Chapter 830
Sweet Subterfuge
Allenâs words sounded a little ambiguous.
âWhatâs different? I have also come this far by leaming step by step like everyone else.â Larissa clarified in a hurry.
She was afraid that Kevan would be offended and do something overboard.
Kevan wasnât paying attention to their interactions.
At this moment, he was playing a childish game with Aster.
They were smearing whipped cream and flour on each otherâs laces.
They were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Larissa took a moment to glance over. When she saw cream on them, her temples throbbed.
âExcuse me,â she said to Allen.
Going over to the other side of the table, she pinched Asterâs ear.
In reality, she wanted to pinch Kevanâs ear instead.
However, she didnât want to embarrass him in front of everyone in the room.
âWhat are you twa doing? After the competition is over, we need to go for dinner, What if the restaurant wonât let us in now that your clothes are so dirty?â Larissa scolded with a frown.
Then we will lind one that will,â Kevan answered.
It was as if he wasnât the same person who got the housekeeping staff fired over a small Imperfection in his hotel room.
Aster was initially frightened by Larissaâs threat As soon as he saw Kevan backing him up, he pulled away from Larissa and threw himsell into Kevanâs arms.
He chimed in with a retort, âWe will find one that will let us in!â
Larissa was loo lurious to say a word.
Before she could react, Kevan scraped some cream with his linger and smeared it at the corner of Larissaâs mouth.
Then, he highâfived Aster, Both of them had triumphant looks on their faces for their successful prank.
Larissa should have fell angry, but when she saw the happiness on their faces, she relented.
Finally, Aster shed the maturity he had beyond his years and showed his child sh side.
Larissa couldnât help smiling.
Under Kevanâs company, Asterâs transformation was evident to all.
Although Larissa sometimes found it annoying, she felt comforted by Asterâs change.
She became more convinced of the choice she had made.
Still, they couldnât continue fooling around like this.
There would not be enough of the precious cream to decorate the cake when it was ready.
Larissa put on a stem face and confiscated the whloped cream.
She handed them each a wet wipe and demanded that they clean up, Once everything was selled, she looked back and saw Freddy staring at them.
Noticing her gaze, Freddy averted his eyes and looked miserable again.
Larissa felt a prickly sensation in her aching heart.
top similar to As Perhaps it was because Freddyâs experience was too similar to Asterâs.
When she saw Freddyâs pitiful expression, she couldnât help but see Aster in him.
Some time ago. Aster must have been in the same situation.
He could only look longingly at other classmates who laughed heartily in the company of both parents.
âWhatâs wrong?â Kevan noticed Larissaâs vacant expression. He followed her gaze and saw a sullen little boy across from them.
He had seer that boy a few times.
Aside from being the son of a man who had a crush on his wife, Kevan didnât like the boy much.
That kid had mocked Aster for not having a dad.
In his opinion, that child was a brat who had been bullying classmates since childhood.
Despite that, Larissaâs gaze seemed tender when she looked at that boy.
âWhatâs on your mind?â he asked.
Freddy seems quite pitiful.â Larissa pursed her lips.
They were conversing in Caldorian, so no one could understand what they were saying.
