Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 781

Kevan wished that he did not need to take his hand out of hers. When his hand was empty again, it felt like he left half of his heart behind too.

Larissa did not stop him this time. She could go without breakfast, but Aster could not.

While Kevan was making breakfast in the kitchen, Larissa got out of bed and went through her morning routine. After that, she grabbed her work things and went to Wendy's room.

Having been distracted by the father and son last night, Larissa had forgotten that she wanted to focus on her work. Although she was still uncomfortable because of the cold, her fever was gone. But she could not fall asleep again even if she wanted to.

It was better to finish the slideshow instead.

It did not take long for someone to knock on the door. Larissa closed her laptop and stuffed it under the blanket with her documents.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"Me." Kevan pushed open the door. There was a tray in his hands. "I made chicken soup." He placed the tray on the bedside table.

The beautiful porcelain bowl that Larissa bought online was filled with delicious chicken soup.

"I added some salt. Eat a little something at least, and then take your cold medication."

"Leave it here. I'll eat once I'm hungry." Larissa was worried that he would find out about her work in secret, so she tried to chase him away. "Go to sleep. My fever's gone. There won't be any problems."

Kevan did not leave as she wished though. His sharp gaze looked at her before fixing on the bump next to her. "What is this?" he asked.

Larissa guiltily pressed her hand on the bump, her eyes looking everywhere except Kevan. "Nothing."
