Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 336

Larissa looked up at Kevan blankly, “Huh?”

Kevan had not even opened his mouth yet when the back of his arm suddenly stung harshly-It was his mother who did that to him.

“I’m sorry,” he said.

Larissa was more confused than ever. “Huh?”

For last night” Kevan elaborated,

His words had no beginning nor an end, so Larissa did not understand,

“What happened last night?”

Violet took in her reaction and genuinely felt sorry for her daughter-in-law. Her love for her grew deeper.

“Kevan went to help Ruby last night and was photographed by reporters.” Violet explained on his behalf.

The pained expression on her face surprised Larissa as well as made her nervous.

“Why would he need to apologize to me for having his pictures taken by reporters? Larissa could not figure it out

“He’s not apologizing for that. He’s apologizing for going to Ruby’s yesterday and spending the night there.” Violet glared at Kevan as she spoke. “He’s really gone too far this time. Lari, don’t be polite. Il you want to get physical or scream at him, leel free to. Mom is on your

Get physical or scream at Kevan? Larissa did not have the courage to even it Violet was backing her up.

“Mom, don’t blame Kevan.” She pretended to be considerate and gracious as she took Violet’s hand. Palling it comfortingly, she said, ” When Ruby called him last night. I was right there with him. I heard everything. Things were urgent at that time, and we were both worried that something would happen to her. Kevan had been hesitating then, afraid that I would get jealous so he did not plan to help. But I was the one who advised him to go. Il my leg hadn’t been injured. I would have gone with him. After that I was also the one who told him to accompany Ruby, in case her husband goes back to find her.”

Seeing that she had taken responsibility hersell, Violet could not say more.

“This thing got blown out of proportion pretty bad. I’m worried that it may affect you.” She held Larissa’s hand too, her eyes lilled with

concem.

Larissa smiled. “I’m staying home all day long, what kind of effect could it possibly have? By the time my leg injury has healed and I’m back at work, this would have passed then.”

Besides, no one else other than Edmund knew that she was Kevan’s wife at the hotel. This was more than enough for her to stay out of

things.

Violet sighed while shaking her head helplessly. “Honestly, my dear child” With the way Larissa prolected Kevan, she did not know if she should be delighted or worried. After she had reconnected the Internet cable. Wolet threw a few more harsh words at Kewan belone

leaving his home.

Larissa had not eaten much. Once Violet had left, she was more relaxed and thus fell hungry. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Do you still want to eat?” she asked Kevan, who was stunned, as he was not expecting the first thing she said to be this.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on his lace. She truly did not care at all. He clearly knew this, but seeing her behavior in person made

him sad still.

Larissa did not know what he was thinking, she only saw his darkened visage and his quiet countenance, so she assumed that he was still angry with Violet’s criticisms.

“If you don’t want to eat, I’ll go ahead and eat myself. With that, she turned and wheeled hersell away into the dining hall Kevan followed

her and sat on his seal.

The thermostat was sufficiently turned on. Even if the dishes had been left for quite a while, they still had some warmth.

“For what?” she asked in confusion

Kevan placed another piece of potato onto her plate. “Thank you for speaking up for me in front of my mother.”
