Chapter 290

Yvette’s name and reputation were well-known among the older generation. However, the elders of the Rogers family didn’t seem happy when they heard this, unlike the common public, who would be pleasantly surprised by this revelation.

On the contrary, the expression on Kevan’s parents’ faces darkened considerably. Kevan’s uncles held their hands up to their laces, hiding their smirks and trying to stifle their laughter. His two aunts were less discreet. They simply looked down and chuckled in glee.

Their unusual reactions caught Larissa off guard. She didn’t know what went wrong. Panicking, Larissa clenched her lists tighter.

“What a coincidence!” Cody broke the unbearable silence. Mockingly, he continued with a mischievous smile on his face, saying, “Back

then, Kevan…”

His words were interrupted by Anthony’s low but imposing voice, “Cody, that’s enough!”

Sheepishly. Cody rubbed his nose and decided to shut his mouth, Violet immediately changed the subject “Lari, you’re so thin! You should eat more!” She kept serving Larissa and piled up food on her plate.

Larissa suspected she was trying to stuff her mouth to prevent her from saying anything inappropriate.

Because of this unexpected incident, the meal ended in an awkward silence. No one dared to speak any further.

After the meal everyone returned to the living room.

Larissa sat next to Violet still

The household staff brought out several trays adorned with an array of assorted fruits, each one meticulously arranged to create an

appealing display.

Larissa loved strawberries. Her gaze drifted involuntarily toward the strawberries as soon as one of the stall appeared with them on a tray.

Violet had a keen sense of observation and immediately saw through her thoughts. She beckoned the statt. “Put the strawberries in front

of Lar,”

However, he was intercepted by Kevan. “We should serve guests first. Ruby, have these strawberries.”

Ruby widened her eyes in surprise, seemingly surprised by such a sweet gesture from Kevan.

“There’s no need! She waved her hands repeatedly. “Give them to Larissa! It’s her first time meeting your family. She should be given the

priority.”

Although her words sounded gentle and considerate, Larissa could see the look of satisfaction in her taunting eyes.

Without further argument, Kevan took the fruit tray hom the staff and handed it to Ruby. “Aren’t strawberries your favorite?” Histone was exceptionally soft when he spoke to her,

Ruby couldn’t help but blush, the smile in her eyes evident. Lowering her head, she accepted his kind gesture.

“Thank you,” Ruby whispered.

Staring at their performance with a detached expression, Larissa cussed silently in her heart, “How shameless can these two be?”

Even if her marriage to Kevan was lake, Ruby and Cody’s marriage was real, right?

They were being so intimate as it no one else was present, yet Cody seemed oblivious to the tension between Kevan and his wife.

On the other hand, the elders of the family frowned with disapproval, but not a single person stood up to reprimand them.

Larissa’s worldview was shattered.

Violet stepped forward to ease the situation. “Tina, go wash another plate of strawberries for La

Larissa stopped her. “There’s no need to trouble yourself, eat something else.” As she spoke, she reached out and picked up a slice of

orange.

Ruby didn’t monopolize the tray of strawberries either.

After eating a few she placed the tray on a coffee table to share the fruits with everyone else. However, Larissa didn’t take a single bite of the strawberries.
