Chapter 787
Sweet Subterfuge
Larissa could sense the way Kevan treated her differently, But she was not sure if the dillerence in treatment was because of her or because of Aster, After all, he knew from the beginning that Aster was his son, Maybe his actions of pleasing her were all because of giving Aster a complete family.
But that picture-
Larissa rolled out of bed and quickly stormed out of the door. She scared the two people watching a cartoon on the couch. They tumed around to stare at her, âMommy, have you finished eating?â Aster asked first.
âNot yet.â Larissa forced a smile out with great difficulty. âIâm looking for your daddy.â As she spoke, she looked at Kevar. âCome to the study with me.â
Kevan gave the the remote control to Aster. As he stood up, he put his hand on the kidâs head. âWatch by yourself, then shower and go to sleep when itâs time. Do you understand?â
Aster nodded. âGet it! He smiled styly like a fox. His eyes were sparkling. âDonât mind me. Chat for as long as you want!â
Larissa glared at him, and Aster sat up straight and pretended to watch the television.
Kevan followed Larissa into the study. Afraid that Aster would listen to them in secret, Larissa closed the door. She even locked it.
Kevan raised an eyebrow at her actions. When she turned around, he pretended to go back a few steps. He let out a terrified expression that only made him look dumb. âWhat are you going to do to me?â
Larissa was just about to demand answers from him when he said that. So, she ended up sputtering instead.
Scon, Kevan spread his arms, looking like someone who was going to die. âCome at me then.â
To his le performance, Larissa only snapped, âCrama queen!â
Kevan smiled lightly and returned to being normal, He stuck his hands in his pockets as he leaned against the edge of the study table. He asked, âDid you bring me here because you ligured it out?â
Larissa pressed her lips together. âItâs not that A sturned expression flashed through Kevanâs eyes. He stopped smiling as he stood up straight suddenly. âThen what is it? His tone became cold very quickly.
Larissa walked over to open Kevanâs laptop in front of him. Kevan froze for a bit before reaching out to stop her. But he was still too late.
The laptop screen brightened up at once, and a young Larissa appeared before their eyes.
âWhat is this?â Larissa stared at Kevan as she asked super seriously.
Kevan timidly pulled his hand back and pretended to be stupid. âCanât you tell? Itâs a picture of you.â
âOf course, I know itâs my picture.â Larissa pressed her hands against the table as she struggled to look up at him. âIâm asking you where. The Fuck, Cid. You, Get. This. Picture. From?
The second hall of Larissaâs words were bit out in chunksâ¦
Kevan did not reply.
Larissa pressed further. âYou met me when I was in high school? To Larissa, this possibility was very low. Alter all she did not remember him at that time at all.
His face should be memorable enough for people wherever he wentâthis of course included her.
Kevan still remained silent.
âAre you also from Keystone High School?â she asked carefully.
Harthamâs Keystone High School was one of the most important high schools in the city. There were many outstanding alumni who were from that school But a rich Bartham kid like Kevan would normally study in a private school or be sent abroad like Lara.
As expected. Kevan gave a negative answer. âNoâ
