Kevan narrowed his eyes, Bethany was likely to tum out badly with such poor parenting. While he wouldnât harm her, he also wouldnât go out of his way to direct her to the right path either. What she would become in the future was completely up to her
Larissaâs heart sank as she listened. She advised. âBethany is still young, and her laws can be corrected slowly. You just need more patience. I see you have plenty of patience with Aster, and you seem to know how to interact with children.â
âThatâs because I like Aster.â Kevanâs smile softened as he mentioned Aster. âAster is a good kid. Heâs good-looking and well-behaved. unlike Bethany.â
She naturally felt happy and proud upon hearing him praise Aster. In response, she complimented with a guilty conscience, saying.â Actually, Bethany isnât that ugly, if she were to lose weight, she would definitely look prettier.â To be honest, even if they overlooked all other physical imperfections, her small eyes wouldnât become larger even with the weight loss. 1

Larissa stood at the door, observing the scene with mixed emotions. He was cold and indifferent to Bethany, yet gentle and loving toward Aster, What was he thinking?
She was lost in her thoughts when Kevan came out of the room. He carefully closed the door and smiled at Larissa. âIâm leaving.â
She saw him off until he entered the elevator. The moment she closed the door, she quickly called Wendy and told her all the details of what Kevan did to Aster.
âDo you think something is wrong with Kevan?â
