Attracted By My Ex-wife

In the Luo Family's mansion.

A soft carpet the color of sky blue was spread around the living room, lending a warm, summery feeling to the space.

Eddy's eyes was immediately beguiled by the color and toddled toward it, a big smile on his face as he stepped on the carpet.

It was his first time at the Luo Family's house. Despite his new surroundings, he was completely at ease.

Already, he was the spitting image of his father. Anyone would be able to see that he was Kevin's son.

"Is this our little Edward?" Liam asked.

He beamed at the sight of his grandson. Perhaps it was because he was his grandfather, but he thought he had never seen a child more lovely.

The boy's presence was a blessing. With him here, Anne and Liam felt the stiffness between them dissipate, if only for a little. Anne nodded at the old man's question and said, "We all call him Eddy."

"Okay," Liam smiled at her, then walked towards his grandson and hung a golden locket around his neck.

"This is a gift. I want him to have his own keepsake from me. Just think of it as humoring an old man's selfishness," he explained, his words laid out cautiously. He and Anne had only begun to mend their bond. Liam did not want to offend her, especially since she had taken it upon herself to take the boy to see him.

Once again, Eddy bridged the gap of their estrangement.

"Okay. Thank you," Anne answered. She could not find it in herself to refuse. She could see how the old man's eyes lit up when he looked at Eddy.

Eddy grabbed the locket with his little hand and looked at it with wide, curious eyes. The next moment, he opened his mouth and put it in his mouth.

At this, Liam became a bit anxious. He had given Eddy the golden locket as a good luck charm for a long and healthy life, but seeing how the child was nibbling at it, he began to doubt the wisdom of his choice.

He crouched down and reached out to take the locket, but Eddy only gripped it tighter, unwilling to let go. There was a flash of possession in his eyes, as if he was arguing that it was his and no one could take it away.

Liam wanted to chuckle at his stubbornness, but he had to take the locket from the child.

Using just enough strength, he pried it off his hands and away from his neck. Liam watched Eddy's expression carefully, anticipating his crying. To his surprise, the boy just stared at him, albeit with displeasure, but remained silent.

Rose smiled at her father's evident surprise. Her nephew really was something special.

Liam sat down on the sofa and said to Eddy, "Be good. I will give it to you when you won't be biting it anymore."

Eddy looked at Liam from the floor. His eyes went next to the sofa. The next moment, his small hands gripped at the cushions and he decided to climb up. However, the sofa was a little higher than his waist, so he fell back down before he was able to raise himself up.
