Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 878

Chapter 878 Of course. Wendy knew that she wasn’t Kevan’s lancée. Still, Kevan’s fiancée. When had Edmund ever kidnapped Larissa before? This unexpected news left Wendy stunned at the spot. “Wait a moment, let me call my friend.” After recovering from the shock, she took out her phone with trembling hands. The officer gestured for her to go ahead. Wendy stumbled out of the office and found a quiet spot in the corridor, Leaning against the wall she dialed Larissa’s number. “Wendy? Are you done with your check-up?” Larissa’s voice was heard at the other end of the call “Not yet.” Wendy’s throat tightened up. She wanted to demand an explanation from Larissa about the situation. Still, Wendy hesitated when she remembered what Edmund had said to her at the hospital. From NôvelDrama.Org.

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe the years of friendship between her and Larissa. She did not doubt Kevan’s character either. Still it was public knowledge that the Rogers family were at odds with each other. Reports on the media back in Caldor were aligned with what Edmund had said. Moreover, she had heard about Kevan’s cruel methods in the business world. He was known to eliminate his rivalls without mercy. Given the current situation, there was no doubt that Larissa would be on his side. Even if she pressed Larissa for an answer, Larissa would only give her the same reply as the police officer had. Seeing as Wendy remained silent, Larissa grew anxious. “What’s wrong? Where are you right now? I come to find your “I’m fine! I’m just a little scared,” Wendy assured her before continuing, “Lari What if I said that I don’t want to abort this child?”

Larissa’s heart sank. Alarm bells were ringing in her head. “Why?” She tried to keep her voice calm as she didn’t want to add any pressure on Wendy. “I’ve been carrying him for so long.” Wendy lowered her head and stared at her feet. She was trying to come up with an excuse that Larissa would accept “Although Edmund is a sc umbag, I can’t bear to part with my baby, Besides, didn’t you also give birth to Aster even when you thought that his father violated you?” Larissa never thought that Wendy would bring this up. Still, Wendy’s reasoning was sound, Larissa couldn’t think of a good rebuttal Although Larissa was reluctant, she relented, “If you really want to have the child, then keep it.” Since Wendy had supported her in the past, she would do the same for Wendy now. She would stand by her and support every decision she made. “I’ll be your child’s godmother and help you raise him.” Even though Wendy had learned everything, she couldn’t blame Larissa, let alone hale her. She liked Edmund, but Larissa had been her best frend for over a decade. They relied on each other and supported each other through the darkest times of their lives. “I want to talk to you. Just the both of us. Come over now and don’t tell Mr. Rogers.” Werdy sent her an address. Kevan had heard Larissa taking the call. To avoid invading her privacy. Kevan kept his distance. When he saw her staring blankly at the emply phone screen, he couldn’t contain his curiosity, “Was it Werdy? Did she go to the doctor?” Larissa was startled when he suddenly came close, almost dropping the phone from her hands. “Yes, she did.” Larissa rested her hand on her chest to calm her racing heart, She didn’t want Kevan to see through her lies. So, she tumed her face in another direction. “Wendy said that s I she was scared and wanted me to accompany her.”

As Larissa spoke, she got up and went to the bedroom, Ineed to get changed.” Kevan followed behind her. “I’ll come with you.” Larissa stepped in her tracks and turned around to glare at him.
