Chapter 409

Aster was an obedient child. He wouldn’t even hold another girl’s hand if there wasn’t any need to do so. That was why he felt very uncomfortable when Bethany kissed him against his will.

In the eyes of other adults, childish interactions like these between children might seem harmless, and some might even find it adorable, but Larissa didn’t feel the same way Having said that, she didn’t think that Bethany was guilty of sexual harassment either.

Based on what she knew about her personality, Bethany was probably a spoiled kid at home.

Moreover, her family might not have paid much attention to interactions between boys and girls.

Considering the girl’s personality, it seemed likely that she had been spoiled by her elders at home, and the family might not have given much importance to this issue The reason why Bethany kissed you is probably because she likes you. Don’t be angry with her, okay?” Larissa explained to Aster patiently, “But in the future, if she tries to kiss you again, you have to tell her clearly that girls should not randomly kiss boys, okay?”

Aster nodded obediently, saying, “Okay.”

The next day, Larissa hurried to the kindergarten and managed to pick Aster up before 7 pm.

As soon as Aster saw her, he threw himself into Larissa’s arms, tears streaming down his face.

“What’s wrong?” Larissa anxiously questioned as she squatted down and wiped the tears away from his face.

Biting his lower lip, Aster remained silent.

His homeroom teacher emerged behind him and spoke apologetically, “Aster was bitten by a classmate, a young girl. I’ve already reprimanded her, but…‘

The teacher pursed her lips, her gaze flickering with uncertainty as she hesitated.

Larissa blurted out the first thought that came to her mind, “Is that classmate a girl named Bethany?”

Larissa couldn’t think of anyone else other than her.

The homeroom teacher widened her eyes in surprise. “Yes, how did you know?”

“Aster mentioned her to me yesterday.” Larissa didn’t go into details.

The homeroom teacher let out a long sigh.

“Bethany is quite a willful child. She’s been spoiled by her family, and her mother’s personality is no better. In her class, she often bullies her classmates. She plays mean tricks on them and even goes as far as to physically beat up the boys. The parents had complained about her, but no one could do anything because of her family’s influence and reputation Some of them couldn’t stand her anymore and requested to transfer classes or even change schools because of her. However, because so many students have transferred out of our class. the principal made a rule that transferring classes is no longer allowed”

Upon hearing her last sentence, Larissa found herself with no alternative but to keep Aster in the same class, as transferring him was not an option.

“Can you give me the contact information for Bethany’s parents? I wish to have a word with them.”

Larissa could only try to solve the problem from another angle.

The homeroom teacher smiled bitterly.

“It’s not a problem to give you her mother’s contact information. To be honest with you, all the teachers in our class and most of the parents have already tried talking to Bethany’s mother.

However, she is very headstrong and refuses to admit that Bethany is at fault. She often puts the blame on other children for her daughter’s misbehavior. Even if you called her, there is no use.”

Despite this, Larissa insisted on getting Bethany’s mother’s phone number.

Back home, Aster seemed to be in a depressed state.

Although Larissa had bought him his favorite burger and fried chicken, her attempts to cheer him up failed.

Finally, Larissa sat Aster on her lap and hugged him tightly. In a soft voice, she asked. “Tell me, why did Bethany bite you?”

Upon hearing this, Aster began to cry again “She wanted to kiss me.” he sniffled, “I didn’t let her, so she got angry and bit my arm.”

He raised his right arm to show Larissa.

There was a faint bite mark on the inner side of his arm, close to his wrist.

The fact that the marks hadn’t faded after so long showed that it was quite a severe bite.

Larissa could feel the anger welling up within her instantly.
