Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 397

Five years later, in Bartham, Caldor.

A black Mercedes was speeding along the highway from the airport to the city center, and in its spacious backseat sat a woman accompanied by a young boy who was approximately four or five years old.

The woman sported a pixie cut and was dressed in a Chanel suit. Her impeccable makeup and attire exuded an aura of elegance and professionalism.

There was a laptop on her lap. Even while traveling at high speed, she seemed engrossed in her unfinished work.

The young boy next to her was dressed in a preppy style. He wore a white shirt, a red bow tie, plaid shorts with suspenders, and a pair of shiny black shoes. The little boy was every inch a young gentleman.

With his nose pressed against the car window, his eyes were wide open as he stared without blinking at the passing scenery.

"Mommy, is this your hometown?" the boy curiously inquired. His voice was as clear as the jingle of silver bells.

Larissa tore her eyes away from the complex reports on her computer screen and revealed a faint smile. Gently, she answered, "Yes."

The boy exclaimed, "The sky looks much more beautiful than Westonia!"

Westonia was a city where Larissa had worked after graduating with a master's degree. It was a famous metropolis filled with towering and modern skyscrapers. The beautiful blue sky was usually blocked from view, especially from inside the car.

"That's right." Larissa glanced at the window, but her gaze was indifferent.

After years of traveling around, she never thought she would return to Bartham.

Although Larissa didn't know how long she would be staying this time, her only hope was that she wouldn't get involved with those people from her past again.

Fortunately, they arrived at the accommodation arranged by her company in just one hour as there wasn't any traffic.

Larissa shut her laptop and opened the car door.

When she got out, she froze on the spot.

This apartment …

Her heart raced, and a surge of panic swept over Larissa.

To her astonishment, this place turned out to be the very same apartment where she had once lived with Kevan.
