Kevan suddenly found himself being ridiculous again.He had already decided last night to end things decisively, but when things really got down to it, he withdrew once more.Dylan sneered back at him and said, "Don't underestimate me! Let me have a good chat with Larissa first during these two days. Don't do anything rash!""No need." Kevan refused his good intentions. "I was the one who spoke of divorce first. My two cousins … they're getting restless again." His half-narrowed eyes were gleaming coldly.Although Dylan was not completely privy to his family matters, he was aware of a good deal of it. Hearing him say that, Dylan's heart rose up into his throat. "They've made a move on Larissa?""Cody tried to pursue her, but failed," Kevan said."Holy fuck, dude—!" Dylan was really disgusted. "Can your cousins honestly change their tactics in fighting you? They just keep trying to steal your girl to give you some setbacks. It's fucking low, man!"Kevan smiled mockingly. "Conside

The cold air blew in, causing the temperature of the apartment to drop, but it also cleared up the greasy air in the room.Dylan was not a clean freak, but that did not mean that he was willing to clean up after someone's food trash. He would not mind it so much if it was a close friend, but it just had to be Ruby, who he hated greatly."Hell no." He dumped himself on the sofa, his expression one of extreme candidness. "Ruby can take care of it herself when she comes out."Kevan glared at him, but he did not force him to do it.Ruby said she was going to get changed, but when she emerged from the bedroom, she had washed and dried her hair as well as put on makeup. Dylan was no longer confused then as to why she needed to spend one and a half hours to get changed.Having "armed" herself, Ruby was clearly calmer than before, and more confident too. But when she noticed the trash she left on the coffee table, she freaked out again, quickly going over to throw everything into the tras

This question of his really stumped Kevan. Thinking it through carefully, Kevan said uncertainly, "I don't … think so? Anyway, I've never seen her act out when I was with her.""But earlier …" Dylan told Kevan everything he had heard, which made the latter frown deeper as a hint of panic appeared on his face."You're saying … she was looking for a cat?""Yeah." Dylan nodded. "She doesn't seem to like that cat. Just kept yelling as she tried looking for it. She sounded near hysterical, I'm telling you, just like she has bipolar disorder or something."The moment Dylan finished speaking, Kevan was already out of the car."Hey! Where are you going?" Dylan also unfastened his seat belt and hurried down after him too.Kevan had returned to Ruby's place, and she had found the kitten. When Kevan went inside, she saw her strangling Muffin's neck with one hand, a twisted, hideous smile on her face. Muffin was meowing in agony; her voice was so pitiful even as her four limbs flailed in the

Seeing her hand coming over, Muffin's eyes fixed themselves on it as she shifted into a crouch, preparing herself to pounce. Ruby immediately let go out of fear."The bodyguard's with you. Don't be afraid." Kevan smiled, soothing her gently.Dylan looked at his watch and spoke up just at the right time. "Mr. Rogers, I have a video call appointment with a client at 1:30 pm. Could you please send me back to the hotel first?""Of course." Kevan agreed at once. He said to Ruby with some helplessness, "Well, we'll be going then. After you're done at the hospital, call me."Ruby reluctantly said, "Okay."…The moment he was in the car, Kevan dumped Muffin on Dylan's lap, which startled the hell out of the latter. He leaned back, arms held safely out of the way as he exclaimed fearfully, "Could you please put it in the backseat?"Kevan eyed him and chortled. "Scaredy-cat!" He then added, "This cat's stupid. It won't claw at you at random.""Who are you kidding?!" Dylan glared as he ac

The cat had been with Larissa for over a month without any issues. However, it returned with a broken leg after spending only two days with Ruby. Larissa couldn't believe that this had nothing to do with Ruby at all.Kevan was also clueless. As he saw Larissa's accusing gaze, he felt both sad and slightly angry. After all, Larissa thought that he and Ruby were on the same side. Did she really think he was responsible for all of Ruby's wrongdoings?"Quit looking at me like that," he said coldly. "I will ask Ruby about the cat and make sure to give you a satisfactory answer."Larissa clenched her fists. "I hope so."...The doctor reattached Muffin's leg but didn't allow her to go home. "Let's keep her here for observation for a while. If the owners can't take care of her properly at home, the leg might break again," he said, glancing at Larissa's still-casted injured leg. "I'm sure you understand this very well."She couldn't bear to leave Muffin behind, so she stayed with Muffin at the
