Larissa quickly forced a sweet smile and walked towards her, greeting, “Hi Mom Viclet smiled from ear to ear as she held Larissa’s hand and said loudly, “Hey Larissa squeezed onto the couch beside her as Violet stared at her intently. Then, she asked in a caring lone.” Kevan said you’re sick and were at the hospital this moming. Are you feeling better? Larissa nodded and said, “I’m feeling a ct better. Thanks for asking. Mom.”

Violet pretended to glare at her angrily and seld, “What are you talking about? We’re family. Isn’t it normal for me to a ss after you?” Larissa was sturned for a moment, at a loss for words. After all, her own mother had never done any of these “normal” things.

Judging from where she was seated, another lady who should be Cody and Edmund’s mother said.

“Violet, your wish has finaly come true! You wished for a daughter-in-law for so many years, and Kevan finally brought her home today!”

“Isn’t that right!” Violet said joyfully. Her gaze never left Larissa. “Lari, are you hungry? II you are. I ask the kitchen ser vants to serve dinner at once” Larissa felt flattered by Violet’s enthusiasm. She glanced at everyone else, who remained motionless, and batted her hands nervously. ‘No, no, I’m not!”

Anthony, who was sitting on the other side of Violet, said decisively. “Let’s eat. Everyone’s been waiting.” Everyone else got to their feet the moment he stood up. Violet pulled Larissa to the cining hall while introducing the lamily to her non-stop. “This is Kevan’s second uncle, this is his aunty, and this is his third uncle When she reached Ruby, Violet said, ‘This is Cody’s wife, Ruby.” Her expression was normal so Larissa thought she most probably knew nothing about Kewan and Ruby’s history.

Ruby stopped waking when she heard her name and smiled at Violet. She came over to them and held Violet other arm while saying coquettishly, “Larissa and I already met at Grandpa’s house. haven’t we.

Larissa? She winked cheekily, and Larissa smirked, playing along with Ruby. “Yup.”

The dining hall was huge, It was even larger than the living room of a typical house. Perhaps it was more convenient for reunion meals, the dining table was long and rectangular. There were nearly twenty chairs along its sides. The three lamilies heads sat at the head of the table, followed by three other women from the Rogers family, then the kids.

Larissa’s seat was between Kevan and his mother’s, while Ruby’s was coincidentally on the other side of Kevan’s. She saw it clearly when Ruby pulled away the chair beside Kevan the moment he sat down. Her cunning couldn’t escape Larissa’s eyes. However, no one else

seemed to have noticed.

it was Larissa’s first time meeting the family, and she was the new daughter-in-law, so she became the center of everybody’s attention. They bombarded her with questions.

“Where are you from?”

“Where do you live?”

“How old are you?

“What’s your occupation?”

‘What do your parents do?”

Larissa finally got to experience what others meant by petling interrogated.” She answered all their questions patiently but didn’t know what to say when she heard the word ‘parents.” She shot Kevan a pleading look, hoping that he would help her divert the topic of conversation, but he acted as if he didn’t see it. Instead, he helped Ruby get a sice cl pizza.

Larissa gripped the tablecloth and forced herself to look away. She tried her best to keep a smile on her face and said. ‘My parents passed away a long time ago, and I grew up in my aunt’s care. My aunt used to be a very famous actress. Her name is Yvette Xander.”
