Chapter 723 - Testimonies (1/2)
Time passed swiftly as the two of them stayed in the capital. They explored the stores and many other things around them, earning much more knowledge about this city. Before they knew it, two weeks had passed.
”Richard didn't come to bother us anymore,” Kanae commented as she picked up the donut in front of her.
She was staying in a café with Kevin for their snacks. Even though Kevin barely ate anything, the man still accompanied her in every place that she visited.
”It's better that way,” Kevin replied. ”Have you thought about what you're going to say as the testimonies.”
”I'll tell the truth,” Kanae bit the chocolate donut in her hand. ”There's nothing much that we have to hide too. The matter of Ferdinand eyeing the source power is nothing new. But the source power is limited and he already used them all.”
”Will you tell them about your condition too?”
”No.”
There was no need to tell them that she has similar condition with Ferdinand. Even though they had special power that made them far stronger than ordinary humans, it was not something they should leak out. Their existences alone were something that should be kept hidden forever.
”Good girl,” Kevin stretched his hand and messed up Kanae's hair.
”Hey! Don't treat me like a little girl!”
”I'm treating you as my girlfriend.”
”Wha-?” before Kanae could protest again, Kevin had pulled her head closer and planted a kiss on her forehead. Heat rushed to her cheek as she glanced up to see the man's face. He was smiling tenderly at her with his attention fully focused on her.
The backlight from the window made her able to see Kevin's features more clearly. He looked so handsome that she wanted to curse the man again. How come someone can be so handsome? It was so unfair!
”Do you not like it?” Kevin caressed the girl's hair softly.
”You just surprise me,” Kanae looked away, not wanting to stare at the man directly. She was worried that his handsomeness would make her eyes blind.
Kevin chuckled lightly, finding her reaction cute. At this moment, his usual coldness had disappeared into nothingness. There was no one who would think that this man always acted indifferent with a straight face.
Ring! Ring!
”What is it, Matt?” Kevin picked up his phone.
”They have decided the date for your testimonies. You should prepare yourself. I'll pick you up tomorrow. Also, the two of you will be questioned one by one with different questions.”
”I see.”
”Do you have any questions?”
”Is it going to be a long interrogation?” Kanae moved closer and asked.
”No. They just need some story from your part. It shouldn't take a long time.”
”Ok, I got it.”
”Anything else?” Matt asked.
”No.”
”Ok, make sure that you dress up nicely.”
”Sure,” Kevin ended the call and stared at Kanae. Her face was only inches away from him because of the call. He leaned in slightly and kissed her cheek.
”Kevin!”
”You're tempting me.”
