Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 347

“And?” Kevan patiently waited for him to continue.

“I think — Lana is cheating on me.” Lucas pressed his lips together lightly as a hint of melancholy flickered through his eyes.

Kevan chortled. “What has Lana cheating on you got to do with me? Are you perhaps hoping that I would help you gain some kind of Justice?”

“No!” Lucas denied it at once. “The point is not that she cheated on me, but who she’s cheated on me with” He lifted his head and secretly peeked at Kevan. When his gaze met Kevan’s sharp one, he looked down again. “The one she’s cheating on me with seems to be Ruby Cole’s husband.”

Kevan’s gaze became cold. “Why are you telling me this?

“I saw the news.” Lucas began to stammer, “About you and Ruby I thought

“You thought I was cheating with Ruby?” Kevan asked with a strange smile that was not quite a smile on his face, but his voice was dangerously trigid.

Lucas was so scared that he jerked once. His voice was smaller than ever. “N-No His head was lowered further.

“Il I really had cheated with Ruby, what is your purpose in telling me this?” Kevan asked again. “Shouldn’t I be happy that Lana and Cody got together?”

With his reminder, Lucas finally got his logic all sorted out. He had not really thought too deeply into it. Maybe this matter delivered quite a huge blow to him that it left his brain in a muddled state for the most part. He only knew that Lana was cheating on him with Ruby’s husband, and Ruby seemed to have that kind of relationship with Kevan, which was why instinctually thought that he should let Kevan know about this.

“My apologies!” Lucas said with guilt. “It’s my fault for wasting your valuable time–”

Kevan did not say that he accepted nor refused his apology, he just asked. “Do you have anything else you’d like to say?”

Lucas shook his head hard. “No! I’m finished.”

“Then leave.” Kevan said. “Today never happened, and you will not tell anyone that you came here.”

Watching Lucas leave hurriedly with a look of anxiety on his face. Larissa’s suspicions grew. After Kevan dismissed the driver, she could not help but ask him, “What did Lucas find you for?”

“Nothing.” Kevan sat next to her, his long legs comfortably stacked on the coffee table as he loosened his tie before turning to ask her,” You went to my mom’s today?”

Larissa was stunned before she retorted, “How did you know? Did Mom call you?”

Kevan chortled, “I do still recognize my mom’s driver.” Besides, Larissa had changed out of her usual casual wear and was dressed a little formally, so she definitely went out.
