180. Accepting Kevin's Proposal 2.

When Kevin left for Amber City, Dahlia had been entrusted to carry out a task for him which involved Drake, and she took her task seriously since she didn't want to disappoint Kevin in any way.

And the efforts of her diligence were slowly yielding some positive result which wasn't obvious to the person in question. Nevertheless, it was now too late for Drake to do anything about it even if he found out.

A side effect of what Dahlia had subtly been doing to Drake forced him to abstain from warming Vanessa's bed for the past month.

The two of them slowly became distant in the next few weeks. However, they continued to act like they didn't know that something was wrong with their relationship.

This was the reason why Vanessa couldn't take it anymore and so summoned the courage to speak up when the both of them returned from a brief weekend vacation.

In short, the cause of the strain in Drake and Vanessa's relationship was none other than Kevin himself.
