Sweet Subterfuge
Aster was hes tant to take it due to Larissaâs presence nearby. Seeing how carelut he was being.
Larissa was upset but amused at the same time âGo ahead and eatâ she said. âYou can indulge yourself for a day for Uncle Kevanâs sakeâ
Asterâs eyes brightened up at once, his eyes looking very much like stars in the sky.
âUncle Kevanâ He hugged Kevanâs arm with a hopeful expression willen all over his lace. âCan you come to our house every day?â
Larissa poked Aster. âDonât even think about it! Uncle Kevanâs busy with work. How can he come and play with you every day?â
Kevan could only smile quietly and shove his regrets into the depths of his heart.
Asterâs routine was oute regular. The moment it was 9 pm, he would voluntarily put his game controller down and go to bed obediently without needing Larissa to say anything.
Kevan helbed Larissa to put away the bags of snacks scattered all over the floor as wel as put the game controller back where it belonged.
*T be heading back now.â He retrieved his suit jacket from the sola and took one step before Larissa called out âWait-â
Her lips twitching. Larissa struggled with hersell for a bit before saving. âStay the night. You can sleep here.â
Kevanâs eyes widened in shock. âWhy?â
âDylanâs gone on a business trip. so he canât take care of youâ Larissa explained helplessly.
Earlier when Kevan and Aster were gaming together, Dylan personally called and asked her if she knew where Kevan was because heâd caled him several times but got no answer.
Larissa naturally told him the truth.
Relieved at once. Dylan said. âOh, itâs great that heâs at your place! Tell him that Iâve got a lastâminute job that I need to fly back to Covenford for I wonât be able to go to his home to take care of him.â
Larissa found it odd and asked, âWhatâs wrong? Why do you need to take care of him?â
Dylan proceeded to tell her about Kevanâs fewer yesterday.
She had on once witnessed just how serious a fever could get for Kevan, so she did not doubt Dylan, âKevan has many werd habits, and I canât hire a caregiver for him either. If Itâs convenient could you take him for a night?â Dylan requested a laver from her.
If this was before. Larissa would have relused, Fut as it was right now â to let him go home alone while illâWell she couldnât bear to let him do that. After a lot of ruminating and hesitation, she eventually agreed to Dylanâs request.
âOh.â Kevan nodded. He did not pretend to be courteous with her. âThen I have to trouble you.â He had to treasure the opportunity that Dylan had made so much effort to obtain for him.
1 Larissa let him have her bedroom. âI just squeeze in with Aster.â She took her phone charger and the clothes she would wear tomorrow before exiting the room. âIl you need anything, call me.â
âOkay.â Kevan brushed past her and entered the room. He had come over to her place several times before, but this was his first time entering her bedroom.
The apartment was rented to her by the company, so the decor was not her style at at He could not see her personality anywhere. The only things in the room that belonged to her were probably the clothes in the closet and the skincare products arranged at the head of the bed.
Kevan was not interested in these, and he never bothered to research them either. He look a quick shower and lay on the bed with only a bath towel wrapped around him.
She had just changed the sheets for him, and there was a thick scent of lavender emanating from them. He could not catch even a whiff of He closed his eyes but did not feel sleepy at all
