Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 687
Larissa did not feel the least bit happy that her guess had been confirmed.
An incredible fury consumed her.
She could only bite her lip to prevent herself from saying anything that would hurt.
She could guess the reason why he pretended to be in a coma. It was definitely not because he wanted to do inappropriate
things to her.
He quietly waited for nearly six years. Within these six years, there were rumors that Microworks Corporation was going to
collapse.
But the truth was, Microworks” profils kept growing while Soaring Corporation kept getting worse.
It was truly struggling on the edge of collapsing into bankruptcy.
Larissa did not believe that Kevan was not involved in any of this. So, her fury did not come from the fact that he pretended to be
in a
coma.
She was mad at his irresponsibility, which caused her pain and grief for a very long time before.
“Do you know that I nearly aborted the child?”
Angry grief rose up in her, and Larissa’s eyes somehow teared up. Her voice was also shaking a little.
Kevan’s heart ached when he saw her like this.
He breathed out the most useless words he could have ever said in this situation.
“I’m sorry.”
Larissa was ruthless.
“Il apologies were useful, why

hy would the police be needed?”
Tears spilled down her cheeks.
Kevan nearly said “I’m sorry” again, but he managed to stop himself. His knuckles were white from how tight he was clenching
his hands.
Larissa randomly wiped off her tears.
“I’d rather you lie to me for the rest of my life.”
Her voice was very light, but it crushed Kevan’s heart all the same.
“I don’t even know now to face Aster after I go back.”
She did not know if she should tell Aster that the “daddy” he kept calling was indeed his actual father.
“I want to give Aster a home.”
Kevan’s goal was simple. He knew of course, that lying to Larissa was the best option. But then, their relationship would have
remained frozen for a very long time. He was not patient enough for that. Gelling things over with was more his style.
His words were sincere, but Larissa took it differently. She became more alert as she snapped, “I won’t let you take Aster away!”
Her guarded eyes hurt Kevan very much.
He was just about to explain when Larissa cut him off.
“Aster is my son! He has nothing to do with you! Don’t you already have Bethany? Why do you want to snatch my son from
me?!”
Whenever she thought that her son, who she carried for ten months and proceeded to raise alter, would be taken away from her,
Larissa’s emotions grew agitated.
She could not calm hersell enough to think rationally. Her thought process lumed farther down the wrong lane.

wanted to snatch my son from me?”
If Kevan did not lose his memory, he would naturally remember his relationship with Ruby. But his coldness to Ruby and Bethany
were cold, hard facts. It was to the point that he had heartlessly sent Ruby to jall.
Larissa fell eerie tingles up her spine at the thought of Kevan sacrificing his lover for his goal.
“Kevan Rogers, you’re a horrible man!”
Kevan had heard many people use the word “horrible” to describe him up till today. Many of those were his rivals, his
subordinates, and many strangers of whom he had never even met.
He did not care about the comments from the others. He had always remained unmoved whenever nonsensical rumors about
him cropped up.
But now, he finally felt what it was to be misunderstood by others. He felt sad and felt like he wanted to protest such an
assessment.
“Even if your family has a damn throne” that you need to inherit, plenty of women would love to give you sons. Why do you need
to steal mine? I will only have Aster as my child. He’s the most important person to me in this whole fucking world! Please leave
Aster and me alone!
“Let’s just pretend that nothing has ever happened between us, and we’ll leave each other alone. Mmph!”
Larissa had not finished speaking when her mouth was silenced by something else.
