Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 762

Kevan’s fingertips had calluses on them, probably from long–term typing. When they brushed over Larissa’s skin, electricity raced through her body from that point of contact.

Larissa’s face was so red, and she could not help but move a bi

bil.

Kevan though I that he wanted to pull her leg away, so he quickly grabbed her ankle. “Don’t move.” He lowered his voice. “The medicine is not absorbed into your skin yet. I rub onto the sheels.”

Lanssa stilled at once. She was very stiff as she replied quictly. “Okay.” Then, she looked down and unknowingly picked at the sheets. causing deep wrinkles in the cloth.

Kevan gazed at the top of her head as he controlled his urge to touch it. He changed to a lighter topic. “How was your first day at Blue Star? Okay?

“Yeah, it wasn’t bad.” Larissa’s fingers moved from the bed to her back. She rubbed at the place that ached. “It’s just that I sat for the whole day, and didn’t feel so good.

She used to work in a hotel, so she rarely sat down for the whole day. As a result, she did not get a cushion like her other colleagues. Without support for so long, her back ached so much it could not even stay straight.

“Want me to massage for you?” Kevan asked as he drew out a sheet of tissue to cken his hand.

“No neec, no Lanssa quickly waved her hand. ‘It’ll be line after I’ve slept.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Her waist was the most sensitive part of her body, Kevan had only touched her ankle and it made her heart go crazy. If he touched her waist–Larissa was worried that she could not handle il.

Thankfully, Kevan did not push it

“Sleep early, then.” He reluctantly moved her leg onto the bed. “If your waist still hurts tomorrow, I’ll massage it for you.”

“Okay.” Larissa agreed quickly, but she was thinking that no matter how uncomfortable she was tomorrow, she would never say a thing!

The next day, the morning seemed to repeat from yesterday–except that Wendy was not there.

Before leaving the house, Larissa ignored the persuasion from both Kevan and Aster, insisting on changing out of her ankle–length down jacket to the latest Burberry windbreaker. It was matched with a thin white shirt that would not keep her warm as well as a pair of wide- legged trousers. Such a mature and elegant ollice lady look naturally could not be ruined by the furry Ugg loafers.

The swell on her ankle was almost gone from the combined efforts of Kevan and Lewis during these two days. Larissa boldly changed into a pair of thin high heels. Under the unhappy stares of Kevan and Aster, Larissa threw back a ‘It’s none of your business,” before rushina out of the house with her bag.

Aster stared helplessly at Larissa’s retreating figure. He turned to Kevan for help aller a moment. “Daddy, say something to Mommy! How can she be like that?”

Kevan pressed his lips together, but his face did not show much emotion. “Your mommy’s an adult. She can take responsibility for her own actions,” he said.

The truth is, Larissa regretted it after walking two steps out. Although the swell was none, the pain remained. But she had already thrown out the harsh words, so she could only force hersell to bear it in

front of those two QUYS.

Kewan held Aster’s hand while also carrying his little schoolbag in his other hand, He stood silently behind Larissa and wasted for the elevator with her.

Aster was still grumbling. “Mommy’s too naughty! Your leg’s not okay yet! How can you wear heels? What if you twist it again”

Larissa tumed to glare at him. “Don’t Jinx me!”

Westonia’s land was very expensive. The apartment parking lot was built under the building. The moment they exited the elevator, the wind blew by. Larissa was so cold that she shivered, her arms automatically hugging her body.
