    Kevan smiled faintly. He approached her, bent down, and picked her up.


    “Aaaaaaah-she eximed. She was squirming in his arms.


    Wendy was munching on potato chips and watching them with keen interest. She thought that the


    scene was more entertaining than the cheesy teen drama.


    Kevan held Larissa’s iling hands in ce. He apologized to Wendy. “I need to talk to her.”


    Wendy nodded confidently. “Yeah, sure! As long as you need to!”


    Larissa turned and red at Wendy. Kevan carried Larissa into the study. He locked the door behind


    them. He gestured for her to sit on the desk and positioned himself between her legs. He wrapped his

    matter with her.


    “Okay, then.” She pursed her lips. Her mood was growing more solemn.


    “Don’t worry too much about her.” He cradled her face in his hands, using his thumbs to gently lift the


    corners of her mouth coaxing a


    smile. “You look better like this.”


    Larissa gave him a wry look and replied coldly, “You’re childish.”
