Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 758
Aster and Freddy were in the same kindergarten. Because they were half a year apart, they studied in different class groups.They did not have much interaction in school. They would greet each other and chat a little on the rare chance they met each other when going to school and going home after school.However, these little interactions were gone ever since the unhappy incident from before.Larissa did not know how she should react.Aster's little act of revenge was definitely childish, and should not be encouraged. But she could totally understand his extreme sensitivity. Besides, it was not like Aster's goal was to hurt anyone. So, she rubbed his head and smiled resignedly as she asked, "Are you happy now?"Aster nodded hard. "Yep! Freddy won't ever say that I don't have a daddy anymore!"Larissa's heart ached immediately. "Yeah!" She pressed her lips tightly together and forced back the tears that she could feel were coming.Kevan had missed their conversation. When he got

When Allen locked eyes with Kevan, he could not help but shudder. After standing in place for half a minute, Allen finally walked over to Larissa.Freddy was a bit timid. He kept hiding behind Allen. No one knew if it was because of the unhappy incident with Aster before or because of something else."What a coincidence, you're here to watch movies too?" Afraid that Freddy and Allen thought that she was still holding a grudge, Larissa took the initiative to talk to them."Freddy's class is going to have a stage play. It will be based on this movie, so I canceled his piano class tonight." Allen was talking to Larissa, but he kept glancing at Kevan. Finally, he could not help but ask, "This is?"Larissa knew that he would ask, but she had not yet prepared the answer to this question. However, before she could speak, Aster could not help but quickly announce, "This is my daddy!" His smug tone was obvious.Kevan smiled warmly and held Aster tighter in his arm.Although Allen had he

Because they were watching the same movie, Larissa's group of three met Allen and Freddy in the theater a few minutes later. Allen and Freddy's seats were in the row in front of them.It was unsure if it was due to Allen and Freddy getting a huge blow earlier outside, or if they were trying to avoid the attention of the other audience. But when they passed by in front of Larissa, they did not stop at all.The lights turned off quickly.Allen and Freddy vanished in the dark, and Larissa could no longer see them.Disnie movies were suitable for all ages, so the plot would be a bit childish for adults. Larissa only watched halfway before she fell asleep.She was woken by Aster. When she woke up, the movie was already finished. The lights in the theater were bright.The seats in the rows below them were all empty. A few cinema staff were cleaning up the trash row by row.Aster stood in front of Larissa. He was still hugging the popcorn bucket that was not finished. He was frowning h

Kevan's answer was not surprising. "No."Larissa angrily screwed shut the cap of the moisturizer bottle before sitting on the bed resignedly.Kevan sat near her and put her leg onto his lap.Larissa's skin was fair. It was a little red from the steam from the bathroom as she had just finished showering.Kevan's eyes darkened slowly. His normally cold fingers had grown warm due to his boiling blood. His palm rubbed circles into her ankle. The force he used was just right. Although there would be a bit of pain from his rubbing, it was still better than the "abuse" Lewis gave her that afternoon."Hey, did you learn this from someone?" Larissa was curious. She had wanted to ask for a while now, but she never found the chance to."Nope." Kevan smiled. "You ever heard of practice makes perfect?"Larissa froze for a moment. It was not difficult to figure out what he meant. But the moment she thought of the horrible things he went through, she could not help but shudder. Her heart actua

Kevan's fingertips had calluses on them, probably from long-term typing. When they brushed over Larissa's skin, electricity raced through her body from that point of contact.Larissa's face was so red, and she could not help but move a bit.Kevan thought that he wanted to pull her leg away, so he quickly grabbed her ankle. "Don't move." He lowered his voice. "The medicine is not absorbed into your skin yet. It'll rub onto the sheets."Larissa stilled at once. She was very stiff as she replied quietly, "Okay." Then, she looked down and unknowingly picked at the sheets, causing deep wrinkles in the cloth.Kevan gazed at the top of her head as he controlled his urge to touch it. He changed to a lighter topic. "How was your first day at Blue Star? Okay?""Yeah, it wasn't bad." Larissa's fingers moved from the bed to her back. She rubbed at the place that ached. "It's just that I sat for the whole day, and it didn't feel so good."She used to work in a hotel, so she rarely sat down fo

Aster began nagging her again. "We told you to wear a down jacket, right? But you didn't listen! With how thin your outfit is, what are you going to do if you catch a cold!"Bloody hell, this tone, and attitude—the kid had copied Wendy perfectly.Larissa ignored him and quickly walked to the car. Kevan had unlocked the car earlier, so she entered the car. The thermostat was off in the car, but it was still warmer than outside.Kevan led Aster into the car. He was doing everything at a super casual pace. He also opened the car window on his side just a little bit, and the winter wind blew in through this crack. It all smacked onto Larissa's face.Larissa sneezed several times loudly.Kevan glanced at her through the rearview mirror, but he still said nothing."Can you close the window?" Larissa rubbed her itchy nose as she tried to discuss with Kevan. She lost all her patience because of the cold winds, and her voice was unfriendly.Kevan denied her righteously. "There's no air c

Larissa stood there as she thought about it for two minutes. Eventually, she still walked in with her cup.A group of women were having a little meeting in front of the coffee machine in the pantry.Larissa asked politely with a smile on her face, "Could you guys excuse me for a bit?"The chattering stopped at once.The women let her pass while looking away from her or touching something else. They could not have made their guilt more obvious.Judy studied Larissa's expression carefully. Seeing that there was nothing odd about her, Judy simply assumed that Larissa did not hear anything."The coffee's not ready yet, so we're all waiting here." Judy took the initiative to talk to Larissa. Her voice was sweet, like they were friends for many years."Oh," Larissa politely responded. "Then I'll come by later." She was about to leave when Judy grabbed her arm."Is the coffee for yourself, or is it for Mr. Logan Junior?" Judy stared at Larissa's mug. A flash of jealousy appeared in he
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 765
"I accidentally broke the mug you gave me." Larissa did not want to make this issue bigger than it already was, so she purposely hid the truth. "Do you have a new mug? I'm a bit thirsty and I want to drink some coffee.""I don't have any more mugs, but I do have a thermos that I barely used. It's pretty clean. If you don't mind, you can use it for now. I'll buy you a new cup tomorrow," Lewis said."Sure." Larissa was not that bad of a clean freak, so she did not mind as he already said that he had cleaned it. Lewis gave her his thermos.Larissa waited for a while, then she went to the pantry again.The cup pieces had already been taken care of by the janitor. The women had also vanished.Larissa waited for the coffee to finish brewing before she poured a cup for herself. She sipped at it as she walked outside. She ran into Judy again at the door.Judy was holding a one-time-use cup that she got from who knew where. When she saw Larissa, she widened her eyes."I was just going to
