Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 433

Larissa did not expect him to ask that, so she was a little panicked. Avoiding his gaze, she tried to dodge the question. "Well, I'm just asking, that's all."

Dylan was really affected by her strange reaction. He suddenly had a ridiculous thought. "You can't possibly not know who Aster's dad is, right?!"

Seeing that he had hit the nail on the head, Larissa was so scared that she was at a loss. She quickly dashed up to clap her hand over his mouth. "Don't fucking say shit like that!"

"Mommy, Uncle Dylan, what are you doing?" Aster's sweet voice sounded from a distance not far away.

Jolting hard, Larissa turned to look.

Aster and Kevan were standing side by side at the foot of the stairs about six and a half feet away from them. Their similar eyes showed the same amount of confusion.

Larissa let go of Dylan at once. Smiling sheepishly, she explained, "Uncle Dylan said a bad word. I'm criticizing him for that."

Aster thought it was true—whenever Wendy accidentally said bad words at home, Larissa would cover her mouth like that. He seriously scolded Dylan. "Uncle Dylan, good people cannot say bad words, you know?"

Dylan nodded guiltily. "Yeah. Uncle Dylan won't do that anymore."

Seeing that Aster had successfully fudged the whole thing over, Larissa immediately changed the subject. "How come you both came down together?" she asked Kevan, who gazed at her with his fathomless eyes, causing her to feel anxious for no reason.

"You never came up, so I was worried something had happened. I came down to see what was up." His demeanor was natural, and his lips were curved into a small smile. Even his voice had amusement laced in it. "It's good that you're both okay."

As they were now all downstairs together, they went to pay the bill.

"How did you respond?" he asked calmly, having forced his anger down.

"I said that it wasn't me, of course!" Like hell would Dylan take the blame for Kevan—Kevan would never let him take the blame either anyway.

"Then why did she cover your mouth?" This was what bothered Kevan the most. When he saw that scene, he nearly broke his cover and rushed over to break them apart.

"Because she knows that I know that she doesn't know who Aster's dad is."

The sentence was kind of awkward. It took a few seconds for Kevan to understand what it meant.

Dylan parked the car in the underground garage. He had just gotten into the elevator when he received a WhatsApp chat request from Larissa.
