Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 814
The atmosphere at the table was usually cheerful. Aster and Wendy were die-hard fans of Kevan. They showered him with praise and compliments on everything he did. Fortunately, Kevan was used to such attention. Throughout dinner, he remained calm and did not let their praises get to his head. Larissa disapproved of their flattery and refused to associate with them. She lowered her head and focused on shoving food into her mouth. Larissa did not engage in any conversation that was unrelated to her. Halfway through the meal, Kevan asked Wendy, "What time will your friend arrive tomorrow? I don't have much to do, so I can help you pick him up." Wendy had her mouth full of food at that moment. When she heard the question, she almost choked on her dinner. She quickly took some tissue and covered her mouth, coughing and sputtering. Larissa poured a glass of water for Wendy and patted her back to help her recover. After a long while, Wendy finally caught her breath. "No need to t

Larissa followed Kevan reluctantly into the kitchen. He closed the door yet again. "What happened to you just now?" He had his back to the door, blocking her escape. "What do you mean, just now? What's wrong with me?" Larissa was stunned by his question. "During dinner just now, you were lost in thought with a sad expression." Kevan reminded her. Larissa realized what he was referring to and felt flustered. She didn't want to tell him the truth, so she used Wendy as a shield. To make it seem more believable, she said with a pout. "I'm sad because Wendy won't bring her friend back to meet me. Even though we are best friends and I tell her everything … I didn't expect her to hide this from me." Kevan didn't seem the least bit suspicious. The tensed lines on his face softened, and he ruffled Larissa's hair affectionately. "Maybe she felt that it wasn't the right time to introduce him to her friends. Or … " He paused abruptly with a cold look in his eyes. "That man has someth

Larissa's unexpected actions caught Kevan off guard. After a pause, he smiled and said, "Sure." "I want to go too!" Aster exclaimed and jumped off the sofa, rushing toward Kevan. Wendy acted swiftly and caught Aster by the waist. She held him in her arms tightly. "Why are you going out so late at night? It's cold outside. You might catch a cold!" Aster struggled to escape, but Wendy glared at him and threatened in a low tone, "If you struggle any longer, I will not take you to McRonald's behind your mother's back again!" Aster settled down immediately. Wendy shot a smile at Larissa and Kevan. "I will take care of Aster. Don't worry. Larissa, take your time in sending Mr. Rogers off. If you don't want to come back home, it's fine too." Larissa shot her a glare, signaling for her to shut up. She grabbed Kevan's hand and said, "Let's go." Larissa's apartment faced the street, with the main road just outside. Kevan's car was parked by the roadside, less than six feet from the

Larissa's heart was pounding rapidly. A sense of fear surged within her whenever she thought about what she would say. Larissa felt a strong urge to retreat. However, she had finally gathered the courage to make this decision. She didn't know when she would muster up the courage to attempt once more if she missed this opportunity. Larissa closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Previously, you said you would give me a week to consider. The week has passed." She had been counting the days for the past week. When her week was up, she spent the entire day in torment, waiting for Kevan to ask for her answer. However, it seemed as if he had forgotten about it. Until today, he hadn't brought it up. Larissa couldn't wait any longer. She didn't want to drag it out further. Kevan's eyes lit up, and he drawled, "Yes?" Lately, he had been enjoying his time with Larissa. Besides, she hadn't done anything that crossed his boundaries. Kevan didn't want to disrupt the harmonious atmosp

The car stopped at the entrance of Larissa's apartment. Looking at the familiar surroundings, Larissa asked in surprise, "Why are we back here?" Kevan raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "Were you hoping to come to my hotel? Let's go then." He pretended to start the car engine. Larissa lunged forward and stopped him. With a charming smile, she said, "No, no! Aster's waiting for me at home!" Kevan snorted and held her hand instead. "You want to leave? Fine." He pointed to his cheek. "Give me a kiss, then I'll let you go." Staring at his perfect profile, Larissa licked her lips unconsciously and swallowed. The silence was deafening in the car. Larissa could hear her own heartbeat pulsing in her ears. She leaned in and inched closer to Kevan's face. Finally, her lips landed on his cheek. In less than a second, she pulled back immediately. "I'm leaving!" Larissa undid her seatbelt and escaped from the car as fast as she could. Kevan touched the warm spot on his cheek and smiled

Raising his hand, Kevan ruffled Aster's hair. Aster grabbed onto his arm and climbed into his lap."When are you two getting married? Where will you get married? When you marry, will you invite many guests, like on TV? Should I invite my classmates? "But I've seen that in dramas, kids aren't allowed to attend weddings … Does that mean I can't go either?" Aster, who was initially excited, deflated instantly when he said this.His childish reasoning brought laughter to the three adults present. "Of course you can attend. You can invite your classmates if you wish. However, we have not set a date for our wedding. You might need to wait for a while." Kevan had always been patient with Aster. "Alright then." Aster seemed a little disappointed. Soon, he asked, "Will you be having your wedding in Westonia or Bartham? If it is in Bartham, can I invite my classmates there? Besides, will we stay at Bartham in the future? Am I going to transfer schools to Bartham?" Kevan had yet to disc

Larissa turned to look at Kevan in shock and nervousness. "When Lari has more time, we can pack up and move." Kevan shot Larissa a smile, ignoring the questioning look in her eyes. "We have an event to attend at the kindergarten on Saturday. How about Sunday?" Larissa's eyes grew wider, and she stammered at the unexpected news. "W–Where are we moving to? Why don't I know about this?" Kevan let go of her waist and ruffled her hair affectionately. He whispered in a mysterious tone, "You'll find out this Sunday." When Kevan said to wait until Sunday, he absolutely would not reveal a hint about their new home before that. Even though Larissa pestered him with questions throughout the entire ride to work, he remained tight-lipped. Larissa could not get any clues from him.When she got out of the car, Larissa slammed the door, seething with anger. Kevan covered his ears and stared after her retreating figure with a smile. Larissa arrived in the nick of time. Her new colleagues

Thinking of that, Larissa felt a little regretful for what she did. She was impulsive in setting them up. So, she didn't consider whether it was the right time to do it. "To express my apology, how about I invite you to my place for dinner tonight? We will be having stew." The mark on Marilyn's cheek had faded without a trace because of the ointment she got from the infirmary. It was Larissa's chance to turn the situation around. "Stew?" Marilyn had not tried Larissa's cooking before. Recalling her previous experience with Caldorian cuisine, she felt apprehensive. "Is it spicy?" "There are spicy and non-spicy options. You can go for the non-spicy one," Larissa replied. Marilyn agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll be there." Since she had a ride, Larissa asked Kevan to not pick her up. She did not mention to Marilyn that Lewis would also be coming. After work, Larissa walked with Marilyn, leaving Lewis behind. Both cars met up in front of Larissa's apartment building. As Lariss
