Renewal Of Love

Chapter 548 Marry Me (Part One)

But Anne grew desperate as people continued to tell that Kevin had died.

She held her head in her hand and burst into tears. Her body grew limp; she slumped to the ground.

'Kevin, where are you? Where on earth are you?

I know that all of this is your plan, and you are hiding from everyone. But you have to understand that I

am worried about you. Tell me where you are. Please call me as soon as you can!' Anne said to

herself, hoping that Kevin would miraculously hear the laments of her heart.

"Honey..." Selma hugged Anne as fresh tears streamed down her face. "We, too, are reluctant to

believe that Kevin is no longer with us. But do you think he'd survive a fall from such a height?"

"Has anyone found his body?" Anne asked, cocking her head to the side.

Selma frowned, shaking her head.

Anne angrily wiped the tears from her face. She sprang to her feet and walked to her room like a

lifeless puppet. Everyone watched her leave, not knowing what to do.

She stood near her bed and took the photo frame from the table. It was a picture of Anne and Kevin

smiling happily.

The photo had captured her happiness, reminding her how happy she had been with Kevin.

"Kevin, I won't believe that you are dead even if the entire world says so. I won't accept that you are

gone unless I see your corpse. I know that you are living somewhere, so come to me soon!" Anne

mumbled, nestling the photo frame against her chest.

When Colin had gone missing, everyone believed that he was dead. However, the man was under

Kim's custody. Colin had managed to survive the torture.

She thought that it was the same case with Kevin as well.

Her husband couldn't be dead.

After Anne's persistence, Selma had asked the servants to remove the white decorations from the villa. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Everything was back to normal. However, the magnificent villa was eerily silent and joyless. It seemed

as if the spirit of the family had died after Kevin had left them.

Everyone was waiting to find any information about Kevin. They were desperate to find if the man was

dead or alive.

However, no one could discover anything that might lead them to him. It was as if Kevin had never lived

in this world.

In the following days, Anne locked herself in the study. The servants brought her food. The woman

made sure to empty her bowl regardless of how much food they gave her. She ate twice as much as

she usually would.

Anne had to be strong enough to wait for Kevin. She wanted everyone to know that her husband would

never leave her.

However, things only seemed to get worse. Sam called Anne to inform her that someone was trying to

secretly acquire the stocks of the AN Group.

Anne knew what the acquisition would do to the company.

She also knew who was behind the problems.

"Sam, now that Kevin is gone, I have to take care of the company and my children!" Anne sounded

strangely calm.

The Fu Family had shed their blood and sweat to build the company. It belonged to her husband and

children. Anne would never let anyone take the AN Group from them.

She would fight until her last breath to make sure the company didn't fall into the hands of the wrong

person.

That day, Anne went to see Kim.

The man wasn't surprised. He looked at Anne with expressionless eyes.

"Kim, the company belongs to the Fu Family. You better quit trying to acquire the AN Group!" The usual

confidence in her eyes had disappeared. Her eyes looked strangely unfocused. She was desperate to

do anything to ensure the company belonged to them. "Tell me your condition. What do you want?"

Kim's underworld group was long destroyed; he didn't need a lot of money to run it either. The wealth

and money he possessed were enough for him to live a comfortable life. Anne knew that Kim was only

using the company as bait to have what he needed.

She knew the man well enough to understand the reason behind his every move.

A cunning smile stretched across his lips. "Anne, whether you accept or not, Kevin is dead. You are still

young, and your children have a long way to go. You can't be a widow for the rest of your life and take

care of them all by yourself. Why don't you marry me?"

Anne shook her head in disbelief. She had been thinking that the man despised her. He wanted to drag

her to hell. Why did he want to marry her now?

As if he had read Anne's mind, Kim scoffed and stepped closer to her. Anne involuntarily flinched back.

"Well, I know that you love Kevin with all your heart. I also know that you will continue to love him even

if he dies and be a widow for the rest of your life. You will suffer the rest of your life if you marry me,

won't you, Anne?"

The blood on her face drained in an instant. Her lungs constricted; she couldn't breathe.

Kevin was not dead. He was just missing!

But everyone was constantly telling her that her husband had left the world. Moreover, Kim was forcing

her to marry him.

Anne could never think of marrying another man. No one could replace Kevin in her life.

"Anne, you know me well. You know I'm a man of my word. If you are willing to accept my offer, prove

your loyalty. Otherwise, leave!" Kim growled in frustration.

Anne closed her eyes and let out a loud breath. She couldn't understand what was wrong with Kevin

and why he hadn't come back to her yet. How long did she have to wait for him?

Everything was happening so fast, and Anne didn't know what to do.

If Kim continued to work at this speed, it would only be a matter of few days before he acquired the

company.

Anne wouldn't have the time to reverse the damages.

She had no choice but to accept his request.

"Fine. I agree!" Anne thought that she could lie to Kim for the time being before he made his next

move. However, saying the words out loud seemed harder than she had imagined.

'Kevin, I am doing this only for our company. I would never marry him. I hope you understand that, '

thought she.

Kim's body stiffened. His jaw dropped in shock. However, he quickly rearranged his expression so that

Anne wouldn't find out what he was thinking.

"Well, Kevin has just met with an accident. We haven't found his body yet. I can't marry you until we are

sure that he is dead. Why don't we wait until then?" Anne asked.

Kim lowered his head and studied her face. He was overjoyed to find that the woman had agreed to

marry him.

He had imagined this scene countless times in his head but never thought that his dream would come

true.
