Larissa would never allow Aster to be in such a dangerous situation. Once again, Wendy fell silent. There was a long pause before she asked, "What if Kevan pursues you?"
Larissa replied firmly, "That's impossible!"
Wendy became angry. "Fine! I won't give you advice anymore. Do as you wish!" She gritted her teeth and ended the video call abruptly.
…
Larissa had a restless night, likely influenced by Wendy's words. She had a long dream. In that dream, Kevan embraced Ruby and stood before her. The two of them were still as sweet and affectionate as before, completely ignoring her presence. Larissa watched from a distance with her heart aching.
All of a sudden, two cats appeared in Ruby's arms. They were Muffin and Cookie, the ones she had raised. She'd left in a hurry previously and entrusted the cats to a pet shop. She left Violet's contact information with the pet shop, but she wasn't sure if Violet had ever brought them back home.
"Muffin! Cookie!" she called out with joy.
However, the two cats seemed oblivious. They cuddled on Ruby's shoulder, sticking out their pink tongues and affectionately licking Ruby's face. Ruby affectionately caressed their soft fur, her face filled with joy. That smile filled Larissa with bitter envy, as if she had just swallowed something bad.
