All Chapters of Sweet Subterfuge: Chapter 711 - Chapter 720

Time passed very slowly in the hospital. Still, apart from undergoing rehabilitation, Larissa would learn from Lewis in her spare time. Lewis taught her about how the company was run and the scope of management. This was to ensure a smooth transition into her new role at the company. Now that she wasn't so free all the time, Larissa found it much more tolerable at the hospital. Larissa had asked to be discharged from the hospital. Her attending doctor agreed readily on the condition that she return for regular appointments. In addition, he wrote her a note regarding stuff that she needed to look out for. On the day she was discharged, Gary personally came to accompany her in spite of his busy schedule. "I had someone decorate your room, and all the daily necessities you need are prepared. You can even move in right now without packing up. Lari, I've waited thirty years for this day to come." Gary's happiness was evident on his face. Larissa felt guilty when she saw th

Gary was eager to meet Aster. Although it was another hour until kindergarten ended, he urged Larissa to leave home as soon as possible. There was not a soul at the kindergarten's entrance when they arrived. Larissa sat in the car and stared at Gary negotiating with the security guard at the entrance. After a while, Gary returned to the car with a dejected expression. "Why are the security guards at this kindergarten so strict? They don't even let the parents in to see children in class!" he complained bitterly through the car window. "It's all for the children's safety. Let's just wait for another half an hour. It will be quick." Larissa comforted him. Still, Gary refused to wait there without doing anything. He got Lewis to drive to the nearest mall and filled up the trunk with toys in half an hour. Larissa tried to stop him, but it was to no avail. "It's my first meeting with my grandson. I have to make a good impression so that he will like me." Larissa said helples

Larissa's eyelid twitched involuntarily, and her heart seemed to have stopped beating. "He … "Due to panic, her thoughts were all jumbled up in her mind. At that moment, she did not know how to explain the situation. In her flustered state, Larissa couldn't think of anything else to say other than the first word she blurted out. Aster noticed her dilemma and answered Gary on Larissa's behalf. "He's not my real dad! I'm talking about Uncle Kevan. He knows that I don't have a dad, so he allowed me to call him Daddy." Aster lowered his head dejectedly, as if all the happiness he exuded just now was sucked out of him. "Uncle Kevan? Kevan Rogers?" Gary came to a realization. "Yes, he's Uncle Kevan." Aster nodded and pursed his lips together, which resembled Kevan's. The disappointment in Aster's eyes pierced Larissa's heart. Inexplicably, the scales in Larissa's mind quietly tipped in favor of Kevan. On the other hand, Gary's face turned scarlet with anger. Suppressing his fury,

On Friday, Larissa slept in for the first time since returning to Aldovia. It's not because she wanted to. After crying and drinking the whole night, she didn't realize it when her alarm went off in the morning. It was only when her stomach growled with hunger that she woke up. Larissa grabbed her phone and looked at the time. It was already noon She saw a few missed calls from Lewis on her phone screen. He hadn't received a reply from Larissa after a long time. So, he had sent a message saying, "I'll go over to your house at 2 pm." Larissa quickly got out of bed, every last bit of her drowsiness gone. Lewis arrived at Larissa's house on time. At that moment, Larissa was trying to depuff her swollen eyes.Lewis stared at her face for a long time. He asked cautiously, while scrutinizing the expression on her face, "What happened to you?" Pressing the ice against her puffy eyes, Larissa chuckled and dismissed him with a wave of her hand. "It's nothing. Last night, Wendy as

Before Larissa could stop him, Aster had already run out with his phone on a video call with Kevan. "Daddy! Mommy's bringing me to Disnieland tomorrow!" Aster shouted with glee. He couldn't wait to share the good news with Kevan. "Really?" Although the connection wasn't too good, Kevan's deep voice was still pleasing to the ears. His relaxed tone had a hint of amusement in it. "Why aren't you asleep? It should be past ten right now." "I'm going to sleep in a while!" Aster ran up to Larissa, kicked off his slippers, and climbed on the sofa. He snuggled into her arms and pointed the phone camera in Larissa's face. "Daddy, do you want to talk to Mommy?" Larissa was caught by surprise. When she met Kevan's gaze over the phone, she couldn't help but feel flustered. After a long pause, she greeted him awkwardly. "Hello!" "Hi," Kevan replied. He seemed to be surprised as well. His expression stiffened for a few seconds before returning to his usual smile. "Why aren't you asleep as
