Chapter 745
Sweet Subterfuge
Larissa forced herself to nod despite the pain. Much better.â
âGood, then.â Mikeâs voice was distant. It was even more distant than when they were talking earlier downstairs. âI know a skilled orthopedic doctor, Il you need it, I can help you contact him.â
âNo need!â Gary rejected him. Because Mike had delended Kevan earlier, Gary did not like Mike anymore. He was not nice to him. âDo you think our family doctor canât handle an injury like this?â
Mike admitted his mistakes. I was presumptuous. My apologies.â
To prevent Gary and Mike from fighting, Larissa shol a look at Lewis.
Lewis got the hint and said to Mike. âMike, before I came up, Mr. Brock of SouthSea Corporation seemed to be looking for you. I donât know why, but why donât you go see whatâs up?â
Mike knew what was up too. âOkay.â He agreed to it and put on an apologetic look on his face. Tll be heading downstairs then.â
Gary did not reply, his face cold. He only spoke alter Mike was gone, saying, âis Mr. Brock of Southsea Corp more important than Lan? He truly canât prioritize things!
âThatâs enough, Dad, Larissa said. She decided to ust tear this facade apart. âWe all know what youâre trying to do, okay? Iâm telling you, donât do this nor sense. If you try to matchmake me again, donât blame me for being mad at you.â
Due to her previous experiences, Larissa hated being matchmade. Even if she knew that Gary was not the same as the Seymours, and that he meant we.. she did not like it.
They were not reasons for him to ignore her wishes and plan her life for her Larissaâs attitude was firm. That made Gary feel a little Intimidated, but he did not want to just give up like that.
âYou didnât like Mike. But what if you like the next person I introduce to you? He tried to convince Larissa. âI wasnât thinking about getting you to accept either. I just hope that youâll interact with more men. Otherwise, that stupid Rogers will be buzzing around you like an annoying fly. I hate it.â
Larissa did not know that Kevan was the cause of all this. Thinking of his sad silhouette when he left, Larissa blurted. âWhat if I like Kevan?â
The two men froze before her voice faded out.
Lewis collected himself first. He used the excuse of massaging Larissaâs ankle to sneak a look at Gary to observe his reaction After all, he had asked a similar question half an hour ago. As for Garyâs answer âIf you really like him. I will accept IL of course.â Gary smiled. He even reached out to rufile Larissaâs hair. âBut I hope that you can think this through. This is about your future, after alâ
Lewis looked away to hide the disgust and scam in his eyes. One would think Garyâs gentleness and understanding were real!
Gary was already half dead from his rage. Still he had to maintain his âkind fatherâ mass in front of Larissa Afraid that Larissa would say something that would cause him to have a seizure, Gary made a quick getaway to entertain the guests.
The bedroom door closed.
This time, Lewis did not expose the reason why Gary ary was angry, because he was more curious about something else.
âYou said you like Mr. Rogers. Is that true?â
