Chapter 741
Sweet Subterfuge
Kevan did not hesitate in picking Larissa upâbridal style. He made sure that his am was pinning her skirt in place to preserve modesty.
The hall became abuzz with chatter again.
The guests came over with concern for Larissaâs injury.
15 Ms. Seymour alright?â
âIs she hurt?â
âIs it serious?â
âGet a doctor to take a look at it!â
her Kevan still ignored everyone. He only asked Larissa, âWhereâs your room?â
Larissa bore the pain as well as she could as she pointed to the stairs. âThe second llaor.â
Keven turned and headed to the stairs. However, he had only made it there hallway when someone stopped him, Gary had blocked Kevan with Lewis with him.
âMr. Rogers.â Gary put on a fake smile, signaling Lewis to grab Larissa with his eyes. âWe will take care of Lari. You donât need to trouble yoursell anymore.â
Lewis had just laken one step forward when Kevan moved aside. He avoided Lewis hand.
âIâll send her up.â Unlike before, where he had always been accommodating. Kevan denied Garyâs request this time. Kevan circled around Lewis and walked away.
Gary was angry but he could not blow up in front of the quests. He could only watch as Kevan walked further away, leaving nim behind to soothe the confused guests.
âItâs alright! Please continue, everyone. Letâs not spoil the party!â
Kevan brought Larissa into her room and placed her on the bed. He threw away the pair of luxurious heels studded in diamonds, staring hard at her swollen ankle. His brows were furrowed lightly together.
âIâm sorry.â His voice was hoarse, and he did his best to control the fear he felt. His guilt was written all over his face.
Lanssaâs heart ached, and she somehow pressed her hand to Kevanâs forehead.
Kevan froze before slowly lifting his gaze. He stared at her silently, a conflicting emotion showing in his eyes.
Larissaâs finger rubbed at his forehead until his frown was completely gone, âItâs not your laull. Her voice was very solt, and the tendemess obvious. âDonât be sad!â
Kevan froze for two seconds before his eyes becarne harsh.
Larissa only saw his lips pressed tightly together before she was yanked into his arms. She crashed against his chest. Kevan hugged her tightly and he was trembling for some reason.
âLari. His solt kiss landed on her bare shoulder. His lips were cold, but it made Larissas body burn with heat.
âYou â Larissa found his âpassionâ a little difficult to bear. She was hesitating about pushing him away though her hand was ready pushing against his shoulder. But when she accidentally saw Revanâs eyelashes wel with tears, het hand automatically slid down to wrap around his waist
