Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 112
Larissa looked back from the rear window of the car. She couldn't see Yvette or anyone else. Then, she leaned back in her seat. Slowly her pounding heart rate returned to normal. Then, she asked, "Why are you here?""I was passing by," Kevan replied indifferently.Larissa didn't believe him. "You were waiting for me. Why? How did you know I would come out from the back?" Still, Kevan insisted, "I just happened to pass by."Larissa pursed her lips and stared at him as if trying to find an answer. However, Kevan didn't seem to care about her gaze and looked at the front steadily. Soon, they drove into Foxtail Garden. Once again, Larissa leaned against the car window. It was as quiet as it usually was, and there wasn't a single soul on the street. When the car drove through the leaves, it made a crisp sound. Then, she saw a strange car parked below their building. The end of the car faced the road, and it was hard to figure out if someone was in the car, making Larissa nervous.

He forcefully pressed the button to open the doors, and the panic in his eyes was obvious."Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous it is to block the elevator door?" he chastised.Larissa had some common sense, so she knew. However, her first reaction during an emergency wasn’t something she could control. So, she hid her hand behind her back.Kevan quickly grabbed it and saw an obvious red mark across her hand. He narrowed his eyes, and Larissa could feel the danger in his gaze. She quickly pulled away, but he held her hand tighter. "Don’t move." His voice was gentle, and Larissa did as told. Then, she felt annoyed. Even though she did something wrong, she was the one who was hurt. She didn’t understand why she felt guilty. Then, Kevan pressed the button to take them to the twentieth floor. Since Larissa stood further away from the button and her hand was held by Kevan, she couldn’t touch it. So, she whispered, "Please help me press the button to floor 18. Thank you."Kevan

The words ‘matching set for couples’ popped into Larissa’s mind, and she quickly rejected the idea. The most reasonable answer to this was that he bought all the slippers in the store for convenience. If she looked in his shoe cabinet, she would find … What? Nothing inside?This discovery was unexpected, and she suddenly found the slippers uncomfortable. Then, Kevan put their shoes back into the cabinet. When he turned back, he saw Larissa staring at the shoe cabinet with a complicated gaze. He wasn’t sure what she was thinking about."What’s the matter?" he asked. Only then did Larissa return to her senses and force a smile. "Nothing.""Come in." Kaven ignored her. He took off his jacket and simply threw it on the sofa."Sit." Larissa followed his order and sat on the edge of the sofa while Kaven entered the kitchen.His kitchen was open, so she could clearly see him opening the freezer door and fumbling through it. When he came back, he'd gotten her an ice pack. "Put it

Outside the apartment building was a supermarket. Most families staying at Foxtail Garden had their own nanny, and they rarely cooked. These nannies usually came here early to buy the ingredients they needed that day. Therefore, when Larissa and Kevan arrived, there weren't a lot of customers, and most ingredients were gone, leaving a few vegetables on the shelves. Kevan brought a lobster, steak, and some seasonings to save time. When they arrived at the cashier, a woman came in from outside and saw Kevan. She asked in surprise, "Mr. Rogers? Why are you here?"Larissa looked over to see a woman around her fifties. She had a grocery bag on her shoulder, so she had to be someone's nanny. "I'm buying some ingredients." Kevan took his credit card back from the cashier before putting everything in the bag. The woman looked at him and then at Larissa. "Do you need me to prepare dinner tonight?"Kevan replied, "No." The lady nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay!" Then, she looked a

Dylan deliberately emphasized the word "girlfriend" and dragged out the end syllable of the word.Larissa's face turned red, and she immediately explained, "Julia misunderstood the situation.""I don't think it's a misunderstanding. Aren't you Kevan's girlfriend?" Dylan showed a sincere expression. Just as Larissa was about to retort, he added, "Your contract wasn't signed for nothing."That made Larissa shut up. Then, Dylan rapped on the table and addressed Kevan, who had been standing in place after he entered the house. "Aren't you going to pan-fry the steak?" Kevan shot him a warning glare and said, "I didn't prepare anything for you." "Well, I don't like steak anyway." Dylan acted as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words as he looked at the steaming pot. "I'll have some seafood instead." Kevan couldn't scold him in front of Larissa, so he temporarily suppressed his anger and scooped a spoonful of butter into the pan.Dylan had no intention of stopping and sa

When they argued, Larissa felt extremely uneasy. Dylan was using disposable items like a guest while she was… Lost in her thoughts, Larissa absentmindedly cut into the steak, resulting in a jarring sound as the knife grated against the plate. Both Kevan and Dylan's gazes snapped to her. For a moment, even Larissa was shocked. "Finding it difficult to sink your teeth into?" Dylan jested, a teasing tone in his voice. "No!" Larissa quickly denied, her gaze shifting towards Kevan. Then, she lowered her head and added, "The steak is delicious." Kevan's culinary skills exceeded her expectations. The steak was cooked to perfection, and he had even made the black pepper sauce himself from scratch. Remarkably, the sauce had an impeccable taste, comparable to that of high-end restaurants.Kevan seemed to have read her mind and explained, "I bought the slippers because I found them adorable. Since no other woman has visited my place, I thought you could wear them. If you prefer dispos

When the door closed, Kevan set his cutlery down on the table."Aren't…" Before Dylan could finish his sentence, Kevan discarded all the remaining food into the trash can, including the lobster he had peeled. "Hey!" Dylan exclaimed, but it was too late for him to stop Kevan. "If you don't want to eat it, you can give it to me," Dylan complained. However, Kevan ignored him and cleaned the table with a cold expression. Once he was done, he put all the plates into the sink. Then, he turned on the tap and washed away the dirt on his hands. He pointed at the sink and told Dylan, "You're responsible for washing the dishes." After saying that, Kevan went to take a shower. Dylan was still there when he came out, sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Kevan noticed that the sink was now empty. Kevan draped the towel around his neck and asked impatiently, "Why are you still here?"Dylan crossed his legs and adopted a serious expression. "I need to teach you a lesson," he declared.
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 119
When Larissa reached her office, she locked the door behind her, feeling a sense of unease settling in. Unable to fully concentrate on her work, she found herself constantly on edge, listening intently to any sounds or movements outside her office. When someone passed by her door, she would freeze and be on high alert. Even after the person had moved on, she still felt tense. By the morning's end, her state of tiredness was no different from when she got off work.Close to noon, Larissa saved the report she had done halfway and was about to grab lunch. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside her door again. This time, the footsteps came to a halt right outside her door. Subconsciously, she held her breath, her senses on high alert as she tried to discern the sounds. Her heart was racing. Suddenly, there came three knocks on her door, causing her to involuntarily swallow nervously. Then, she asked, "Who's there?" "It's me," came the voice of a young man, sounding oddly familiar.
