“During dinner just now. you were lost in thought with a sad expression.” Kevan reminded her.
Larissa realized what he was referring to and felt flustered. She didn’t want to tell him the truth, so she used Wendy
as a shield. To make it seem more believable, she said with a pout.
“I’m sad because Wendy won’t bring her friend back to meet me. Even though we are best friends and I tell her
