Chapter 384 Being Framed By Anne (Part One)


    The long wait was killing Kevin with anticipation. Therefore, as soon as he heard the door creak open,


    his head snapped up. His eyes lit up at the sight of Anne, whose lips were curled up into a small smile


    as she looked back at him fondly.


    Kevin''s heart thudded.


    Anne''s soft gaze made Kevin''s heart filled with warmth. In that moment he got the glimpse of the Anne


    he knew before. He stood up in a hurry, like a youngd who suddenly saw his beloved girl.


    Putting the key aside, Anne took out a bottle of red wine from her bag and smiled at Kevin.


    "Anne? I..." Kevin opened and closed his mouth. For some reason, he couldn''t form proper sentences


    when in front of Anne.


    Anne said gently, "Kevin, we have spent so many happy days in the past. Although my feelings for you


    have changed now, I believe that we will be able to work this out together and give our children the


    happiness that they deserve."


    Hearing this, Kevin nodded heavily before he stepped forward and held Anne in his arms. She stiffened


    slightly but did not pull away from his hold. Nheless, he loosened his grip a little but did not


    completely release her from the embrace. If she wanted to, he would let her go.


    For the sake of their children, Anne was willing to try to fall in love with him again, which was enough


    for Kevin.

    "Anne, I am d to hear that." He nuzzled her hair, smiling indulgently.


    Anne frowned. The intimacy made her feel uneasy. She pushed at Kevin''s chest lightly, pulling away


    from his grasp.


    Kevin was not anxious or angry because he knew that what Anne needed now was time to adapt to the


    current situation.


    "Since we are going to begin anew, how can there be no good wine and delicious food? Look, I''ve


    brought good wine and I have also ordered good food." She smiled as she raised her hand that was


    holding the bottle.


    Kevin nodded. True to her words, within a few minutes, the food arrived. He started setting the table.


    "Anne, next time we can maybe cook ourselves," he suggested with a gentle smile. It would not only


    give them the opportunity to spent some time together but also strengthen their bond.


    Anne gave a wordless nod. Whatever Kevin said, she would just agree.


    She opened the cork and poured some red wine in two wine sses. Gazing at Kevin, she raised her


    ss and smiled. "To us. We will definitely get back to the way we were before."


    Kevin raised a toast as well. But he frowned slightly after taking a sip. The wine was a little bitter but he


    brushed off the thought. As long as it was given by Anne, he would drink it, even if it were the deadly


    poison.


    Anne put some vegetables in Kevin''s bowl. Shaking her head slightly, she said, "It''s all my fault. I''m too


    willful. I''ve been asking to divorce you all the time, so you can''t even go back to home. You must have


    suffered a lot these days. I can see you''ve lost some weight. You should take good care of yourself."


    Her gaze wasden with concern.


    Kevin smiled, secretly happy to see her worry about him. He looked down at the bowl and immediately


    started digging in.


    Anne promptly filled his ss again and he unsuspectingly drank it. Looking at her smile, he only felt


    happy.


    Kevin would never have thought in his wildest imagination that he would be tricked and framed by


    Anne.


    After drinking two sses of wine, he felt drowsy. He blinkednguidly and initially thought that it was


    because he hadn''t been getting a proper rest for the past few days. But the sudden onught of


    sleepiness made him suspicious. His gaze settled on the now empty wine ss. He furrowed his


    eyebrows. A horrible idea cropped up in his foggy brain. Did Anne drug him?


    "Anne, what did you put in the wine?" Kevin''s speech was almost slurred. He still managed to look at


    her with disbelief.


    But it was toote for him to take any action. He should have been more cautious. But Anne would


    never have done something of this sort in the past but it seemed that her character had changed.


    Anne stared at him impassively. Then she smiled gently, even though that smile held no warmth. She


    said indifferently, "Kevin, do you think that I won''t do anything to you if you supposedly sacrifice for me


    by not returning home or not mentioning a word about divorce to me? Now, I want everything back to


    the way it was." Her tone was demanding as she looked at him coldly.


    "Back to the way it was?" he murmured. Baffled, Kevin shook his head, trying to focus, but his vision


    gradually turned blurry. He frowned and wondered, ''What on earth has Anne put in the wine? How


    could it be so strong?''


    "Yes, and when you wake up, you will find it on your own."


    Anne''s tone was tinged with excitement. Kevin''s heartbeat elerated. He had a bad premonition.


    What did she want to do?


    However, no matter how strong his body was, the drug''s effect on his body was stronger. Soon Kevin''s


    senses were engulfed in oblivion. His head lolled and fell on the table with a loud thump.


    Anne immediately took out her phone from her pocket and dialed Cherry''s number. A few moments


    later, there was a knock on the door.


    Opening the door, Anne looked at Cherry and offered her an icy tight-lipped smile. "Now you should


    believe me. I didn''t lie to you, did I?"


    Cherry nodded as her gaze settled on the unconscious Kevin and didn''t refute Anne. She felt relieved.


    "ording to our n, I will bring reporters here in an hour. You need to be more efficient," Anne said


    to her as she picked up her bag.


    Cherry spared a nce at her ally before her gaze travelled back to Kevin. She nodded again and


    walked towards him.
