Sweet Subterfuge by Trina Duo

Chapter 109
After a moment of silence, Kevan conceded. “Sull yourself.”
He settled down and lay lat on the bed, pulling the blanket up to his chin and closing his eyes lightly.
By the time Kevan was done with his IV drip, it was already dark outside.
Dylan drove on the way back with Kevan sitting in the back seat.
Due to their unpleasant interaction just now, Larissa chose to sit in the passenger seal.
Closing his eyes to rest, Kevan remained silent throughout the drive.
While driving, Dylan invited Larissa to have dinner at his house. “Dinner is already prepared,” he said.
Larissa yawned and declined his offer. I just want to go home and sleep now.”
She couldn’t stay awake any longer.
“Alright Dylan didn’t insist
Larissa got out of the car first, while Dylan and Kevan remained inside.
“Which acquaintance did you meet? Dylan turned to Kevan with a serious expression. “Is it someone from your family?”
Kevan was not the type of person who would chat with acquaintances outside of work. Besides his family members. Dylan
couldn’t think of anyone else who would make Kevan voluntarily leave the ward
However, Kevan gave him a negative answer. “No.”
“Then who was it? Dylan was quite puzzled, “Did you lie to Larissa about seeing someone you know? He thought the latter was
more likely.
Kevan wrapped his coat tightly around himself and opened the car door, evading the question, “Let’s go back and have dinner.
I’m hungry.”
Larissa slept for a long time.

It wasn’t until the alarm clock rang in the morning that she woke up from her dream.
This vi
was her first day back to work after taking a leave of absence. In addition, it was also the first time she was going to meet her
colleagues after the scandal was exposed,
On the way to the hotel she mentally prepared herself for the condemning looks, but to her surprise, no one treated her any
differently. than before.
Everyone she encountered expressed sympathy for her and condemned the despicable behavior of the Hardy family, offering
words of comfort.
“Ms. Seymour, welcome back
“You’ve been through a lot these past few days!”
“We knew you couldn’t be as what that awful woman described?
“That old woman is deplorable! Her own son did so many terrible things, and yet she dared to place all the blame on you!”
‘Fortunately, the truth prevailed in the end. Ms. Seymour, it must feel great to prove them wrong!”
“Yeah, people like that deserve to be condemned by everyone!”
That morning, Larissa’s office was filled with presents and snacks brought by well–wishing colleagues. They even prepared a
fresh bouquet of lies in a vase to welcome her.
Larissa was fully convinced that her decision to come back to work was the right one.
However, her rellel was short–lived, ending before the morning was even over.
The office door was suddenly pushed open, startling Larissa.

She looked up, ready to reprimand whoever it was for their impudence, but when she saw who it was, her body froze.
