Chapter 835
Sweet Subterfuge
âItâs a perfect plan, so I will handle it. You just have to wait for the good news, okay?â
Of course. Larissa believed in Kevanâs ability to pull this off She nodded. âAlright.â
Kevan let out a sigh of relief.
âHowever, until the matter is resolved, Wendy canât suspect anything,â he reminded her.
âThat might be a little difficult.â Larissa felt discouraged. She and Wendy understood each other the most in the world. She could put on an act in front of others, but not Wendy. âShe can easily see through me.â
âWell, thereâs only one solution.â Kevan frowned and thought for a moment.
Larissa waited for him to continue.
Finally, Kevan said, âMove out.â
âWhat?â Larissa thought she had misheard him.
âYou should move out. Since weâve decided to get married, we will have to move in together sooner or later. I bought some properties in Westonia years ago. My initial plan was to show you around for a few days before deciding where to move to, but now the situation is urgent. You should stay temporarily at the nearest one and lay low for now,â Kevan repeated.
Wealthy people in Caldor often bought properties all around the world. It wasnât something out of the ordinary. Even if Kevan bought a whole building and rented it out, it was considered normal for people of his net worth.
However, Larissa wasnât mentally prepared to move in with him.
âWhen shall I move?â she asked.
âToday? Latest by tomorrow. You should take advantage of the free time this weekend to move.
Otherwise, we will have to delay by another week. Our plans might be easily exposed if you were to face Wendy every day for a week.â Kevan did not give her any time to think twice.
Larissa weighed her options and made a decision. âOkay, we will move out tomorrow. I will let Aster know so that he can pack his things in advance.â
âGood.â Kevanâs mood visibly improved when he finally convinced Larissa.
He would let that idiot, Edmund, have his way for a few days. After all, he wouldnât be able to do significant harm anyway.
Regarding the move, Aster was more excited than reluctant Although he didnât want to be apart from his dear godmother, he loved the thought of spending every day with his own dad.
Larissa thought Aster would be difficult to persuade, but she felt a chill on behall of Wendy when Aster agreed so readily.
She exclaimed, âYour godmother raised you from when you were a baby! When you were just born and needed to be carried, it was Godma who comforted you every night when you cried and fussed. In the end, as soon as you found your dad, you became ready to abandon her!â
Aster wrinkled his nose in shame and mumbled in a low voice, âIâm not going to abandon her. We can still visit her often! Besides, I will video call her every night! But since Godma has a boyfriend now, she wouldnât mind if we moved out, right?
âMaybe she even wants us to move out! In that case, her boyfriend wouldnât have to stay in a hotel and can save a lot of money!â
When Larissa heard him mention Wendyâs boyfriend, her composure was affected once again.
Feeling conflicted, she told him, âAlright, Lime to wash up and go to sleep! Get up early tomorrow morning to pack your things. We will move out in the afternoon!â
âMove out? Where are you moving to?â As Larissa finished speaking, Wendyâs voice was heard from the entrance.
