Larissa's heart sank. "What did he say to you?"
"He knows that I'm your ex-husband." Kevan stared at Larissa calmly.
"He must have guessed it! I never told him that."
Larissa never discussed her private matters with others.
Even the fact that Aster was her biological son was revealed accidentally when Aster let it slip during a playdate with Freddy.
Later, it was Freddy who told Allen about this.
"He even knew about Ruby." Kevan felt uneasy when he mentioned her name.
He observed Larissa's reaction closely. As expected, there was a flicker in Larissa's eyes.
"He didn't know Ruby's name, but he knew about the things that happened between the three of us …" Kevan continued.
Thus, Allen was convinced that Larissa and him were merely acting.
Allen had warned him, asking Kevan to leave on his own accord.
He even said that he was the only man worthy of Larissa.
"He probably had someone investigate me, or someone close to us reached out to him. Given that Edmund appeared here out of the blue, I suspect that both of them are in contact," Kevan concluded.
Larissa tried to brush off the unease she felt when Ruby's name was mentioned.
She tried to focus on the main issue. "So, Edmund is here to come after us?"
Kevan didn't give her an affirmative answer. "I'm just suspicious about it."
He reached out and rubbed her furrowed brow. "Don't worry. Didn't I promise you that I'd handle it?"
Wendy was not the only worrying thing on Larissa's mind right now.
It wouldn't be that hard to separate Edmund and Wendy.
Kevan might only need to make a phone call and it could be done within two days.
