After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 812

After the meeting, Raine went to Kimmy’s house before doing anything else. Her team booked in the inn, while the rest of them understood that she’d be staying in their former lord’s abode like a good ’husband’.

Raine had bought Kimmy citizenship and leased a luxury villa in Alterra, though it was mostly using Kimmy’s own money that she had access to. Sadly, due to the lack of contribution points, the citizenship was only temporary (Raine bought a year’s worth) and the luxury villa was leased for a year.

Most people would find Raine admirable, but actually it was just to make herself feel better—from the guilt of taking what was the other woman’s, rightfully or not.

This would also allow her not to worry about Kimmy so much, even if it was just because the other girl wouldn’t be in her presence anymore.

As wise men said: Out of sight, out of mind.

Of course, now that she was here, she ought to visit Kimmy. It felt complicated. What was Kimmy to her? A ’lover’, even if only by name?

A friend?

With a complex mood, Raine entered the house. It was well-kept for the most part, though she could see some of the woman’s personal items all around.

"Ah, you’re here Master Raine," a beautiful brunette came out to greet him. This was Thessy, the nanny she hired for Kimmy.

She was dressed well, as always, and she looked gently at ’him’. "Sir Raine…" she said, voice both soft and flirtatious at the same time. "It’s so good that you’re here."

Raine nodded, greeting her before looking around. "How is she?" she asked, looking for the ’wife’. Thessy looked disappointed by Raine’s lack of reaction to her but retained her gentle face.

"She’s right here," she said, guiding to the veranda. At this time, Kimmy was in one of the rocking chairs, just staring at the garden.

Raine stared for a while before walking over. "Kimmy…" she said, but kept a meter away from her.

After she was molested, Kimmy couldn’t bear to be touched by anyone except for her. However, Raine was afraid that had changed so she did not approach too closely.

Kimmy turned her head at the sound of her voice, her eyes still empty.

Thessy appeared right beside Raine, within her private space. "Would you like to have tea, Master Raine?" she asked, voice low and sultry, and she was so close Raine could feel the heat of her.

Raine’s eyebrow rose as she looked at the other woman.

Obviously, Thessy thought he was a man like everyone else did, and was even trying to seduce ’him’ right in front of ’his wife’.

Raine frowned, narrowing his eyes.
