Her attention was focused on Kevan from the start. Perhaps they may have met here coincidentally, but Dylan definitely brought Kevan here on purpose. She could not yet tell if he was deliberately trying to piss her off.
Kevan kept studying her. She seemed very upset by his presence here and did not seem to want to see him. The beautiful smile on her face vanished the moment she saw them. Even though he already knew of her aversion and dislike of him, he still felt terrible whenever she displayed her feelings so clearly.
"Hi." He took the initiative to speak. "We've met before, do you remember?"
Larissa, of course, remembered. How could she not? Grunting her acknowledgment, Larissa nodded lightly, refusing to say anything beyond what was necessary.
Dylan was shocked. "You've met? When?" Kevan dared to not tell him?! That was too much!
"A few days ago, I guess." Kevan's words were measured, his gaze remaining fixed on Larissa. "This lady seemed to be a little ill, and she collapsed. I just happened to pass by and asked after her a little."
Dylan only then understood why Kevan suddenly asked him to find a nanny for Larissa to help take care of Aster.
"Well, that's quite a coincidence," Dylan said.
"Indeed." Kevan smiled. "I just didn't know that this lady was a friend of yours."
