Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 157

A frown appeared on Kevin's face as soon as he heard Cherry's sickly sweet voice. For the past few days, she had been completely exhausting what little patience he had.

"Kevin, are you there?" she asked, thinking that the servant had told her the wrong information. But still, she didn't want to give up easily.

"Shut up! Can't you just leave me alone for a while?" His voice was loud and intimidating, showing not a sliver of mercy towards her.

With her lower lip trembling, she tightly held on to the pajamas. Her face paled as she felt how much Kevin thought of her as a burden. All the while, Selma had seen and heard everything that happened.

"What are you doing here?" Selma asked in an indifferent tone. Suddenly, Cherry came to her senses. Seeing Selma's condescending face, she wanted to snap at her angrily. However, this was Kevin's mother after all. Taking a deep breath, she flashed a gentle smile.

"I heard from the servant that Kevin was back, auntie. I just specially prepared his pajamas so he could change and be more comfortable." It took all of her energy not to burst out into anger.

"Someone will take care of everything for Kevin," Selma snorted. Then she looked up and down at Cherry. "I heard he let you take care of the baby. I don't see you doing your duties as a mother, and yet here you are bothering Kevin. Do you really think it's that easy to be a part of the Fu Family? That you can just be sweet to my son and you'll be welcomed with open arms?"

The fury in Cherry's heart rose even more. "How can you say something like that, auntie?" she asked through clenched teeth. At this point, she was having some trouble maintaining the smile on her face. "Haven't I done enough for Kevin? Well, even if it isn't enough, that doesn't mean I would stop working hard. Please just trust me, okay?"

Even though she was about to lose her temper, she knew that she couldn't fight against this woman head-on. Her goal was to marry Kevin and get the 'happily ever after' she wanted. When that happened, it was best if she had a good relationship with his mother.

"Humph! None of the Ye Clan's daughters is trustworthy! One is cruel and merciless, and the other is sly and conniving. Don't think that I don't know. Even if Kevin likes you, he will still have to seek my approval if anyone wants to become his wife." Although she didn't really hate Cherry before, she had to be on guard because of Anne.

The baby had been crying whenever Cherry was the one who was taking care of him, which made it hard to believe that Cherry was actually doing her part as a substitute mother. What was more, the Fus believed that there was nothing more important than a baby born into their family.

"I understand. But you need to have some faith in me, auntie. I really do like Kevin with all my heart." Knowing that the longer she stayed, the more Selma would resent her, she decided to make her leave after slightly bowing her head.

"I need to go now. It's time for the baby to eat. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, she immediately walked into the baby room.

In the warm room, a woven net hung protectively over the crib. Anne was the one who set it up when she saw the baby crying all the time.

There was also cute baby mobile with small bells hanging overhead. It spun around gently whenever the wind blew in from the windows, causing the bells to produce a soft, beautiful ringing sound. The baby stared up in wonder whenever the bells rang. Anne arranged this for the baby, so the baby could feel his mother's care and it was also a way to help the baby develop his senses.

"Ah --" The baby's soft crooning pierced Cherry's ears.

Walking over to the crib, she looked down at the squirming child, her eyes filled with hatred.

"I lost the love of my life ever since you came into this world. Why couldn't it just be me? Why?" Resentment for her mother coursed through her veins. If only her blood was as suitable as Anne's, it wouldn't be this difficult to get what she wanted.

"Ah --" the baby replied her with the most innocent babbling.

As she heard this voice, Cherry's hatred was aroused. Almost unthinkingly, she reached out to the baby, her hand ready to clasp over his neck. At this exact moment, the nanny came into the room.

Fear flashed in the nanny's eyes as she had clearly seen what Cherry was trying to do. Sensing that someone else was in the room, Cherry gently caressed the child's soft cheek. "Baby, are you awake?"

"Ah -" The child stretched out his hand and looked up the woven net. His eyes were so big and bright, like a crystal clear mountain lake.

"Oh there you are," Cherry said gently as she turned to the nanny. "Have you brought the medicine and milk?" The nanny sighed a breath of relief.

"I've brought them all here, miss. Let me feed him," the nanny said warily.

Back then, Cherry wasn't so keen to tend to the baby. Whenever the baby cried, she always said that she couldn't handle it and let the nanny do all the work.

"No, thanks. I can do it." Carefully lifting up the child, Cherry took him in her arms and got the feeding bottle. Even though she confidently offered to look after the baby, the nanny wasn't sure that she would able to handle it. Not wanting to leave the poor thing alone, the nanny quietly watched in the sidelines.

Holding back her temper, Cherry fed the baby bit by bit. Seeing that the baby was about to finish drinking the entire bottle, the nanny quickly stepped in and stopped her,

"Miss, you can't feed him anymore. He is too young. If you feed him too much, he might get sick and vomit." Remaining calm, Cherry stopped immediately and then proceeded to pat the baby's back gently.

"All that's left is his medicine, miss." The nanny poured the medicine into a small spoon and handed it over to Cherry.

At once, the baby opened his mouth and swallowed the spoon's contents obediently.

As he smacked his lips, he frowned and scrunched up his little face, probably feeling aggrieved at the bitter taste of the medicine.

"There. All done. I'll be going now, miss," the nanny said as she left the room.
