Chapter 505

While handing out gifts for the guests, Violet intentionally gave Kevan two more gifts to be given to Larissa and Dylan, “These are for Larissa and Dylan. Since they didn’t come to the banquet, take these back for them,”

she said.

The gifts were just tokens of appreciation for guests, and thus were not of much monetary value.

If it were just for Oylan, Kevan would definitely have returned the gifts to Violet.

However, this was another opportunity to meet Larissa.

Kevan accepted the gifts and replied, “Alright.”

After her moming meeting. Larissa went to the hospital Gary was reclining on the bed with his laptop on a foldable table.

Frowning, he seemed immersed in his work, not even noticing Larissa’s entrance.

“Mr. Logan,” Larissa called out, Gary looked up, startled.

The next moment his lace broke out into a wide smile.

“Oh, you’re here. Have a seat!” Closing his laptop, he pointed to a chair at his bedside.

His enthusiasm exceeded Larissa’s expectations.

She wasn’t sure if she was reading too much into it, but there seemed to be a sense of inexplicable fondness in Gary’s eyes whenever he looked at her.

Although he had always been kind to her, this was the first time she felt an emotion like this from another person.

Feeling ill at ease, Larissa avoided his gaze and placed the fruit basket she brought on the bedside table.

“Would you like some fruit?

Gary shook his head. “No, thank you.”

“Oh, alright then.” Larissa replied, sitting down on the chair.

Gary’s gare followed Larissa’s movements, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

“Are you busy with work today?” he asked.

“Not really.” Larissa lied–she was never not busy with work.

Gary continued. “Lewis mentioned that he went to Old Mr. Rogers’s house yesterday and ran into you.”

His smile faded slightly as he fixed an intense stare on Larissa’s lace.

The reason Gary came to Bartham was to discuss their partnership with Soaring Corporation, Now that the authority figure of Soaring Corporation had passed away, it was only appropriate that he offer his condolences.

Unfortunately, Gary’s deteriorating health did not allow him to leave the hospital, so Lewis went to pay respects on his behall, Who knew that Lewis would have encountered an unexpected acquaintance there?

Larissa knew who Lewis was.

“Really? How come I didn’t see him there?” she said in surprise.

There weren’t many people present in the main hall, if Larissa had seen Lewis, she would have recognized him.

“When he arrived, the funeral service was in a mess–probably because someone caused a scene at that time. It’s reasonable that you didn’t notice him,” Gary explained.

After Yvette and the Seymour family appeared all of her attention was focused on them.

“I heard from Lewis that the person who caused trouble yesterday was a popular actress long ago. I’m not mistaken, her name starts with a Y.” Gary pretended to not remember Yvette’s name.

His eyes were glued to Larissa’s face so that he could scrutinize her reaction discreetly.

As expected, Larissa’s expression froze and the smile on her face stiffened.

“Yes, her name’s Yvette, Lowering her head, Larissa mumbled in a soft voice.

Gary continued, “Are you related to Yvette? Your name was mentioned when they caused the commotion yesterday.”

Perhaps feeling that his probing question sounded inappropriate, he added. ‘Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to pry into your private life. However, Lewis told me that they showed you attitude, and it seems like they treated you poorly. If you face any trouble, come to me and I will help you resolve h.”

Gary’s concern didn’t seem out of place, so Larissa wasn’t suspicious at all.

To ease his mind, she said. “Yvette is my aunt and she raised me. There’s no conflict between us, so she won’t cause any trouble for me.”
