    Chapter 372


    Time passed quickly, and it was already hall a monthter, Larissa had recovered from her leg injury


    and returned to work at the hotel. Edmund would visit her office every day, finding seemingly legitimate


    excuses, but everyone on the top floor could see the difference in


    his treatment of her.


    Rumors started spreading throughout the hotel, but she pretended to be oblivious. She bought a simple


    wedding ring and wore it on her finger, indicating her married status. Nheless, her n to divorce


    Kevan had not materialized. Since that day after she’d made her strong statement, Kevan never


    brought up the topic of divorce again, and she had been enduring it to save face.


    Meanwhile, Kevan’s rtionship with Ruby became more public. He started taking her to various


    formal and informal social events. In order to spend more time with her, he even gave her a fictitious


    secretarial position. The only limit he set was not spending the night with her, and the Rogers family


    was aware of these amangements.

    Violet caused a scene once when she confronted Kevan, but his attitude waspletely different from


    before. He neither exined nor denied anything but simply stated, “Regardless of what happens


    between Ruby and me. Larissa is still your daughter-inw.”


    Violet was so enraged by his response that she pped him hard on the face and stormed out,ter


    apologizing to Larissa over the phone, crying and ming herself for not raising her son properly.


    Larissa didn’t know how tofort her.


    Cody and Lana’s wedding took ce on a small ind in Kymin. They had booked the entire ind,


    and the wedding guests arrived directly on the Rogers family’s private ne.


    Yvette called Larissa multiple times under the pretense of inviting her to the wedding but ended up


    bragging about Cody’s extravagance. Larissa yed along and pretended to be envious, which only


    made Yvette feel prouder, Yvette praised Cody even more and said, “Having such a wonderful son-in-


    law is truly a blessing from my past life.”


    Larissa agreed. “Yes, so Lana must cherish him.” However, she firmly held onto her excuse of being


    busy with work and declined the invitation to attend the wedding. She wasn’t foolish enough to willingly


    subject herself to humiliation.


    Two days before the wedding. Kevan went to the ind with other guests. Larissa noticed a figure


    simr to Ruby standing next to Kevan in papa raz zi photos that circted online. She admired Ruby’s


    audacity. Not long ago, Ruby was avoiding Cody due to the drama surrounding their divorce


    proceedings, but now she was confidently approaching him. Perhaps things were getting serious


    between Kevan and Ruby, which gave her more confidence to do so.


    Dn didn’t return to Covenford. Even though Ruby’s divorce had been settled, he still stayed in


    Bartham and lived just below Larissa. He woulde home every day and crash at her ce to y


    with the cat


    The two of them watched thetest news about Cody and Lana’s wedding together. As Kevan’s best


    friend, Dn was well aware of Kevan’s affairs and his rtionship with Ruby. Hence, he didn’t show


    any signs of surprise when he saw Ruby in the photos. Instead, he secretly nced at Larissa to gauge


    her reaction, but she remained expressionless, making him slightly uneasy.


    “I actually wanted to go to the wedding with Kevan. The ind has beautiful scenery, which is perfect


    for a vacation.” He awkwardly started a conversation in an attempt to shift the topic. “But I’m not


    familiar with the bride and groom, so I didn’t want to impose.”


    “We can n a trip together another time! She browsed through pa paraz zi photos of the wedding


    venue and felt a slight temptation. The blue sky, white clouds, and beach resembled scenes from her


    dreams.


    “Sure!” He quickly seized the opportunity to divert her attention and began looking at travel guides,


    putting the topic of the wedding aside.


    Meanwhile, on the small ind across the ocean, Kevan spent the entire afternoon in his holel room,


    allending remote video conferences with thepany’s executives. Alter a grueling meeting, he took


    off his headphones, closed hisptop, and leaned back, wearly massaging his temples.
