Chapter 466

Larissa rushed into the restroom, At this point, the movie hadn’t ended yet. But regardless, It was still

unusual to find the restroom empty since it was usually packed with ladies queuing up. She turned on

the tap and splashed a handful of cold water on her face, soothing away most of the heat. She used a

napkin to carefully dab off the water stains, gradually calming her racing heartbeat. She then applied a

thin layer of foundation as she stood in front of the mirror, concealing the lingering blush on her face.

Afterward, she adjusted her expression bit by bit until the previous nervousness and shyness were no

longer visible. She then walked to the counter with her head held high and bought Kevan a can of

carbonated drink. When she returned to the screening hall more than half of the movie had already

passed.

Kevan leaned back, his body half-slouched, and he was propping his chin with one hand, He dimmed

the brightness of his phone screen to the maximum and was engrossed in whatever he was looking at.

On the other hand, Aster was sound asleep as he leaned on the armrest

She handed him the can and asked in a hushed voice. “When did Aster fall asleep?”

“He couldn’t last two minutes after you left” Kevan chuckled, hallamused and half sympathetic, as he

gently stroked Aster’s head. “He’s really struggling with this kind of movie, but he insisted on picking it

and didn’t want to sleep in front of you. He asked me to wake him up when you come back.” He turned

to her and asked, “Should I?”

She felt sorry for her son, but she also wanted to teach him a lesson. So, she said resolutely. “Yeah.

He’s gonna finish watching the movie.”

Naturally, Kevan understood her intentions and didn’t object; he merely shook his head helplessly. He

lightly tapped Aster’s shoulder and said. “Your mom is back.”

Aster jolted awake and immediately sat up straight, his eyes fixated on the screen, pretending to be

fully engrossed in the movie. She was amused by his act but managed to hold back her laughter.

Finally, when the movie ended after what felt like a long time. Aster insisted on riding Kevan’s car

home. She gave in, allowing Kevan to drive them home. Aster must have been exhausted because he

fell asleep in her arms shortly after they got into the car.

Kevan glanced at him through the rearview mirror, turned down the air conditioning, and handed

Larissa his suit jacket, which was on the passenger seat.

“Cover him with this,” he said. Her heart s kipped a beat at his considerate and gentle gesture.

“Thank you,” she replied, forcing a stiff smile as she tightly wrapped Aster in Kevan’s jacket.

“Sorry for the inconvenience today. You’ve been busy, and yet you accompanied Aster to watch a

movie,” she said to Kevan.

Microworks Corporation appeared to have made a significant investment in “Galeforce.” Its

advertisement could be seen all along the roadside, and the younger employees in the hotel were

constantly discussing the game during their breaks. Consequently, even Larissa who knew nothing

about games, had heard about how impressive “Galeforce” was, how its servers were consistently at

maximum capacity, or how the development team was likely to be working around the clock.

Although Kevan was the president and didn’t need to handle everything personally, “Galeforce,” being

Microworks Corporation’s flagship project meant that he would definitely need to spend more time

handling its related matters, especially during the initial launch phase.

He replied casually, “Not too busy. I still have time to watch a movie,” Of course, the partners of the

collaborating company would probably be pis sed off if they knew he had turned down their dinner

invitation just to watch a shallow romantic movie.

“To be honest — if you got the time, you should spend more lime with your daughter, Larissa said.

Although she didn’t like Bethany, she felt a bill guilly because Kevan often accompanied Aster, He

mentioned before that Bethany was being taken care of by his mother, Larissa hadn’t seen her since

the last encounter. Who knew, perhaps Kevan had only met Bethany fewer times than he had seen

Aster. It was already pitiful for a child to not have their parents around, and it the child found out that

the father favored another child and not her Well, there might be another confict considering Bethany’s

temperament.

The smile on Kewan’s face faded slightly when she mentioned Bethany, and his eyes narrowed a bill.

Tjust happened to run into you and Aster today. I might not be able to make it even if you specifically

set up a meeting. Also, my mom takes care of Bethany, so I don’t need to

worry
