Larissa was stunned. She collected hersell a few seconds later and glanced al Kevan subconsciously.
He was also looking at her.
seemingly waiting for her response. His gaze was intense, causing her to avert her gaze. She was more than willing to take her son to the movie, but she found hersell in a predicament when it involved Kevan.
âItâs getting late today, so She crouched down, trying to reason with Aster, saying âHow about we wait until Iâm free, and we can go together then?
Naturally. Aster disagreed. âBut I want to go today! He resorted to tactics children his age would use-
throwing a tantrum. However, it was the first time ne cid that, so he wasnât very skiled. He looked lunny when he was contorting his little body and making faces.
She couldnât hep but laugh upon seeing that. Kevan camed in, âWeâre already here, and itâs not that late yet. Aster doesnât have to go to school tomorrow. So, letâs just make his wish come true.â
Aster intensed his effort after seeing Kevan try to persuade his mom. âYear! Letâs make my wish come true, Mommy!â
She couldnât help but feel relieved watching them both, It was a good thing that Kevan wasnât Asterâs biological father. Otherwise, she could imagine how spoiled Aster would be under Kevanâs influence.
âAright, alright!â In the end. she gave in.
Aster glanced at Kevan and winked quietly making a victory sign, Kevan smirked and rullled Asterâs hair. âWhat a mischievous kid!â he
thought.
It was summer break for elementary and middle school students. so many animated moves were playing. Larissa simply picked one and was about to purchase the tickets when Aster grabbed her.
âThis one is too childish.â He furrowed his brows, clearly showing his disdain,
She couldnât help but laugh, seeing his attempt to act maturely. âThen, pick what you want to watch and buy the tickets yoursell. She handed him the phone.
He then took the phone and turned around. After a while, he returned with tickets and the phone in his hand.
âTa-da!â He proudly held the tickets in front of her.
She examined them closely. âForever Loveâ? Wasnât this the typical teenage romance lilm?
âAre you sure you want to watch this?â she asked. She highly doubted if Aster even knew what he had bought. After al, he hardly recognized any words.
âYesâ He nodded vigorously and said. âThis guyâs handsome, and the woman is pretty. So, this movie must be great
Larissa started to regret giving him the choice to choose-she thought he would pick an animated movie.
âWell, you might not understand this one.â She wanted to say!
by that the movie might be inappropriate for children but refrained from doing so because Aster did not even know what inappropriateâ meant. She would have lo ao through the trouble of explaining it to him.
âHow about we watch an animated movie? What about this one? âRobot Allianceâ? It has good reviews, and both adults and children like ILâ
âRobots are so boring! Aster simply wouldnât isien. âI only want this!â He tightened his grip on the movie ticket and started throwing a lit exclaiming. âI only want this!â
She was starting to get imitated, but she held back her anger since Kevan was present and they were in public. She agreed patiently,â Okay, then, weâll watch this. But donât leave in the middle of the movie ill you donât lind Il good.â
Asterâs face instantly lit up with excitement. âOkay!â
Kevan bought popcom and drinks, hugging them with one arm while holding Aster with the other hand.
The three of them had seats next to each other, with Aster seated on the far end, Kevan in the middle, and Larisa next to Kevan
Aster was very content with such an arrangement. He couldnât help but stifle a laugh when the lights in the theater dimmed.
Kevan, who was sitting in the middle, held the popcorn in his arms, making it easy for Larissa and Aster to reach for it. However, len
