Kevan’s face was calm and emotionless.
“It’s not worth it for you to make the trip. It’s too far.” Without hesitation, Larissa shot him down.

awkward for him. Besides, he had his own job to take care of.
“Alright” Kevan replied, pursing his lips. He did not confirm whether he would attend or not. “You guys should have
an early night. Aren’t you going to Disnieland tomorrow? You won’t have enough energy to play if you don’t go to
sleep now.”
“Yeah.” Larissa nodded, suppressing her reluctance to hang up. Avoiding Kevan’s gaze, she lowered her voice and
spoke to Aster. “Say goodbye to Daddy.”
“Bye, Daddy!” Because of his excitement to go to Disnieland, Aster bid Kevan goodbye immediately. Usually, he

call for as long as possible.

banquet? It’s one of the
most important turning points in your life! Don’t you want him to witness that?”
“Do you think Mr. Rogers has as much free time as you? Besides, it is just a small banquet. There’s nothing special
about it” Larissa
glared at Wendy.
*Alright suit yourself! I’m going to bed now. Tomorrow, I have to do overtime at the office.” Wendy dismissed her
impatiently.
Carrying Aster in her arms, Larissa stood up from the sofa. “We’ll turn in for the night too.”
Larissa had promised Freddy that she would pick him up at his home on Saturday morning.
With Aster in tow, she pressed the doorbell, However, it was Allen who answered the door.
Larissa was stunned when she saw Allen, who was supposed to be at the office at this time. In contrast, Aster
greeted him happily. “Uncle
Allen!
Allen squatted down and patted Aster on the head. With a tender smile, he said, “Aster, long time no seel
Larissa recovered her senses and questioned Allen. “Why are you at home?”
After that previous incident, she felt awkward whenever they had to interact face-to-face.
‘I’ve applied for leave, so I will accompany you to Disnieland. Freddy and Aster are two energetic young boys. I’m

Nonetheless, she had promised Aster and Freddy. Allen had also taken leave from work. If she went back on her
word, these three boys

“Alright.” Larissa could only agree.
When Freddy heard Larissa’s voice at the door, he ran out with his little backpack.
“Larissa” He dived into Larissa’s embrace and rubbed his head on her clothes, messing up his blond hair.
