Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 911

“I’m fucking blind as usuall” Wendy snapped angrily. “I shouldn’t have shown you guys any pollen

Aster stuck out his tongue and made an ugly lace at her.

Larissa pouted and gave up fighting with Wendy.

During dinner, Kevan get a call Although he hid in the study, Larissa still saw the name on the screen-“Dad.”

Kevan came back only after more than ten minutes. Wendy and Aster had already linished ealing and had gone to the home theater to play games. Larissa was the only one waiting for him at the dining table.

Seeing that Kevan’s expression was darker than before, Larissa asked him with concern. “Did something happen at home?”

“It’s not a big deal. Kevan picked up his fork and soon again. “It’s my Aunt Maria–Edmurd’s mom. She went to my place to cause trouble today. She said that Edmund hasn’t come back from Westonia after so long because I’ve locked him up.”

When Kewan said that, a mocking smile appeared on his face. “She understands her son quite well, but she just doesn’t get me.”

“What die your parents say?” Larissa asked.

“My dad doesn’t know anything. He just listened to her shout for a while before chasing her out of the house.” Kevan’s voice was calm. It was like this was not a big issue that he should be worried about.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Your dad didn’t ask if you had really locked Edmund up?”

“He did.”

“What did you say?”

“The truth.”

“What? Larissa was shocked. S

complained, “How could you tell the truth? Wouldn’t your parents not have the confidence to chase her

away the next time your Aunt Maria goes to cause trouble at your parents“?”

“Ignorance was bliss.” With how Kevan’s parents dealt with things, they would definitely put up with things if they were realy in the wrong. And from that they would let people push their luck with them.

“Number one, it’s Edmund’s fault, not mine. Number two, the one who locked him up was the police, and not me. So, why shouldn’t my parents take the blame? Kevan said righteously. “I already told my dad to not let in all those stupid people. It’s bad for the house, and my parents would feel bad too.”

“Aren’t you worried that your Aunt Maria would make things worse?” Larissa had met the Rogers at Old Mr. Rogers funeral, Although she had not interacted with them, Kevan’s aunts and uncles did not look like people who were easy to deal with just based on their

appearance alone.

Moreover, Kevan’s Aunt Maria had raised sons like Cody and Edmund

“Let her.” Kevan did not care, “It’s not like the one getting shamed would be me if things got worse.”

“But your parents –

“My parents aren’t as weak as you think. They’re not saints.” Kevan knew his parents well. They were just kind, but not weak. They would not let those idiots bully them and not light back.

“My dad told me to stay in Aldovia for now to prevent Aunt Maria from trying anything with me. I’ll call Dylan later and let him lake over the

more important work.”

Kevan’s trip here was a complete accident anyway, and he had not planned to stay for long. But with his aunt causing trouble, it gave him a proper reason to stay in Aldola, and he could “force” Dylan to work harder for him too.

Alter so many years, Kevan was always in charge of everything about Microworks. I was time that Dylan stepped up and took on some responsibilities too.

At this moment, far on the other side of the globe, Dylan sneezed very loudly.
