Chapter 425
Sweet Subterfuge
âSmile for the camera?
Immediately, Aster grinned widely, showing all his leath âDo you like this toy?â Dylan asked..
Aster nodded vicerously. âI love it!â
âAlright, you can continue playing!â After Oylan spoke, he kept the camera rolling and lived on Aster.
It was only when he heard the door to the study open that he quickly stopped the recording.
By then, more than an hour had passed.
When she finished replying to all her emails, Larissa noticed that it was already late and instructed Aster to go to bed.
Reluctantly, Aster packed the building blocks back into the box, After saying goodbye to Dylan, he went back to his room unwillingly.
On the other hand, Dylan remained seated on the sola leisurely, showing no signs of getting up to leave.
âYou should leave now.â Lanssa reminded him straightforwardly that he had overstayed his welcome.
However, Dylan didnât move an inch, chilling on the sofa as if he were in his own home.
âThereâs no rush,â he remarked.
Larissa almost burst into laughter at his audacity.
âEven if youâre net in a hurry, I am. Your wife is probably worried about you.â
When Larissa mentioned Sharonâs name, the smile on Dylanâs face wavered.
âShe wonât be worried, We donât live together.â
Although Larissa found their marriage dynamics strange, she wasnât curious enough to ask about it.
âIm getting tired,â she said.
should be heard from Aster that you havenât been sleeping these days, staying up by his bed all night.â
Dylan nodded.
Larissa was stunned momentarily So, Aster knew about it.
âAster invited me here because he wanted me to persuade you to get some proper sleep. He said that he was too young, and you would only comfort him and wouldnât truly listen to his advice. Larissa. I know that my words might not necessarily get through to you, but donât you feel sorry for your son? He has been worrying about your health while suffering from discomfort and pain Dylan said in a sincere yet serious tone.
Every sentence struck deep into Larissaâs heart, She was still slightly apprehensive after the experience of passing out that moming and decided she had to compromise. âIll sleep during the day, then.â At night, she had to stay up and watch Aster.
âLarissa, why do you make things so difficult for yoursell?iring a nanny wouldnât cost much! Besides, relative to your current income, such a small amount should be inconsequential to you!â Dylan said, perplexed.
Of course, Larissa wasnât worried about the money.
She cared about Asterâs leelings more.
She never had the luxury of experiencing parental love, thus she spared no expense and effort in pouring out her love on Aster.
If he were wel, then she wouldnât be so concemed, but now, he was down with chickenpox Il she had decided to hire a nanny to care for Aster, she wouldnât have applied for leave from her job in the first place.
âHiring a nanny doesnât mean that you donât love Aster. On the other hand, it would give you more energy to spend quality time with him. You can hire a nanny to watch over Aster at night so that both of you can have suficient sleep. You may not know, but Aster doesnât sleep well at night either. He would wake up from sleep just to check on you, making sure that you were asleep.â Dylan tried to convince her.
His last sentence touched Larissa. She could stay up late several days without sleep, but Asler couldnât âIâll look for a nanny tomorrow,â she said.
*Thereâs no need for all that trouble. I can introduce you to the lady who comes in to prepare my meals.
Sheâs worked for me for the past six years, and I can vouch for her character. Moreover, she used to work as a confinement nurse previously, so she has a lot of experience in caring for children. I talk to her and ask her to come over directly after cooking dinner for me every night. It wouldnât be too troublesome for her,â Dylan continued.
Back in Covenford, Dylan had already hired a personal cook for himself. He never changed this habit even after so many years..
Larissa had no reason to doubt Dylanâs sterling review of his employee as he was not an easy boss to work for.
âSure,â she agreed without hesitation, âTell her to come tomorrow. I discuss the salary with her in person.â
