Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 204

Chapter 204 As expected Yvette didn’t disappoint her. Larissa sneered inwardly. Yvette made up an explanation in a hurry. “She is Indeed my niece. However, she has addressed me as her mother since childhood because I raised her along with Nana,” As she spoke, she gestured with her eyes, hoping Larissa would back her up. Larissa had no intention of helping her cover up this lie and stood aside with a poker lace. Lana had no choice and continued with a wide smile on her lace. “To me, Larissa is just like my real sister! Mom and Dad have always treated her as their own daughter, and we have a great relationship as a lamily!” Jay accepted their explanation without further questions. In contrast, Reuben stared at Larissa with a slightly pecular expression after hearing all this. “Larissa, let me introduce you, Jay pointed to the woman who was clinging to his arm, this is my wife, Annabell.”

Larissa pretended not to know Annabell’s age and greeted her respectfully, “Hello, Ms. Cole.” She followed up with a compliment “Mrs. Cole, what skincare products do you use? You look as young as thirty! How did you maintain Your appearance so well?” Annabell’s face darkened instantly, and Jay’s expression turned sour. This was the ellect that Larissa was aiming for. If this meeting was truly a blind date in disguise, her “compliments” would definitely make them think twice.

On the other hand, Jay acted graciously. “It’s alright, everyone makes mistakes!” However, his smile appeared forced. Jay pulled Reuben closer, who was standing next to him. “This is my son, Reuben Cole.” Reuben extended his hand to Larissa. “Ms. Seymour, nice to meet you.” if the tone of voices could be expressed in terms of temperature. Reuben’s would be considered lukewarm, neither too cold nor too hot. Larissa found her first impression of him as a person was similar to his tone of voice, he wasn’t a timid person, but not too aggressive either. Reuben’s eyes twinded with amusement. In addition, there was also a tiny hint of curiosity in his gaze that was piqued by Larissa’s mysterious past. Larissa shook his hand politely. “Mr. Cole, nice to meet you.” She quickly released her grip alter two seconds. “Lastly-as Jay spoke, everyone’s gaze fell on the last remaining person. The short and plump man proudly pointed his nose into the air and pulled out his rounded chest. “This is my nephew, Gorlan Cole. Speaking of it our families are quite similar. Jay looked at Yvette and continued, “Your cousin lell behind a daughter after an accident whereas my younger brother left behind a son. I’ve been raising him since he was a child, and we have a close father-son relationship.” Yvelle chimed in laughing, “What a coincidence!” 1/2 Ignoring the two elders who were still conversing. Dorlan pushed Reuben aside and walked up to Larissa.

“Ms. Seymour, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Reaching out. He extended a sweaty and meaty palm to her.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
