Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 280

Chapter 280
The kitchen area was separated from the main house and looked ancient. Larissa almost thought they would be using firewood for cooking. However, the moment she entered, it was filled with the latest kitchen equipment.
Kevan offered to help, and Larissa agreed. She was responsible for making the pastry while he made the fillings. Just as they started, they heard Ben announcing, “Young masters Cody and Edmund are here.”
Larissa was taken aback at the mention of Edmund’s name, halted what she was doing, and turned her attention to Kevan. Shocked, she inquired, “Edmund Rogers is here?”
Still engrossed in chopping the ingredients, Kevan responded nonchalantly, “It seems like they are here.”
“Why are they here? Didn’t Grandpa say he only invited the two of us?” Larissa panicked. Kevan was like a ticking timebomb while Edmund

was the catalyst. When Kevan would explode depended on how Edmund stimulated him.
“Grandpa didn’t call them over, but it doesn’t mean they won’t visit.” There was gloom In Kevan’s eyes. He knew his cousin had heard the news and rushed over. He wasn’t willing to tell those two about his relationship with Larissa. However, the more he hid it, the more they would suspect. It would be better to Introduce Larissa to them.
“Wash your hands. We’ll go over and greet them,” Kevan sald to Larissa.
“Can I stay here?” Larissa was unwilling to leave.
“What’s the matter?” Kevan was surprised by her reaction.
“I’m not used to being with strangers. Didn’t you say it’s not good for me if Edmund finds out about our relationship?”
“I think they came over because they know you’re here.” Kevan put down the knife and continued, “It’s meaningless to keep hiding.”
Larissa pursed her lip tightly together, feeling apprehensive. Nonetheless, she proceeded to wash away the flour on her hand before asking, “What kind of disadvantage would Edmund bring me?”
Recalling the old adage that stated, “Know thyself and thy enemy, and you shall win every battle,” Larissa believed that being aware of what Edmund might do to her would allow her to be prepared.
