Chapter 306
Sweet Subterfuge
Without warning, Kewan grabbed her chin, squishing her lips.
âHow many times have I told you to stay away from Edmund!â he asked, his voice hoa rse. âDonât you understand?â
His cold glare was intense, Suddenly becoming defiant, Larissa pushed his hand away and glared back at him.
âYou said Edmund would harm me, but he hasnât done anything to me although Iâve been around for so long! On the contrary, when youâre with your beloved, you canât be bothered even when Iâm about to dier Kevan was taken aback for a moment. Soon, he stood up straight, chuckling.
âI forgot how blind youâve always been.â He placed the lunch he brought on the table by the bed and said. âIf you want to get close to Edmund, go ahead. I canât control what you do, nor do I want to.â
With that he lef In the afternoon, the doctor came to inform Larissa that Kevan had completed her discharge procedures and that his assistant would take her home.
Kevenâs assistant arrived an hour later, It was stil the same assistant as last time.
He packed up al 5 Larissaâs belongings but left the bouquet of champagne roses on the bedside table.
âTake these to wel,â she reminded him.
The assistant wore a hesitant expression. âMr. Rogers doesnât like flowers. He specificaly instructed me not to bring them home?
âOh,â Larissa murmured, not insisting on bringing back.
Since her leg was still not fully healed, she still had to rest in bed. The only difference was that lewer people could visit her when she was at home.
Larissa knew that that was Kevanâs true intention. Despite his harsh words, he had secrelly kept her away from Edmund.
Kevanâs mother still visited her daily, finding venous ways to nourish her body with different Soups.
Larissa was gratet, but she didnât dare to be too emotionally invested in her relationship with her as she leared that one day his mother would turn cold toward her, just like Kevanâs grandlacher had.
Edmund called her and asked why she was discharged so soon and why she didnât inform him.
âIâm not obligated to inform you,â she answered.
âLarissa you re so cruel to me.â Edmund whined Alas Larissa was not swayed by his victim act.
âExactly,â she said. âSo, stop bothering me.â
After that. Edmund never called her again.
Larissa thought she could linally have some peace and silence, but Kevan brought Ruby home. Kevan had called in the evening to inform Larissa that he wouldnât be back for dinner and told her to lake care of dinner hersel.
Larissa was preparing Instant noodles for hersed when the door suddenly opened. She was so startled that she almost spiled the boiling water on herself.
âHuh, the TV is still on. Why donât see anyone? Rubyâs puzzled voice echoed in the living room.
Suddenly, Larissaâs hand lost its grip, and she dropped the bowl of noodles on the licor, cursing under her breath As the commotion in the kitchen caught their attention, Ruby rushed in ahead of Kevan. Seeing the spilled noodles all over the floor, she exclaimed in surprise, âWhatâs going on?â Kevan hurriedly rushed in, his lace Med with worry.
âItâs not meâ¦â Standing by the kitchen door, Ruby pointed at the floor in a loss. âIts Lassa. She spilled the noodles âYouâre having instant noodles for dinner?â Kevan asked grullly, his expression instantly darkening.
