Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 299

Three days later Anthony and Violet had to make a trip to Violet’s parents home.

Before leaving early in the moming. Violet knocked on Kevan’s bedroom door and reminded him yet again, “Dont forget, today you have go back to your own home!”

It was afternoon when Kevan finally changed his clothes and called Larissa to leave with him.

She attempted to negotiate with him, “Why don’t you go back to your own home, and Ill continue staying at the hotel? is that okay with You?

“No, you can”L” Kevan refused without hesitat on “You’ve already been transferred to Bartham, so it doesn’t count as a business trip anymore. The hotel won’t provide you with free accommodation. If you don’t want to stay with me, you can rent a house yoursel! However, let me kindly remind you that there aren’t any rooms for rent, only whole units al the apartment complexes near the Regal Dynasty Hotel The rental or ces stam from ten thousand dolars a month at a minimum. You should cons der it carefully before making a decision.”

Although Larissa was unwilling, she reluctantly complied with Kevan’s arrangements.

Keven’s house in Bartham was similar to the one he had in Covenford

It was a large penthouse apartment with identical style and interior design, giving Larissa the ilusion that she was back in Covenlord.

They still slet in separate roomTS.

Larissa’s quest room seemed freshly fumishes. Everything was new, and the fumishings smelt like they were just opened up from their packaging.

However, she didn I have the energy to overthink. After staying up all night, the only thing Larissa wanted to do was to get a good sleep. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she received a call from Ruby.

Larissa was surprised to hear Ruby’s voice when she picked up the call. They hadn’t exchanged contacts during their last meeting. How did Ruby get her number?

Ruby sock first. “Do you have some time to tak now?”

Larissa didn’t realy want to chat but refusing to talk to Ruby would make her appear splitul. “What do you want to talk about?”

“Keven.” Ruby was very straightforward.

Since she was so direct, Larksa saw no need to brat around the bush either. “I have no interest in discussing my husband with other women.”

“Ms. Seymour, Kevan doesn’t like you, He married you just because it was time for him to get mamed.” Ruby spoke with an air of superior ly, inciting Larissa’s anger inexplicably.

“I don’t care why he married me. It’s an undeniable fact that he is my husband now. Ms. Cole, orgive me for being frank, but aren’t you overstepping your boundaries?”

“I’m only doing this out of the kindness of my heart so that you won’t get hurt in the future.”

Ruby’s words sounded like she was being considerate of Larissa, but her pretentious allh.de revealed her true intentions.

“Thank you for your concem, Ms. Cole. Larissa reclied sarcastically. “Even if I do get hurt in the future, It has nothing to do with you”

“You!” Ruby cursed angrily. My kindness is wasted on the likes of you!”

Kindness?

Anyone with eyes could see what Ruby’s intentions truly were!

Her amateur schemes to drive a wedge between Lansta and Kevan were not even hall as canning as Lana’s!

Staring at her phone screen. Larissa suddenly Vel: a lille uncertain. After all, Ruby was previously Kevan’s love interest, Perhaps sne shouldn’t have treated her so harshly.

However, she was playing the role of Kevan’s wife, when faced with a challenge from another woman, wouldn’t it be strange if she didn’t act a ley bit upset?

After mulling over it for a while, she decided to go directly to Kevan and ask his opinion.

If he had mutual feelings for Ruby, she didn’t want to be an obstacle to their relationship.

Kevan wasn’t in his bedroom.

Latissa went from one room to another, looking for him.

Finally, she found him in the study. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Kevan had a Bluetooth headset in his ear, and seemed like he was talking to someone

Larissa called out, “Am I disturbing you?”

Kevan took off the headset and held it in his hand. “No.”

He let her into the study and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing serious.” Larissa looked him directly in the eye. just wanted to ask what is your relationship with Ruby?”
