He was almost a head taller than her. Every time they got close, she found it difficult to converse with him. "It's a gynecology clinic! There's no reason for a man like you to be there!"Kevan retorted confidently, "Are there no men who accompany their wives to that clinic?" "Are you going there to accompany your wife, then?" Larissa asked. "Yep." Kevan nodded with amusement in his eyes. Larissa blushed under his intense gaze. She pushed him away in embarrassment. "In any case, you are not allowed to go!" Kevan tried to compromise. "Let me send you to the entrance. I won't go in, what do you think?" Seeing as Larissa was going to reject him once more, he added, "You just had an incident. I'm worried about you." It was evident that he was concerned. Moreover, he had already adopted a lower stance. If it weren't for Wendy's strict instructions to not tell Kevan, Larissa would have given in to his persuasion. "That won't work either. Wait at home. We will return soon

Wendy anticipated that Larissa would be angry.Alas, she didn't expect her to be so furious. Startled by Larissa's reaction, Wendy spilled half of the coffee in her cup. As the cafe was heated, Wendy was only wearing a thin shirt. The scalding coffee that splashed on her left an unsightly mark on the beige fabric. Wendy took a sharp breath. She set the cup down as tears welled up in her eyes. She dabbed vigorously at the stain with a napkin. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the cafe. The customers were sitting far apart, so no one paid them any attention. Only some of the waiters who walked back and forth glanced at them with puzzled looks. Although she was still angry, Larissa couldn't help feeling sorry for Wendy when she burst into tears. "Why are you crying?" Larissa demanded, but her tone had softened. Tears continued rolling down Wendy's cheeks but she didn't say a word. Feeling drained, Larissa leaned back into the sofa. "You wanted to talk to me, r

"What did you say? Edmund pursued you?" Wendy couldn't believe her ears. Larissa nodded. "Not many people knew about this. I haven't been using that number in a long time, so I can't show you the messages that he sent me. You can choose whether to believe me or not." Wendy remained silent. Larissa couldn't help feeling disappointed. Larissa never thought that her years of friendship with Wendy could be outweighed by a scumbag whom she had known for less than two months. "Edmund didn't fall in love with you at first sight. He got close to you with ulterior motives. "He wanted to use you to blackmail me and Kevan. This was so that he could gain control of Soaring Corporation and secure wealth for his family." Although Larissa's words were true, the truth sounded harsh to Wendy's ears. "How do you know that he couldn't have fallen in love with me? How can you be sure that he truly doesn't love me? Larissa, stop overestimating yourself! "Will you ever stop thinking that the

Larissa picked up the bottles one by one and held them in her arms. "Do you want some?" she asked, looking up at Kevan. Kevan took all the bottles from her arms and left her only with a case of beer. "You can have this," he said."Hey!" Larissa was already in a bad mood. Now that Kevan had ruined her plans of getting drunk, she felt even more irritated. She reached out to snatch the whiskey back from him. Kevan dodged and kept her at arm's length by flicking her forehead. "Listen to me, or I'll take away the beer too," Kevan said sternly. Larissa hid the cans of beer behind her and glared at Kevan. Staring at the whiskey in his arms, she gritted her teeth. "Fine." Larissa sat on the ground with her back against the sofa. She had a can of beer in one hand and a freshly grilled drumstick that Kevan had made in the other. "I feel so miserable." She took a bite of the drumstick, smearing oil on her lips. Frowning, Kevan leaned over and wiped the oil from her mouth. "

"It's too late to wait for him to go to jail!" Larissa slammed the beer can on the ground, splashing alcohol all over her clothes. Kevan felt a headache coming on. On the other hand, Larissa seemed oblivious. Although she was already drunk, she grabbed the can of beer and took another big gulp. "Wendy has been brainwashed by him, don't you know that?"She turned to Kevan and grabbed his collar with her oily fingers. She left five oily marks on Kevan's white shirt. "Wendy's been brainwashed by him! She doesn't believe in me now! She said that I'm a liar and that I disgust her!" Larissa gripped his collar and shook him. Remembering Wendy's hurtful words, Larissa's heart ached. Kevan finally realized the gravity of the situation. Clapping his hands on her shoulders, he forced Larissa to calm down. "What did Edmund tell Wendy?" he asked with a frown. "Can you believe it? Edmund actually turned the story upside down! He told Wendy that I deliberately broke them up!

The hot water in the bathtub gradually cooled down. The gasps and moans that filled the confined space in the bathroom also quietened. Larissa was exhausted. She laid against Kevan's chest. Her long wet hair clung to her shoulders and neck, concealing the red marks on her skin. Kevan held her and stepped out of the bathtub. He took a towel from the cabinet and wrapped Larissa up in it.Larissa's eyelids fluttered open and she muttered in a hoarse voice, "I'm tired …" Kevan left a gentle kiss on her forehead. He shifted his position so that she could sleep more comfortably in his embrace. "Go to sleep." Larissa closed her eyes. After a while, her breathing became steady as she fell asleep. Kevan drew the curtains in the bedroom, leaving only a dim bedside lamp. Larissa was completely out cold. Even in her sleep, her eyebrows were furrowed and her eyelids twitched from unease. "Wendy …" Her unconscious murmurs reached Kevan's ears, making his heart ache at her

"I'm here to clear up the misunderstanding between you two," Kevan said. Wendy's heart sank. "Misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding between me and Larissa," she sneered. Kevan took two steps forward and sat down on the sofa. "Do you want to come and sit? Aren't you pregnant? Standing for a long time will make your feet ache," he asked Wendy amicably. "I have no need for your concern!" Perhaps because of Wendy's bias, everything Kevan did reeked of an ulterior motive. "Alright then, you can stand there." Kevan didn't insist. He wasn't going to force his kindness on someone who didn't appreciate it. "I heard that you want Larissa to drop the case," Kevan got straight to the point. "Wrong, it's you who should drop the case." Wendy stared at Kevan pointedly. Since Kevan was the one who reported to the police, he should be the one to drop the case. "Edmund shouldn't go to jail for something he didn't do," Wendy continued. "Something he didn't do? Tell me, w

When they exited the elevator, there were few people around. Wendy increased the distance between her and Kevan, slowing her pace gradually. Kevan pressed on the doorbell of a room. The door opened immediately. The person inside the room sounded surprised to see Kevan. "Mr. Rogers?" Kevan turned to look at Wendy and patiently waited for her to catch up. "I brought someone with me," he said to the person in the room. When Wendy finally sauntered to the door, the person in the room exclaimed when he saw her face. Pointing at Wendy, he looked to Kevan for confirmation. "Isn't this person related to Edmund …" When the man mentioned Edmund's name, Wendy looked up anxiously. That man was tall and burly. He had a bald head and a menacing scar on his face. He definitely didn't look like a good person. Wendy froze in fear. Kevan nodded and confirmed the man's suspicions. "Yes, she is. Let's go inside and talk." Kevan gestured to Wendy. Wendy did not move and stared at the both
