It was hard for him not to shake his head and smile. Anne was sleeping like a child and she looked absolutely adorable.
“Anne, don't let me down!” Kim said in a low voice as he swept her hair away from her face.
Kevin, who had been monitoring, was also asleep by then so he wasn't able to hear what Kim said.
For a long time, Kim just sat on the edge of the bed. He didn't get up until it was the middle of the night. From start to finish, Anne didn't have any idea that Kim was beside her.
In another note, Cherry was bothered by a lot of things. Recently, the most popular people were Anne and Kevin. They didn't even belong to the entertainment world!
After the divorce, it was hard to get a hold of the two since Anne disappeared from the public eye and Kevin was too powerful – no one dared to provoke him. So, Cherry was the only one people could reach in the scandal. She was invited to shows and programs since she was connected to the both of them.
Needless to say, Cherry did everything to demean Anne. She emphasized that she was just a victim and she felt very aggrieved.
The pristine good image of Kevin had been maintained and Anne's image as a slut was deeply ingrained in the public's mind. People who didn't know the truth truly felt bad for Cherry.
At first, Cherry thought that it would destroy her career. She didn't expect that Anne's actions would catapult her into fame. At the moment, no one could beat her position as a female star. She had infinite glory.
Once more, Cherry called Kevin.
It was very evident in Kevin's cold voice that he was getting impatient with her. With a threatening voice he said, “Cherry, you better behave yourself. Stop slandering Anne! Otherwise, I will definitely make you vanish in A City!”
It wasn't an empty threat. Kevin's influence and abilities guaranteed that he was telling the truth.
This was very surprising. Anne had abandoned him, yet he still wanted to protect her?
Wow! When did this man become so caring?
Anne left him already. Why was he still insisting on protecting her?
Her heart was full of ridicule for him, but Cherry was smart enough not to say it out loud. In a soft voice, she said, “Kevin, I only did that because I felt sorry for you. But the past is in the past so let's not mention it anymore. After all, we were both young back then. It was understandable for us to do something that we regret.
Then you chose Anne and you were nice to her, but she has now betrayed you. She's in love with Kim!
I know you're sad. I get it. I'm also sad and I feel sorry for you. Whenever Anne was mentioned on those programs, I couldn't help but feel so angry and that's why I said those words. I admit it's all my fault. Even so, I still love you and genuinely feel sorry for you!”
