Of course, Ryan and Anne were unaware of other people's thoughts. Meanwhile, Peter led Anne into
the office.
The instant she pushed the door open, her body stiffened. Sitting on the chair was a man with a sly
smile and frivolous look. His whole body exuded a familiar cold aura she never wanted to feel again.
She felt disgusted at the sight of him. She loathed him so much that she unconsciously clenched her
teeth. Albeit unwillingly, she had to pretend to be dumb and astounded in front of him. Slowly, she
closed her eyes and feigned a look of grievance.
Kim raised his eyebrows upon seeing her like this. He had no choice anyway. The Anne in front of her
was not the same Anne as before.
The woman standing before him was the woman he had ever dreamt of.
"Anne, I'm sorry I made you suffer." Kim stood up and walked over to her. He then hugged her so tightly
in his arms as though he was afraid that he would lose her again.
Anne's eyes were closed, yet there was a cold aura in them. His masculinity, while he hugged her,
made her very uncomfortable, but she could not push him away. She could only feel helpless inside his
embrace.
Standing aside, Peter frowned while watching the two. He wanted to sit in the room, but he felt that
what was happening was intimate and dazzling. But instead of staying, he took his cup and walked out
of the office. He figured it would be better if he left them alone.
At first, everyone was curious about what the CEO would do after taking Anne into his office. As they
saw him come out, they pretended to pass by him and hurry away, afraid that they would be caught.
Ryan instructed his assistant not to let anyone enter the office. Afterward, he went to every department
to check the work.
Of course, the reason why he did that was that he had nothing else to do.
"Why didn't you show up until now? Do you know how much I've missed you? You're so cruel! Why
didn't you even call me? I thought you had abandoned me!" Every word that left Anne's mouth made
her want to vomit. She could not stand it anymore. When she ran out of words to say, she pushed Kim
away and complained while wearing an aggrieved expression.
Kim's eyes widened in surprise. For some reason, he did not react to Anne's whining.
Before, Anne had been strong and tolerant. Even if she had been wronged, she never showed her pain
in front of others. But now, she was complaining to him. It was unlike her.
Although it was Kim who changed Anne, he doubted for a second if the woman in front of him was
actually Rose.
Anne met Kim's eyes. Her body stiffened a little, and she lowered her head timidly. Surprisingly, his
eyes seemed scrutinizing and doubtful. In her heart, she felt confused. Could it be that she acted too
much that Kim noticed something wrong?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Anne raised her head and asked cautiously.
Kim just smiled awkwardly as a response. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her hair. "You
just seem a little different. In the past, you never complained despite being aggrieved, so I was stunned
for a moment," he answered helplessly.
Hearing that, Anne regretted overdoing her pretension, but...
"Alas!" With a heavy sigh, Anne shared, "A few days ago, I almost died forcing Kevin to divorce me.
Honestly, I really thought that that was the end of me. I didn't really think that I'd be alive. It made me
realize that I didn't care about anything anymore. It didn't matter what would happen as long as I could
be with the person I love."
Kim's heart ached. He could not help but feel remorseful upon hearing her words. "I'm so sorry, Anne.
Believe me, I really do. Please don't take it to heart."
A wry smile formed on Anne's face, and she shook her head slowly. "I've already divorced Kevin, and
we can finally be together. You won't leave me again, right? We will be together forever, won't we?"
She looked at Kim expectantly with bright eyes. Her delicate face made her irresistible in Kim's eyes.
But as he looked at her, a slight frown appeared on his face. Anne was acting strange, and he felt his
feelings for her had somewhat changed.
But was this not what he wanted? If it were not for the injection, would Anne talk to him gently?
In this world, gains and losses came together. Kim smiled gently at her and nodded in agreement. "Yes.
We'll always be together. I'll never leave your side again. Let's leave A City and find a place where
nobody knows and live happily forever!"
Anne nodded enthusiastically. She now wore a brighter smile as though living with Kim was the best
thing in the world.
It was a pity though. Her heart was stone cold now. Never in her life would she live happily with him!
Kim stepped forward and held her in his arms again. Anne's body stiffened for a second, but she tried
her best to relax.
Kim, although as cunning as a fox, had no idea that there was a recorder hidden in Anne's exquisite
necklace.
On the other side, Kevin was eavesdropping.
He was listening to Kim and Anne's conversation with a deep frown. His beloved woman was
expressing her feelings to another man! It was driving him nuts!
Of course, he knew it was fake, but still he felt uncomfortable.
"Mr. Kevin, Mrs. Anne is with Kim now. We have located their position. Should we take action and catch
Kim now?" asked the policeman in a low voice while looking at Kevin.
Kevin had asked for the police's help to catch Kim. Nevertheless, the police had to listen to his
command first before taking action.
Kevin shook his head, his eyes cold and murderous. "Kim's men are not in A City. If we take action
now, it will alert the enemy and possibly cause complications. Once we take action, we must make sure
that none of them will escape."
It was definitely not a good time to make a move yet. They had to secure Anne's safety first and wait
for the perfect opportunity to strike!
