Chapter 370
Ruby anxiously shouted, “Larissa, if you want to blame someone, blame me, not Kevan! He has nothing to do with this. Direct your anger
at me!”
Direct her anger at that woman? Indeed, Larissa felt the urge to act aggressively and confront Ruby, perhaps even pulling her hair, forcing her to apologize to M uffin. But what would that accomplish? Kevan would still believe Ruby, protect her, and help her deflect the blame.
leaving Larissa labeled as a “jealous wife.”
So, what was the point?
In that instant, the thought of it made Larissa’s anger dissipate, and it was replaced by a profound sense of exhaustion and
powerlessness.

“I’m tired,” Larissa finally said. “I’m going to bed.”
After she left. Kevan’s phone call continued.
Ruby asked, “Kevan, do you believe me?” Her voice was tense and trembling, revealing her nervousness.
Kevan’s eyes darkened, and his face grew increasingly gloomy. However, his voice remained soft and melodious, akin to a cello. “Of course, I believe you.” Dylan, sitting beside him, pursed his lips and silently mourned for Ruby in his heart.
Ruby and Kevan talked for a while longer, and she reluctantly ended the call after he mentioned his tiredness.
Dylan clicked his tongue a few times before asking Kevan, “Are you planning to divorce Larissa tomorrow?”
Kevan merely glared at his friend, rose to his leet, and retreated to his room.
In the following days. Kevan and Dylan were out early and returned late. Larissa asked Violet for a driver to take her to the hospital every day, where she would bring Cookie to accompany Mu ffin for at least half a day.

On each occasion. he would bring her the latest updates on Kevan and Ruby while urging her to divorce swiftly and free herself from misery. Larissa ignored him as usual and remained focused on visiting the doctor’s office daily to inquire about M uffin’s discharge.
“Do you know that my brother and sister-in-law are getting divorced?” he asked.
She wasn’t surprised by the news. Although the matter had dragged on for a long time, the outcome seemed inevitable. Moreover, it would likely be resolved swiftly with Dylan’s involvement. She silently speculated that Kevan would broach the topic of divorce when he returned
that night.
Their previous attempt at getting divorced couldn’t be finalized, and she didn’t feel comfortable raising the issue while Dylan had been living with them. Alas, Kevan’s relief from the marriage was imminent. However, Larissa maintained her composure in front of Edmund. “Is
that so? That’s truly unfortunate.”
