Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 876
Wendy hurried away before Kevan had the chance to awaken Larissa. She ran all the way to the elevator.In fact, she did have an appointment with the doctor for a checkup. Still, that was scheduled in the afternoon. She went out without Larissa's and Kevan's knowledge for another important matter. Having lived and worked in Westonia for almost ten years, Wendy had built up a small network of friends. Although it wasn't extensive, it was sufficient for what she needed. After inquiring from her friends, she found out that Edmund was receiving treatment at the hospital. He was heavily injured after being brought to the police station. She also had someone speak to an officer in charge of this case. Wendy was granted 15 minutes to speak with Edmund as a family member of the patient. Wendy thought that Edmund fought back during the process of being arrested. So, it wasn't surprising that he sustained some injuries. When she saw his body wrapped in bandages from head to toe, it

Wendy was taken aback. "What do you mean?" Edmund looked up and gazed into Wendy's eyes. "There's actually something I have never told you." Wendy's heart almost stopped. She had a hunch that what Edmund was about to say had something to do with Larissa and Kevan. Wendy had overheard their conversation outside the study last night. That was why she had rushed to meet Edmund. She was eager to know the truth and not be the only person kept in the dark. "Kevan is my cousin. Our fathers are brothers." At this moment, Wendy suddenly felt foolish. Edmund and Kevan had the same surname. They also looked a little similar. Still, she never once connected the two together. "Then?" She fidgeted with the hem of her clothes. Edmund put on a sorrowful expression. "After my grandfather died, he left the company to my elder brother. Since then, Kevan held a grudge against both of us. He saw us as a target and oppressed us. "When he found out that we got together, he had s

Of course, Wendy knew that she wasn't Kevan's fiancée.Still, Kevan's fiancée … When had Edmund ever kidnapped Larissa before?This unexpected news left Wendy stunned at the spot. "Wait a moment, let me call my friend." After recovering from the shock, she took out her phone with trembling hands. The officer gestured for her to go ahead. Wendy stumbled out of the office and found a quiet spot in the corridor. Leaning against the wall, she dialed Larissa's number. "Wendy? Are you done with your check-up?" Larissa's voice was heard at the other end of the call. "Not yet. I …" Wendy's throat tightened up. She wanted to demand an explanation from Larissa about the situation. Still, Wendy hesitated when she remembered what Edmund had said to her at the hospital. It wasn't that she didn't believe the years of friendship between her and Larissa. She did not doubt Kevan's character either. Still, it was public knowledge that the Rogers family were at odds with each othe

He was almost a head taller than her. Every time they got close, she found it difficult to converse with him. "It's a gynecology clinic! There's no reason for a man like you to be there!"Kevan retorted confidently, "Are there no men who accompany their wives to that clinic?" "Are you going there to accompany your wife, then?" Larissa asked. "Yep." Kevan nodded with amusement in his eyes. Larissa blushed under his intense gaze. She pushed him away in embarrassment. "In any case, you are not allowed to go!" Kevan tried to compromise. "Let me send you to the entrance. I won't go in, what do you think?" Seeing as Larissa was going to reject him once more, he added, "You just had an incident. I'm worried about you." It was evident that he was concerned. Moreover, he had already adopted a lower stance. If it weren't for Wendy's strict instructions to not tell Kevan, Larissa would have given in to his persuasion. "That won't work either. Wait at home. We will return soon

Wendy anticipated that Larissa would be angry.Alas, she didn't expect her to be so furious. Startled by Larissa's reaction, Wendy spilled half of the coffee in her cup. As the cafe was heated, Wendy was only wearing a thin shirt. The scalding coffee that splashed on her left an unsightly mark on the beige fabric. Wendy took a sharp breath. She set the cup down as tears welled up in her eyes. She dabbed vigorously at the stain with a napkin. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the cafe. The customers were sitting far apart, so no one paid them any attention. Only some of the waiters who walked back and forth glanced at them with puzzled looks. Although she was still angry, Larissa couldn't help feeling sorry for Wendy when she burst into tears. "Why are you crying?" Larissa demanded, but her tone had softened. Tears continued rolling down Wendy's cheeks but she didn't say a word. Feeling drained, Larissa leaned back into the sofa. "You wanted to talk to me, r

"What did you say? Edmund pursued you?" Wendy couldn't believe her ears. Larissa nodded. "Not many people knew about this. I haven't been using that number in a long time, so I can't show you the messages that he sent me. You can choose whether to believe me or not." Wendy remained silent. Larissa couldn't help feeling disappointed. Larissa never thought that her years of friendship with Wendy could be outweighed by a scumbag whom she had known for less than two months. "Edmund didn't fall in love with you at first sight. He got close to you with ulterior motives. "He wanted to use you to blackmail me and Kevan. This was so that he could gain control of Soaring Corporation and secure wealth for his family." Although Larissa's words were true, the truth sounded harsh to Wendy's ears. "How do you know that he couldn't have fallen in love with me? How can you be sure that he truly doesn't love me? Larissa, stop overestimating yourself! "Will you ever stop thinking that the

Larissa picked up the bottles one by one and held them in her arms. "Do you want some?" she asked, looking up at Kevan. Kevan took all the bottles from her arms and left her only with a case of beer. "You can have this," he said."Hey!" Larissa was already in a bad mood. Now that Kevan had ruined her plans of getting drunk, she felt even more irritated. She reached out to snatch the whiskey back from him. Kevan dodged and kept her at arm's length by flicking her forehead. "Listen to me, or I'll take away the beer too," Kevan said sternly. Larissa hid the cans of beer behind her and glared at Kevan. Staring at the whiskey in his arms, she gritted her teeth. "Fine." Larissa sat on the ground with her back against the sofa. She had a can of beer in one hand and a freshly grilled drumstick that Kevan had made in the other. "I feel so miserable." She took a bite of the drumstick, smearing oil on her lips. Frowning, Kevan leaned over and wiped the oil from her mouth. "

"It's too late to wait for him to go to jail!" Larissa slammed the beer can on the ground, splashing alcohol all over her clothes. Kevan felt a headache coming on. On the other hand, Larissa seemed oblivious. Although she was already drunk, she grabbed the can of beer and took another big gulp. "Wendy has been brainwashed by him, don't you know that?"She turned to Kevan and grabbed his collar with her oily fingers. She left five oily marks on Kevan's white shirt. "Wendy's been brainwashed by him! She doesn't believe in me now! She said that I'm a liar and that I disgust her!" Larissa gripped his collar and shook him. Remembering Wendy's hurtful words, Larissa's heart ached. Kevan finally realized the gravity of the situation. Clapping his hands on her shoulders, he forced Larissa to calm down. "What did Edmund tell Wendy?" he asked with a frown. "Can you believe it? Edmund actually turned the story upside down! He told Wendy that I deliberately broke them up!

Wendy said, "You have to walk faster than this, Larissa! It's almost time! Your husband can't wait!""Alright!"

"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.

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
