Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 428

Bethany spoke up hastily. "The person who pushed me is Aster, the boy from my class! He's very naughty! He always bullies me!"

Kevan narrowed his eyes imperceptibly and asked drily, "Really?" He sounded uninterested in the topic.

Ruby gritted her teeth and secretly pinched herself, making tears well up in her eyes immediately. "Yes! He leads the other kids in the class to ostracize Bethany, so she has no friends at kindergarten. I spoke to his mother once, but she was so unreasonable! She said that being ostracized is Bethany's own fault and has nothing to do with her son!"

"If that's the case, then transfer her somewhere else." Kevan gave Ruby a solution effortlessly. Ruby's lips moved as if she had a lot more to say, but she ended up saying okay, suppressing all her dissatisfaction. Her most urgent mission wasn't to make Kevan strike out at Larissa and her son, but for him to accept her and Bethany.

Kevan invited them into the living room. As Bethany was about to climb onto the sofa, he stopped her. "You …" He said to Ruby, "Let her sit on your lap." Ruby carried Bethany onto her lap reluctantly. Although Bethany was only five years old, she already weighed over 150 pounds, which was double the weight of a normal child. Ruby couldn't move under her weight and her legs felt numb and sore in less than two minutes. However, she could not lose her temper in front of Kevan, so she continued tolerating it.

Kevan fetched them a glass of water each and sat down beside them. "Since you're here today, then I'll make things clear," he said.

His grim expression made Ruby feel uncertain.
