Aster and Kevan were playing online games at home. The gaming console was connected to the
television and the living room resounded with the game’s background music and their shouts of
excitement. This was the scene that met Larissa’s eyes when she got there. Her anger inexplicably

“Mommy.” Aster pouted miserably and his voice was a lot softer than before.
In the blink of an eye, Kevan had switched off the television and walked over to them.
“Sorry,” he said to Larissa. His gaze was dark and his lips were slightly pursed. Because of his height
and intimidating aura, he didn’t look humble at all although he was apologizing.
“It’s not your fault” said Larissa. Even if he were at fault, it was only because he doted on Aster too
much and couldn’t bear to refuse him. Although she was angry, she was still aware of this fact. “Thank
you for tonight. But you should leave,” she said. She would take things up with the kid after he left.
Kevan did not answer her, but lowered his head and looked at Aster, who was standing beside her

didn’t want to disappoint you.” Larissa leaned forward, put her hands on Aster’s shoulders, and looked
him in the eye. “But in reality, he is very busy with work these days.”
Aster opened his mouth a little, an expression of shock on his face. “Uncle Kevan likes you, so he was
willing to put down his work and come play with you. If you like Uncle Kevan too, then you should be
