Chapter 182
Larissa began to look for information about new real estate projects in the city during her spare time with the intention of buying a house. She would take note whenever a property piqued her interest so that she could view the place when she had time off.
Lana came to give her a gift brought back from Corinthia and happened to see her looking at properties on her computer.
“Are you planning to buy a house? Lana asked in surprise.
It wasn’t not something to hide or be secretive about so Larissa admitted, “Yes
“Why?” Anxiety flashed in her eyes as she asked, “Aren’t you going to marry Kevan?”
Larissa was taken aback.
“No. I just… I’m investing in property now” She couldn’t tell Lana that she was buying the house for herself, or else Lana would definitely suspect her relationship with Kevan.
“Oh “Lana accepted her explanation without any suspicion, and added sheepishly. “Are you really not coming back to Bartham?”
“Yes,” Larissa didn’t want to delve deeper into this subject and changed the topic. “What would you like to drink? I’ll get it for you.
“Just water.” Lana sat down comfortably on the sofa across the living room and asked casually. Can I stay here for dinner tonight?”
After Larissa injured her shoulder, she would usually have dinner with Kevan and Dylan.
Occasionally, when she was at home during the day, Kevan would have the housekeeper come up and cook a separate meal for her
Lana’s request put her in a dilemma. It was common courtesy to invite the quest to stay for dinner, but this wasn’t completely up to her. After giving it some thought, she handed a glass of water to Lana, and asked, “What would you like to eat? Let’s go out together.”
However, Lana didn’t seem as excited as she had imagined.
“Huh… I eat out every day after work, I’m tired of it now. I just want to eat some home-cooked food, “she answered
“But I don’t have anything prepared, and…” Before Larissa could finish her sentence, her phone. rang. It was Kevan. She was sure he was about to ask her to go have dinner.
As expected, Kevan informed her in a flat toe, “Dinner is ready, come down and eat.”
Larissa glanced at Lana and hesitated as she said, “Lana brought me some souvenirs, and I was planning to eat out with her…”
Before Kevan could respond, Lana quickly interrupted, saying, “I don’t mind joining you for dinner!”
Larissa was unsure how to react, but then she heard Kevan say, “Bring her along.”
Larissa brought Lana to the 27th floor. Lana mentioned that she had brought something for Kevan
and Dylan, so she wanted to take the time to give it to them. Larissa waited for her outside the main entrance. When she came out, she was carrying two paper bags, one big and one small. The big one had characters written in Corinthia’s local language that Larissa couldn’t understand, while the small one had the logo of an international brand.
“Let’s go. Lana’s expression became much brighter When she approached, Larissa wrinkled her brows as she had obviously put on more perfume than before. Lana’s intentions were as clear as day, and Larissa couldn’t ignore them even if she wanted to.
As soon as they reached the entrance of Dylan’s home, Lana let go of Laussa’s hand. She put on a
bright smile and t aang the doorbell. Dylan was the one to open the dissa’s hand. She put on a
