Although Larissa said she would help cut in the kitchen, she had actually led. In fact, she was in the living room, playing on her prone to pass the time. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Who knows what those two are doing in the kitchen, she thought to herself.

If she barged in without any warning, she might see them doing something unpleasant.

Larissa was afraid that it would ruin her appetite for dinner.

The attemoon passed quickly, and evening fel.

When all the dishes were ready. Ruby went upstairs to call everyone down for dinner.

As she passed by the living room, she was surprised to see Larissa sitting alone on the couch.

“Larissa?” She stopped in her tracks. “Aren’t you playing poker with Aunt Nancy and the others?”

asked Edmund to take my place,” Larissa said, “I’m not good at poker and lost too much money.”

I see.” Ruby didn’t suspect anything.

Everyone took their seats at the dinner table.

It was evident from Violet’s expression that she was in a bad mood.

Even Anthony, who was usually reserved, asued in concern. “Did you lose all your money?”

Violet remained stent and glared at Kevan.

Confused by Violet’s unusual reaction, Kevan turned to look at Larissa, hoping to get an answer from her.

However, Larissa was completely focused on shoving food into her mouth, seemingly oblivious to what was happening around her.

“Ruby’s cooking is amazing! It tastes better than any fancy restaurant Maria shifted the atantion back to her daughter-in-law.

Since she started the conversation, naturally, everyone else was obliged to continue showering Ruby with praises.

Only Larissa remained silent.

Seeing that Latissa wasn’t joining in the conversation, Nancy called out to her, saying, “Lar, what do you think of Ruby’s cooking?

“It’s tasty.” Larissa said with a smile.

She deliberately added another jibe. ‘Hercooling lastes similar to the dishes that Kevan c ocks at home, it didn’t know that Ruby made these dishes, I would have mistakenly thought they were Kovan’s cooking!”

Ruby’s smile Incre for a moment, but she quickly made up a reasonable excuse. “Kevan gave me some guidance while cooking these dishes. It’s no surprise that they taste similar to his cooking.”

Molet’s expression turned even darker.

Shortly after dinner, Volet announced that she warted to go home. Rubbing her throbbing head, she said, “I’m not feeing well. I need to go home and have an early night.”

Everyone expressed concem, but no one insisted that she should say any longer,

Once they got in the car, Violet ordered Kevan with a stem expression on her lace. “Take Lari back to Covenlord icmonioa.”

Kevan could guess the reason for Molet’s displeasure.

He said, “We’re not going back to Covenlord. Larl was just transferred to Bartham, and I’m coming over to keep her company.”

Violet was taken aback by this revelation. She could-“I meddle in her daughter-in-law’s work affairs. So, she decided to compromise.” Alright, you go back and stay in your own house torronow. Don’t show up to any larly gatherings after this.”

She wasn’t going to let him meel Ruby anymore.

“Sure,” Kavan agreed readly. “I’m not interested anyways.”

That night Larissa didn’t dare to take a shower.

Since Kevan was a clean freak, he would never touch her if she hadn’t showered. However, this meant that she couldn’t sleep on the bed.

Larissa wrapped herself in her down jacket and curled up on the only chair in the bedroom.

After Kevan finished his shower, he went straight to bed without giving her a second glance.

Larissa couldn’t fall asleep the whole night.

Listening to Kevan’s steady breathing, she gritted her teeth, infuriated.

Larissa wished she could kick him off the bed, but she didn’t have the guts to do so..

Kevan would definitely think of some other tricks to get even.
