Sweet Subterfuge
At some point, it began to rain lightly. No one brought umbrellas, so they all hurriedly ran to their cars to hide from the rain. Anthony also pulled Violet away with him, Only Kevan stood there without moving.
âKevan? Anthony tumed back to call him. âArenât you leaving?â
Kevan stared at Bethanyâs name on the gravestone as he said softly. âI want t to stay for a tile while longer.â
Anthony knew that Kevan was feeling bad, so he did rot try to change his mind. He only said, âDonât stay out for too long. The weather is not good today. The rain will only be heavier scon.â
After everyone had lell Kevan only stepped forward and crouched before Bethanyâs grave. He reached out to touch Bethanyâs beautifully carved name in the stone as he said quitily. âIâm sorry, Bethany.
âI donât hope that youâll forgive me, but you must be happy while youâre up there. Il thereâs a next life, remember to go to a normal family and lind parents whoâll really love you. Goodbye.â
He hoped they would never see each other again.
When Kevan col back to the car, he was already soaked.
Anthony asked him with concern, âDo you want to find a hotel close by to shower?â
âNo need.â Kevan refused his fatherâs good intentions. âLetâs just go home. I miss Lari and Aster already.â
Alright. Although Anthony was worried about Kevanâs body, he was used to letting Kevan make all the decisions. âWeâl serd you home first After leaving the cemetery, Violetâs emotions gradually camed down. Sniffing, she asked Kevan, âWill Lari still be leaving this time after coming back?
Kevan shook his head. âNo.â
âThen your marriage â Violet was a little anxious. âYou were worried about Cody then, but Co saying that word out loud. âWhen do you plan on making Lan and Aster a real part of the family?â
Codyâs now She paused and avoided âSoon,â Kevan said. Marrying Larissa was an easy thing. But getting her familyâs blessing was going to be very difficult. Since he wanted to give Larissa a grand wedding, he could not leave the seats for the brideâs family to be empty.
âI must fly to Westonia in two days.â
âWhat for?â Violet did not understand, âLari and Aster are both in Bartham. Who else do you need to see?
âLariâs father and her cousin,â
Those two were the most important men in Larissaâs life, and they were the biggest obstacles Kevan had faced in his life.
The moment he thought of the disappointment that he may face, Kevan could not help but sigh to himself silently.
âIsnât Lanâs father. Xavier Seymour of Cosmic Studios? Isnât he already in jail? Also, since when did Lari have a cousin?â Violet was very surprised.
Kevan had never spoken of Larissaâs parentage to his parents. Now, he only described it simply to let them understand Gary and Lewis relationship with Larissa.
*Then you do have to fly over.â Violet held such traditional eliquelle very seriously. âBut since you want to propose Wouldnât it be better il your dad and I followed you over?â She really liked Larissa and she always thought of Laissa as her own child Violet did not wish for Larissaâs family to think that they were not valued by the Rogers family, and she delinitely did not want this to be an obstacle that would prevent Kevan and Larissaâs marriage from happening.
âNo need.â Kevan did not dare to let his parents lollow him. He was scared that Gary would chase him and his parents cul together. He Simply made up an excuse and said. âThe fight to Westonia from Bartham is too long. You two wonât be able to handle it. I go by myself.â
