Kim and Anne loved each other so it was only natural for them to be together. Since it was going to be
dusk soon, Anne started becoming a little anxious.
But no matter what happened, she would never betray Kevin.
After dinner, the two of them walked upstairs with Anne following Kim. Then, Kim took a look at the
nervous Anne and walked into the bedroom.
The big bed was daunting. Anne’s body trembled as she slowly raised her head and looked at him. She
bit her lips.
“Good night!” Anne's mouth twitched with nervousness. She immediately turned around after spitting
out those two words.
“Do you know where your room is?” His voice called out from behind. It was apparent from the tone
that he was smiling.
A beat passed. Anne turned around and said, “No, you haven't told me yet.”
Slightly, Kim shook his head and strode off. This made Anne sigh out of relief.
On another place, Kevin, who was also greatly nervous, breathed a sigh of relief too.
The two ended up at the guest room. Anne immediately went inside and said, “It's late. I won't keep you
here.”
However, Kim stopped her from closing the door. Anne turned pale and warily stared at him.
Then, he reached out and stroked her face. His touch felt cold. It was like a snake was sliding across
her face and it made her shiver.
“Anne, now you look more familiar to me.” It seemed like Anne's vigilance gave him the illusion that she
wasn't affected by the drug at all.
But how could that be possible? Kim ordered many people to undergo experiments and all of them
failed to escape the drug's control. Also, if it weren't for the drug, how could Anne be willing to divorce
Kevin? Additionally, she even risked her life for this!
Inside, Anne's heart beat wildly but outside, she still looked calm. She was only biting her lip.
Anne knew that she shouldn't run away when faced with the man she loved, but she really couldn't do it
like she was crazy for Kim when she was drugged.
With a slightly troubled expression, Anne asked softly, “How should I behave to make you feel familiar
to me?”
The hand on her face froze and Kim slowly took it back down. He smiled and shook his head, “Anne,
you don't have to be so scared. Don't worry. I won't force you unless you are willing to do it.
Goodnight."
After that reassurance, he turned around and left without any delay. Anne breathed another sigh of
relief at his retreating back.
Sure, Kim was cunning and evil, but there was one good thing about him. He wasn't the kind of man
who would force himself on others!
This quality of his even made Kevin, who heard the conversation, slightly raise his eyebrows. For the
first time in his life, Kim had left a good impression on him.
Anne was kidnapped for two years but she was never sexually assaulted. This was because Kim had
his limits despite everything. Knowing this made Anne and Kevin feel relieved.
Finally, Anne closed the bedroom door. She didn't want to be careless so she immediately checked
every nook and cranny of the room to make sure that there wasn't anything that could monitor her.
Then she made a sign of relief and sprawled on the bed.
Since Kim was so smart, Anne had to pay attention to her emotions all the time. It wasn't good to
appear too calm or too enthusiastic. The perfect balance of emotions was so hard to grasp that it
almost made her crazy.
“Kevin, I'm very safe. Don't worry. There were some ups and downs today but I'm fine now." With the
necklace close to her lips, Anne updated Kevin. She knew that he was monitoring the whole situation
the entire time.
Her voice was so gentle and full of longing that it made Kevin smile in contentment.
“You did a good job Anne. Remember, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or not. The most
important thing is for you to protect yourself and ensure your safety,” Kevin replied gently even though
he knew Anne couldn't hear him.
“It's very tiring to pretend. Right now, I suddenly feel so sorry for Peter.” As she spoke those words, her
eyes closed due to tiredness.
Everyone was an individual person and should live their own life. Peter lived as another person and
Anne was also doing it now. It was really very tiring to pretend like this.
As she lay on the bed, worrisome thoughts of being exposed still haunted her. She fell asleep in that
state, surrounded by a bad atmosphere.
In the study, Kim and Peter sat and faced each other with cautious expressions.
“As far as I know, Kevin loves Anne very much. He wouldn't just give up even if Anne threatened him
with her life. But now, he did give up which is really unexpected.” Peter took a sip of wine and looked at
Kim with a faint smile. “Maybe the beauty in front of you is a rose with thorns.”
Slightly, Kim frowned and drank the remaining wine in his glass.
Many doubts actually accompanied Anne's sudden return. Kevin loved her and even though she
threatened him with her life, it was hard to imagine that he would compromise and easily let her go.
However, under the drug's control, Anne was expected to hate Kevin. It was impossible for her to
collude with him.
Now, it seemed like every explanation was unconvincing.
“She just came back. Of course, many things are still uncertain,” Kim explained as he shook his head.
The explanation was met with raised eyebrows, but Peter didn't say anything else. As the saying went,
the heroes always fall in love with beauties. Since Kim was madly in love with Anne, it meant that he
had a weakness. It just wasn't certain if that weakness could lead to his demise.
After some time, Kim walked to the guest room. He inserted the key into the lock and opened it. He
saw that Anne had already fallen asleep.
