Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 488

"Young Mrs. Rogers?" Ben widened his eyes in disbelief.

Everyone nearby turned around, staring at Larissa curiously.

Embarrassed, Larissa blushed crimson.

It was impossible for her to pretend that she hadn't heard him, so Larissa had no choice but to deny it. "You must have mistaken me for someone else."

Ben opened his mouth to say that he hadn't made a mistake when he noticed Larissa making frantic gestures with her eyes.

Grasping the situation, he changed his words wisely. "It seems so. I'm getting old, so my eyesight isn't what it used to be."

Larissa immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ben informed Larissa and her group, "The funeral service is being held at the main hall."

When the others left, Ben pulled Larissa aside and whispered to her discreetly, "You should go to see Old Mr. Rogers for the last time. His coffin is placed in his bedroom. He probably wants to see you too."

Although Larissa highly doubted that it was the truth, she agreed nonetheless. "Alright."

She went to the funeral service first.

Both the inside and outside of the main hall were decorated with flower wreaths sent by guests.

A large black and white portrait of Roland was hung on the center of the wall.

Below the portrait was a registry table with a large registration book.

The pages of the registration book were scribbled with names of guests and messages of condolences.

The members of the Rogers family stood beside the table, expressing their gratitude to every guest who came up to them.

Larissa's gaze swept across them. She noticed Anthony, Violet, Bernard, Felix, and their families were all present, except for Kevan.

She was a little surprised by his absence.

Even if he had amnesia and couldn't remember his grandfather, he shouldn't be absent from such an important occasion.
