Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 532

Chapter 532
Larissa was puling her suitcase with her out of the elevator when she turned only to hall abruptly.
Someone was sitting on the floor outside the door. His back was against the wall, and his legs were pulled toward himsell while his head was down, his shoulders completely slumped. There was an aura of desolation around him.
She had not yet ligured out what was going or when she locked eyes with him.
The moment he saw her, his dull eyes brightened up immediately, Kevan scrambled un from the floor and dashed toward Larissa while she was conlused and blanking out in a few steps, grabbing her by the shoulders and yanking her into his arms.
The fresh smell of mint per vaded her nose, and his broad chest as well as his strong arms caused Larissa’s heart to pound, her body feeling hotter and hotter.
Kevan hugged her tightly as if he were going to crush her.
Feeling his trembling, Larissa stopped herself from pushing him away and hugged him back instead.

“…What’s wrong?” she asked softly.
Kevan buried his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling the sweet citrus scent coming from her, which calmed down the anxiety within him bit by bit until all was calm once more.
He reluctantly let her go before standing a step away from her.
“Went out on a business trip? He noticed the suitcase behind her.
“No.” Larissa did not want to say too much to him but felt that he should know too. “I sent Aster back to Aldovia.” She felt inexplicably guilty, tuming away so she did not need to meet his gaze after saying that.
This news was clearly shocking to Kevan, After being stunned for two seconds, he controlled his emotions and asked with a frown. “Why?”
His reaction was not as agitated as Lanssa expected, and she was able to breathe a little easier.
“Let’s talk inside.”
After a more than ten-hour flight, Larissa was already exhausted. She made herself a mug of coffee and downed half of it in one go, barely
managing to give herself some energy with that.
Kevan’s frown deepened. “Drink less coffee. It’s late,” he said.
Larissa put down the mug and said with a smile, “It’s fine. I’m used to it.”
A sharp twinge pierced his heart. Kevan could not imagine how she lived here all these years.
