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

Chapter 812: Visitations (Part 2)
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.

She hired this woman because of she was a nurse before—this was something registered in Alterra under oath so he didn’t doubt it. She mentioned she was traumatized by cases in hospitals so she didn’t want to do that job again.

Should she reconsider and hire another one? But where could she find someone with similar credentials?

“Is there anything wrong sir?” Thessy asked, looking at her with those big eyes, heart-shaped face framed by wavy brown hair.

Thessy was very pretty and was actually quite popular. She used to be Baron’s crush and even had the honor of kissing Oslo back when he was relatively new to the territory. Sadly, Oslo got tired of her very quickly and never accepted her advances after that bastard Baron made a scene.

Speaking of Baron, it wasn’t that she hadn’t tried to get to him. He was unattractive, but he was incredibly rich. He was also kind and generous, as she had seen him gift his cousins as well as her.

However, his cousins had guarded him well. She cursed, thinking he must still be single because of them.

Thessy was actually right about this. Because Baron wasn’t particularly attractive and didn’t have anything going for except his money-making skills, the women he attracted so far… weren’t very good.

His cousins had made a pact to protect him from gold diggers… and they did it too well to the point that if Baron knew what they were doing, he’d kick all of them and say he was fine with gold diggers! Just let him taste a girlfriend already!

Thessy had also tried linking with the guards, but they had strict regimen and a good information channel, including how many boyfriends she had in the territory.

The people from other territories though, were much more… gullible to her charms. Even if they investigated, would they spend manpower to look at her lovelife?

She could tell Raine did have some affections for Kimmy but a part of him didn’t want her getting any better. She didn’t know if he would return the token to Kimmy if she did improve, but Thessy hoped he wouldn’t.

A lot of people from Belluga had also moved here and she knew all about what happened to this woman. She was a virgin before that happened… her husbands must’ve been quite dissatisfied with her!

She looked at the handsome lad. He was a bit younger than she was, probably only early to mid-twenties. He was also a bit too scrawny, and not as tall as most men, but he had a good face and had the qualities of a leader.

More importantly, Thessy was feeling a bit impatient. There were so many things she wanted to buy—especially from WittBeauty! She also wanted to spend entire days in the spa, but she couldn’t afford anything!

Seeing Raine just staring deeply at her, her heart fluttered a bit, and she continued to update him about Kimmy’s situation.

“She’s eating well, dressed well, and well cleaned,” the brunette paused. “I’m doing my job very seriously.”

“I hope to lift the burden from Master Raine’s shoulders,” she said, voice velvety and seductive. “I hope he can see that.”

When Raine slowly turned to face her, she stepped forward a little, reducing their distance to only about a few inches.

“Can Master Raine… tell Thessy how good she’s doing?”
