Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 829
Kevan picked up a strawberry from the plate. He brought it to Larissa's lips. He gestured for her to open her mouth. Larissa wasn't used to such public displays of affection. She wanted to take the strawberry with her hand. Alas, Kevan dodged. "You can choose between me feeding you by hand or by mouth," Kevan whispered in a low tone against her ear. Larissa opened her mouth and bit into the strawberry. Kevan didn't let go. After she bit off half of the strawberry, he ate the other half. "That's really sweet." He licked the remaining juice off his lips, exuding a seductive expression. Larissa could sense the burning gazes of other people on Kevan. She felt irritated by that. Jealousy surged within her, filling the air with a sour taste. She pinched the flesh on his waist. She warned him through gritted teeth, "You better tone it down before I teach you a lesson back home!" Kevan's smile widened and he agreed in a cheerful tone. "Okay." He seemed to be in a go

Allen's words sounded a little ambiguous. "What's different? I have also come this far by learning step by step like everyone else." Larissa clarified in a hurry. She was afraid that Kevan would be offended and do something overboard. Kevan wasn't paying attention to their interactions. At this moment, he was playing a childish game with Aster. They were smearing whipped cream and flour on each other's faces. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Larissa took a moment to glance over. When she saw cream on them, her temples throbbed. "Excuse me," she said to Allen. Going over to the other side of the table, she pinched Aster's ear. In reality, she wanted to pinch Kevan's ear instead. However, she didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone in the room."What are you two doing? After the competition is over, we need to go for dinner. What if the restaurant won't let us in now that your clothes are so dirty?" Larissa scolded with a frown. "Then we will f

Kevan snorted with disdain. "His pitiful situation is caused by his dad. It wouldn't be difficult at all to find him a stepmother. Instead, he wants someone else's wife!" Larissa chuckled at his words. The sense of pity she felt for Freddy disappeared instantly. Kevan's reasoning made sense. The situation was easy to resolve. As long as Allen found a wife to marry, Freddy would have a complete family again. No matter how much she pitied Freddy, she couldn't fulfill his wish. Compared to other children, her own son took priority. Finally, the cake was ready. When they opened the oven, a sweet and enticing aroma wafted out. Larissa cut off the edges of the cake into a plate and asked Aster to share them with other children. She assumed that he would give some to Freddy first, but he went straight to another table. After the plate was empty, only then did he return. Larissa was a little angry. She hoped that Aster would become lively and mischievous, but she di

Larissa was decorating the cake when she heard Freddy's offer. She froze in place and stared at the tarts in his hands. Larissa didn't know how to respond. Aster had a strawberry in his hand and placed it on the cake. He ignored Freddy. Freddy's face fell. Larissa realized that his feelings might have been hurt, so she quickly took the tarts. She stuffed one into Aster's hand. "Thank you." She bent down and ruffled Freddy's hair affectionately. Only then did Freddy show a shy smile. Aster turned away with pursed lips. He gripped the tart in his hand, but he didn't eat it nor throw it away. The competition ended. As expected, Larissa's strawberry cake didn't win any prizes. However, it received unanimous praise from Aster's classmates. Larissa suspected that most of the credit was because of Kevan's and Aster's good looks. Allen cleared up his table and came over to ask Larissa, "We're going out for dinner. Do you want to join us?" Larissa declined his offe

Larissa might have used too much force earlier. As she spoke, she reached out to pull up Freddy's sleeve.He pulled away in alarm and hid his arm behind him. Freddy insisted, "It doesn't hurt." Larissa wasn't feeling at ease with his strange reaction. "Let me talk to your dad. We should go to the hospital for a check-up, okay?" she tried to coax him with a gentle tone. Freddy's resistance grew stronger. He took a few steps back and shouted at Larissa, "No! Don't tell my dad! I'm not going to the hospital!" Larissa grew worried and waved at him. "Okay, I won't tell your dad. I won't bring you to the hospital either. Come over here and let's talk properly." Freddy kept his distance and looked at her warily. He did not move closer to Larissa at all. Larissa and Freddy remained in a standoff until Kevan's and Allen's cars pulled up in front of them. Kevan honked the horn, startling Larissa. At this moment, Freddy dashed past her and got into Allen's car. Allen

They ended up eating dinner at home. Larissa had no appetite. She picked at her food before making an excuse to go back to her bedroom. When Kevan entered the room, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed with her head down. She was looking at her phone with a conflicted expression. Hearing his footsteps, Larissa looked up and asked Kevan, "Did you already know earlier on?" Thinking back, his unusual behavior made sense."Not that early. The night before yesterday, I heard that man's voice on Wendy's video call. I found it familiar, but I only suspected it." Kevan walked over to her and sat down. "So, that's why you deliberately offered to pick him up at the airport to confirm your suspicions?" "Yes." Now that things had progressed this far, Kevan had no need to hide anything. Although Wendy declined his offer, Kevan managed to confirm his suspicions on his own yesterday. His ears had not deceived him. This whole situation had become quite tricky. "Are yo

"It's a perfect plan, so I will handle it. You just have to wait for the good news, okay?" Of course, Larissa believed in Kevan's ability to pull this off. She nodded. "Alright." Kevan let out a sigh of relief. "However, until the matter is resolved, Wendy can't suspect anything," he reminded her. "That might be a little difficult," Larissa felt discouraged. She and Wendy understood each other the most in the world. She could put on an act in front of others, but not Wendy. "She can easily see through me." "Well, there's only one solution." Kevan frowned and thought for a moment. Larissa waited for him to continue. Finally, Kevan said, "Move out." "What?" Larissa thought she had misheard him. "You should move out. Since we've decided to get married, we will have to move in together sooner or later. I bought some properties in Westonia years ago. My initial plan was to show you around for a few days before deciding where to move to, but now the situation is urgent. Y
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 836
Larissa was startled out of her skin. She almost forgot to maintain the expression on her face. Kevan remained composed. "Didn't we discuss moving earlier? Since we're free, we'll move some of our things to the new house." This topic was initiated by Wendy herself yesterday. When she heard Kevan's words, she didn't suspect anything. "You found a house so quickly?" Kevan smiled. "I've been planning it for a while." Wendy gave him a thumbs up. "Truly befitting your style, Mr. Rogers!" Larissa turned her back toward Wendy to avoid eye contact with her. Wendy hugged Larissa from behind and asked jokingly, "What's wrong? Missing me already?"Larissa choked up and spoke in a trembling voice, "Yeah." "It's not like we won't see each other anymore! Don't worry, I'll come over often to mooch off your meals!" Wendy consoled her instead. "Okay." Larissa grabbed her hand and squeezed her eyes shut. She tried not to think about the jumbled mess in her mind. Aster seemed very
