Attracted By My Ex-wife

"What should I do? I told him I'd take him there, but he wouldn't let me. Worse, he insisted that you take him there. But there are too many people there! I don't think it's going to be safe!" Selma lamented. She had begun massaging her temples as she had already felt a nasty headache coming on.

Anne didn't know what to do with it, either.

Fortunately for her, Kevin had already arrived. The moment Eddy saw Kevin, fear bloomed in his chest. He was so terrified of him that he didn't even dare talk to him as casually as he did to Anne. Although he didn't understand why he felt that way, it just seemed that every time he said the same words to his parents, his father would definitely be angry.

Eddy lifted his head and looked directly at Kevin, his eyes filled with slyness.

"Dad, hug me," he suddenly crooned, a smile gracing his lips as he opened his arms wide.

Kevin had always found Eddy to be cold and aloof, and so he had never seen him be affectionate towards him like he was being now. Because of that, he felt overjoyed and immediately held his son in his arms.

"What's wrong?" Eddy wasn't the only one acting out of the norm—even Kevin seemed a bit gentler than he usually was.

Upon hearing this exchange, Annie rolled her eyes. She still couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with the way Eddy was behaving.

To her, his pitiful facade was nothing but an elaborate plan to get on Kevin's good side.

"Dad, it's not fun at home," Eddy squeaked out. His hands were clasped together and his eyes were wide as an innocent deer's.

Kevin's heart immediately melted at this sight. He felt that Eddy was indeed a little lonely as he was without a playmate at home.

"How about I send you to kindergarten later?" Kevin suggested, lowering his head so that his face was in front of Eddy's.

While Eddy didn't know what kindergarten was, he instantly felt that it wouldn't be as fun as riding flying cars.

"No! I don't want to go to kindergarten. I want to play with big flying cars!" Eddy answered, tears filling up his eyes.

Selma looked at him helplessly. She finally found out where Eddy excelled at: acting!

'How can a kid his age be so good at manipulating people's feelings?' she thought as she sighed discretely.

Taking into consideration Kevin's personality, it was very unlikely that he would agree with his son's request. With how Eddy was acting, however, it seemed like he was able to break down his father's defenses. "Okay, champ," Kevin said affectionately. "We will go tomorrow."

"I hope Mom will go too." Eddy added, finally revealing his true intentions.

While Kevin looked caught off guard by this particular request, Anne and Selma knew what was coming. Both of them just shook their heads in amazement and disbelief.

Eddy, on the other hand, looked incredibly pleased with himself. A satisfied smile rested on his lips as he hugged his father and rested his head on his shoulders.
