Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 789
It was not a problem if Aster saw Larissa's picture. But if Aster told Wendy about it—Larissa could imagine how Wendy would laugh at her and what face she would make."I'll take the pictures for you now, okay?" She gave in helplessly.Kevan stood there and watched her. "Sure."Larissa pressed her lips together and raised her phone. She pointed the front camera at herself and randomly snapped a few shots.Her phone was an old one from last year. The front camera was not really good, and it did not have any pretty filter functions. Combined with her randomness—none of the pictures could be used.Kevan stared at her phone's photo album, and his frown grew deeper."I don't mean to force you to take pictures." He returned Larissa's phone to her. "If you're not willing …""I'm willing!" Larissa interrupted him. "I'll retake the pictures until you're satisfied. Okay?"Kevan looked hesitant."I'll take the pictures in whatever way you want!" Larissa patted her chest in promise."Fi

Larissa's body froze. She turned around to look at Aster.Aster seemed rather angry as he stared at Larissa with disapproval.Larissa quickly let go of Kevan. She was about to explain when the kid said, "You guys are not hugging me!" He pouted. Larissa found his hurt look very funny.Kevan was the calmest out of all three of them. He waved to Aster and said, "Come here."Aster's eyes lit up at once, and he ran to Kevan.Kevan gave Larissa his laptop and bent down to hug Aster.Aster hugged Kevan and left a big, wet kiss on his cheek. "Daddy's the best!"Kevan glanced at Larissa, who had a complicated look on her face as she stood there. He purposely asked Aster, "Is Mommy not good?""Mommy is good too!" Aster always liked to flatter his mother. He naturally would not "disrespect" her now. He quickly reached out to Larissa after saying that, adding, "I want Mommy's hug too!"Larissa let her son drag her over. Aster's arms were hugging both Kevan and Larissa. It made the thr

Aster agreed. "Oh, okay."Kevan gave Larissa a weird smile. "If you need to work, you can use my laptop."Larissa sneered at him. "Thank you for that, but I don't. Flipping. Need it!"…The kid had seen Larissa and Kevan sleeping in the same bed. He now wanted to sleep with them together.Although Larissa's fever was gone, her cold was not gone. Worried that she would pass it to him, she persuaded Aster to not sleep with her. In the end, this whole thing ended with Kevan going over to accompany him to bed.Larissa was happy to have the whole bed to herself. She even childishly rolled around the bed a few times. But when she turned off the lights and listened to her own breathing, she felt that the bed was too empty. It made her feel a little lonely.When she realized that, she felt terrified. She hid herself under the blanket and curled up under it. She also hugged herself. But even with that, she was unable to stop herself from feeling lonely.She tossed and turned a lot tha

Larissa looked up to see an angry, dark-faced Gary. Behind him was Marilyn, who looked very serious too.When he saw Larissa standing outside, Gary stopped walking in surprise.Larissa hurriedly greeted him. "Mr. Logan Senior, Mr. Logan Junior." She bowed her head. She did everything she could to act like she was not familiar with these two men.Gary nodded and grunted once in response to Larissa. Then, he walked away without even looking at her to help maintain her act.Lewis also paused in front of Larissa. "Late with no reason. Your attendance bonus along with other bonuses for this month are deducted." He played the part of a cold, heartless superior, and he ordered Larissa, "Come to my office and explain the reason why you were late."His voice was not quiet, so all the other colleagues stuck at the door of the meeting room could hear him.Marilyn gave her a look of sympathy while the others sneered at her.Larissa bowed her head even more. She followed behind Lewis. The

