Chapter 372

Time passed quickly, and it was already hall a month later, 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. Nonetheless, her plan 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 relationship 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 was completely different from

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

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

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

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

Larissa didn’t know how to comfort her.

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

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

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

bragging about Cody’s extravagance. Larissa played 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 island with other guests. Larissa noticed a figure

similar to Ruby standing next to Kevan in papa raz zi photos that circulated 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.

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

Bartham and lived just below Larissa. He would come home every day and crash at her place to play

with the cat

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

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

any signs of surprise when he saw Ruby in the photos. Instead, he secretly glanced 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 island 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 plan 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 island across the ocean, Kevan spent the entire afternoon in his holel room,

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

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