Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo
Chapter 367

Seeing her hand coming over, Muffin's eyes fixed themselves on it as she shifted into a crouch, preparing herself to pounce. Ruby immediately let go out of fear.

"The bodyguard's with you. Don't be afraid." Kevan smiled, soothing her gently.

Dylan looked at his watch and spoke up just at the right time. "Mr. Rogers, I have a video call appointment with a client at 1:30 pm. Could you please send me back to the hotel first?"

"Of course." Kevan agreed at once. He said to Ruby with some helplessness, "Well, we'll be going then. After you're done at the hospital, call me."

Ruby reluctantly said, "Okay."

...

The moment he was in the car, Kevan dumped Muffin on Dylan's lap, which startled the hell out of the latter. He leaned back, arms held safely out of the way as he exclaimed fearfully, "Could you please put it in the backseat?"

Kevan eyed him and chortled. "Scaredy-cat!" He then added, "This cat's stupid. It won't claw at you at random."

"Who are you kidding?!" Dylan glared as he accused him, "Do you think I'm blind? I saw how it clawed at Ruby for sure!"

The moment he said that, Muffin looked up and meowed at him twice. Her deep blue eyes showed cluelessness as if she was wondering what he was talking about. Dylan looked down at her and held his breath out of fear. But she did not go crazy after a long wait.

Muffin licked her paws before curling up in his lap, going to sleep peacefully, which confused the heck out of Dylan.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked Kevan.

"I told you-it won't claw at you at random." Kevan's gaze remained fixed on the front as he drove steadily.

"Then why did it claw at Ruby?" Dylan was still shaken up from the memory of that scene.

"You'd have to ask her." A cold glint appeared in Kevan's eyes.

"But speaking of which-" Dylan stared at Muffin for quite a while. "This cat is the same breed as the one you have at home, right? To be honest, though, it looks prettier than the one you have." Unable to hold himself back, Dylan carefully reached out and stroked Muffin's back. Seeing that she did not react, he stroked her with more force, before rubbing her back. Muffin remained fast asleep. Kevan could not bear to hear people speaking badly about his kitten, so he mocked Dylan for being blind. Dylan did not bother squabbling with him as a cat's beauty was a rather subjective matter. Everyone had their own opinion on beauty after all.

"What did you mean when you said that you were going to take this cat back to Larissa? Is this Larissa's cat?" Dylan then asked again.

"It's a gift from my mom to Larissa. Ruby liked it, so I gave it to her." Kevan pressed his lips tightly together.

"Are you insane?!" Agitated, Dylan failed to control his voice's volume. "Have you ever thought that you will only push Larissa further away from you like this?"

Of course, he did, but he had no choice.

"This is Ruby's way of testing me," Kevan said.

She was testing him for whether or not he had her or Larissa in his heart.
