Chapter 477
Sweet Subterfuge
Her thoughts were swirling for a moment.
âCan I?â Aster took one step forward and held her hand, swaying it lightly while garing at her tearfully.
Larissa couldnât bring herself to say no, but she still had her concerns. Although Ruby had been anested, she couldnât help but wonder if Ruby had had anything to do with the accident in the parking lot, it had been someone else âOkay,â she said and nodded. The kindergarten had strict regulations and no one was allowed entry or exit during class hours. As long as she sent him to school and picked him up punctually, there shouldnât be any danger.
âThatâs fantastic Aster was so happy that he launched himself into the air. He hugged Larissa and gave her a loud smooch. âMommy is the best!â
After making sure that all was quiet outside, Aster hid under the blanket and sent Kevan a voice note.
âUncle Kevan, Iâm going back to kindergarten. Good luck with work too! Letâs game together when weâre both free. How about that?â
Kevan called him straight away. âDid Mommy scold you?â he asked.
âNope,â said Aster and showed off to Kevan. âMommy is very gentle. She never scolds or smacks me.
Every time I make a mistake, she talk to me about it. Even if Larissa had smacked him, he wouldnât be as foolish as to rant about it to Kevan, He didnât want to ruin Larissaâs image in Kevanâs eyes!
Kevan suddenly recalled that Larissa used to have a pet cat. When she was with him, she would always be distant flattering, cold, or tough. Only when she was with her cat would she show a hint of her gentle side. It always made him envious. Now, she had exposed her gentle side to Astor, but she was still as distant as always toward him. He also felt as envious as always.
âIs that so?â Kevan laughed softly, but his expression grew a little dimmer.
Aster couldnât chat with him for too long. âI have to wake up early tomorrow to go to school, so I have to sleep early. Rest earlier too. Uncle Kewan. Goodnight Kevan hummed in answer and said, âGoodnight.â Then, he added in his heart, âMy dear.â
Kevan didnât know why Larissa had suddenly agreed to allow Aster to return to kindergarten. It had only been a few days since the kidnapping incident, and Kevan wasnât sure Aster was mentally ready to adapt to a place with so many people. But of course, the most important thing was âHave you found that person?â he asked the person on the other end of the cal.
âIâve only found out his identity, but not his location. Two days after the incident, he went overseas. Iâve checked his bank transactions. After he left the country, Ruby Cole transferred him five hundred thousand dollars.â
After finding out that the person was connected to Ruby, most of Kevanâs worries disappeared.
However Five hundred thousand dollars was considered a huge sum for someone like Ruby, who only laced at home with no source of income. She hadnât gotten many benefits from her divorce from Cody back then. In that period of time, he had strongly fought against Cody and Cody did not hold a high position in Soaring Corporation.
Besides, Cody had probably planned to divorce Ruby since the beginning, so he had notarized all his property before the wedding and lowered his own salary to below ten thousand dollars. Of course, he could earn more money through other sources, but Ruby was unaware of it. The court also did not find out about it, so it had naturally been unnecessary for Cody to give Ruby half his wealth during the divorce.
That was why Ruby hadnât gotten a lot of money from the divorce, Because Codyâs income was low, his alimony paid to her every month wasnât much. It would have been too much of a challenge for Ruby to fork out live hundred thousand dollars in one lump sum, There must be someone helping her behind the scenes, and her backer must beâ
