Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 294

Aber some time, someone opened the door.

Larissa rolled around to see who it was.

It was Kevan, the person she least wanted to see. He was wearing a cashmere sweater similar in color and style to the one he wore yesterday.

However, she knew it was a different sweater because Kevan had the habit of changing his clothes every day, even if they were spotless.

From the long pants he wore yesterday, he had switched to looser jeans, His hair was combed neatly and lay flat against his scalp, giving him a clean cut and fresh appearance.

Kevan came in, carrying a paper bag with a luxury brand logo on it. He approached her slowly and placed it on the bedside table.

“Your clothes,” he said in an indifferent one. There was no trace of guilt on his face from forcing himself on her yesterday.

“Oh,” Larissa replied with a poker face.

Inexplicably, Kevan clenched his lists tightly. He continued speaking monotonously, “If you’re awake, get up quickly. It’s almost time for lunch. After that we will be going to Uncle Bernard’s house to visit him.”

“Okay,” Larissa answered,

Pursing his lips, Kevan turned around and left the room.

Larissa endured the sore pain in her muscles and changed into the new clothes he had bought for her.

it was a turtleneck sweater that conveniently covered the red h ickeys on her neck.

When Larissa arrived downstairs, the television was on, but no one was in the living room.

However, she heard voices coming from the dining room.

“Has Lari not woken up yet? Volet spoke.

“Yes” Kevan replied. “She is probably exhausted from the journey. In addition, she was already feeling under the weather yesterday.”

Larissa sneered inwardly.

He sure knew how to come up with excuses.

“I told you there was no need to force her to come over. Why didn’t you listen? Violet reprimanded him, “Larissa doesn’t have any other relatives or friends in Bartham. When she fell sick, you left her all alone at the hospital. Tell me, is this something a husband would do?”

Kevan remained silent.

“Tell me honestly, is your heart still longing for Ruby?” Violet suddenly lowered her voice.

Larissa didn’t expect Violet to question Kevan so directly. Last night, she told her that Kevan and Ruby were just filends.

Larissa was very curious about the answer to this question as well. Unable to help hersell, Larissa held her breath and listened attentively.

Without hesitation, Kevan replied, “Of course not. She’s married, and I’m married too. What else could there be between us?”

“Then, why were you so much nicer to Ruby Instead of your wile? Besides, both of you were so close in the past. Anyone could have misunderstood!” Violet snorted coldly, “Fortunately, Lari isn’t that petty. I wouldn’t let you all the h ook so easily if I were in her shoes! A sensible and understanding woman like Lari is hard to find. You should treasure her. You’d better not drive her away with your improper behavior!”

“The reason she wouldn’t mind is not because she’s sensible Kevan snorted with disdain.

“Why then? Violet probed further, but Kevan refused to continue.

Seizing the opportunity, Larissa walked into the dining room, pretending she hadn’t heard anything. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Lari!” Violet greeted her and asked with concern, “Did you sleep well?

Larissa replied with a smile. “I slept well don’t worry!”

Violet held her hand and sighed in relief. “I was worried that you wouldn’t get a good night’s sleep! Fortunately, you managed to have some rest”

At this moment, Anthony also came downstairs.

“Dad” Larissa greeted him.

The comer of Anthony’s mouth twitched as he nodded in acknowledgment.

“Let’s have lunch.” he said.
