I can go alone,” Violet Suggested.

Being alone with Kevan now seemed like a terrifying idea to Larissa. Although she wasn’t fond of going

to Berard’s house either, she insisted on going along. Tim fine, don’t worry.”

Bernard’s house was located in a nearby residential arra. It took only a little over ten minutes to drive

there.

“We’re missing one person! WIL For Ruby join us? Mancy sp

“Lari, why don’t you play with them? Ruby wilingly gave up her seat. I have to prepare dinner for

everyone?

Nancy gave her a thumbs up and praised! ellusively. “Ruby is such a virtuous woman: She’s even

cooking dinner for us personally!”

Blushing, Ruby smiled. “It’s a rare opportunity for everyone in the family to gather together. Having a

home-c ocked dinner would add to

the festive atmosphere.”

“I do hope Paul will mamy someone like Ruby in the future! Then, I can die without any regrets Nancy

continued.

Ruby chided playfully. “Aunt Nancy, don’t say that You make me feel embarrassed”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? I’m speading the truth!” Nancy gave Larissa a meaningful

glance. “Young women nowadays rarely know how to cook! They’re all too pampered and lazy”

The two of them continued their banter while Marks istened with a satisfied smile on her lace.

On the other hand, Volet and Larissa ignored the other three women and made no response.

Larissa knew how to play poker, but she wasn’t good at II. She was no match for the three older

women who were avid poker players.

Before long hall of her poker chips were gone from her drawer,

Edmund came over and pulled out a chair to sit beside her,

Maria asked. ‘Why are you the only one who came up? What about Cody and Kewan?”

“Cody said he fell a bit tired, so he went back to the room to rest. Kevan is watching the television in

the living room, Fdmund answered.

“What’s he watching? Violet sounded displeased. “Ering him up herr and ask him to leach his wile how

Nancy chimed in, “Exactly! For Kevan, this small amount of money is just like a crop in the bucket

Ignoring their sarcastic remarks, Violet insisted. “Edmund, go and bring Kewan up here!”

Edmund went out obediently.

A few minutes later, he returned, but he was alone.

Molet astre, “Where is Revan?

Edmund shrugged his shoulders. “He’s not in the lyng room anymore. I looked around but couldn’t find

him. Besides, Ruby isn’t in the kitchen rither. I don’t know where they all went.”

Nancy socke up, “I think I heard the sound of a car engine being started downstairs. Maybe they went

out in the car?”

Edmund walked to the window and took a look, “Indeed, Kevan’s carls gone.”

Violet’s expression froze as she looked at Larissa anxiously.

Meanwhile. Larissa seemed unflappable. She was fully concentrating on the poker cands in her hands.
