Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 345
Sadly, she would never be able to be with Kevan until the end."If you don't intend to get divorced, I will not tell Kevan about what happened today," Violet said, "Of course, if you wish to get divorced, I will not stop you. I just hope that you can think it through seriously and discuss it with Kevan. Don't act rashly just because your aunt demanded you to do it."Larissa was once again left in a dilemma.She wanted to get divorced, but she also did not want to upset Violet.In the end, she said, "I'll discuss it with Kevan."Her response disappointed Violet a little, but she did not say anything else."Good. Once you've decided, remember to let me know—no matter what the outcome is."…Violet got Larissa to stay for lunch before letting the driver take her home. The trunk of the car was stuffed full of snacks and supplements by Violet, so that Larissa could consume them slowly back home.At the foot of the building, Larissa met Lucas, who was pacing like a ghost. She slowed

It was only after Kevan promised that he would return from the company as fast as he could that Lucas returned Larissa's phone to her.Larissa led Lucas upstairs—After all, many residents would come and go, so to stay at the entrance of the building was a little too jarringly obvious.The Rogers family driver did not leave. He remained dutifully by Larissa's side, his eyes fixed steadily on Lucas."Didn't you say that you wanted to apologize to Kevan? Why did it change into needing to find him for something important?" Larissa asked. She thought that "something important" was just Lucas' excuse for getting Kevan to come back home. She did not expect him to say, "My true purpose of coming over today is to tell Mr. Rogers about this 'important' matter. When I said I wanted to apologize, I just wanted you to open the door for me. But … I didn't expect you to be so cautious against me too." He lowered his head, smiling bitterly.Larissa did not know if he was telling the truth or a lie

"And?" Kevan patiently waited for him to continue."I think … Lana is … cheating on me." Lucas pressed his lips together tightly as a hint of melancholy flickered through his eyes.Kevan chortled. "What has Lana cheating on you got to do with me? Are you perhaps hoping that I would help you gain some kind of justice?""No!" Lucas denied it at once. "The point is not that she cheated on me, but who she's cheated on me with …" He lifted his head and secretly peeked at Kevan. When his gaze met Kevan's sharp one, he looked down again. "The one she's cheating on me with seems to be Ruby Cole's husband."Kevan's gaze became cold. "Why are you telling me this?""I saw the news …" Lucas began to stammer, "About you and Ruby … I thought …""You thought I was cheating with Ruby?" Kevan asked with a strange smile that was not quite a smile on his face, but his voice was dangerously frigid.Lucas was so scared that he jerked once. His voice was smaller than ever. "N-No …" His head was lower

"You agreed?" Kevan studied Larissa with narrowed eyes. He knew that she had been wanting to get divorced since the day they'd gotten married. Now that there was such a good opportunity before her, she had no reason to not hold on to it. The moment he thought of that, his heart began to make its way up to his throat, and he unconsciously slowed down his breathing.Larissa felt a numb, tingling sensation from his stare, and she turned away guiltily.Kevan's face darkened further as he sneered. "Happy now?"Larissa's hands, which were in her lap, clenched tightly together, and chills ran down her spine. She licked her dry lips before answering his first question, "I didn't agree."Her answer seemed to be out of Kevan's expectations. He was stunned for two seconds and his heart began to race."Why?" His face remained taut as his smile became a jeer. "Didn't you always want to divorce me?""That's because I knew you wouldn't agree, dipshit." Larissa could only keep such words deep in

Kevan snorted coldly before walking to his study. Closing the door, he made a call. "Buy a Ragdoll kitten and deliver it to Ruby. It must be done today.""Doesn't matter what it looks like. The more expensive, the better.""Also, keep a sharper eye on Cody."…Ruby video called again after dinner.Kevan still answered the call in the living room, in full view of Larissa. He still did not wear any audio equipment, so Larissa could not even pretend that she could not hear Ruby's voice, which came through clearly through the phone's speakers."Kevan! The kitty's here!" Ruby was hugging a Ragdoll kitten that was about the size of Muffin, and she lifted one of its paws to greet Kevan.Kevan smiled and asked her, "Do you like it?""Um …" Ruby was a little hesitant.Kevan's smile faded a bit. "What's wrong? You don't like it?""I do, but …" Ruby paused. "I feel that this kitty isn't as cute as yours, you know? Besides, it also looks dumb and slow …""Then I'll have someone buy you

Larissa's words were like a spell, causing silence to fill the living room at once. It was broken by the loud sound of something smashing against the floor.Starting, Larissa saw that Kevan's phone was lying on the floor, not far from where he was. It was facing up, and the screen was now black, with spidery cracks spreading through the glass."Don't ever let me hear you say the word 'divorce' ever again." Kevan advanced upon her, leaning down as he used two fingers to grip her chin to force her to look at him.His eyes had darkened a great deal, as if it had been covered by a layer of shadow."Our marriage is a transaction." Kevan bit out the last word. "There is no reason for you to gain what you want from me only to walk away after."Larissa retorted, "You can still achieve your goal even if you marry Ruby! Besides, she's the one you truly like.""My family doesn't like her." Kevan's eyes narrowed, the dangerous aura radiating off of him causing Larissa to back away but Kevan
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 351
After Muffin had been given to Ruby, Kevan brought back Ruby's kitten for Larissa as compensation. Objectively speaking, Ruby's kitten was quite pretty and cute too. If it was the one who came to the house first, Larissa would have loved it as if it was her own son. But this hypothesis was disproved as Larissa only had Muffin in her heart for a long time now. So, she treated this new kitten very blandly.Of course, she would not mistreat it—but that was the extent of it. She would not take the initiative to play with it or bring it up into her lap to love on. When it came over to her, meowing with affection, she would deliberately distance herself from it to reduce any close interactions.In contrast, Kevan loved this kitten more than he loved Muffin. It was probably because they had traded places—she became Kevan in terms of attitude, and he became her instead.Larissa did not know what caused Kevan's sudden change—was it that this kitten once belonged to Ruby, or was it because he

Violet took the kitten away, just as Larissa wished.When Kevan got home that night, he did not hurry to eat, but circled the living room and called "Muffin!" anxiously. He'd named that kitten Muffin too.Larissa never used that name due to her feelings of displeasure.Kevan did not find the kitten, so he hurried to check the bedroom and the study, before finally coming to the dining hall where Larissa was.She was eating her dinner quietly. Ever since Muffin was sent away, she rarely initiated conversation with him.Kevan asked her, "Have you seen Muffin?""Muffin?" A mocking smile appeared on Larissa's face. "Didn't you give her to Ruby?"Kevan was struck momentarily speechless by her, and his face darkened as he said coldly, "I meant my Muffin."He deliberately emphasized the word "my"."Oh." Larissa was dismissive. "I got Mom to take it back with her."The coldness in Kevan's eyes grew stronger."Why didn't you discuss it with me before doing that?" He confronted her."
