Chapter 252

Chapter 252 The heat permeated through the thin fabric and warmed Larissa’s palm, it was so intense that it bordered on scorching, making her take shallow breaths in response. “You – Larissa started to become incoherent. Her tongue seemed to be all twisted up, and she could not utter a complete sentence at all She curled up her fingers in an attempt to escape the source of the heal. Kevan grunted before taking a deep breath. “Larissa.” He did his best to control himself, just barely forcing himself to speak in a h oar se voice. “I’m a normal man.” He gazed at her with red eyes. The kiss on his neck appeared in Larissa’s mind, and the smell of the thick Chanel 5 perfume seemed to surround Larissa at that moment. “Don’t you have a lover out there?” Jealous words escaped her as the fluster from before vanished entirely. She pressed her lips tightly together, and a faint hint of anger could be seen in her eyes.

Kevan froze for a moment before a mischievous smile appeared on his face. “Are you jealous?” he asked. Larissa turned away to avoid his intense stare. Her voice was high out of guilt. “Who said I’m jealous! She swiftly withdrew her hand, keeping her head bowed low. “Anyway if you have any needs, go find your lover. Our relationship has only ever been one of mutual benefit.” Atraid that he would catch her again, Larissa ran away the moment she finished speaking. When she reached her bedroom door, she heard him say. “That may not be quite true.” Kevan’s ambiguous and unclear words stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within Larissa, awakening a sense of romantic longing deep within her.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Kevan was pulling on an act. While she was confused. Kevan took her hand and led her to the dining hall. The table held the breakfast that he had already made beforehand-egg bacon sandwiches and freshly squeezed orange juice. Larissa blinked as she swallowed her saliva unconsciously. Kevan pushed her down on a chair, removed the apron, and sal across from her. The way they were right now actually made them look like a regular couple. Larissa felt inexplicably at a loss, not even daring to look him in the eye. “An extra spot has been secured for the exhibition match, Zero will be informed about it today.” Kevan’s expression was quite natural. He took a bite of his sandwich before drinking some orange juice, a complete air of casualness about him. Larissa did not expect his work efficiency to be so high, “Tha—“Recalling what happened last night, Larissa cut hersell off and swallowed the rest of her thanks “Okay.” She picked up her sandwich. “Why aren’t you thanking me? Kevan asked her on purpose. Gritting her teeth, Larissa replied as calmly as she could, “Already did last night.” “True.” Kevan nodded before saying enigmatically. “However, there will be many more instances in which you have to thank me in the future. You’d better prepare yourself.” Larissa’s heart sk ipped a beat, but her expression remained cold as she said, “Future matters can be spoken about in the future.” Kevan smiled. “Sure.”
