Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 630
Since Gary still had a meeting, he left with Lewis. He was unhappy after getting lectured by Larissa. Kevan stayed behind to keep Larissa company. To cheer her up, he brought her downstairs in a wheelchair to bask in the sun. The small park at the hospital was one of the few peaceful places in Westonia. There weren't many tall buildings around to block out the sun. So, the warm sunrays shone down on the people in the park. It bathed them in a dazzling golden glow. Before they went out, Kevan wrapped Larissa in a thick down coat and covered her legs with a thick blanket. Still, Larissa found herself feeling hot after a couple of minutes. She unzipped the coat. Kevan frowned in disapproval. He went around the wheelchair. He knelt in front of her, zipping the coat back up to her chin. His fingers were long and slender. In contrast to the red coat, his skin looked even paler than usual. It made the bluish veins underneath more apparent. Larissa couldn't help but stare at Kevan.

"I heard about our past from Dylan." In the end, Kevan still couldn't be honest with her. Using Dylan as an excuse, he tried to bring up their history together. Alas, this news shocked Larissa.The expression on her face froze. Her body stiffened when she heard Kevan's words. To Larissa, Kevan, who had lost his memories, might appear to be the same person as Kevan from before. Alas, he was still quite different. He didn't have the unpleasant memories of their past together, nor was he as sarcastic and harsh as before. Their improved relationship right now was based on the foundation that she didn't feel embarrassed about herself in front of him anymore. Things would be different if he regained his previous memories. She could forgive Kevan in his current state. Alas, she couldn't let go of the pain that he had caused her in the past. As her guard went up, Kevan could see the change in her eyes which had turned cold with suspicion. His heart ached. It was as if it was p

They returned to the hospital ward. The vibe between them was very different from before. Kevan had regained some of his past memories. So, Larissa didn't know how to act around him. He was eager to talk about their past. Yet she couldn't muster up the courage to do so. That was the topic she wanted to avoid the most. Covering her mouth, Larissa pretended to yawn. "I'm feeling a bit tired. You can go about your business while I take a nap." She got into bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. Kevan knew that it was an excuse. So, he didn't want to trouble her further. He went along with her and replied, "Alright, get a good rest." Kevan came to Westonia for two purposes. First to visit Larissa and second to discuss how to deal with Cody with Gary. The latter issue was completely resolved the day before. Thus, the reason he stayed back was to spend more time with Larissa, hoping that it would alleviate his feelings of loneliness while they were apart. Still, it seemed as

The security guards told Dylan that the couple came to look for their daughter-in-law. They mentioned that her name was Larissa Seymour. However, the apartment complex had tight security measures. Even if Larissa's name was on the resident's list, the security guards couldn't let them in. The guard had informed them that they had to either wait for their daughter-in-law to come and pick them up or have her call the security office. After receiving her call, only then could they enter the apartment complex. Travis' parents refused both options. They insisted on kicking up a fuss at the entrance of the apartment complex. In the end, the security guards had to call the police to take them away. Hearing this, Kevan furrowed his brows. After the Hardy family took the one million dollars from Yvette, they returned to their hometown. No one had heard anything from them since. Kevan didn't bother wasting his time to follow up on them as they didn't stir up any trouble. Who could

Kevan's plane touched down at Bartham early in the morning. He had notified his assistant before getting on the plane. Thus, a car was waiting for Kevan to pick him up. Despite the long flight, Kevan didn't seem tired at all. He went home and got changed. After that, he headed straight to the company without needing any time to get used to the time difference. Yesterday, Kevan had gone through most of his work that had piled up. While driving, Kevan's assistant suggested, "Mr. Rogers, you don't need to rush back to the office. You should take some time off to rest at home instead …"With a frown, Kevan waved his hand to dismiss his assistant, who fell silent with a look of concern on his face. Kevan checked his emails on his phone, browsing through the unread messages that he missed during the flight. He continued receiving updates about Lana's situation. Since Yvette's hospital ward was not a single room, Lana could only sit on the bedside chair for a moment. Sometimes,

