Chapter 431
Sweet Subterfuge
Her attention was focused on Kevan from the start. Perhaps they may have met here coincidentally, but Dylan definitely brought Kevan here on purpose. She could not yet tell if he was deliberately trying to p iss her cll.
Kevan kept studying her. She seemed very upsel by his presence here and did not seem to want to see him. The beautiful smile on her face vanished the moment she saw them. Even though he already knew of her aversion and dislike of him, he still fell lerr ble whenever she displayed her feelings so clearly.
âHiâ He took the initiative to speak. âWeâve met belore, do you remember?â
Larissa, of course, remembered. How could she not? Grunting her acknowledgment, Larissa nodded lightly, refusing to say anything beyond what was necessary.
Dylan was shocked: âYouâve met? When? Kevan dared to not tell him?! That was too much!
âA few days ago, I guess. Revanâs words were measured, his gaze remaining lived on Larissa. âThis lady seemed to be a litle II, and she collapsed, just happened to pass by and asked alle her a little.â
Dylan only then uncerstood why Kevan suddenly asked him to find a nanny for Larissa to help take care of Aster âWell thatâs quite a coincidence.â Dylan said.
âIndeed.â Kevan smiled. âI just didnât know that this lady was a friend of yours.â
âActually.â Dylan was about to launch into something, but Larissa glared at him, and he smiled sheepishly. âYeah, sheâs been my mend for many years now. Itâs just that she went abroad six years ago and just came back recently.â With that he used his gaze to ask Larissa il she was satisfed with his answer, but Larissa ignored him.
Kevan then asked Dyan according to their plan. âWell? Arenât you going to introduce LS?â
Dylan pretended to do exactly that. âThis is Larissa Seymour, a friend of mine and the general manager of the Winston Hote. This is Kevan Rogers, also a friend of mine. He was involved in a car accident and had just been discharged from the hospital. He is now recuperating at home. Oh, and looked at Aster and ruffled nâs hair affectionately. âThis is Aster. Larissaâs son. Haâs live years old and he is currently attending Creat ve Kids Academy.â 1 Lanssa sad emotionlessly, âYou donât have to be so detailed with your introduction.â
Keven bent down, bracing himself on his knee won his left hand as he reached out to Aster with his right, speaking penty. âHI Aster, Iâm Kevan Rogers, but you can call me Uncle Kevan. Itâs nice to meet you!â
The bright sun shone into his eyes, causing multicolored light to be retracted from them. The smile on his face was equally just as bright. Larissa watched him carefully and thought. âOces he look like that too when heâs with Bethany? Bitterness surged to the forefront of her mind, and she pulled Aster into her embrace before he could shake hands with Kevan.
âItâs late, and we should go home.â she said. Turning to look at her, Asterâs eyes were lilled with concern. He was a sensitive child, so of course he noticed that something was not quite right with her.
But he was not certar Ilthâs was caused by Uncle Dyan or Uncle Kevan who they were only meeting for the first time.
He waved and said. âBye. Uncle Dylan. Bye, Uncle Kevan!!
âWait-âDylan blocked their way. Truth be told, he really hated doing such a rude thing 15 someone else, but he could only put everything he had on the line for his best friend. To celebrate Asterâs recovery, Iâll treat everyone lo a meal
