Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 945

Larissa’s body st Hened. She hadn’t expected to receive such a passionate and direct confession from Kevan.

Conflicting emotions surged within her. Larissa couldn’t think of how to respond at that moment.

She opened her mouth, but the next thing that came out of her mouth was an embarrassing question, “But what about you and Ruby?”

It was rumored that Kevan loved Ruby, regardless of his marriage to her later for whatever reasons.

“It’s a long story. In short, I pretended to like her to make Cody believe he had a hold on me.” Kevan didn’t avoid the question.

Cody was too naive. His simple mind couldn’t match up to his grand ambitions.

He thought that he finally had a hold on Kevan by taking advantage of his weakness for Ruby.

From the beginning to the end, he was focused on taking Kevan down by using Ruby against him.

Cody had never considered anything else.

“That time when we were at Starville Hotel you called out for her when you had a high fever

Larissa couldn’t let go of that memory.

“I was calling out for you.” Kevan replied helplessly. In his dreams, there was no other woman but her,

“How about Bethany? Larissa insisted.

“I never slept with Ruby, Bethany is Ruby’s and Cody’s daughter. If you don’t believe me, I have a paternity test report at home that I can show you.” Kevan said confidently.

Larissa knew him well enough to know that what he said was the truth.

“Alright.” On the surface, she made it seem as if she believed him reluctantly. Deep down, she felt a sense of relief and even a hint of joy. He had given her perfect explanations for everything she was worried about. The barriers between them were also gradually broken down

by his tender words.

Larissa thought that she should also be honest in return for his vulnerability. Taking a deep breath, she said. “I have something I want to

tell you too.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Her heart was racing in her chest, thumping loudly like a drum.

Kevan felt slightly anxious when he saw her serious expression. His mind was filled with numerous guesses about what she might say next. None of them were what he wanted to hear.

“1” He wanted to interrupt her, but it was too late.

Larissa mustered up her courage and blurted out everything. “It’s not true that I don’t like you. Actually, I’ve liked you for a long time, even before I went to Aldovia, I was just too proud to admit it.

“I was afraid that you would mock me, that’s why I kept it to mysell. Besides, there were the rumors between you and Ruby. I thought the person you liked was her, so

Her voice became softer and trailed off into the air.

This time, it was Kewan’s turn to be stunned.

He had a look of sheer disbelief on his face and his eyes widened in shock. It was somehow quite comical to watch,

After a minute, his eyes turned red and welled up with tears.

Larissa confessed that she liked him. This was a scene he had dreamed of countless times, but he never dared to imagine happening in

real life.

The shock he was experiencing at this moment was on the level of a nuclear bombs dropping on Earth.

“Lari —” he whispered her name, his low voice trembling inexplicably. He sounded like he was close to tears, making Larissa’s heart ache Lembly.

Kevan blinked, and the tears in his eyes spilled out

Larissa could clearly see the glistening tears that rolled down his cheeks and dripped on her neck. It was simultaneously icy cold and scorching hot.
