Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 

Kevan had been accustomed to the filthiness of humanity since he was very young

He’d never trusted anyonenot even his own parents

The education he’d received told him that there were only two kinds of people in this worldthose who were 

useful to him, and those who weren’t

He’d never had deep interactions with people either, let alone go on to develop feelings for them

Joy, sorrow, anger, despairall those emotions were nothing but distractionsluxuries he couldn’t afford

A man like him. He supposed he was more of a perfect robot than a human. After all, what was he other than 

the machine created singlehandedly by his family in order to inherit the family business

He could perfect a great many things, and none of those would be remotely flawed

Everyone he knew, and everyone else who knew him, had nothing but praise for him

And he’d never really questioned how wrong his upbringing or his life had been

That was until he met Larissa

Larissa was an unexpected presence in his life

He enjoyed the feeling of controlling everything, but Larissa’s presence was not within his calculations. And yet. he didn’t hate it. Quite the contrary, he rather liked having her in his life

Because of Larissa, he grew to feel what joy, sorrow, and anger were

Or, rather, all the joy, sorrow, and anger in his life were solely because of her

So, he could not understand why Larissa would even grieve over Travisdeath

Especially when, in his mind, betrayal was a serious offense

Everyone who’d betrayed him in the past had ended up with fates crueler than death

Still, he had to admit that his jealousy had played a considerable role in his outburst earlier as well

But of course, Larissa had no idea about any of this

It didn’t stop her from easily forgiving him right there, however

I accept your apology,she’d said

Larissa supposed those who were goodlooking had their advantages after all

Faced with his forlorn expression riddled with guilt, she was immediately rendered speechless

Moreover, he’d never had any ill will toward her. He was just trying to stand up for her, albeit his words were rather harsh

Kevan observed her facial expressions carefully

Chapter 190 

Only when he was certain that she hadn’t just forgiven him because she felt pressured to, did he finally feel at 

ease

“Are you still sad?he asked

Larissa didn’t know how to respond to that so she pressed her lips together and remained silent

Kevan patted the empty space beside him. Lie down. I want to show you something.” 

Fuckwhat a terrible line

A few inappropriate images flashed through her mind, especially when Kevan later added, I promise you’ll like it.” 

I refuse.Larissa wanted to say

And yet, what came out of her mouth was, What is it?” 

Kevan didn’t answer her question directly. Just lie down and you’ll see.” 

Larissa hesitated before climbing onto the bed and lying as far away from him as possible

The space between the two of them was so large that they could still fit another person. Kevan glanced at her, but she showed no visible reaction

He laid flat on his back, his right arm extended to the back. Finding the starshaped button on the wall behind his bed, he pressed it, and the initially dull stars glowed a soft shade of gold

At the same time, the other lights in the room were extinguished, the nebulae patterns on the ceiling on top of them gradually fading until they finally disappeared and revealed the vast, neverending night sky along with countless stars sparkling in its depths

Larissa couldn’t help but gape at the display

Never before had she seen such a magnificent and magical view before, and so her first reaction was. Is this some kind of projection?” 

No.Kevan pressed another starshaped button, and the ceilingor, rather, the two transparent glass panels separated and moved to both sides until they completely disappeared from sight

The view remained the same, apart from the lack of a roof that separated them from the outside. The chilly mountain breeze suffused the air, the cold so intense that Larissa couldn’t help but shiver
