When they argued, Larissa lell extremely uneasy. Dn was using disposable items like a guest while
she was
Lost in her thoughts, Larissa absentmindedly cut into the steak, resulting in a jarring sound as the knife
grated against the te. Both Kevan and Dn’s gazes snapped to her.
For a moment, even Larissa was shocked.
“Finding it difficult to sink your teeth into?” Dn jested, a teasing tone in his voice.
“Not Larissa quickly denied, her gaze shifting towards Kevan. Then, she lowered her head and added,
“The sleak is delicious.”
Kevan’s culinary skills exceeded her expectations. The steak was cooked to perfection, and he had
even made the ck pepper sauce himself from scratch. Remarkably, the sauce had an impable
taste,parable to that of high–end restaurants.
Kevan seemed to have read her mind and exined, “I bought the slippers because I found them
adorable. Since no other woman has visited my ce, I thought you could wear them. If you prefer
disposable slippers, you can wear those too. As for the cutlery, you can also use disposable ones, but it
will be difficult to cut the steak,”
Then, a yful smile spread across his face as he teasingly Inquired. “Larissa, don’t tell me you
actually think that I have feelings for you?”
Larissa’s face grew even redder as her thoughts were exposed. His mocking demeanor made her feel
ashamed of hersell for overthinking.
“Don’t worry. I will simply y my part and not let it go beyond that,” he reassured, and in the same
breath, said, “I hope you’ll do the same.
Larissa tightened her grip on the cutlery and forced out an answer. “Okay.”
However, Kevan’s expression grew even more unpleasant upon hearing her response. As for Larissa,
she lowered her head and focused on devouring the steak. She wanted to finish the meal as quickly as
possible and escape from the house.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Dn slowed down his pace of eating the lobster. He
cleared his throat and changed the topic. saying. “By the way, I visited the Juvenson District police
station today.”
“Why did you go there? Larissa asked after forcefully swallowing the remaining meat.
“It’s for another domestic violence case. However, while I was there, I also inquired about the progress
of Travis Hardy’s case. Ollicer Sanders told me that the Hardy family suddenly changed their
statement. They imed that Travis couldn’t be cured and didn’t have enough money, so he took his
own life. As a result, the case was closed. But something doesn’t sit right with me. Even if that was why
he jumped off a building, the Hardy family would have med you and soughtpensation. Yet, they
just forgave you There must be a reason behind it. Anyway, I just can’t shake this uneasy feeling I
have,” Dn exined, his lips pursed with concern.
Larissa remained silent. She could do a lot with one million dors, but who knew how long the money
wouldst? However, the Hardy family wasn’t her biggest problem now. Instead, it was her mother. She
couldn’t imagine what Yvette would do when she was furious.
In just ten minutes. Larissa finished her steak. As she set down her cutlery, she couldn’t help but notice
that Kevan still had half of his
steak remaining on his te.
“I’m done.” Larissa announced, wiping her mouth with a napkin. “Thank you for the dinner, Mr. Rogers.
It’s gellingte, and I should head
back.”

Although she was talking to Kevan, she dared not look at him.
On the side, Dn was engrossed in the lobster. When he heard what she said, he widened his eyes in
shock. “You ate so little?”
Larissa touched her half–full stomach and smiled. “I try not to eat too much at night. I’ll gett.”
Kevan knew she was lying but didn’t expose her,
“Pay attention to your safety and call me if there’s anything.” he reminded her.
“Okay,” Larissa nodded. Then, as she changed into her shoes, an unexpected pang of bitterness
washed over her heart. Before she left. she put the car key on the shoe cab.
