Sweet Subterfuge

“I heard about our past from Dylan,”
In the end, Kevan still couldn’t be honest with her. Using Dylan as an excuse, he tried to bring up their history together.
Alas, this news shocked Larissa,
The expression on her face froze. Her body stiffened when she heard Kevan’s words.
To Larissa, Kevan, who had lost his memories might appear to be the same person as Kevan from before. Alas, he was still quite
different.
He didn’t have the unpleasant memories of their past together, nor was he as sarcastic and harsh as before.
Their improved relationship right now was based on the foundation that she didn’t feel embarrassed about herself in front of him
anymore.
Things would be different if he regained his previous memories. She could forgive Kevan in his current state.
Alas, she couldn’t let go of the pain that he had caused her in the past.
As her guard went up, Kevan could see the change in her eyes which had turned cold with suspicion. His heart ached. It was as
if it was
pierced by a knife. He was also seized with anxiety and worry.
“He only told me part of it,” Kevan tried to save the situation. But Larissa’s attitude remained indifferent and distant.
Kevan was debating whether he should press on. But he knew that if he didn’t say it now, he might never get the chance again.
He spoke up. “He only told me that we were married.”
Larissa couldn’t stop herself from trembling. She gripped the blanket covering her knees.
After some difficulty, Kevan swallowed and managed to moisten his parched throat.
“– I’m sorry,” he replied, struggling to get the words out of his mouth.
Larissa didn’t know why he was apologizing, but regardless of the reason, she didn’t care.

“It’s all in the past. Trying to avoid his gaze, she answered in a hoa rse voice. It was as if there was a foreign object lodged in her
throat.
“The reason I brought this up is not to make you feel uncomfortable. I’m just thinking if we were married before, is it possible that
Aster is my son?” Kevan’s speech slowed down even more than usual. He asked this with genuine concern.
Larissa was taken aback by his question.

Widening her eyes, she instinctively shrunk backward from Kevan, She bumped into the backrest of the chair, causing the
wheelchair to rock.
In a flash, Kevan quickly held onto the armrests of the chair to stabilize it. So Larissa would not be thrown off.
Soon, she regained her composure.
“That’s impossible. Although I have no idea who Aster’s father is, I’m sure that it’s not you.” Larissa replied firmly..
When she was pregnant with Aster, Kevan was still in a coma. “I got pregnant with Aster after our divorce.”
“Even if we’re divorced, it doesn’t mean that he could not be my son. I want to get a paternity test, Kevan insisted.
He had already planned everything in advance. Once Larissa saw the test results and found out that Aster was his son, he would
push all the blame onto his past sell,
Now that he had lost his memories, he would naturally know nothing about how he managed to impregnate her.
“Don’t bother, it’s not necessary,” Larissa rejected him.
Feeling cold, she pulled the down coat tighter around her body. “I want to go back Indoors.”
Looking up, the sun was still shining in the blue sky. Despite the beautiful weather and scenery, she couldn’t stay there for
another moment longer,
