Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 851
Kevan comforted Larissa in amusement before asking, "What happened to her and Edmund?""She broke up with him, and she plans to abort the baby soon." As Larissa spoke, her voice grew quieter. "I feel a little bad."It was probably because of her nightmare yesterday, but Larissa suddenly felt that she was too cruel to force Wendy to abort her child."I keep thinking what if Edmund was not as trashy as we thought, what if he really loved Wendy …"Then everything they did would have been to break up a potential marriage as well as the murder of an innocent life.Kevan firmly interrupted Larissa. "There is no such possibility. Everything you're doing is for Wendy's own good.""But …" Larissa still felt bad."This matter has already ended. Stop thinking about it," Kevan advised her. "Accompany Wendy. Go window shopping, watch a movie, buy whatever you want. Use my card."He had left a card with Larissa. It had unlimited credit and had no PIN either. Larissa had kept it in her purse

Larissa read those documents until 2 am. When she went back to her room, she purposely went to the guest room as she wanted to check on Wendy.Carefully pushing open the door, Larissa saw darkness and no light. The person lying on the bed heard the noise though, and she shouted, "Who is it?"Larissa screamed in fearful shock. After she calmed down, she put a hand to her wildly beating chest and turned on the lights.Wendy sat on the bed, her hair completely messed up. She looked very energetic and not sleepy at all. They stared at each other for a while before Larissa asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's so late.""I should be asking you that." Wendy looked annoyed. "It's already so late, and you still come to other people's rooms secretly. Who are you trying to scare?""I just finished reading the documents Lewis left for me," Larissa said. "I just happened to pass by your room, so I decided to come take a look.""Tsk!" Wendy rolled her eyes at Larissa. "Don't think I don't

"Answer the phone, let's talk about this!""What's going on?""Answer the phone!"…Larissa scrolled upward. It took her at least one minute before she finally reached the message that Wendy sent, "We're finished." The timestamp was 9:06 am.Wendy saw that sentence too."I left the hotel and went home, then I texted him that. Then I ignored him. Tell me how fucking dumb he is? Doesn't he know what he has done? Does he need people to, like, fucking spell it out for him without leaving him any dignity?" Wendy was super pissed as she finally started pouring out the words she wanted to say."We had already agreed to just be friends with benefits. If someone decided to stop, the other would not harass the person who called to stop things. But in the end? Seriously, I'm telling you, Larissa, men are fucking liars!"He was the one who said he liked me. He was the one who said he wanted to be with me. In the end, he couldn't even fucking control himself and sleep with someone else anyw

On Sunday morning, Lewis came over early and gave Wendy two tickets for a big Tinseltown sci-fi movie that had just hit the cinemas."If you're feeling bored, you can take Aster to the movies."This movie was quite popular recently. During weekends, the theaters for that movie were always packed. Wendy had wanted to watch the movie with someone before, but she was unable to get tickets."Fantastic!" She happily agreed and leaned down to hug Aster and give him a kiss. "Come have fun with Godma later! I'll take you to eat the best food there is!"Although Larissa was worried about Wendy's health, she also hoped that her friend could go out and do something to distract herself.While Aster was looking for his bag in his room, Larissa quickly grabbed her son and instructed him to take note of several things."Godma's not feeling very good. Be a good boy when going out with her, walk properly, and don't run. Don't jump on Godma, and watch over her. Don't let her eat random things. She

Lewis was a workaholic. Larissa was the same. They did not put down their work even when lunchtime rolled around. They simply ate instant noodles while they worked.Larissa's phone suddenly rang. When she saw that it was Aster, Larissa panicked and answered the call at once."Mommy—" Aster was crying as he called out to her.Larissa's heart began to pound. She felt more worried than ever. "What's wrong?" Her voice was trembling."Godma's missing!" Aster sobbed as he tried to say everything clearly.Larissa walked out of the study at once. Seeing that something was wrong, Lewis followed too."Don't cry." Larissa comforted him. "Tell Mommy properly what happened."Aster took several deep breaths to calm down."Godma and I were eating, and then she said she wanted to go to the toilet and would come back. She told me to wait for her at my seat."Aster had already texted Larissa about it before they ate. He even snapped a picture of the restaurant."And?" Larissa had no time to

Lewis arrived at the restaurant before someone called the police. After he paid, he picked Aster up and pulled Larissa out of the place.Now that the situation was under control, the people in the restaurant kept looking at them though, and their quiet discussions kept going.Aster's emotions calmed down slowly after they were in the car. His wailing changed into sniffling and hiccuping. He held Larissa's hand and refused to let it go.Lewis did not rush to start the car. He took some tissues and gave them to Larissa to clean herself and Aster up. They had cried so hard that their eyes were red. Their faces were wet with tears and it actually looked kind of scary."Try calling Wendy," Lewis said to Larissa, who dug for her phone while hugging Aster.Wendy's phone remained unanswered like yesterday. But this time, she had her phone with her, so it was impossible for her to not have heard the ringtone."Why don't we call the police?" The ringing in the phone made Larissa's fear com

Larissa did not dare to think how she was going to tell Wendy's parents in Caldor if anything had really happened to Wendy.…After an hour had almost passed, Lewis' phone call came. It was rather late. Larissa quickly answered and asked desperately, "Did you find her?""Not yet," Lewis said.What little hope that had appeared died immediately. Larissa's shoulders slumped and she seemed to have lost her soul. Her voice was also dull. "Oh …""I looked at the surveillance footage in the mall. After Wendy left the restaurant, a man followed her to the toilet. When she came out, the man was with her. They must know each other. I've taken a picture and I'll send it to you now." The moment Lewis said that, Larissa's WhatsApp got a notification.Larissa tapped into Lewis' picture. He had snapped the picture from the surveillance camera screens. There was a male and female couple in the picture. The woman was Wendy, as for the man …Although there was only a blurry side profile, Larissa

Larissa kept trembling. She could not be bothered to think where Edmund had found out that Wendy was pregnant. She dug her nails hard into her flesh, using the pain to force herself to be calm."You …" She gritted her teeth, her throat tight. "What do you want to do exactly?""I want to meet up with you," Edmund said.Larissa gripped her phone very tightly as she asked him, "If I meet with you, will you let go of Wendy?""Of course." Edmund agreed very readily. "But—" His dragging out of the message caused Larissa to hold her breath. "You can only come alone." Edmund's voice became cold. "If I found out that you've called the police, or that someone's following you secretly …"Edmund laughed evilly. "You don't want to know what I'll do to Wendy.""Fine!" Larissa could not be bothered to think. The only thing in her head right now was to save Wendy from Edmund. Even if she had to lose her life for this, she did not care. After all, this happened because of Larissa herself."I'll

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

"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
