Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 713
It wasn’t that Gary had abandoned her. Everything was done by Yvette while he was batiling for his life at sea.
Gary had looked for her all these years. Up unt! the moment when they were finaly reunited, he was still searching for her.
The little resentment she bore toward Gary had completely disappeared from the care and love he showered on her for the past
few months. Instead, her feelings of concern for Gary grew.
Gary wanted to compensate her for his absence as a lather and the responsibilities he neglected. Similarly, Larissa wanted to
repay him by being a daughter that he could be proud of.
“Actually, Aster didn’t resemble me much when I was young. Larissa stepped forware. Her gaze landed on the same spol as
Gary’s.
Aster’s features were a combination of hers and Kevan’s. Taken apart, each feature on his lace resembled them separately.
SUIL it was hard to see who Aster resembled more by taking all of his features into account.
Therefore, she had never thought of the possiblity that Kevan could be Aster’s father, even after so many years.
was quite ugly as a child. It’s good that you hadn’t seen me then.” She comforted Gary.
Gary gave her a side-eye. “What nonsense! Both your parents are good-looking! How would thave been possible for you to be
ugly?”
Stunned by his explanation, barissa chuckled. “I never expected you to be shameless!”
Lewis defended Gary, “Back at home, there were some pictures of Gary when he was younger. He was as hot as a celebrity!
To be honest, Larissa could still see the shadow cl a handsome young man on Gary’s profile. Based on Yvette’s vain personality,
Larissa knew that she would have never married a poor guy like Gary if he wasn’t good-looking, no matter how bad the
circumstances might be.
The only thing was that Larissa never expected Gary to have such high self-esteem.
“Oh, right. Do you have any pictures from when you were younger?”
The smile on Larissa’s face disappeared. “No, I don’t have any.”
When she was a child, photo studios could be lound everywhere. Xavier himself had a few compact cameras to take photos, Sul,
Larissa never had her photo taken. Yvette constantly insulted Larissa and said that seeing her lace would bring them bad luck,
Whenever she was in a bad mood, she loved nothing better than to give Larissa a slap on the cheek.
None of the Seymours wanted her around. Of course, the thought of laking a photo of Larissa wouldn’t even have crossed their
minds.
Gary was reminded of the hardships Larissa suffered His quilt weighed more heavily on him.
“Lar, I’m sorry.” Gary grabbed Larissa’s hands, a lump stuck in his throat.-
“It’s not your laull.” Larissa patted his hand and comforted him instead. “I’m living a good lile row. I’ve long since moved on from

the past.”
At present, the tables had turned. Larissa couldn’t help but feel that everything she went through was a test from the heavens.
“If I had not gone through those hardships. I would never enjoy the fruits of my labor today, Larissa said nonchalantly.
Meanwhile, Gary still seemed downcast.
Now that those who needed punishment got what they deserved, the only thing he wished for was for Larissa to be happy. And
her happiness should be given by those whom she truly loved.
Regarding the person she loved
Aname appeared in Gary’s mind, but he rejected it outright. That man would bring nothing hul danger lo Larissa. He had to look
for a perfect candidate to take the place of that man In Larissa’s heart.
