Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo
Chapter 785

Hearing the noise, Kevan threw down the spatula and ran out of the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" He was still wearing the apron with flowers printed on it. Larissa was already used to the comical sight of him wearing that apron.

"I'm. Fine." Larissa coughed out the two words with difficulty. She coughed so hard that she bent over with a hand on her chest.

Kevan quickly poured a glass of warm water and pushed it into her hand.

Larissa moved to the balcony. She pulled off her mask to drink the water.

Having managed to calm down, Larissa glared sharply at the two guys who were watching her a far distance away. She said, "You two stay away from me!"

Seeing that Kevan was going to walk over to where she was, she pointed a finger at him and shouted, "Especially you! Don't you dare come close!"

Kevan frowned and stared at her in confusion. He did not understand why within a few short hours, she went from willingly hugging him to sleep to hating him so much she had to avoid him.

Larissa's face was already red from coughing. It covered up the fact that she was also blushing because of her humiliation. Avoiding Kevan's gaze, Larissa went back to her bedroom in the most roundabout way possible.

"You two eat your dinner first. I'll come out and eat after you're done so I don't pass on my sickness to you."

With that, she escaped back into her room and slammed the door shut.

Kevan delivered Larissa's dinner to her in her room.

"Why are you..." Larissa was about to start scolding him when the dark look on Kevan's face made her shut up.

But this time, he did not force her to eat. He sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her.

Larissa was very unsettled by his stare. She could not help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Kevan only spoke up now. "Did I do something wrong again?" His voice was not as cold and scary as Larissa thought. It was actually soft, hoarse, and sounded just a little hurt.

Larissa's heart felt like it was being crushed into pieces. Because of the guilt, Larissa's voice became softer. "No, it's not you. It's me...'

She repeated Aster's question to Kevan. When she finished, her whole face was so red that even her neck turned red.

As Kevan listened, his tense body relaxed. His flat face had a smile of great interest on it.

"Yeah." His eyes darkened. "Why can you sleep on the same bed as me? There's nothing between us at all."

Larissa glared at him. She could not believe that he would say something so shameless.

"Because it's all your fucking fault!" She trembled with rage. "Weren't you the one who made me go to bed with you?"

"Oh, I made you, and so you did exactly what I told you to?" Kevan leaned over to get close to her. His smirk grew bigger. "Now I see that you're rather easy, hmm?"

"You're the one that's easy!" Larissa's rage grew bigger and bigger. She also felt hurt by his misunderstanding, so she began to cry. "Get out! Fucking get out!" She grabbed the pillow behind her and threw it hard at him.
