Chapter 407
Sweet Subterfuge
An impatient frown appeared on Larissaâs face.
âIf you need to vent about his suffering all these years, I suggest you find someone else. If you have any other intentions⦠Kevan and I are already divorced. Whatever happens to him is none of my business,â she scoffed.
For a moment, Dylan was tempted to expose Asterâs identity. Gritting his teeth, he clamped his mouth shut as Kevanâs orders resounded in his mind.
âFineâ
Larissa stopped Aster from running towards another ride as the sky gradually grew dark. âItâs getting late. We should go home.â
Aster was visibly dejected, but he replied obediently. âAlrightâ
Dylan followed after them.
At the exit of the amusement park, he saw an unwelcome visitor.
âWhat are you doing here?â Dylan demanded, a displeased expression on his face.
Sharon took two steps forward and stood in front of them.
Larissa recognized her at first glance.
Compared to their last meeting, her appearance hadnât changed much. Only her hair color had changed from chestnut to a deep maroon, curls tumbling down to her chest Due to the occasion, she wasnât dressed as formally as before. Sharon was wearing a plain Tâshirt paired with highâwaisted skinny jeans, accentuating her tall figure.
Theard that my husband brought his mistress and child to the amusement park. I came here to catch him in the act, but I never expected to meet an old acquaintance here.â Sharon chuckled and extended her hand toward Larissa. âLong time no see, Larissa.â
However, Larissaâs attention was fully focused on the word âhusband.â
Opening her mouth wide with shock, she stared at Sharon and Dylan in astonishment. âYou twoâ¦â
Sharon finished her sentence nonchalantly. Thatâs right. Weâre married.â
Larissa almost blurted out an expletive. She was completely caught off guard by the surprising news.
Sharon retracted her hand and taunted Dylan with a meaningful look âYou really disappoint me.â
Behind his glasses, Dylanâs eyes flickered coldly as he replied, âLikewise.â
Sharonâs smile froze for a moment.
Recovering, she turned to Larissa and said casually, âIt was such a coincidence that we met. How about having a meal together?â
Frankly, Larissa and Sharon werenât that close.
Her first thought was that Sharon had invited her out of courtesy, so Larissa politely declined her offer. âItâs getting late. We should have a meal next time. Aster needs to go to bed before 8 pm.â
Sharon seemed to have just noticed Aster, who was standing between Larissa and Dylan.
âIs this your child with Kevan?â she asked.
As soon as she said those words, Larissa and Dylan froze Smiling awkwardly, Larissa quickly explained, âNo. heâs a child of my best friend. Iâm helping to care for him for a few days.â
âIs that true?â Sharon scrutinized Asterâs face for quite some time. âHe looks so much like both of you. How could he not be your child?â
âThatâs enoughâ Dylan interrupted Sharonâs questioning and grabbed her hand. âWe have to go home now!â
He dragged Sharon away in a hurry, afraid she might say something she shouldnât.
He didnât even have time to say goodbye to Larissa and Aster, Watching as they walked away together, Larissa couldnât help but feel surreal.
She had only been away for five years, but it seemed like she had missed out on many things.
