Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 944

When she thought of this, Larissa couldn’t help but say angrily. “When are you going to return the money you owe me?”

Yvette had never given her much pocket money. From elementary to high school, she had only saved 10 thousand dollars. However, she had put it all in to save him when he was in the hospital

Back then, Kevan had suddenly disappeared.

She went to the hospital as usual after school, but the ward was empty. There was not even a farewell note left behind.

The doctors and nurses had no idea about Kevan’s departure. He hadn’t even completed his discharge procedures, so no one knew where

he had gone.

Larissa suspected that he had fled to avoid paying back the money he owed her.

She even considered reporting him to the police.

In the end, she chose to give up.

Cooperating with the investigation would only waste her time.

“How much do I owe you? Kevan asked.

Larissa extended one finger. “10 thousand dollars!”

Kevan took out his phone and tapped the screen a few times. Larissa received a notification showing that a million dollars was credited to

her account.

She counted the number of zeros in her account and said awkwardly. “This is too much.”

However, Kevan didn’t think so. “Not at all”

He shoved the phone back in his pocket and said seriously. “If it weren’t for you, I might have died on that construction site twenty years ago. Even if you asked for everything I have, I’d give it to you.”

“Does that include Microworks Corporation? Larissa inquired deliberately.

Kevan’s expression was nonchalant as he agreed without any hesitation. “Yes, including Microworks Corporation,”

Larissa’s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head to conceal her bashfulness. With a light chuckle, she asked. “Then, why did you disappear without a word?”

Although she had completely forgotten about Kevan, this incident was still fresh in her mind. She hadn’t spent much time with him, and Kevan liked to tease her by playing pranks on her.

Nevertheless, he was the closest thing to a friend she had in the first seventeen years of her life.

In his presence, she didn’t need to pretend to be someone else. She could say what she wanted to say and do what she wanted to do. She could shed the identity of a member of the Seymour family and be the most authentic version of herself.

“Grandpa found me and took me away by force,” Kevan explained. He regretted not being able to say goodbye to Larissa in person. After he had recovered, he had tried to lind her at school

However, Roland had warned him to stay away from Larissa, so he could not meet her. Thus, he had taken that photograph as a keepsake. It was also a reminder to himself not to forget her.

“Oh.” Alter knowing that it wasn’t intentional, Larissa felt a little relieved.

“Lari.” Kevan held her hand and put her arms around his neck. Drawing closer to her, he trapped her between himself and the office desk. She had nowhere to escape. She tilted her head back and met his intense gaze.

“I’ve never said these words to anyone before. Listen carefully, I won’t repeat a second time,” Kevan said in a steady voice, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

Larissa held her breath and waited for him to continue.

Keven’s lips trembled and a bitter smile appeared on his face. “I still love you.”
