It was the first time that he had regarded her opinion.
Anne continued chewing on the fish, thinking of an appropriate response. Raising her head, she spoke
without any hesitation. "They can be together again because of my help. If they ever get married, I
think I should receive a red envelope. It could be their reward to me for my altruism."
After all, she was the matchmaker.
Kim's gaze settled on her eyes. When he saw the sincerity in them, all of his suspicions dissipated. He
couldn't help but chuckle in response, "Anne is right. It's all because of her that they can be together
again!"
She smiled along with him, continuing to eat her food, but her heart sank.
She knew that no matter what happened, Kevin would never accept Cherry into his life again. He must
have his reasons, but Anne trusted him full-heartedly.
Kim's last question was obviously a test. She couldn't help but wonder if he had started suspecting her
already.
If so, it would be really bad!
At that moment, Anne sighed in her heart. She had to be more cautious from now on. What was even
more spiteful was that Kim had decided to stay in A City, instead of going back to his base camp. She
had no clue as to where his camp could be.
Perhaps, she needed more time. The chance that Kim would find out the truth was a worrying
circumstance for Anne. She couldn't imagine anything more horrible.
She feared Kim would hit rock-bottom and do something crazy if he got out of control.
Since she was already amid her worst fears, Anne decided to plan for the worst-case scenario. This
time, no matter what, she had to succeed!
Kim and Peter exchanged a suspecting glance with each other, silently questioning as they raised their
eyebrows at the same time. Anne's performance was perfect just now without any doubt. But the more
impeccable her performance was, the more suspicious it was.
After dinner, Anne lounged in the living room. As she laid on a sofa, her small body was entirely
concealed. She looked so weak and tiny.
Seeing that, Kim frowned to himself as he slowly sat beside her. When she noticed him, she acted
naturally and leaned into his arms.
Kim's body instantly stiffened, his eyes darkening. His face became expressionless. Much to his
surprise, Anne didn't even notice as she was too absorbed in watching a cartoon.
Her eyes were focused on the cartoon, a faint smile appearing on her face. Although she was looking
at the screen, her mind was elsewhere.
Mostly it was children that watched cartoons, Kim realized.
Casting his eyes downward, he asked gently, "Anne? Do you miss your kids?"
Long ago, when Anne lived with Kim, she had Simon. But now, she didn't have any children with her.
Without a second's thought, Anne nodded as she replied in a miserable voice, "Yes. I do miss my
children."
It was normal for a mother to miss her kids, wasn't it?
Kim tightened his fists instinctively. Whether it was before or after the drug, her children were always
important in Anne's eyes.
It reminded him of why he loved her so much.
Lowering his head, he rubbed his chin against her hair. He spoke in an assertive voice. "Anne, give
birth to my baby!"
All of a sudden, Anne's body went rigid. Her eyes widened in shock as she doubted if she had
misheard. What did Kim say just now?
'Oh my God! Does Kim want me to give birth to his baby?' she deliberated.
She was undercover and planned to send Kim as well as his men to prison, but none of her plans
included giving birth to his baby.
Kevin was monitoring on the other side and instantly stopped in his tracks. He set his jaw, clenching his
fists.
'Damn this bastard! What did Kim say just now? Anne belongs to me and the only child she can have is
with me. Who does he think he is?' he cursed to himself.
Gritting his teeth, he suddenly stood up with the car keys in hand. If Kim dared to try anything, he was
prepared to rush over immediately.
Anne's mind was in chaos. She knew the right thing to do was to agree and tell Kim she was willing to
have his baby. It would easily help her and not arouse any suspicions. But if she agreed, she feared
that he would ask to sleep with her tonight. She was torn between her two options.
No! Absolutely not! She wouldn't do anything to betray Kevin.
She couldn't decide which option was worse. Besides, she couldn't intentionally let herself trample on
her rock bottom.
Feeling tangled and distracted, Anne bit on her lower lip. Kim's laughter broke her out of her reverie.
"Anne, why aren't you answering? What are you thinking about?"
Smiling awkwardly, Anne replied, "Of course I want to give birth to your baby. But it seems rather rash
to hear you say that out of the blue. Besides, we are still staying at Peter's house."
Kim nodded. "You're right, we can't have a baby here. We just have to wait a while. When everything is
ready, you can't refuse me again."
A flush crept up Anne's face and she gave an embarrassed smile. Her hands subconsciously played
with the necklace around her neck.
Kevin also breathed a sigh of relief. He put the car keys back on the table and continued monitoring.
He felt fortunate that nothing happened to Anne just now.
After she had calmed down a bit, Anne returned to the cartoon playing on the screen. She had no idea
what she was watching at all. Her heart dropped, wondering if her act just now had revealed any flaws.
She feared putting the whole operation at risk with one error.
