Sweet Subterfuge
Violet looked surprised.
âWait, you havenât remarried Lari yet?
âYouâve been constantly over there, staying for weeks at a time.
âI thought youâd have it all sorted by now.â Her eyes sparkled with leasing, and her lone was playfully mocking.
Kevan cleared his throat, feeling somewhat uneasy. âWell I still need to discuss it with you and Dad.â
âAre you telles you telling me that you wonât remarry Lari il Anthony and I disagree?â she countered.
Her eyes were filled with understanding.
He grew even more uncomfortable and used the act of breaking a piece of bread to avoid her gaze.
His confidence waned a bit.
âItâs not quite like that.â
âSo, when are you planning to rem to remarry her?â She paused and locused on their conversation.
âWeâll wall until the situation in the country improves a bit. I plan to have the wedding here, but I havenât discussed it with Larissa yet.â
âYou havenât talked about it yet?â She sounded anxious. âDonât tell me youâre rushing into this without careful consideration?â
Kevan felt somewhat indignant that his charm was being questioned by his mom..
âMomâ¦â he said in a pleading tone However, she remained steadfast in her cpinion.
âYou better not force anything. Iâm warning you now! Il Larissa doesnât agree to marry you, I wonât give you my blessings eitherf âShe has agreed. Itâs just that we havenât had a chance to discuss the wedding. Kevan explained.
Only then did Violet relax a bit.
âLari is a good girl. I really like her. Honestly, ill were her mom, I definitely wouldnât let her marry you again.â She stared intensely at Kevan, Her blatant attempts to intervene left him momentarily speechless.
âYou might not remember this, but you werenât exactly kind to Lari before.

Violet shut down every word he wanted to say next with a piercing look.
different from Cody. Her tone soured.
âYeah, sure! Of course, you werenât!
âAll you need to know is that you let her down the last time you married her.
âShe forgave you because sheâs a kindâhearted person, Or maybe she genuinely likes you.â
The word âlikeâ struck a nerve with Kevan. He lowered his gaze with a bitter smile.
Larissa didnât actually like him she only agreed to remarry him for Aslerâs sake.
âSo, this time, you better treat her well! If you dare to do anything to hurt her again, Iâll be the first to crush you! Lari wonât even need to do it hersell.â
If it werenât for the lour covering her hands, she might have grabbed him by his ears.
Suddenly, he felt a twinge in his knee.
He grinned and repled, âI know.â
After a while, she said. âHeyâ¦
She hesitated for a moment before continuing. âAre you and Lari planning to have children?â
His heart sank Violet was obviously concerned about that âWe donât have plans yet. Larissa is worried that Aster might not take it wellâ he replied that way intentionally.
However, she seemed relieved upon hearing that.
âOur thoughts are the same. Aster is still young, and youâre not his biological father.
âIf you and Lari decide to have children in the future, Aster would feel bad about it.
âYou two should wait until heâs old enough to understand.â
âWhat if we donât plan to have kids? Wonât you and Dad feel bad instead?â
He rested his hand on the kitchen counter, enjoying the playful banter with Violet.
âWell, we already have Aster! Your dad and I have no reason to be upset.
âAster is such an adorable and sensible child.
âNot to mention he looks quite a bit like you when you were his age! She was remarkably openâ

However, Kevanâs eyes twitched. A momentary feeling of panic washed over him
