Chapter 803
Sweet Subterfuge
Although she tried to appear indifferent, Larissa could detect the sadness in her expression.
âAre you still in contact with each other? Larissa asked.
âYeah, we are. Just Tke how Aster and Mr. Rogers were previously, we spent half an hour video calling each other every night. Itâs pointless.â Leaning back, Wendy looked up and stared at the celling with vacant eyes.
âIf you find it pointless, why not just break up?â Larissa deliberately tried to rile her up.
Wendy gave her the side eye. âWhy should I break up? Keeping in contact with him doesnât stop me hum sleeping with other ment Besides, we might meet again in the futureâ
âWell I havenât seen you sleep with other men either. âLarissa muttered as she bit the tim of her wine glass.
âWhat are you talking about? Do you know how many men are pursuing me right now? If you like. I bring a different man home every night for a monthâstarting tomorrow! Wendy glared at her.
âAlright, I believe you! For the sake of my sonâs mental health, donât bring any mer home! Larissa stopped her in a hurry.
âOh? Larissa, you sounded a little hypocritical just now!â Wendy raised her eyebrows.
âWhatâs the matter?â Larissa was puzzled.
âYou can bring men home. But it would affect your sonâs wellâbeing if I were to do it?â Wendy challenged.
Larissa defended herself instinctively. When did I ever bring a man home? Dont accuse me without reason!â
âWhat about Mr. Rogers? He stayed over for a whole week,â Wendy kicked Larissaâs shin with her loot.
In a low tone, she said, âWhat progress have you two made in this past week?
âWhat progress could we make?â Larissa quiltily brought the glass to her lips to avoid the question.
âI have to say. Itâs annoying when you keep avoid ng the topic. Wendy gulped down the wine in her glass.
She continued. âIf you want to get back together with him, do it soon so that Aster can have a complete family. Tell him clearly if you donât want to reconcile, Stop stringing him along. Itâs pointless to procrastinate.â
âBut Larissa was about to speak when Wendy interrupted her with a wave other hand. âDonât give me excuses! Before I met Mr. Rogers. I was on your side as I think your reservations were valid.
âHowever, now that Iâve spent some time with Mr. Rogers. I can clearly see how he treats you. He has already taken the initiative to narrow the huge gulf between both of you.
âAll you need to do is gather some courage to take a step toward him. Ask yourself. Do you really like him? Will you be sad if you lose him?
your answers are yes. then reconcile with him.â
Larissa pursed her lips and did as Wendy said.
Putting her hand on her chest, she could feel her heart beating rapidly.
She closed her eyes and thought, âDo like Kevan?â
There was no doubt about that.
Six years ago, he had already fallen in love with him.
Would she be sad if she lost him?
Upon imagining a future without him, her heart raced uncontrollably. A lump rose in her throat, causing tears to well up in her eyes.
She was certain that she would be devastated.
