Chapter 879

He was almost a head taller than her.

Every time they got close, she found it difficult to converse with hi

“It’s a gynecology clinic! There’s no reason for a man like you to be there!”

Kevan retorted confidently. “Are there no men who accompany their wives to that clinic?

“Are you going there to accompany your wife, then?” Larissa asked.

“Yep.” Kevan nodded with amusement in his eyes.

Larissa blushed under his intense gaze. She pushed him away in embarrassment. “In any case, you are not allowed to go!”

Kevan tried to compromise. “Let me send you to the entrance. I won’t go in, what do you think?”

Seeing as Larissa was going to reject him once more, he added. “You just had an incident. I’m worried about you.”

was evident that he was concemed. Moreover, he had already adopted a lower stance.

If it weren’t for Wendy’s strict instructions to not tell Kevan Larissa would have given in to his persuasion.

“That won’t work either. Walt at home. We will return soon,” she said with firm resolve.

The tense standoff continued for some time.

In terms of being stubborn, Kevan was on par with Larissa. Still he felt that there was no need to insist at this moment.

“Alright” Kevan took a step back and conceded. “Go now so that you can return early. Call me when you get there to let me know you are

She mustered her courage and spoke to Larissa, “Actually, I didn’t go to the doctor’s this morning. My appointment is in the attemoon.”

“Huh? Then why did you go out so early in the morning?” Larissa was puzzled.

She had heard what happened that morning from Kevan.

Although Kevan mentioned that Wendy seemed a little odd, Larissa hadn’t thought much about it. She believed that Wendy just didn’t

want to wake her up.

Now maybe Kevan was right.

Wendy lowered her head and stined her cup of coffee with a leaspoon absent–mindedly.

“I went to the police station just now,” Wendy said in a whisper.

Straining her ears, Larissa had to listen very closely to catch what she said,

“Why did you go to the police station? To drop the case? Larissa remembered what Wendy said at the hotel yesterday morning.
