Sweet Subterfuge
Chapter 502
Kevan left the house with Larissa and Aster
It was the day of Rolandâs funeral procession to the cemetery. Although he had missed the burial ceremony, he still wanted to pay his last
Larissa was worried about his health and initially wanted him to rest a little longer before leaving.
However, after he explained his reasons to her, Larissa didnât insist further.
The three of them parted ways downstairs.
Larissa and Aster got into the car. Meanwhile, Kevan walked home alone.
He had only walked a few steps when Larissa, who was still concerned, called after him and reminded him, âIf youâre still feeling unwell, call me right away.â
Turning around. Kevan gave her a nod and a reassuring smile. âAlrightâ
As the car drove by. Aster lowered the car window and shouted in Kevanâs direction. âUncle Kevan!
Donât forget to come and play with me tonight!â
Kneeling in the backseat of the car, he waved excitedly at Kevan
Stopping in his tracks, Kevan raised his hand and waved back,
In a loud voice, he replied, âI will
As the car had driven further away, Aster leaned out of the car window and shouted at the top of his lungs so that Kevan could hear him,â Itâs a promiser
Leaning out of the car window was extremely dangerous.
Larissa hurriedly pulled Aster back into the car and wound up the window, but Asterâs excitement had not subsided yet.
He asked Larissa eagerly, âMommy, can I invite Uncle Kevan over to accompany me every night?â
She refused flatly. âNo! Iâve told you before that Uncle Kevan is very busy with work. Besides, he has his own child to take care of.â
The reason Larissa deliberately brought up Bethany was to make Aster give up hope on Kevan and also to wake herself up from her o rown delusions.
When she saw how intimate Aster and Kevan were earlier, a dangerous thought appeared in her mind involuntarily. âHow great would it be if Kevan was Asterâs father?
Consequently, Larissa felt a chill run down her spine when she gave it a second thought
She was different from Aster. He was just a child who didnât know anything and could only see the short-term benefits.
However, Larissa knew very well that she and Kevan had no future together.
Even if Aster was mesmerized by Kevan, she couldnât fall into the trap as well
She needed to be an adult and pull herself together.
Sure enough, Aster immediately deflated when Bethany was mentioned.
He asked Larissa, âDoes Uncle Kevan like Bethany more than me?â
Aster had a nervous expression on his face as he waited for her verdict.
Lanssa hardened her heart and replied, âOf course, Bethany is Uncle Kevanâs daughter. He loves her most, just like how I love you the most in this world!
Aster pouted and continued. âIl Uncle Kewan knows that I donât like Bethany, will he stop liking me?â
âWell ââ Larissa didnât know how to answer this question.
She was certain that Kevan wouldnât shun Aster just because of that, but it might make him feel slightly discomfited.
âDonât tell Uncle Kevan about this.â Larissa reminded him.
She did this out of basic courtesy and not because she didnât want to cause resentment to arise between Kevan and Aster,
Aster nodded obediently and stared at Larissa warily, âI understand, I wonât tell this to Uncle Kevan.
Mommy, you shouldnât tell him either!â
âI wonât tell him about this.â Larissa assured him.
Aster extended his pinky. âPinky promise! Lying is for losers!
