“Sure.” Larissa agreed pleasantly. “Let’s go outside and take a look around.”
The warm rays of the alternoon sun shone or them brighty, relieving the chill of wir ter considerably.
Larissa had to squint due to the bright outdoors,
After she walked a short distance with Reuben, she suddenly felt the urge to yawn and covered her
mouth.
“Feeling tired?” Reuben asked.
“A little.” Larissa replied, wiping the tears that appeared in the corner of her eyes.
She settled down on a bench beside the winding path and gazed into the distance, saying, “The
courtyard isn’t that big, so you can explore on your own. When you’re done. let’s go inside together.”
Standing in front of Larissa, Reuben’s height was tall enough to cast a shadow on her, blocking the
sunlight that was directly shining into her eyes.
“You’re not showing me around?” he asked, pu zzed, Reuben seemed surprised that Larissa’s attitude
was so much different from when they were indoors
“Tube honest with you, Mr. Cole.” Larissa gave him a formal smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Xavier
kidnapped me and brought me from Covenford to meet you for this blind date. I’ve already married
once in Covenford and I’m currently preparing for my secord wedding. Furthermore, I’m not Yvette’s
niece, but her illegitimate daughter born out of wedlock. I had no idea who my father was. Mr. Cole,
both you and your lather have been deceived, I don’t know what deal the Seymour family made with
you, but you should cut your losses while you still have a chance.”
Larissa wasn’t certain il Yvette’s intentions were as she suspected, that’s why she had to co everything
in her power to sabotage her mother’s plans.
Reuben seemed to be greatly shocked.
His jaw dropped open as he stare
stared at Larissa blankly.
Tm hearing all this for the first time.” he murmured.
“You live and learn, Larissa advised him eamesly. It’s better for you to stay away from the Seymour
family and especially awold dealing with them in business matters. Sooner or later, you’ll end up
conned by them.”
Reuben sat down beside her and asked curiously. “But why are you telling me all this? Aren’t you afraid
that the Seymour family will harm you?”
“It’s because you’re a good person!” Larissa beamed.
At that moment, her eyes were dazzling brightly as the sunlight shone on her face.
Reuben was dumbfounded by her beauty.
“You helped me out just now, that’s why I help you in return. Of course I’m doing this for my own sake
as well. Larissa spoke openly and honestly.
Reuben snapped out of his daze.
Smiling bitter, he said, “Our marriage is bound to happen. It’s something that we can’t stop.”
“Why?” Larissa leaped up from the bench in surprise. “If you just tell your father the truth, wouldn’t he
break off the deal with the Seymour family?
“The Cole family is rife with secrets as well, not unlike the Seymour family,”
Placing his hands behind his back, Reuben gazed up at the blue sky.
“The Cole family and the Seymour family depend on each other for survival Behind this partnership lies
the exchange of mutual benefits, This marriage is simply a quarantee to ensure the continuity of the
strategic alliance. The Cole family has no interest in your background. as long as the Seymour family
acknowledges you as one of their own, it’s enough. The only thing I can do is to delay the wedding as
much

as possible.”
Reuben’s words left Larissa feeling completely deflated. She was filled with regret.
Il she had known things would come to this, she should have gone to City Hall that day and registered
her marriage to Kevan!
Although she wasn’t in love with Kevan, at least she would be free from the Seymour family’s control.
She wouldn’t be a helpless pawn, manipulated according to their fancles.
“There are a few more things I need to remind you of Reuben sald, turning around with a serious look
on his face. “First lock your doors at night and try not to go out alone. Secondly, don’t do anything I ask
you to do, especially in front of other people. Don’t even eat anything that is given to you.”
“What do you mean?” Larissa couldn’t understand his instructions.
However, Reuben didn’t answer her question.
He stood up and patted out the wrinkles on his clothes.
Looking in the direction of the house, he said, “We’ve been out for long enough. It’s time to go back
inside.”
