Chapter 339
Sweet Subterfuge
Larissa could tell that he was doing it on purpose, so she returned a similar smile of provocation before saying loudly. âNope! The kittenâs mine. It has nothing to do with you. If you dare give it to someone else behind my back, I will call your mother at once?
On Kevanâs phone screen, Rubyâs smile froze, though whether or not it was due to Larissaâs words or due to the Internetâs lag, one could not tell, Kevan did not keep her threat in mind though.
âGo on,â he said. âCall her. Donât think that be afraid of you just because you threatened me with my mom.â
Biting her Sp. Larissa used the final trump card that she had. âI will even tell her that you contacted Ruby again!â
Kevanâs face darkened at once. âYouâd dare?!â he snarled through his teeth, his rage seemingly suffused in these two words alone.
âJust watch me!â Larissa straightened up and did her best to stand up against his domineering aura.
âYou canât have forgotten what you promised your mother today, can you? Do you need me to remind you?â
Kevan pressed his lips tightly together and said nothing for quite a while. In the end, it was Ruby who persuaded him. âNever mind, Kevan, I donât want that cat anymore. Let Larissa have it Kevan glared at Larissa coldly, a sneer on his face as he praised her strangely, âWell done, Larissa.
You did very well. I hope that you can continue to do as well as you did today.â
Larissa smiled back. âI will.â
This was not the first time they had ended things badly, Larissa was not worried about what Kevan would do to her, but she was worried that he might do something to Mu ffin-like giving her away when she was not looking.
So whenever Kevan was at home, she would guard Mullin at all times, afraid that something might happen to her. But she did not expect her âaccidentâ to come sooner than Mu ffinâs. Although she called it an âaccidentâ, it really could not be considered one.
The next morning the doorbell rang.
Larissa found it odd because the only people who would come here were Kevan or Violet. And neither of them would ring the doorbel She had never bought anything online either.
Larissa connected the calling device, and a surprising face appeared on the screen. It was Lucas!
Lucas said. âHello? Is that Larissa?â
Recalling the things that happened during Christopherâs party, Larissa only felt down. She did not want to meet anyone who had relations with Lana. So, she disconnected the device without saying anything.
But Lucas persisted in calling though. The doorbell was too loud. Even when she had hidden hersell in her room, she could still hear the monotonous melody ringing again and again.
Unable to bear the disturbance any longer, she finally connected the device again. âDo you need something?â she asked in annoyance.
Lucas was very polite. âI am deeply sorry for what happened last time. So, I specially came to apologize to you in person.â
âNo need,â Larissa said. âConsider yourself forgiven, I guess.â
âThat wonât do.â Lucas said righteously. âIf I donât apologize to you properly, will feel bad. Besides. His voice became smaller. âTd Uke to apologize to Mr. Rogers too He seems to have quite an impression of me now because he refuses to see me even when I went to Microworks to find him ââ
Larissa thought to herself, âI guess thatâs the real reason why he came,
