Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 1002

Larissa had to pick up Gary and Lewis early tomorrow morning.

So, after having dinner, she returned to her room to freshen up and get ready for bed.

As she lay down on the bed, she found herself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.

Kevan had just managed to put Aster to sleep before coming into the room.

He noticed that the lights were still on.

He furrowed his brow and asked. “Why haven’t you fallen asleep yel?”

Larissa led the blanket and sat up abruptly.

“I’m feeling very anxious right now,” she admitted.

Her hair was in disarray.

There was a troubled expression on her lace.

“Anxious about what?” Kevan inquired.

“Well my dad is coming over tomorrow, What if he doesn’t get along with your parents?”

The mere thought of that possibility gave her a headache.

“Uncle Gary is a reasonable person. He won’t easily give anyone a hard time.” Kevan delended Gary.

His word’s brought a smile to Larissa’s fa

“Are you saying he hasn’t been giving you a hard time then?”

Kevan cleared his throat awkwardly, attempting to conceal his discomfort.

“Well there are reasons for that he replied.

“AlrighL” Larissa understood.

Kevan had been effectively “tamed by her father.

Even when Gary wasn’t around, Kevan wouldn’t dare to speak ill of him.

“I think I’ll give Lewis a call to remind him,” she said.

She unplucard the cable attached to her phone, causing the charging to stop.

Kevan stopped her.

“They should already be asleep. Anything you want to say can wait until you pick them up tomorrow morning.”

After some thought, she put her phone back. “You’re right,”

Kevan gently pressed her down, pulling the blanket up to her chin.

“Alright, it’s time to sleep.”

He turned off the main light in the room, leaving only a small night light for illumination.

“We have a lot to do tomorrow, and you didn’t get a chance to rest during the day.”

Larissa stared at him with wide eyes.

Suddenly, a mischievous smile crossed her face.

“Do you want to tell me a story or something to hep me las asleep? Maybe that’ll do the trick”

“Help you fall asleep. Well that can be arranged.

His eyes gradually grew darker.

The next day. Larissa left the house without having breakfast.

Thanks to Kevan, she had gone to bed early the previous night after a titing day.

She woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Gary and Lewis were fully prepared: they were already waiting for her at home.

As soon as Larissa walked in, they both got up from the couch.

Gary halted her as she was about to change her shoes, saying, “Don’t bother changing: let’s leave now.”

“Huh? So early? She was taken by surprise.

“I need to get there early to discuss your wedding plans with Kevan’s parents,” Gary said calmly.

However, for Larissa, it felt like he had just dropped a bombshell

“How did you… know that we’re planning a wedding?”

She began to sweat, as she had never dared to broach the subject with him..

She had given some hints to Lewis.

But she had also cautioned him not to leak anything to Gary, fearing it might lead to opposition or even trigger a seizure. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Did you think you could keep it a secret from me forever?” Gary glared at her impatiently.

Feeling guilty, Larissa lowered her head.

“Well, not exactly…”

Her plan had been to gradually acclimate him to the idea over the course of a few months.

However, she hadn’t expected him to find out so soon.

“Kevan told me a long time ago. Shortly after you returned to the country, he came to Westonia to meet me and asked for my blessing to propose to you.” Gary explained.
