Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 390

"Why are you still as stubborn as you were in the past?" Wendy chuckled, finding Larissa's determination amusing.

"Why do you still enjoy exposing me like you always did in the past?" Larissa pouted and glared at her.

Their eyes met, and both of them couldn't help but laugh.

"This is great. It feels just like old times," Wendy sighed contentedly.

"Yes, it does," Larissa agreed with a nod.

Although time had passed and they both had changed, their friendship remained unchanged.

In the end, Wendy drove them home. She lived on the outskirts, so there weren't many tall buildings. Every house in this area was a villa with a huge courtyard. It was the same for Wendy's house.

Wendy had bought the house in full payment with her savings. "This place cost me about as much as a restroom cubicle in Bartham."

Larissa was envious and even more so when she entered Wendy's house and saw her garage, game room, and gym. She could also afford these things but lacked such a big house.

"The only benefit of this place is the housing prices. The outskirt is really deserted. The hospital, supermarkets, and other facilities are miles away. After eight in the evening, there are no cars or people on the street. It can really be unnerving," Wendy sighed.

"You have no idea how scared I feel living alone here. Every night, I worry that someone might break in, rob me or even murder me. Now that you're here—" Wendy suddenly hugged Larissa and gave her a kiss before continuing, "I don't have to be scared anymore!"

Larissa was famished, so she devoured the steak in just a few bites, and most of the salad had also been eaten by her.

"Is there something else to eat? I don't feel full at all," Larissa asked Wendy while wiping her mouth with a tissue.

Wendy was taken aback by Larissa's request but willingly offered her the remaining steak and salad. "Take it. You can finish it. I'm on a diet anyway, so I don't mind eating less."

Larissa didn't hesitate to accept the additional food but still found herself unsatisfied.

"Lari, are you sick?" Wendy couldn't help but ask.