Kevan was afraid. He seemed to be more anxious after reuniting with Larissa. Kevan could guess the reason why the Hardy family was looking for Larissa. It was because of money. After their abuse, Kevan knew that Larissa would not accept the Hardy family's demands. Still, they might use Travis' death as a ploy to soften Larissa's heart. Kevan didn't know everything about Larissa. Still, he knew a lot about her. They had been together for so many years, after all. Despite her sharp tongue and stubborn personality, she would relent if one persisted. Kevan only liked it when Larissa relented for him. Kevan narrowed his eyes. Since Travis was dead, he had to disappear from this world. He could not be a hindrance to Larissa ever again. A thick stack of documents slid out of the paper bag. They plopped on his office desk. At first glance, Kevan's eyes fell on a photo attached to a resume on the first page. Earlier, his subordinate had given him information on the member

The Hardy family had no money, power, or connections. They enjoyed a short period of popularity within their community from having two successful sons. Many close and distant relatives came knocking on their door with gifts to ask for favors. Some of them requested that Travis find a job for their children in Covenford. And some of them requested to borrow large sums of money. Dick and Janine were snobs who cared about their reputation. But they loved money even more. Those who came to borrow money were sent away with various excuses. As for those who came to ask for jobs, Travis was forced to fulfill each of their requests. This was because they didn't need to spend a cent to receive admiration from their relatives. Larissa was not spared as well. She was also forced to use her connections at work to land jobs at the Regal Dynasty Hotel for the Hardy family's relatives. Still, people were pragmatic. They saw that Andrew had returned to his hometown and started living off

Kevan skimmed through all the information. He placed the stack of documents down. He picked up the phone on his office desk. "Check and see if any department in the company received a resume from a man named Andrew Hardy." He received a reply soon after, "Farnworth Finances received his resume." Farnworth Finances was a financial service company under Microworks Corporation. Since Andrew was a finance graduate, it was understandable that he sent his resume there. Kevan tapped on the desk lightly with his index and pondered for a moment. "Notify him to come in for work as soon as possible." If Andrew wanted a job, he would give him what he wanted, as long as that family would stop stirring up more trouble for Larissa. Time flew by, and it was Saturday. Early in the morning, Dylan knocked on Kevan's door. "Are you ready? Can we leave now?"Unlike Dylan, who was dressed up in a suit, Kevan was still in his black silk pajamas, leisurely drinking a cup of coffee in his living r

Gary and Lewis left Bartham after two days.Blue Star did not give them time off. They couldn't stay for long.Larissa's holidays were coming to an end as well. Half of the time, she was in the Rogers' villa.Because of the pandemic, most of the shops weren't open yet. She slept and ate at home most of the time and accompanied her family. It was quite nice.After the holidays, Kevan and Larissa went back to work.Aster was sent to the kindergarten that he'd been to before. Violet was the one who drove him to and fro.In fact, in order to better take care of him, the parents moved out of Rogers' villa and bought a house in Kevan and Larissa's neighborhood.The days passed in the blink of an eye.Blue Star's company in Bartham was quickly built.

Violet had set aside Larissa's breakfast for her.Larissa ate with reddened cheeks. Kevan and Aster, who had been waiting for her, got up at the same time. Violet brought out a boxful of pie from the kitchen."Don't forget this." She put the box in Kevan's hands."Alright. Thanks, Mom." Kevan looked at Larissa and asked, "Can we go now?"Larissa wanted to ignore him, but in front of Violet, she couldn't express her emotions right now."Yes," she replied, pulling Aster toward her. She said goodbye to Violet and strode out the door.Kevan smiled in slight annoyance and followed suit.…Kevan had told Aster beforehand that they were going to see Great-Grandpa. Thus, all of Aster's questions on the way there revolved around him."Why is great-grandpa called 'Great-Grandpa'?""Is he Grandpa's dad?""Is Great-Grandpa fierce?""If he's dead, how is he going to eat the pie?"…Kevan patiently answered all of his questions.Meanwhile, Larissa looked out the window silently.Keva

Since Larissa had gone downstairs alone, it was natural to expect a few questions."Where's Kevan? Why isn't he coming down with you?""Where's Daddy? He said he would launch fireworks with me."Larissa walked over calmly and made up an excuse. "He's tired, so he showered and slept."The older people did not doubt her. Only Lewis stared at her thoughtfully."Oh … Why did Daddy sleep so early?" Aster pouted in disappointment."You can get him to launch fireworks with you tomorrow. It'll be the same." Larissa patted his head, keeping a calm expression on her face.Anthony and Violet gave the gifts they'd prepared to Larissa and Aster.Violet looked at them, tears falling down her cheeks."I have no regrets now," she said."Thank you, Mom." Larissa gave her a big hug.Violet was stunned, and she cried harder."Good girl." She hugged Larissa back, smiling widely.After Anthony and Violet, Gary and Lewis gave them their gifts. However, they were calm. Aster was so happy that he

