Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 709
This wasn’t too hard for Larissa.
“Alright, Lie down on the bed first.”
Sounds of rustling could be heard over the call.
After a moment, Kevan said, “I’m ready.”
“I tell you a story.”
Lanssa wasn’t lond of singing. On the other hand, she had accumulated tons of bedtime stories while putting Aster to stera.
At this moment, she could use them on Kever instead.
Kevan wasn’t picky.”Sure.”
Clearing her throat Larissa started her story in her softest and lowest tone of voice. “In the deep lorest, there was a little rabbit
and a large
bear
Compared to Aster and his curiosity. Kevan was easier to handle. He wouldn’t interrupt her in the middle and ask random
questions that she couldn’t answer.
Larissa was satisfied at how intently Kevan listened to her story.
When she finished her story without any hiccups.
Larissa waited for some time, but there was no sound from Kevan,
In a low voice, she asked. “Are you asleep?”
No one replied to her, so it seemed like Kevan had lalen asleep.
Larissa breathed a sigh of relief. She thought with a hint of resentment. “He claimed that he couldn’t sleep without me beside
him, but
here he is, snoring away like a pig.”
With a snort she gritted her teeth and hung up.
The next second her phone rang.
I was from Allen, who had been calling her continuously from just now.
Larissa had any thought of remaining friends out of gratitude for his concern for her over the years, it had completely
disappeared.
She was completely turned off by Allen bombarding her with calls.
Larissa couldn’t help wanting to block all his contacts and not talk to him ever again.
Still she still had to pick up his call at this moment.
Larissa composed herself and answered the call with a pollie smile, “Allen, I’m sorry, but I was talking to a friend just now

Her explanation was cut short. “Larissa! How are you? I missed you so much!”
I wasn’t Allen on the other end, but Freddy Grint, his son, Freddy was around Aster’s age
Allen and his wife had divorced early into their marriage. Because of his wife’s addiction to alcohol and drugs, Allen got custody
of Freddy.
As a busy single lather, Alen would bring Freddy to work when his nanny wasn’t free to lake care of him..
Over the years, Larissa and Freddy became quite close. Larissa had introduced Aster to Freddy as well
Freddy was brought up well by Allen, so Larissa was lond of him.
Realizing that he was on the line. Larissa’s tone soltened Immediately. There was no need for her to put on a front.
“I’m line I miss you too!”
“I’ve only arrived in Aldavia today! When I’m finally free. Il bring you and Aster to the theme park alright? Larissa explained
kindly.
“Sure!” Freddy sounded overjoyed over the phone, making Larissa smile wider. “Are you thee this Saturday? My plano teacher
has fallen ill so my class is canceled
Similar to parents in Caldor, Allen had high hopes for Freddy.
Since he entered kindergarten. Allen signed him up for many enriching classes, such as plano, Illustration, and horse riding.
All of Freddy’s free time was occupied with such classes. It might be even more difficult for Freddy to get some time off as
compared to Larissa.
Larissa didn’t expect that she would have to bring the kids out so quickly. Her initial plan was to bring them to the theme park in a
month’s time after she cleared off most of the work at hand.
Stil, she didn’t want to dash Freddy’s hopes.
“Til try my best to make time. After I plan my schedule, I will call you alright?”
