Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 330

After Violet got down from the car, Larissa let out a sigh of relief. Prior to that, there were several instances in which she did not know how to pick up after Violet’s conversations. Moreover, Kevan displayed a demeanor of indifference and detachment, only focusing on driving even when her awkwardness was so obvious. He never once helped rescue her from her predicament.

Seeing the discreet glare Larissa was giving him through the rearview mirror, Kevan’s lips twitched upward.

“If you don’t want to be troubled by my mother, don’t ever attend this sort of event with her again,” Kevan admonished.

Having learned her lesson, Larissa would naturally not make the same mistake. “But Chris is pretty cute,” she said sincerely. “I guess it’s worth the nagging from Mom”

Kevan was intrigued, and he deliberately asked her jeeringly, “What you want to have children now?”

Larissa denied it at once. “Nor

Entertaining someone else’s kid was one thing raising one’s own child was another. She was able to separate these two matters very clearly. 50. she would never randomly have baby lever and do something stupid like trying for a child.

The tiniest bit of hope that had begun to spark in Kevan’s heart was extinguished immediately by her, and right at this moment, Larissa was terribly unobservant, Not only could she not tell that he was unhappy, she even added fuel to the fire and said. “Speaking of which, Mom really wants to have a grandchild! Even if it’s for her sake, you should hurry up and divorce me and find a proper wife to have a baby.”

Kevan firmly held back the urge to throw her out of the car. He ordered coldly. “Shut up. Your concern for me in this regard is very much unnecessary.”

“Oh. Larissa timidly shut herself up.

When they were almost home, Kevan answered a call His phone was connected to the car’s Bluetooth, so Ruby’s frantic, fearful voice filled the vehicle. “Kevan! Cody is here again! Hurry up and come over! He’s pressing the doorbell right now. I'm so scared!”

Larissa had only been stunned for a moment before she turned to look out the car window as if she had not heard anything.

Kevan glanced at her through the rearview mirror and saw her cold side profile, and he bit his lip lightly.

“Don’t be afraid.” He gently comforted Ruby. “Til be right over.”

“Okay, please come at once!” Ruby sobbed even as she urged him,

“Something’s come up on my end. I hang up first and call you back later.” he said politely to Ruby. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Can you not hang up first? Ruby’s voice was small and filled with temor. “I want to hear your voice

Kevan was just hesitating when he suddenly heard the sound of the car door opening at the back. He turned to see that Larissa already had one leg out. In a moment of panic, he shouted, “Sit still and stop moving!”

Ruby was confused. “Huh?”

“I wasn’t talking to you.” When Kevan spoke to Ruby, he reverted to his gentle tone from before.

Larissa, however, did not listen to him. She gestured and mouthed to him at the same time. “Go on ahead. I can go up by myself.” She stood on one leg, bracing herself against the car as she hopped back to the trunk of the car in order to get her wheelchair.

Kevan humedly got out of the car after her and got to the wheelchair before she did, opening it up before carrying her onto it. As he pushed her into the building, Larissa asked, “Aren’t you going to look after Ruby?”

“Sending you upstairs won’t take too long.” Kevan’s expression was Tarly lat

“I really don’t need you to send me up.” Although Larissa did not like Ruby, she was also worried that something might happen to her.” Hurry up and lind Ruby before she really freaks out.”
