Chapter 186
Before going to Dylanâs house, Larissa took a trip back home to change into some comfortable clothes and took the gift she prepared. She had planned to meet Kevan at the entrance of Dylanâs house, and when she arrived, Kevan was already waiting there. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the wall
As she approached, he straightened his body and lowered his gaze onto the paper bag she was holding onto tightly.
âIs this the gift you prepared?â he asked
Larissa nodded, âYesâ
She glanced at his completely empty hands.
âAre you not joining the gift exchange?
âNo, itâs too boring. Kevan turned away and pressed the doorbell. Larissa pursed her lips at how.
stubborn he was.
Kevan and Larissaâs appearance caused a small uproar in the party. The guests present at the party were all old friends of Dylan. They were very familiar with Kevan and were very well aware of his dating life. To them, Kevanâs girlfriend was akin to a unicorn-non-existent. However, reality
said otherwise.

He turned away to avoid Kevanâs gaze and mustered up the courage to say, âIf Kevan is not drinking, then Larissa has to
Kevan silently took note of the events unfolding tonight and smirked, his tone was cold as he said, âFine, Iâll drink.â
Larissa said with concern. âItâs a strong drinkâ¦â
Kevan gave her a reassuring look. âItâs okay.â
Larissa pursed her lips and added, âDrink less.â
âAlright.â Kevan smiled gently, raised his glass, and took a small sip.

Protests erupted among them one after another, âHey, Kevan! Whatâs the meaning of this?â
âYou coward!â
âYou have to drink it all in one gulp!
Kevan put the glass down, wrapped his arms around Larissaâs waist, and said, âDidnât you hear her
asking me to drink less? Iâd be punished at home if I drank too much.â
