"Oh, really? I haven't noticed." He struggled to maintain a calm facade.Violet retorted with a touch of annoyance, "Of course, you haven't!" "When was the last time you dug out those childhood photos I took of you and looked at them? "I bet you don't even remember what you looked like as a child."This was actually true.Violet remembered something else and asked, "Oh, by the way, is Lari coming over later?""She probably won't. How about you give her a call?" He lowered his head in thought before looking up with a mischievous glint in his eyes.Violet knew exactly what her son was thinking, having carried him for nine months. Since she had been missing seeing Larissa around, she might as well play along with his plan."Let's wait until tonight. She's probably working right now," she suggested.… However, Violet's guess was incorrect.Once the driver had dropped off Larissa and Lewis at the hotel, he left them with some parting words, "Mr. Ackley mentioned that the two

As soon as the door was opened, Violet sprang up from the sofa and hurried over. Larissa entered the house first. When she looked up, the first thing she saw was Violet's joyful face. Taken aback, Larissa greeted Violet immediately, "Mrs. Rogers!" "Hi!" Violet took some house slippers from the shoe cabinet and helped Larissa put them on. After that, she then looked her up and down. "Lari, you've lost weight!" Violet exclaimed, her eyes shimmering with tears. Larissa laughed awkwardly and looked to Kevan for help. Violet's reaction was too much for her to handle. She didn't know how to comfort her. "That's enough." Kevan interrupted the emotional moment. He grabbed Larissa's hand from his mother's and held it in his palm. "She would rather lose weight than gain it." He wasn't wrong in saying that, it's just that he was too blunt. Larissa didn't dare to agree and forced a dry laugh. Kevan handed some tissues to Violet and said, "Today is a happy occasion. You shouldn't spoi

Kevan's heart thumped violently in his chest. He took a step forward and embraced her. Burying his face in her shoulder, he said in a hoarse and muffled voice, "Lari." Kevan had so many things he wanted to say to her, but he was afraid that expressing his true emotions would scare her away. In the end, he half-threatened her jokingly. "You can never escape from me for the rest of your life." Larissa hadn't even considered running away. She hugged him back tightly. Before Larissa could tease him about it, she caught sight of Kevan's parents and Aster out of the corner of her eye. They were watching them eagerly through the window with expressions of interest on their faces. Startled, Larissa pushed Kevan away. In her haste, she bumped into his arm. Kevan took a sharp breath and a look of pain flashed across his face. Larissa didn't have time to reprimand the three of them for spying. She rushed to support Kevan. "What's wrong?" she asked, scanning his arm for any sig

If Blue Star Shipping could secure Thompson Medical as a client, the annual revenue for the entire year would be guaranteed. Thompson Medical's office building was located at the innermost part of the industrial park. It was a simple four-story building. By its exterior, no one would believe that it was the headquarters of the famous Thompson Medical. The interior of the office building was plain. There were no luxurious decorations, not even an elevator. Richard brought Lewis and Larissa to the fourth floor. It was where Mr. Ackley's office was located. "Mr. Ackley, Mr. Lewis and Ms. Larissa of Blue Star Shipping have arrived." Richard knocked on the door of one of the rooms. The office was not large, not even half as big as Lewis' office. There was a desk and a few cabinets for files. A man in his sixties sat behind the desk. There were wrinkles on his face and most of his hair had gone white, but he looked healthy and energetic. This man was the CEO of Thompson Med

"Will Kevan be going back with you?" Sharon asked again. Larissa hadn't discussed this with Kevan, and he hadn't mentioned it to her either. "I'm not sure. He came back because there were some matters in the company to handle. He might have to wait until those are taken care of." Sharon couldn't help but curse, "What is he handling? He's already handed over all the company affairs to Dylan! Now Dylan sleeps at the company every day. I hardly get to see him once a week!" Larissa finally understood why Sharon was so resentful of Kevan. However, she remembered that Dylan and Sharon had a poor relationship the last time she returned to Caldor. Larissa wondered how their relationship had improved so dramatically in such a short time. "Well …" Larissa felt a little awkward. Whether stayed or left wasn't something she could decide. "How about I talk to Kevan later and ask him to stay in Caldor for a little longer?" she suggested to Sharon. Nonetheless, it might not have much effec