Marilyn gave Larissa looks with her eyes. She was telling her to look at the company's internal communication software.Larissa had been busy trying to find people when she first arrived. Then, she was called into Lewis' office. Only now did she have the time to open up all the software on her laptop.The message icon in the bottom right corner of the laptop's screen kept flashing. Larissa clicked on it and saw Marilyn's message. "Judy has been fired by Mr. Logan Senior in person! Today's last-minute meeting was held because of Judy. Mr. Logan Senior was so angry! Thank goodness you did not come!"Judy was fired?Shocked, Larissa glanced over in the direction of Judy's seat, but there was a wall blocking her. So, she was not able to see if Judy was still there or not."What happened?" she asked Marilyn, who sent her a link.Larissa only found out that Blue Star Shipping had a little internal forum after she clicked on the link.The forum had all kinds of sections for diffe

Objectively speaking, Judy's actions could only prove that her personality in private was shit. Even if the video got posted online, the worst that could happen was that people would condemn her so much that she lost her dignity. It would not get so bad that she would lose her job.Alas, the bad thing about this was that people managed to find out exactly who she was.It was near impossible to find the true identity of a person based on just one video online. One needed advanced face recognition technology for that.For Judy's identity to be exposed in just a day was definitely because the video was spread everywhere. So much so that Judy's friends and acquaintances were able to tell that it was her.Still, Larissa thought the most important thing was that Judy had offended too many people. Thus, others would purposely drag her down and post all of her information online.The netizens wanted Judy to be punished. So, the most direct way was to pressure the company she worked at a

Larissa held the door to let Gary and Lewis in. But Lewis held the other side of the door as he gestured gentlemanly at Larissa and said, "Ladies first."Larissa was wondering if she should be polite with him when Marilyn pulled her into the elevator.Marilyn was smiling as she kept thanking Lewis. "Thank you, Mr. Logan Junior!"All four of them stood in the elevator. Most company employees had already left, so the elevator did not stop and went down quickly.Lewis pretended to ask casually, "Where are you going to eat?"Realizing that he was talking to them, Marilyn's eyes widened as she said shakily, "We're going to a famous Caldorian restaurant nearby."Aldovia's Caldorian restaurants were mostly changed to fit the taste of the locals, so it was not original. However, the restaurant near their company maintained "Caldorian originality." Hence, it attracted a lot of Caldorians who were working or studying abroad in Westonia. It became a trendy restaurant.Larissa had already

Although Lewis sounded like he was just asking, it also sounded like he was trying to place blame on someone.Marilyn was Gary's secretary. Although she did the typical jobs of a secretary, she was still closer to Gary than the others in the presidential office.Gary was focused on his work. He also held high standards for his employees. He did not care too much about a person's character, but he could not tolerate people lording over others in the company.In situations like these, Gary's secretary would have a very important role—she had to report to him about the most unimportant things in the company on time. They might be inconsequential, but they were definitely things that needed to be dealt with.Marilyn seemed to realize her mistake as well. She looked down guiltily and gripped her drink with both hands."I heard some of it." She admitted to Lewis. "It's my fault for not reporting it to Mr. Logan Senior.""But you made up for it, didn't you?" Lewis gazed at her. His eyes

Wendy said, "You have to walk faster than this, Larissa! It's almost time! Your husband can't wait!""Alright!" Larissa quickly gathered up her skirts and followed her.The sun was out.Its golden rays shone softly on the red carpet through the rose petals.Larissa suppressed her desire to stay here for a little while longer and quickly walked toward the end.It was the door to the glass hall.Gary held Aster's hand and his cane in the other, waiting for her at the entrance.When he saw her, Aster immediately let go of Gary's hand and rushed toward her. "You're so pretty today, Mommy!"Larissa patted his head and smiled gently. "Thank you."Aster was her flower boy. Like Gary, he was wearing a tuxedo with a little bowtie.He was holding a basket that was proportionate to his body. In it were rose petals of various colors and shapes.The music suddenly began playing.Gary walked up to her and extended his arm toward her. "Let's go."He looked at her with a smile, his eyes g

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. Lewis sent over a few loyal and trained employees to hold the fort with Larissa and hired people according to the company's needs. The company was soon on the right track, and the headquarters' work was moved over.Larissa grew busier an

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
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 1005
"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.
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 1003
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
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 1001
"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
