Chapter 176 Both Anna and Amelia, He Wanted to Keep by His Side

In the past, Harold would probably continue chatting with Frederick even after being ignored like this.

After all, no matter what, he was considered Frederick's elder.

However, the food brand under the Kingsley family had suffered a heavy blow.

The investigation had concluded, but many stores still hadn't restocked their products.

Kasfee had more of Frederick's large stores.

If Frederick's stores stock their products, other stores will definitely follow suit.

So now he can only continue to please Frederick.

"Frederick, there's something I'd like to ask for your help with. Give me a chance. Can we talk alone?"

Harold looked at Frederick with a pleading expression.

Frederick walked to the door of Brittany's hospital room, looked in through the small window, and saw Anna sitting next to Brittany, feeding her with a spoon.

Brittany smiled, her eyes crinkling.

His gaze slightly darkened. He stopped in his tracks and raised his watch to check the time.

Harold hurriedly spoke again.

"Give me five minutes. Five minutes is all I need."

Inside the hospital room, Anna couldn't hold the spoon, and Amelia reached out to help her.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, such a heartwarming scene, Frederick wanted to keep it by his side, whether it was Amelia or Anna.

He turned expressionless and looked at Harold behind him.

Frederick said, "Let's talk at the coffee shop."

Harold heard this and was filled with joy. "Thank you, Frederick."

Cynthia saw that Harold and Frederick had business to discuss, so she left alone.

In the coffee shop.

Harold sat across from Frederick, facing his cold-faced nephew, feeling inexplicably nervous inside.

Harold said, "Frederick, I want you to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Frederick coldly interrupted him, "If the Kingsley family can give up custody of Anna and not disturb her, then the Hastings Group can provide a lifeline for the food products under the Kingsley family's name."

Harold's expression stiffened slightly, he looked at Frederick in surprise, not expecting this to be the condition he would propose.

He looked at Frederick inquisitively, trying to glean something from his stern expression.

Frederick's gaze remained cold. "If you can agree to this condition, we can talk. If not, let's not waste each other's time."

Harold's expression darkened slightly. He probably understood Frederick's intentions.

Harold asked, "Frederick, do you want custody of Anna?"

Frederick's face remained impassive.

Harold didn't get the answer he wanted and fell silent.

When the five minutes were up, Frederick stood up from the sofa.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Harold's expression changed slightly, and he immediately agreed, "Okay."

"I agree to your conditions," Frederick nodded slightly, emotionlessly saying, "Bring the contract to my office tomorrow."

Harold nodded. "Okay."

Frederick didn't say anything more to Harold and left.

Harold stood in place, watching Frederick's retreating figure, his expression grave.

Frederick had clearly said before that he wouldn't turn against women and Dylan.

But now he was prohibiting them from fighting for Anna's custody.

Could it be that Frederick actually had feelings for Amelia?

Thinking this, he quickly dismissed the idea.

After all, Amelia was Frederick's ex-wife, and Frederick's social status now was not the same as before. Any news about him would make headlines.

So, it was normal for him to protect Amelia now.

Although he promised Frederick not to fight for custody with Amelia, it didn't mean they couldn't acknowledge the child as part of the Kingsley family.

After all, Anna was Dylan's flesh and blood.

But for Harold now, the priority was to stabilize the Kingsley family first.

When Frederick returned to the hospital, Vincent was coming out with Anna in his arms.

Anna saw Frederick, and her face lit up with surprise.

"Uncle Frederick."

As she called out to Frederick, she reached out with both arms toward him.

Vincent was still holding a lunch box in his hand, almost not hugging Anna tightly.

Frederick quickly took Anna.

Anna smiled and hugged Frederick's neck.

"Uncle Frederick, tomorrow is my mommy's birthday. Do you have a birthday gift for my mommy?"

Her eyes sparkled, looking at Frederick with anticipation.

Daniel had already prepared a birthday gift for her mom, and she didn't want her favorite Uncle Frederick to be unprepared.

In Anna's mind, birthdays meant receiving gifts, and they had to be her favorite gifts.

"My mommy's favorite..."

Anna listed some fruits, animals, and colors that Amelia liked.

Watching her talk so much, Vincent couldn't help but smile. "Are you worried that Amelia won't like the gift Uncle Frederick gives?"

Anna nodded obediently.

"Uncle Frederick, you have to give Mommy a gift she likes."

Frederick nodded seriously and agreed. "Okay."

Seeing Frederick agree, Anna was satisfied.

At this moment, Vincent reached out again. "Anna, Uncle Frederick is going to see Brittany now. Do you want to go home with me?"

Anna didn't want to leave after seeing Frederick.

She hugged Frederick tightly, tilting her head. "Let's see Brittany again."

Vincent smiled helplessly. "Didn't we just see Brittany a moment ago?"

Anna pouted, reluctant to leave.

Frederick's heart softened, and he said gently, "I will take Anna home!"

Anna's eyes lit up, and she nodded.

Seeing this, Vincent sighed lightly. "Anna is a bit clingy. Will she not take up too much of your time?"

Frederick held Anna with one hand and casually took the lunch box from Vincent's hand, replying,

"I've already finished with work for today."

Vincent finally felt at ease.

Anna fell asleep on the way back to the Davis Manor.

Frederick drove into the Davis Manor's yard, stopped the car, and got out to open the door for Vincent.

Vincent held Anna with one hand, and Frederick helped with the lunch box.

Susan heard the commotion and came out to see Frederick helping Vincent carry things.

She quickly walked over and took the lunch box from Frederick's hand, thanking him politely.

After saying goodbye to Vincent with a humble expression, Frederick left.

Susan stood aside, feeling that Frederick now finally looked somewhat like a son-in-law of the Davis family.

It was a pity that he and Amelia had divorced, and he was no longer a son-in-law of the Davis family.

If this had been three years ago, and if Frederick had valued the Davis Manor as he did now, perhaps he and Amelia wouldn't have divorced.

Amelia wouldn't have to worry about losing custody of Anna all the time.
