Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 745

Larissa forced herself to nod despite the pain. Much better.”

“Good, then.” Mike’s voice was distant. It was even more distant than when they were talking earlier downstairs. “I know a skilled orthopedic doctor, Il you need it, I can help you contact him.”

“No need!” Gary rejected him. Because Mike had delended Kevan earlier, Gary did not like Mike anymore. He was not nice to him. “Do you

think our family doctor can’t handle an injury like this?”

Mike admitted his mistakes. I was presumptuous. My apologies.”

To prevent Gary and Mike from fighting, Larissa shol a look at Lewis.

Lewis got the hint and said to Mike. “Mike, before I came up, Mr. Brock of SouthSea Corporation seemed to be looking for you. I don’t know why, but why don’t you go see what’s up?”

Mike knew what was up too. “Okay.” He agreed to it and put on an apologetic look on his face. Tll be heading downstairs then.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Gary did not reply, his face cold. He only spoke alter Mike was gone, saying, “is Mr. Brock of Southsea Corp more important than Lan? He truly can’t prioritize things!

“That’s enough, Dad, Larissa said. She decided to ust tear this facade apart. “We all know what you’re trying to do, okay? I’m telling you, don’t do this nor sense. If you try to matchmake me again, don’t blame me for being mad at you.”

Due to her previous experiences, Larissa hated being matchmade. Even if she knew that Gary was not the same as the Seymours, and that he meant we.. she did not like it.

They were not reasons for him to ignore her wishes and plan her life for her

Larissa’s attitude was firm. That made Gary feel a little Intimidated, but he did not want to just give up like that.

“You didn’t like Mike. But what if you like the next person I introduce to you? He tried to convince Larissa. “I wasn’t thinking about getting you to accept either. I just hope that you’ll interact with more men. Otherwise, that stupid Rogers will be buzzing around you like an annoying fly. I hate it.”

Larissa did not know that Kevan was the cause of all this. Thinking of his sad silhouette when he left, Larissa blurted. “What if I like Kevan?”

The two men froze before her voice faded out.

Lewis collected himself first. He used the excuse of massaging Larissa’s ankle to sneak a look at Gary to observe his reaction

After all, he had asked a similar question half an hour ago. As for Gary’s answer

“If you really like him. I will accept IL of course.” Gary smiled. He even reached out to rufile Larissa’s hair. “But I hope that you can think this through. This is about your future, after al‘

Lewis looked away to hide the disgust and scam in his eyes. One would think Gary’s gentleness and understanding were real!

Gary was already half dead from his rage. Still he had to maintain his “kind father” mass in front of Larissa

Afraid that Larissa would say something that would cause him to have a seizure, Gary made a quick getaway to entertain the guests.

The bedroom door closed.

This time, Lewis did not expose the reason why Gary

ary was angry, because he was more curious about something else.

“You said you like Mr. Rogers. Is that true?”
