Chapter 749
Sweet Subterfuge
When Larissa entered the apartment, Wendy and Aster were screaming together. They were hugging each other for some reason. It nearly blew Larissaâs eardrums out Larissa turned on the lights. The warm yellow color lit up the space at once.
âWhat on earth are you doing at this time of the night instead of sleeping?â Larissa frowned. âDid you see a ghost or something?â
Seeing that it was Larissa, Wendy and Aster let out a sigh of reliel. They let go of each other.
âI was watching Komanâ with your son.â Wendyâs heart was still pounding, was so scary! I almost died because of it Aster immediately scomed her. âYouâre such a scaredy cat, Godma. It wasnât scary at a âWho screamed because he was scared then?â Wendy did not spare his dignity as she pinched his nose. She scolded him, âKid, if you lie. your nose will grow longer!
Aster batted her hands away. He touched his nose like he was checking to see if it grew longer.
Larissa took one step forward.
Kevan linally entered the apartment.
âSit here. Iâll help you with your shoes. Kevan helped Larissa to sit on the stool at the entrance hall.
Just as he was about to crouch down. a little figure shot to his side and hugged his leg as he shouted, âDaddy!â
Kevan turned to smile at Aster. âWait first. Daddy will help Mommy change into her slippers.â
âFine.â Aster pouted and stopped aside.
Larissa, who had been ignored, glared at Aster. She huffed and complained. âI was here for so long, and you didnât even say hi!â
Aster threw himself at her with a huge smile on his face.
Larissa pretended to push him away and looked unhappy. âYou only love your daddy now. You donât care about Mommy anymore.â
âNo way!â Aster hugged her neck. He refused to let go no matter how Larissa tried to peel him off of her. âI love Mommy the most!â He tumed to plant a wel kiss on her cheek. âI got scared earlier, so I didnât react last enough. Mommy, donât get mad at me!â
Larissa squished Asterâs lace. She hulled, though the softness of his cheeks made her reluctant to stop.
While Aster and Larissa were speaking, Kevan was on one knee in front of Larissa. He helped her take off the fats that she was wearing. They were from his car, and they just so happened to be the right size.
Wendy came over when she smelled the medicine on her. She saw Larissaâs swollen ankle. âWhy is your leg injured again?â
âWhat? Whose leg is injured? Aster was more agitated than anyone else.
Wendy jerked her chin at Larissa and said, âWho else? Your clumsy mommy of course!â
Aster crawled down from Larissaâs body, and when he saw her ankle, he started crying He crouched next to Larissa, reaching out like he was going to touch the swollen bit. But he pulled back again because he was scared of hurting her.
âMommy, does it hurt?â He prified as he looked up at her Larissa did not feel any pain in her ankle. But she definitely felt pain for her boy in her heart.
âNo, no!â she said. âI can walk. Let me show your Alas, the moment she tried to stand, Kevan pressed her back down from her shoulder. He stared at her and said, âYou really want to have your leg broken, huh?â
Larissa became obedient at once. She sat there and waited for him to put on her slippers.
Aster fell silent too. He wiped his tears and waited for her.
âI have to get to the company early in the morning. Have fun chalting you three. Iâm going to sleep first.â
She waved her hand. âAster still needs to go to school tomorrow. Keep yourselves in check, you two. Donât be too late=â
Wendyâs smile was rasly.
Larissa picked up the shoe on the floor and threw it at her.