"Happy Reunion Day!"For some reason, Larissa's eyes became a little moist. Her voice even sounded a bit choked up."What's wrong?" Kevan nervously held her face, urging her to meet his gaze. "Didn't you like the fireworks just now?"She shook her head. "No, I really liked them!""Then, why are you crying?" Kevan couldn't stand seeing her cry; it tugged at his heart."I'm just very moved."She buried her face in his chest, speaking emotionally, "Welcoming the big family reunion dinner with the person you love is wonderful."The corners of Kevan's mouth gradually curved up as he heard what she said.The hand around her waist tightened inch by inch."I love you too, Lari."He lowered his head and planted a kiss on the top of her head.She hurriedly pushed him away as she sensed his body's response. But she couldn't move him much."They're still waiting for us downstairs!" she reminded him.Lewis knew she was awake, and the fireworks were already over. If they stayed he

It was a rare occasion to have the entire extended family gathered together like this for the big family reunion dinner. In the evening, everyone was in high spirits, having enjoyed a bit of alcohol. Violet took advantage of the festive atmosphere and insisted that Gary and Lewis stay.Since Larissa woke up early after a day without proper rest, she was already feeling quite sleepy even though the reunion dinner TV celebration had just begun.Violet was understanding and told her to go to bed.Larissa tried to muster her energy to stay up."No, I'll at least wait until after midnight."She wasn't someone who adhered to rituals or traditions.In previous years, she wouldn't have stayed up late specifically to welcome the big family reunion dinner day.But this year was different.She had the companionship of her family.She was no longer a drifting, rootless plant in a foreign land.Kevan furrowed his brows slightly and gave her a gentle push."You should get some sleep.

Larissa recalled that there was indeed such an incident.However, Kevan's excuse to her was that he needed to go to Westonia to handle matters concerning Edmund."Kevan knows how the customs work better than you! You're not even married. Yet, you're already taking his side!"Gary scoffed.His displeasure was quite obvious.Larissa chuckled awkwardly, then decided to come clean and reveal the whole truth. "Well, the truth is, Kevan and I never actually got divorced. I married him over six years ago."Gary hadn't heard this from Kevan.So, his emotions seemed conflicted upon first hearing that. He clutched his chest. It was as if he were experiencing some discomfort.Larissa and Lewis quickly approached him, asking with concern, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"In a sudden change of demeanor, Gary used his other hand to playfully tap Larissa's forehead.His expression instantly returned to normal. However, the tap was quite forceful, causing Larissa to wince in pain."If yo

Larissa had to pick up Gary and Lewis early tomorrow morning. So, after having dinner, she returned to her room to freshen up and get ready for bed. As she lay down on the bed, she found herself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.Kevan had just managed to put Aster to sleep before coming into the room. He noticed that the lights were still on.He furrowed his brow and asked, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"Larissa lifted the blanket and sat up abruptly. "I'm feeling very anxious right now," she admitted.Her hair was in disarray.There was a troubled expression on her face."Anxious about what?" Kevan inquired."Well, my dad is coming over tomorrow. What if he doesn't get along with your parents?" The mere thought of that possibility gave her a headache."Uncle Gary is a reasonable person. He won't easily give anyone a hard time," Kevan defended Gary.His words brought a smile to Larissa's face. "Are you saying he hasn't been gi

"Alright, then. We shall head out." Larissa gathered her belongings and pulled Kevan toward the exit."I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning. It's almost the big family reunion dinner day. "So, it's hard to find a cab on the road. You might even find yourself waiting for half a day without coming across an empty cab."Gary didn't refuse. Instead, he requested, "Then, you come alone tomorrow."Her steps hesitated a moment, and she sighed inwardly. Gary really hadn't changed."Alright," she agreed.…As soon as they closed the door, Larissa began complaining to Kevan, "I thought my dad had really come around! Turns out, he still has reservations about you!"Kevan tightened his grip on her hand and smiled."Take it slow; there has to be a gradual process."He didn't expect Gary to change his attitude overnight. But as long as things were moving in a positive direction, he was content.She shrugged upon hearing that."Well, it's not me who's being wronged here; it's y
