Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 833

Larissa might have used too much force earlier.

As she spoke, she reached out to pull up Freddy's sleeve.

He pulled away in alarm and hid his arm behind him.

Freddy insisted, "It doesn't hurt."

Larissa wasn't feeling at ease with his strange reaction.

"Let me talk to your dad. We should go to the hospital for a check-up, okay?" she tried to coax him with a gentle tone.

Freddy's resistance grew stronger.

He took a few steps back and shouted at Larissa, "No! Don't tell my dad! I'm not going to the hospital!"

Larissa grew worried and waved at him.

"Okay, I won't tell your dad. I won't bring you to the hospital either. Come over here and let's talk properly."

Freddy kept his distance and looked at her warily.

He did not move closer to Larissa at all.

Larissa and Freddy remained in a standoff until Kevan's and Allen's cars pulled up in front of them.

Kevan honked the horn, startling Larissa.

At this moment, Freddy dashed past her and got into Allen's car.

Allen seemed to be saying something to Freddy in the car.

Then, Freddy rolled down the window and flashed a bright smile at her.

He waved to her and called out, "Larissa, goodbye!"

There was no sign of his previous aversion to her.

Larissa's heart sank.

She felt something off with Allen and Freddy.

Seeing that Larissa hadn't moved from her spot, Kevan honked the horn again.

Larissa reserved a table that was not directly by the window, but they were sufficiently close. It was facing the hotel's entrance so she could easily see who came out of the hotel.

Larissa ordered something and kept her eyes fixed on the hotel.

Kevan followed her gaze and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Larissa smirked and said, "I'm setting up a trap and waiting for my prey to fall into it."

Kevan quickly understood. "Are you waiting for Wendy?"

Larissa nodded. "Yes. She hasn't replied to my message all day. I want to see just how charming her mysterious friend is to keep her so engrossed."

Kevan's expression changed, and he said, "Let's change restaurants."

"Why? I finally managed to book a table here. Who knows, Wendy and her friend might turn up. I want to give her a good interrogation when they arrive!" Larissa disagreed.

Before she could finish her sentence, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the hotel opposite the restaurant.

Larissa was overjoyed and took up her phone to take a picture. However, she froze in place when she saw the man beside Wendy.

"How could this be?"
