On the contrary, the expression on Kevan’s parents’ faces darkened considerably. Kevan’s uncles held
their hands up to their laces, hiding their smirks and trying to stifle their laughter. His two aunts were
less discreet. They simply looked down and chuckled in glee.
Their unusual reactions caught Larissa off guard. She didn’t know what went wrong. Panicking, Larissa
