Chapter 332

Kevan reacted very quickly. Almost at the moment she closed her eyes, his hand came up and blocked off her lips. When Ruby’s lips pressed against his cold palm, the rough skin of his palm caused her to open her eyes with panic.

She stared at his hand for quite a bit stunned before looking up into his deep, dark eyes.

“… Why?” she asked with frustration “I’m a clean freak” Kevan showed an expression of apology as he explained, “You know that I can’t be overly intimate with someone else.” Kevan’s crazy clean freakishness was well–known by others. Even with her, he could just barely manage to hold hands and hug.

Ruby thought that alter so many years, his germaphobia would have gotten better. She certainly did not expect it to remain unchanged. “Then you and Larissa. She really minded this. Even though she knew Kevan had no feelings for Larissa, they were still a legally married couple. Married couples would definitely do those things.

“Larissa and I never did anything.” Kevan soothed her. “We sleep separately as well” This was actually the truth.

“You’d better not lie to me.” Ruby pouted, her linger gently poking his chest.

“How could I lie to you?” Kevan smiled, but it did not reach his eyes.

Kevan did not come home for the whole night, but Larissa was not the least bit surprised. The mango mousse cake that she baked yesterday afternoon remained untouched in the ridge. In the end, it became her breakfast Larissa had not finished her slice when the door opened. She found it odd.

This time was too late for Kevan, who had stayed out all night and it was too early for Violet, who would come by to deliver lunch to her.

Larissa put down the fork and wheeled herself to the living room, finding Violet who was taking her coat off.

“Mom, how come you’re so early today?” she asked in confusion.

“Ah…” Violet’s smile was a little stift. “I bought some snacks for Muffin and wanted to come over earlier to see her.”

Larissa did not suspect anything else and happily summoned Mutin over. “Muffin You’re going to have delicious lood today!

Violet took out the cat snacks from the bag she brought and gave them to Larissa. “Go ahead and leed her. I need to go to the toilet.”

“Okay.” Larissa picked Muffin up and placed her in her lap, ripping open a packet of dried fish flakes before feeding the kitten while playing with it at the same time.

Violet took the opportunity to slip into Kevan’s study while Larissa was not paying attention to her and unplugged the Internet cable before returning to the living room as II nothing had happened.

Both mother and daughter–in–law played with the kitten for a while. Araid that Violet would get bored, Larissa turned on the TV or her. But the TV only displayed the “No signal” message.

“Huh —7 Larissa was clueless when it came to repairing electronic devices. She kept pressing the remote for a while, but it did not change the “No signal situation.

“Did something happen to the Internet?” she muttered to herself Violet was on guard at once. “I don’t know,” she said. “If there’s no signal, it’s line Il we don’t watch! It’s not like we have to watch TV!”

Although this was fine. Larissa could not help but mind it a bit. She went to her room to retrieve her phone, the settings showed that it was connected just line to the Wi–Fi at home, but when she tried opening any applications, none of them loaded.

“Looks like the Internet really broke down.” Larissa was now certain. “But I don’t know where the modem and the router are in the house.

After all, this house was not hers, not to mention that such issues had never happened before. So, even II she had the thought to fix things, she did not know where to start.
