When they argued, Larissa lell extremely uneasy. Dylan was using disposable items like a guest while

she was

Lost in her thoughts, Larissa absentmindedly cut into the steak, resulting in a jarring sound as the knife

grated against the plate. Both Kevan and Dylan’s gazes snapped to her.

For a moment, even Larissa was shocked.

“Finding it difficult to sink your teeth into?” Dylan jested, a teasing tone in his voice.

“Not Larissa quickly denied, her gaze shifting towards Kevan. Then, she lowered her head and added,

“The sleak is delicious.”

Kevan’s culinary skills exceeded her expectations. The steak was cooked to perfection, and he had

even made the black pepper sauce himself from scratch. Remarkably, the sauce had an impeccable

taste, comparable to that of high–end restaurants.

Kevan seemed to have read her mind and explained, “I bought the slippers because I found them

adorable. Since no other woman has visited my place, I thought you could wear them. If you prefer

disposable slippers, you can wear those too. As for the cutlery, you can also use disposable ones, but it

will be difficult to cut the steak,”

Then, a playful smile spread across his face as he teasingly Inquired. “Larissa, don’t tell me you

actually think that I have feelings for you?”

Larissa’s face grew even redder as her thoughts were exposed. His mocking demeanor made her feel

ashamed of hersell for overthinking.

“Don’t worry. I will simply play my part and not let it go beyond that,” he reassured, and in the same

breath, said, “I hope you’ll do the same.

Larissa tightened her grip on the cutlery and forced out an answer. “Okay.”

However, Kevan’s expression grew even more unpleasant upon hearing her response. As for Larissa,

she lowered her head and focused on devouring the steak. She wanted to finish the meal as quickly as

possible and escape from the house.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Dylan slowed down his pace of eating the lobster. He

cleared his throat and changed the topic. saying. “By the way, I visited the Juvenson District police

station today.”

“Why did you go there? Larissa asked after forcefully swallowing the remaining meat.

“It’s for another domestic violence case. However, while I was there, I also inquired about the progress

of Travis Hardy’s case. Ollicer Sanders told me that the Hardy family suddenly changed their

statement. They claimed that Travis couldn’t be cured and didn’t have enough money, so he took his

own life. As a result, the case was closed. But something doesn’t sit right with me. Even if that was why

have,” Dylan explained, his lips pursed with concern.

Larissa remained silent. She could do a lot with one million dollars, but who knew how long the money

would last? However, the Hardy family wasn’t her biggest problem now. Instead, it was her mother. She

couldn’t imagine what Yvette would do when she was furious.

In just ten minutes. Larissa finished her steak. As she set down her cutlery, she couldn’t help but notice

that Kevan still had half of his

steak remaining on his plate.

“I’m done.” Larissa announced, wiping her mouth with a napkin. “Thank you for the dinner, Mr. Rogers.

It’s gelling late, and I should head

back.”

Although she was talking to Kevan, she dared not look at him.

On the side, Dylan was engrossed in the lobster. When he heard what she said, he widened his eyes in

shock. “You ate so little?”

Larissa touched her half–full stomach and smiled. “I try not to eat too much at night. I’ll get lat.”

Kevan knew she was lying but didn’t expose her,

“Pay attention to your safety and call me if there’s anything.” he reminded her.

“Okay,” Larissa nodded. Then, as she changed into her shoes, an unexpected pang of bitterness

washed over her heart. Before she left. she put the car key on the shoe cabinet.
