Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 583

The hospital gowns were all the same. Just based on him and her alone, the feeling one could get from the way they wore these gowns was immensely different. With her, it was just a regular hospital gown; with him, it was like a new line of haute couture that came from a high-end luxury brand's latest season. Even the cheap fabric somehow became classier.

Mrs. Griffin was stunned for two seconds before she grinned, a hand over her mouth. "What a handsome young man!" She did not forget to tease Larissa too. "You're in luck, Lari, dear!"

"We're not in that kind of relationship …" Larissa quickly denied it while looking at Kevan at the same time. He was smiling at her, his expression calm, but his eyes seemed to show a hint of … disappointment?

"Yeah, yeah, I know!" Mrs. Griffin gave her an "I get it" look while also "considerately" leaving the room to let them have the space. "Have a nice time chatting! I'll be going out for a stroll."

…

When Larissa and Kevan were alone, the atmosphere would usually become rather awkward.

The both of them wondered what subject they should start talking about. Finally, Larissa decided. "You …"

"You …"

Her words overlapped with Kevan's. Stunned, the both of them smiled weakly as they let the other have the floor: "You first."

The air stilled again.

Larissa sucked in a deep breath. "Me first, I guess."

Kevan nodded. "Alright."

"How did you get here?" Larissa asked.

"How come Mr. Logan is not here today?" He forcibly changed the subject. "Was there only Mrs. Griffin accompanying you?"

"They went back to the hotel yesterday," Larissa said.

"Will they come today then?" Kevan asked.

Larissa shook her head. "The rain's too heavy. They can't come."

Kevan's brows relaxed for a moment before scrunching up again. "This rain's pretty bad." He looked worried. "I have no idea how I'll be leaving after this."

Thinking of the families of the missing victims shown crying in the news, Larissa blurted, "Why don't you just stay back today instead?"
