Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 815

Larissa followed Kevan reluctantly into the kitchen. He closed the door yet again.

"What happened to you just now?" He had his back to the door, blocking her escape.

"What do you mean, just now? What's wrong with me?" Larissa was stunned by his question.

"During dinner just now, you were lost in thought with a sad expression." Kevan reminded her.

Larissa realized what he was referring to and felt flustered. She didn't want to tell him the truth, so she used Wendy as a shield. To make it seem more believable, she said with a pout.

"I'm sad because Wendy won't bring her friend back to meet me. Even though we are best friends and I tell her everything … I didn't expect her to hide this from me."

Kevan didn't seem the least bit suspicious. The tensed lines on his face softened, and he ruffled Larissa's hair affectionately. "Maybe she felt that it wasn't the right time to introduce him to her friends. Or … "

He paused abruptly with a cold look in his eyes. "That man has something to hide. That's why he doesn't want to meet you."

Suddenly, Larissa grabbed Kevan's wrist and tugged on his arm.

"Hey, are you saying that because you know who he is?" She leaned in, almost pressing against Kevan's chest.

Although Kevan's inner voice was urging him to hold her tightly in his embrace, her question was hard for him to answer.

Kevan pushed her away with a stern expression. "Didn't I already tell you? I don't know him.

"That's impossible! You definitely know who that person is! Otherwise, why would you go and pick him up? Mr. Rogers personally picking this man up at the airport? That person's identity must be extraordinary!" Larissa was becoming more convinced.
