Chapter 624
Sweet Subterfuge
Kevan fried the marinated beet. He also cooked the prawns that had been cleaned. Then, he coated the prawns with a sauce made from Greek yogurt and lemon juice. He also prepared the sweet potatoes and quickly whipped up some scrambled eggs.
The spaghetti was ready by then, so he served two helpings and brought them to Aster, Aster was already eagerly waiting in the dining room âWhoa!â Aster couldnât help but drool, but he refrained from picking up his utensils until Kevan sal down.
âDaddy, you should go ahead and eat first!â Although he was speaking to Kevan, his eyes were locked on the mouthwatering skewered meat.
Kevan smiled and picked up a piece of skewered meat, placing it on Asterâs plate. âGive it a try and tell me how it tastes.â
The meat had cooled down by then. Aster grabbed the skewer and took a big bite. The seasoning smeared all over his mouth. However, he seemed oblivious to it. With a big thumbs up, he exclaimed.
âThis is the most delicious thing Iâve ever eaten!â
Even though it sounded like he was buttering Kevan up in an exaggerated way, it still pleased Kevan.
âIf you like Iâll make it for you again in the future,â Kevan promised.
Aster jumped up with excitement and hugged Kevenâs neck, leaving an olly kiss on Kevanâs cheek.
âYouâre the best, Caddy!â
Kevan wasnât bothered at all instead, he smiled and asked. âDo you love Daddy more than Mommy?â
Aster responded calmly. âI love you both the same! Youâre both my favorite people!â
Kevan patted his head and praised. âThatâs my boy. Remember to say these things in front of Mommy too, okay?â
Earlier. Aster had asked him a question he couldnât give a definite answer to. He didnât even know when he would be able to win Larissa over. So he could only tell Aster, you can make Mommy believe that I can be a good daddy to you, maybe sheâll accept me sooner. Then, I can truly become your real daddy.â
To Larissa. Aster was the most important person. She always tried her best to fulfill his requests. It was just that Kevan wasnât sure it she would compromise on this matter.
Aster enjoyed every dish Kevan made. Together, they cleared all the plates.
After the meal, Aster lay on the couch, holding his round tummy. Meanwhile, Kevan washed the dishes and then took out some fruit from the fridge. He brought them into the living room after carefully washing and cutting them into pieces.
Although Aster claimed he was full, he quickly changed his mind. He crawled over to Kevan and used a fork to eat a strawberry. Immediately, he lasted the sweet juice. His eyes squirted with enjoyment.
Kevan couldnât help but let out a laugh at the sight. He grabbed a tissue and gently wiped the red juice from Asterâs mouth, his eyes filled with tenderness.
When Wendy entered the room, this was the scene that greeted her. It was so heartwarming that she didnât want to disturb them, Eventually, Kevan noticed her presence. Although he had never met Wendy in person, he had a thick stack of information about her in his drawer. So, recognizing her wasnât a difficult task for him.
âHello, Ms. Simmons. Youâre back early today,â Kesan greeted her with a courteous smile.
According to Aster, Wendy usually got home around 6 pm, but today, it wasnât even 5 pm, Originally, Kevan had planned to leave before Wendy arrived, as he wasnât particularly lond of Interacting with strangers, even If she was Larissaâs close friend and Asterâs godmother. However, since they bumped into each other, he fell Il was only right to be friendly and make a good impression.
