Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 900
"Marilyn?" Gary stroked his chin, seemingly considering it seriously. "She's not bad, but it still needs to depend on Lewis whether he likes her or not. He doesn't always listen to me." "Is that why you only meddle in my marriage?" Larissa felt somewhat sour. "What are you talking about?" Gary stared at her with displeasure. "All that I have done is introduce you to some men. When have I ever interfered with your relationships with them?" That was true. "Come to think of it, how are things going between you and Mike? Do you still keep in touch with him?" Gary suddenly asked. "No. We're not a good match," Larissa replied honestly. She couldn't help blaming herself for bringing this topic up. "You barely met him a few times, and you're saying he doesn't suit you?" Gary paused for several seconds. "Don't tell me that you're still thinking about Kevan!"Feeling guilty, Larissa fell into silence. She couldn't bring herself to lie to him, but she couldn't tell him the trut

As it turned out, "mothers know best" was a truth that would never change.Larissa stared at all the scribbles that were drawn as she asked Gary, "This is what you call 'very talented'?"Gary was shockingly still able to praise every little part of Aster's drawing. "Look at this curve here, how perfect! And this little thin line here, and this one …""Sure, then." Larissa crossed her arms as she asked Gary, "Then can you tell me what the hell he just drew?"This definitely made Gary feel lost. He tipped his head to the side as he brought the papers closer and further away from him. He was staring holes into the papers, and yet he still could not tell what was drawn on them.Finally, he tried to guess. "Is that … a very tall chicken?""Noooo! That's not it!" Aster snatched away his "masterpiece" from Gary with annoyance. "This is Ke—van—Ro—gers! It's my daddy!"Gary's expression changed at once, and he did not speak for a long while.Larissa watched her father's speechless face

Gary kept Larissa for dinner before letting her and Aster go home. Aster was already tired when he got into the car, so he slept for the rest of the journey home.When Larissa got to their apartment building, she called Kevan and said, "Your son's fallen asleep, come get him upstairs."Kevan simply picked Aster up without any problems. Although Larissa already knew about the difference in strength between men and women, she was still shocked at Kevan's display of strength."This brat has gotten fat at my dad's place. I get super tired after holding him for a while. If you weren't here today, I'd have no idea how to get him upstairs."Kevan's footsteps were steady and calm. His strong arms did not even tremble. Smiling, Kevan said, "Next time, just let me do this kind of hard work.""Sure!" Larissa agreed happily. After they entered the elevator, she asked, "Has Wendy gone to sleep?""No idea. She ate dinner and went back to her room. She never came out after that.""Oh. How is s

Aster looked like he was happier to see Kevan than he was to see Larissa.Larissa sneered coldly with jealousy. "Oh, so now you're happy, huh? I don't even know who it was who said he 'loved Grandpa the most' at Grandpa's place and that compared to Daddy, he still 'loved Grandpa the most.'"Larissa had intended to put a wedge between Kevan and Aster. Alas, they did not fall into her trap.Aster defended himself. "Grandpa is older! Of course, I need to make him happy!"Kevan patted Aster's head proudly as he praised the kid. "Well done, you did the right thing."Aster was smugger than ever.Larissa was unhappy as she asked, "Then if I asked you to choose right now, do you love me or love your daddy?""I love Mommy!" Aster did not have any trouble answering at all as his response was immediate. "Mommy, you've asked this so many times!" He eyed Larissa with great scorn. He did not bother hiding it."Uh …" Larissa carefully thought about it. She seemed to have asked him this ques

Larissa and Aster took turns comforting Wendy until she stopped crying.Aster even suggested sleeping with Wendy that night to show that he still liked her. This nearly set Wendy off for the second time.After finally dealing with both Wendy and Aster, Larissa returned to her room.Kevan rubbed her shoulders and asked, "They're both asleep?""Yeah. I'll send Aster to school tomorrow. You take Wendy to the hospital," Larissa said. "What's wrong?" Kevan frowned. "Is there something wrong with Wendy's health?""No—" Larissa's voice was filled with helplessness and exhaustion. "To the hospital that Edmund's in. Wendy wants to meet him one more time and finish things with him.""You should stop her." Kevan disagreed with Wendy's actions. To continue tangling oneself with someone like Edmund was just a waste of one's time."I did. It was useless." Larissa was very tired too. "She felt that she had been lied to by Edmund too badly. If she doesn't go meet him, she won't get over this.

Upon seeing Wendy, Edmund's blank eyes brightened up immediately. He forced a pained but ugly smile onto his face. "Wendy! You came!" He was quite happy."Yeah." Wendy was just as professional as Larissa when it came to fake smiling.Edmund did not notice anything amiss. After he asked after her he anxiously moved into the main topic. "You said you wanted to drop the case before …""I went to the police station." Wendy held the hand that Edmund reached out as she forced down the feelings of disgust. "But the police said that I was not the one who made the case, so I can't be the one to drop it." Wendy acted appropriately sad, helpless, and hurt.Edmund froze before he asked, "You didn't find Larissa?""I won't find Larissa ever again!" Wendy gritted her teeth as she said angrily, "She and Kevan made you end up like this. Whenever I think of her name, I get disgusted! I have already decided to stop being friends with her!"Edmund was a little panicked. "But … If you don't find her

"Edmund, what's wrong?" Wendy looked super confused. "Don't you want to clear yourself of all charges?""I …" Edmund gritted his teeth and chose the path with fewer consequences. "I won't be in jail for too long. If you're willing to wait for me … I'll be out in a few years, and we can still be together."Wendy, I don't want you to take that risk. We can't win against Kevan. If you sue him, you will only give him the chance to attack us again."Wendy was silent as she "seriously" considered Edmund's words. Then, she agreed. "Alright, then." She rubbed her own stomach and said lovingly, "Baby, be a good baby, hmm? Let's wait for Daddy to come back together."Edmund's fear was dispelled. "After going back, just make up with Larissa," he advised her. "Once I'm in jail, she will be the only one who can take care of you. I hope you and the baby can be safe and healthy. I will have something to hope for while I'm in jail.""But Larissa and Kevan treated you so badly …" Wendy was still p

Larissa had just arrived at her workplace when she got Lewis' phone call."I'm back in Westonia. Tell all department heads that there's a meeting one hour later.""Why are you back so early?" Larissa found it odd. Lewis went to Egron on Monday morning and had only been there for less than two days."There's been changes." Lewis did not sound good. "I'll talk about it in detail when I'm back.""Oh, okay!" Larissa immediately tensed up and ended the call. She sent the meeting email to every single presidential office employee's email.Lewis arrived at the company exactly an hour later. He probably came over right after getting off the plane. He did not have time to change out of his casual coat, and thus he looked no longer as boring as he usually did. He actually looked pretty good.His long legs allowed him to cover more ground. Hayden was jogging behind him, and she looked a little all over the place.Such a contrast only highlighted Lewis' godly aura.All the female employees

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
