Chapter 280
The kitchen area was separated from the main house and looked ancient. Larissa almost thought they
would be using firewood for cooking. However, the moment she entered, it was filled with the latest
kitchen equipment.
Kevan offered to help, and Larissa agreed. She was responsible for making the pastry while he made
the fillings. Just as they started, they heard Ben announcing, “Young masters Cody and Edmund are
here.”
Larissa was taken aback at the mention of Edmund’s name, halted what she was doing, and turned her
attention to Kevan. Shocked, she inquired, “Edmund Rogers is here?”
Still engrossed in chopping the ingredients, Kevan responded nonchalantly, “It seems like they are
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthere.”
“Why are they here? Didn’t Grandpa say he only invited the two of us?” Larissa panicked. Kevan was
like a ticking timebomb while Edmund
was the catalyst. When Kevan would explode depended on how Edmund stimulated him.
“Grandpa didn’t call them over, but it doesn’t mean they won’t visit.” There was gloom In Kevan’s eyes.
He knew his cousin had heard the news and rushed over. He wasn’t willing to tell those two about his
relationship with Larissa. However, the more he hid it, the more they would suspect. It would be better
to Introduce Larissa to them.
“Wash your hands. We’ll go over and greet them,” Kevan sald to Larissa.
“Can I stay here?” Larissa was unwilling to leave.
“What’s the matter?” Kevan was surprised by her reaction.
“I’m not used to being with strangers. Didn’t you say it’s not good for me if Edmund finds out about our
relationship?”
“I think they came over because they know you’re here.” Kevan put down the knife and continued, “It’s
meaningless to keep hiding.”
Larissa pursed her lip tightly together, feeling apprehensive. Nonetheless, she proceeded to wash
away the flour on her hand before asking, “What kind of disadvantage would Edmund bring me?”
Recalling the old adage that stated, “Know thyself and thy enemy, and you shall win every battle,”
Larissa believed that being aware of what Edmund might do to her would allow her to be prepared.
“I don’t know.” Kevan took off the apron. He usually communicated with Cody while Edmund had been
studying abroad. He only came back when Kevan was in Covenford.
“No matter what, just be careful.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoland didn’t host them in his main house but in an annex designated for entertaining guests. While it
appeared like a regular living room. it was twice the size of a typical one.
As Larissa entered the room, she immediately noticed the presence of another woman besides Cody
and Edmund, The woman sat obediently by Cody’s side, holding a teacup in her hand but did not take
a sip.
“Grandpa, Cody, Ruby, Edmund.” Kevan took the initiative to greet them.
When the woman heard him, she instantly looked up and stared at him with a burning gaze. Her eyes
seemed almost glued to his presence.
Observing Ruby’s reaction, Larissa couldn’t help but feel a sense of displeasure. In a deliberate move,
she positioned herself closer to Kevan and even took hold of his arm. Kevan paused, glancing at her,
and upon seeing her glare toward Ruby, he felt a warm and contented sensation in his heart, finding
happiness in her possessive display.
