Attracted By My Ex-wife

As soon as the door opened, Carl stood up. His smile grew bigger as his gaze fell upon his great-grandson. Eddy was adorned in exquisite clothes. Carl felt like he was ten years younger when he saw this lovely boy.

"Eddy, come here," Carl called, opening his arms wide.

At that moment, Eddy and Anne came inside, accompanied by a servant. When Eddy saw Carl, his face brightened up as he gave a toothy smile.

"Great-grandpa!"

His excited voice echoed across the hall, different from the last time when Carl met him. ‘He’s so cute!’ Carl thought to himself.

He was getting older and lonelier by the day, but meeting his great-grandson made him very happy. He liked Eddy very much. Despite his weakness, Carl picked up Eddy as he ran up to hug his great-grandpa.

"Grandpa, you don't have to pick up Eddy. He has gained some weight recently," Anne said.

Although Anne spoke in a low voice, Carl could tell that she really cared about him.

"It okay, Eddy isn’t heavy. He is a treasure." Carl made no secret of his praise for Eddy.

"Great-grandpa, I can count now!" Eddy announced excitedly.

Carl raised his eyebrows and asked, "Anne, did you teach him? My great-grandson is just a little boy, but he can already count. So smart!" Carl praised sincerely.

Anne, on the other hand, was surprised. ‘When did Eddy learn? Why didn't I know about this?’ she pondered.

"Maybe Kevin taught him," Anne said uncertainly, although Kevin never really had much time to teach Eddy.

"It was Grandma." Eddy beamed, looking up at Carl.

Selma knitted her brows together. She didn't remember ever teaching Eddy to count.

"I remember." The servant spoke, causing all eyes to shift in her direction.

Her mouth hung open, as she looked at Eddy in surprise. This was because the child in front of her was too smart.

"Tell me," Carl said. He was interested to know who taught Eddy.

The servant was a little embarrassed as she spoke. "I'm old and have a bad memory. I have to count everything. When I buy vegetables, I have to count them. When Mr. Kevin and Miss Anne are busy, sometimes I take the young master with me. He follows along when I count. It’s clear now that the young boy is really smart," the servant praised, a warm smile on her face.

As Carl heard this, his curiosity peaked. "Eddy, count for me!"
