomorrow's opening ceremony. At noon, Anne and Eddy went to eat lunch together.

Anne took a piece of chicken and placed it on Eddy's plate. As she looked at his round face, the corners of her mouth hooked into a loving smile.

Even at a young age, Eddy was so brave to take on such a big responsibility.

Most kids had good digestion. Eddy felt very hungry, so he took one big bite before noticing Anne staring at him. He asked in confusion, "Mom, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something going on?"

Anne gripped the chopsticks more tightly after hearing his question. She nodded, put the chopsticks down, and replied, "Eddy, my company will open tomorrow, so I'm needed back in the office. I have to leave for A City, and I wondered if you're willing to stay with Bob's parents for two more days. What are your thoughts about it?"

Eddy's heart skipped a beat after hearing Anne's words. Then he rolled his eyes and said accusingly, "Come on, Mom. You know that since we first got here, even if you're with me, I was staying with Bob's mom the entire time, wasn't I?"

The corners of Anne's mouth twitched with Eddy's statement. Anne felt weak and powerless. It was true that Eddy had been away from her during their whole stay.

"Mom, you may leave. Don't worry about me. I will eat properly and take extra care of Bob's mother," assured Eddy. With a smile, he picked up another drumstick using his chopsticks and put it on Anne's plate. His insight moved Anne's heart, and she nodded heavily at that moment.

After lunch, Anne gave Eddy a debit card and said a few words to Bob's parents before heading to the airport.

When Selma heard about it, she strongly opposed the idea. But with Eddy's persistence, she eventually agreed. However, she told Anne to bring Eddy back within a week.

In Selma's opinion, even though Eddy had immense gratitude to Bob's parents for receiving Bob's heart, this responsibility should be exchanged with money instead of sacrificing himself.

Moreover, Eddy was the Fu Family's successor, so he should reside in the Fu Family's household. Simultaneously, Bob's parents were not qualified to have Eddy stay with them, let alone have him call them Dad and Mom.

After all, it was only a little heart that he took.
