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 young lad 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. Nonetheless, 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 glad 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 glasses. Gazing at Kevin, she raised her
glass 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 was laden 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 glass 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 glasses of wine, he felt drowsy. He blinked languidly and initially thought that it was
because he hadn't been getting a proper rest for the past few days. But the sudden onslaught of
sleepiness made him suspicious. His gaze settled on the now empty wine glass. 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 too late 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 accelerated. 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.

"According to our plan, 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 glance at her ally before her gaze travelled back to Kevin. She nodded again and
walked towards him.
