Semua Bab Sweet Subterfuge: Bab 851 - Bab 860

Larissa read those documents until 2 am. When she went back to her room, she purposely went to the guest room as she wanted to check on Wendy.Carefully pushing open the door, Larissa saw darkness and no light. The person lying on the bed heard the noise though, and she shouted, "Who is it?"Larissa screamed in fearful shock. After she calmed down, she put a hand to her wildly beating chest and turned on the lights.Wendy sat on the bed, her hair completely messed up. She looked very energetic and not sleepy at all. They stared at each other for a while before Larissa asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's so late.""I should be asking you that." Wendy looked annoyed. "It's already so late, and you still come to other people's rooms secretly. Who are you trying to scare?""I just finished reading the documents Lewis left for me," Larissa said. "I just happened to pass by your room, so I decided to come take a look.""Tsk!" Wendy rolled her eyes at Larissa. "Don't think I don't

On Sunday morning, Lewis came over early and gave Wendy two tickets for a big Tinseltown sci-fi movie that had just hit the cinemas."If you're feeling bored, you can take Aster to the movies."This movie was quite popular recently. During weekends, the theaters for that movie were always packed. Wendy had wanted to watch the movie with someone before, but she was unable to get tickets."Fantastic!" She happily agreed and leaned down to hug Aster and give him a kiss. "Come have fun with Godma later! I'll take you to eat the best food there is!"Although Larissa was worried about Wendy's health, she also hoped that her friend could go out and do something to distract herself.While Aster was looking for his bag in his room, Larissa quickly grabbed her son and instructed him to take note of several things."Godma's not feeling very good. Be a good boy when going out with her, walk properly, and don't run. Don't jump on Godma, and watch over her. Don't let her eat random things. She

Lewis arrived at the restaurant before someone called the police. After he paid, he picked Aster up and pulled Larissa out of the place.Now that the situation was under control, the people in the restaurant kept looking at them though, and their quiet discussions kept going.Aster's emotions calmed down slowly after they were in the car. His wailing changed into sniffling and hiccuping. He held Larissa's hand and refused to let it go.Lewis did not rush to start the car. He took some tissues and gave them to Larissa to clean herself and Aster up. They had cried so hard that their eyes were red. Their faces were wet with tears and it actually looked kind of scary."Try calling Wendy," Lewis said to Larissa, who dug for her phone while hugging Aster.Wendy's phone remained unanswered like yesterday. But this time, she had her phone with her, so it was impossible for her to not have heard the ringtone."Why don't we call the police?" The ringing in the phone made Larissa's fear com

Larissa kept trembling. She could not be bothered to think where Edmund had found out that Wendy was pregnant. She dug her nails hard into her flesh, using the pain to force herself to be calm."You …" She gritted her teeth, her throat tight. "What do you want to do exactly?""I want to meet up with you," Edmund said.Larissa gripped her phone very tightly as she asked him, "If I meet with you, will you let go of Wendy?""Of course." Edmund agreed very readily. "But—" His dragging out of the message caused Larissa to hold her breath. "You can only come alone." Edmund's voice became cold. "If I found out that you've called the police, or that someone's following you secretly …"Edmund laughed evilly. "You don't want to know what I'll do to Wendy.""Fine!" Larissa could not be bothered to think. The only thing in her head right now was to save Wendy from Edmund. Even if she had to lose her life for this, she did not care. After all, this happened because of Larissa herself."I'll

Larissa did not know what Edmund had gone through to be so weird. Suddenly, he had a new, additional aura of an evil creepy fucker—or maybe he was always like that, but he hid it well last time.The creepy pervert killers Larissa had seen on TV gradually merged with Edmund's face. She held her breath and gritted her teeth, which only barely allowed her to not show her fear.Feeling how tense Larissa was, Edmund only smiled more. It seemed like the more uneasy she was, the more excited he was."You're scared of me, sweet girl." Edmund used a tone of certainty.Larissa looked down and said nothing. Her hands, which were tied behind her back, gripped the bed sheets beneath her tightly."I really wanna take a picture of you like that and let Kevan see it." Edmund's finger kept stroking her whole face."He must feel really bad to see his darling woman in trouble and fear, hmm?""Darling woman?" Hearing this, Larissa raised an eyebrow and said mockingly, "Isn't Kevan's darling woman
