Chapter 349
Sweet Subterfuge
Kevan snorted coldly before walking to his study. Closing the door, he made a call. âBuy a Ragdoll kitten and deliver it to Ruby. It must be done today.â
âDoesnât matter what it looks like. The more expensive, the better.â
âAlso, keep a sharper eye on Cody.â
Ruby video called again after dinner.
Kevan still answered the call in the living room, in full view of Larissa. He still did not wear any audio equipment so Larissa could not even pretend that she could not hear Rubyâs voice, which came through clearly through the phoneâs speakers.
âKevan! The kittyâs here!â Ruby was hugging a Ragdoll kitten that was about the size of Mu fin, and she lifted one of its paws to greet Kevan.
Kevan smiled and asked her. âDo you like it?â
âUmââRuby was a little hesitant Kevanâs smile faded a bit. âWhatâs wrong? You donât like it?â
âI do, but Ruby paused. âI feel that this kitty isnât as cute as yours, you know? Besides, it also looks dumb and slow âThen Iâll have someone buy you another one.â Kevan did not hesitate.
âNo! Itâs okay!â Ruby waved her hand to refuse. âRagdolls are really expensive, donât waste your money! Having one kitty is enough, Iâm afraid I canât take care of so many if there are more.â
âYou really donât want another? Kevan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ruby said. âReally! But could you bring your kitty over and let me see it? I really, really like how it looks!â
Hearing this, Kevan immediately turned his gaze to Larissa.
M uffin was currently lying on Larissaâs lap, licking the fur on her back, and she had not sensed the impending danger.
Larissa really did not want to hand M uffin over, but Kevanâs aura was too strong, and she did not dare to cause trouble. Kevan picked M uffin up by her scruff and raised it next to his face.
Ruby stared at it fixedly and asked Kevan, âWhatâs its name?â
Kevan replied, âM uffin.â
âThatâs so cute! Larissa named it didnât she?â
âMm.â Kevan nodded.
Ruby called the kitten through the phone. âM uffin, baby!â
Muttin looked over curiously, her pretty eyes wide and alluring.
âAwwww.her eyes are so pretty!â Ruby continued to lament. âItâs so much prettier than mine! That shade of blue is soo pure!â
She gazed at M uffin in mesmerization, the love in her eyes overllowing.
âSince you like it so much, letâs switch,â Kevan made his decision quickly.
Ruby and Larissa froze Ruby had the same reaction as before. âThatâs not really okay, is it? Larissa will definitely be upset âTheyâre both Ragdolls, whatâs the difference? Kevan eyed Larissa coldly but looked away quickly when he saw the disappointment and despondency on her lace. actually gets the better dealâ
Larissa was long since used to Kevanâs double standards when facing Ruby as well as being treated like dirt. But she really could not bear to part with Mullin. Even if she got another replacement that looked exactly like her, she was not willing to trade.
âTheyâre both Ragdolls. Whatâs the difference even if Ruby switches with me? She did not care that Ruby was still on the line, and snapped back. âWhy should my kitten be given to her simply because she likes her? She likes you too, you know, Why donât you divorce me and marry her instead then?â
