Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 326
"Bro, why do you care about Kevan so much?" Rebecca covered her mouth while laughing as she teased him. "You can't possibly have feelings for Kevan, can you?"Lucas glared at her. "What nonsense are you spouting?"Rebecca pursed her lips. "Well, the way you looked earlier, you certainly looked like it!""You're already a mother now, why are you still so indecent? Aren't you afraid of influencing your child negatively?"While Lucas was criticizing his younger sister, Lana had herself plastered next to Larissa again."Larissa!" She hugged Larissa's arm and asked, "Are you also staying in Bartham for only a while?""... Probably." Larissa gave a vague answer. The truth was that she was not sure herself. She did not know if she would ever be transferred back.Lana was very disappointed to not find the information she needed from Larissa. She discreetly glanced at Kevan before deliberately praising the kid in Larissa's arms with great exaggeration. "Wow! Little Chris is so cute!"Bu

"Do not bring her before us ever again! And never bring her with you to attend family gatherings such as this!" Xander said.…Because she nearly dropped the baby, the looks from the crowd were filled with reproach and resentment.Lana had never experienced such humiliation before, so she felt a little indignant while blaming Larissa for everything again."Larissa …" Her eyes were all teary and she was pouting, looking for all as if she was the most pitiful one in the world."I … I was startled. I didn't mean to …" She seemed to be explaining herself to Larissa, but she was actually trying to say it to Kevan instead.Larissa's reaction was very bland. "I know."There were no words of comfort.Kevan's reaction was even colder. He did not say anything, much less look at her.Lana was gritting her teeth again, her fists were clenched so tightly that veins had popped out on the back of her hands."Larissa …" She sat next to Larissa once more, reaching out to take her hand. "When

Everyone had the heart for some gossip, and everyone loved watching some family drama.The chattering crowd quieted down, and all kinds of looks were thrown over at Larissa, who felt their gazes stabbing into her back."We can talk about our matter next time." Pushing down the anger she felt, she reminded Lana, "This is a baby's party. Do not ruin everyone's spirits."Lana had been spoiled since young, so she always put herself first. How could she care about this sort of thing?To her, Larissa's attitude in looking at the bigger picture screamed guilt to her, so she refused to let her off, digging her claws furiously into her. "If we hadn't met here, how on earth was I supposed to see you? You refuse to answer my calls and my texts, and you even refuse to let me into your house when I try to visit …"Seeing that she was going to cry again, Larissa accommodated her helplessly. "Fine. If you have to talk about it now, we'll go out and do it alone. Let's not affect the others here."

"Can't you tell that my mom's angry?" he asked coldly."Of course, I can!" Cecilia's anger was obvious. Anyone could tell, Lana included. "But I haven't dealt with my thing with Larissa yet! I can't go!" She dragged Lucas back toward the private room."Do you even know what the occasion is? And you come here to deal with your thing with Larissa?" Lucas did not know if Lana was really innocent or stupid. "Can you have a little bit of observational skills?"With the way he shouted at her, Lana froze. Lucas froze too.Ever since they got to know each other, Lucas had never spoken harshly to Lana. She had always been his precious little princess. Even if she was unreasonable on multiple occasions, he was always gently tolerating her.Lana was struck speechless in an instant, her eyes filled with tears once again."You're shouting at me …" Her voice was so soft and filled with endless grievances, which immediately caused Lucas to go soft. He quickly pulled her into his embrace and c

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. "No!"Entertaining someone else's kid was one thing; raising one's own child was another. She

Kevan looked down at her with a glare, ordering her once again to "Shut up!"…After Kevan had sent Larissa home, he rushed over to where Ruby was staying. When he arrived, there was no one at the door. But there were several obvious foot imprints on the dark brown anti-theft door, and it was clearly from a man.He did not press the doorbell, but called Ruby directly and told her, "Ruby, I'm here. Open the door."Two minutes later, the door opened, and Kevan was about to walk in when Ruby rushed out, crashing into his arms. Her arms were wrapped tightly around his waist, her body shaking like a leaf."Kevan … You're finally here …"Her tears wet his chest, causing him to frown in discomfort. Kevan raised his hand to pat her back gently."It's alright." He soothed her over and over. "Cody's gone. You're alright."Ruby sniffled and sobbed for a while before she slowly recovered. They entered the house together and Kevan poured her a glass of warm water. He sat next to her, with

Kevan reacted very quickly. Almost at the moment she closed her eyes, his hand came up and blocked off her lips. When Ruby's lips pressed against his cold palm, the rough skin of his palm caused her to open her eyes with panic.She stared at his hand for quite a bit, stunned, before looking up into his deep, dark eyes."... Why?" she asked with frustration."I'm a clean freak." Kevan showed an expression of apology as he explained, "You know that, I can't be overly intimate with someone else."Kevan's crazy clean freakishness was well-known by others. Even with her, he could just barely manage to hold hands and hug.Ruby thought that after so many years, his germaphobia would have gotten better. She certainly did not expect it to remain unchanged."Then you and Larissa …" She really minded this. Even though she knew Kevan had no feelings for Larissa, they were still a legally married couple. Married couples would definitely do those things."Larissa and I never did anything." Ke

Violet quietly let out a sigh of relief."Never mind then, I plan to teach you how to make mango millefeuille today."Larissa's attention was drawn away by her quickly. "Sure!"They kept working until the evening. Lunch was a chiffon cake that they baked.In the midst of it all, Violet even pushed Larissa downstairs for some air, and they even took a nap in the afternoon together.…Kevan returned at his usual time. When he entered the house, he keenly noticed a pair of unfamiliar leather shoes in the entrance hall—based on the brand, it likely belonged to his mother.The living room lights were on, but there was no one there.He walked into the kitchen, and sure enough, his mother and Larissa were at the kitchen counter doing who knew what.Hearing the noise, Larissa looked up first. "You're back." She smiled at him, her tone surprisingly soft and gentle. She had no choice but to play the role of a virtuous and considerate wife when she was in front of Violet.Kevan grunted
