Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 305

He raised an eyebrow as he waited for her answer.

“I’m not interested” Lanssa replied, refusing to play along with him.

Edmund clicked his tongue in disappointment Propping his arm on the back of the chair, he slunk onto the seat.

“Well my sister-in-law told my brother that she was going out shopping with a friend, but she was spotted meeting Kevan at the Microworks Building. She was there for the whole day. Who knows? Maybe they were together when you were kidnapped, which is why Kevan didn’t come to rescue you.”

Larissa wanted to tell him that it wasn’t merely a possibility but that was the case.

“Cody now suspects that my sister-in-law and Kevan are having an affair, After all, they had something between them in the past, but she married my brother in the end.” Edmund said. His chin was slightly raised, and he could hardly mask the pride in his voice.” shows that my brother had a stronger appeal than even in the past, but not anymore. Now Kevan is wealthier, so women prefer him.”

Larissa didn’t like how Edmund was trying to put Cody on a pedestal by beliling Kevan

Hence, she chimed in “Women prefer Kevan not just because he’s wealthier.”

“Oh? Then tell me, what do you like about him? Edmund rested his chin on his hand, smirking.

Although the question was simple, Larissa could come up with infinite answers.

“I like that he’s handsome.”

“I’m handsome too.” Edmund said. “Everyone says that I’m the most handsome Rogers.”

*ke the way he carries himself with an aloof air.”

Edmund immediately put on a straight face. “I can be alcol too.”

“I like that he’s a Taekwondo expert, a wrestler, and a boxer. He can protect me when I’m in danger.”

Finally, Larissa played her trump card. “I like that he doesn’t like me.”

This time Edmund couldn’t form a response, Instead, he looked at her with pity in his eyes.

“Larissa, why don’t you consider liking someone who likes you? Mutual love is much happler than unrequited love.”

“No thanks.” Larissa rejected the Idea “Marrying the man I love makes me feel blessed.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“But Kevan likes my sister-in-Law! How can you accept that they are openly having an altar? Edmund asked

Larissa continued her blutt. “My only wish is to marry him. It doesn’t matter that he has other women.”

Despite countless attempts to get through her walls, Edmund failed, which left him frustrated

“Fine, I won’t say more. Anyway, if you regret it and want to divorce Kevan know that my arms will always be open for you!” he said.

With a faint smile, Larissa replied. “Thanks, but that will never happen,”

Edmund had to return to work, so he left after half an hour.

Around moon, Kevan came over, bringing lunch for Larissa. As soon as he entered the hospital room, he spotted the large bouquet of champagne roses in the wase by the bedside.

“Who sent these?” he asked, his squinted eyes emitting a dangerous light.

“Edmund.”

Larissa didn’t hide from him. Since the hospital had surveillance cameras, she couldn’t hide even if she wanted to.

“You’re so close with Edmund now that he even sent you roses, huh? Kevan asked before he could stop himself.

Tehe… alright i guess, Larissa answered. In the heat of the moment Larissa deliberately answered as such,
