Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 870

It was impossible to get the police to let go of Edmund. But in such a situation, Larissa could not directly reject Wendy. She could only pretend. “I can’t decide on this. We’ll have to see how the police deal with this. He did kidnap you after all”

Wendy’s shoulders slumped with disappointment. After a long while, she asked Larissa, “Then can you take me to see him? I have something I want to ask him still.”

Larissa did not want to let Wendy meet Edmund, If the man leaked anything she did not know how to continue this nice lie she had going for now. “I’ll ask. I guess.” She fudged it over. All she needed to tell Wendy later was “no.”

Before they finished breakfast, Kevan came over to knock on the door. He had changed his clothes and he looked perfect.

“Why are you up so early? Larissa was very surprised.

“Jet lag. I couldn’t sleep,” Kevan did not enter the room. He only handed over the paper bag he had to Larissa. “Clean clothes.”

Larissa held the paper bag in her arms and stepped aside to let Kevan in. “Are

e you hungry? We’re having breakfast.”

“Carry on.” Kevan did not accept the offer as Wendy was in the room. “I just go down and eat something. Call me when you want to leave.

“Eh–Mr. Rogers? Wendy stuck her head out to look when she heard his voice. “How come you’re here?” She was very surprised. “When did you come? Want to join us for breakfast?”

Kevan smiled at her. “Got here last night.” He did not say anything else.

*Then hurry down!” Larissa urged him. “Any later and the restaurant will be closed.”

Kevan was not any better than Larissa as he had been up with her all night too. “Okay.” Kevan nodded and reminded her again. “Don’t forget to call me.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Larissa closed the door and went back inside with the paper bag with her.

Wendy asked her through a muffled voice due to her eating a piece of toast. “Has Mr. Rogers finished dealing with his stuff in Caldor? Will he still leave after this?”

“I don’t know,” Larissa took out the clothes from the paper bag. “He didn’t tell me.”

“Then do you know what he’s here for?” Wendy asked again.

“Maybe he misses Aster.” Larissa calmly changed her clothes.

Wendy tsked a few times. “Your man is sure rich and bored!”

Larissa did not respond.

Kevan got a car from who knew where, and he sent Larissa and Wendy home.

Wendy said, “Send me back to my apartment.”

Larissa glared at Wendy and rejected her request at once. “How am I supposed to be okay with you at home alone like this?”

“I’m not a child anymore!” Wendy rolled her eyes. “Besides, I don’t want to be a third wheel, okay?”

Larissa automatically looked at Keyan, who was driving. Her face was a little red, “I don’t care. You will live with us.” Larissa could not relax completely.

Although Edmund had been caught, she could not guarantee that he would not lind other people to larget Wendy again.

“Mr. Rogers–Wendy turned pleadingly to Kevan. But he said calmly, “I will listen to Larissa.”
