"You are going to be discharged shortly, so don't cry. You will see him soon." Wendy comforted Larissa. "I'm not going to burst into tears!" Larissa said with a glare. "Just by looking at your face, I can tell that you're going to cry the next second." Wendy made a goofy face mimicking Larissa's expression. Larissa couldn't help but chuckle. Her sadness instantly evaporated. "I'm bringing Aster to a theme park next Saturday. We'll go to Disnieland," she continued. "Wow! You aren't going straight back to work after getting discharged? You're bringing your son to Disnieland instead? Are you really the Ms. Seymour that I know? Let's see, maybe the sun will rise from the west tomorrow!" Although Wendy was only joking, Larissa felt guilty when she heard Wendy's words. Because of her job, she had neglected Aster. Unfortunately, Larissa might have to resume her previous workaholic state after joining Blue Star Shipping. Regardless of her wishes, she had to do this. Wendy was

Time passed very slowly in the hospital. Still, apart from undergoing rehabilitation, Larissa would learn from Lewis in her spare time. Lewis taught her about how the company was run and the scope of management. This was to ensure a smooth transition into her new role at the company. Now that she wasn't so free all the time, Larissa found it much more tolerable at the hospital. Larissa had asked to be discharged from the hospital. Her attending doctor agreed readily on the condition that she return for regular appointments. In addition, he wrote her a note regarding stuff that she needed to look out for. On the day she was discharged, Gary personally came to accompany her in spite of his busy schedule. "I had someone decorate your room, and all the daily necessities you need are prepared. You can even move in right now without packing up. Lari, I've waited thirty years for this day to come." Gary's happiness was evident on his face. Larissa felt guilty when she saw th

It wasn't that Gary had abandoned her. Everything was done by Yvette while he was battling for his life at sea. Gary had looked for her all these years. Up until the moment when they were finally reunited, he was still searching for her. The little resentment she bore toward Gary had completely disappeared from the care and love he showered on her for the past few months. Instead, her feelings of concern for Gary grew. Gary wanted to compensate her for his absence as a father and the responsibilities he neglected. Similarly, Larissa wanted to repay him by being a daughter that he could be proud of. "Actually, Aster didn't resemble me much when I was young." Larissa stepped forward. Her gaze landed on the same spot as Gary's. Aster's features were a combination of hers and Kevan's. Taken apart, each feature on his face resembled them separately. Still, it was hard to see who Aster resembled more by taking all of his features into account. Therefore, she had never thought of

Gary was eager to meet Aster. Although it was another hour until kindergarten ended, he urged Larissa to leave home as soon as possible. There was not a soul at the kindergarten's entrance when they arrived. Larissa sat in the car and stared at Gary negotiating with the security guard at the entrance. After a while, Gary returned to the car with a dejected expression. "Why are the security guards at this kindergarten so strict? They don't even let the parents in to see children in class!" he complained bitterly through the car window. "It's all for the children's safety. Let's just wait for another half an hour. It will be quick." Larissa comforted him. Still, Gary refused to wait there without doing anything. He got Lewis to drive to the nearest mall and filled up the trunk with toys in half an hour. Larissa tried to stop him, but it was to no avail. "It's my first meeting with my grandson. I have to make a good impression so that he will like me." Larissa said helples

When they got in the car, Larissa patted Aster's back and said, "Alright, you can look up now."Aster looked up from Larissa's neck, showing his red and puffy eyes. He stared with curiosity at everything in the car, including the strange old man sitting beside Larissa. "Mommy, who is this person?" He poked Larissa's arm and spoke in a low tone. Gary panicked a little when he was singled out by Aster. "I … I … '' Gary stammered, but his tongue seemed to be tied. He couldn't even string a sentence together.Larissa completed his sentence for him. "He is my father, and your grandpa." Aster took in what Larissa said without difficulty. He turned to Gary and greeted him with a sweet smile. "Grandpa!" Gary's body jerked involuntarily at how easily Aster accepted him. Tears welled in his eyes, and Gary's lips trembled as he replied in a hoarse voice, "Nice to meet you, Aster!" Apart from the day when they were reunited, Larissa had not seen Gary in such an emotional state. Touch

Larissa's eyelid twitched involuntarily, and her heart seemed to have stopped beating. "He … "Due to panic, her thoughts were all jumbled up in her mind. At that moment, she did not know how to explain the situation. In her flustered state, Larissa couldn't think of anything else to say other than the first word she blurted out. Aster noticed her dilemma and answered Gary on Larissa's behalf. "He's not my real dad! I'm talking about Uncle Kevan. He knows that I don't have a dad, so he allowed me to call him Daddy." Aster lowered his head dejectedly, as if all the happiness he exuded just now was sucked out of him. "Uncle Kevan? Kevan Rogers?" Gary came to a realization. "Yes, he's Uncle Kevan." Aster nodded and pursed his lips together, which resembled Kevan's. The disappointment in Aster's eyes pierced Larissa's heart. Inexplicably, the scales in Larissa's mind quietly tipped in favor of Kevan. On the other hand, Gary's face turned scarlet with anger. Suppressing his fury,

Gary was used to throwing grand banquets and parties. "Just follow my lead, there's nothing to be nervous about. It might take some time, but you will get used to it eventually." Larissa felt a little intimidated by her future role as an heiress. "Is it too late for me to back out now?" she asked. "Back out? Don't even think about it!" Gary glared at her. He went through such difficulties to reunite with his daughter. If it weren't because of Larissa's refusal, he would have announced their relationship to the world. Now that she finally relented, he would not let her back out of this!While she was resting at home, Larissa kept herself busy. Every morning, she woke up earlier and prepared a simple breakfast for Wendy and Aster. After they left, she would start reading the materials sent by Lewis to get acquainted with her upcoming job. Around 3 pm, she would take a cab to the kindergarten and fetch Aster. Her leg hadn't fully recovered, so she wasn't allowed to drive a ca

On Friday, Larissa slept in for the first time since returning to Aldovia. It's not because she wanted to. After crying and drinking the whole night, she didn't realize it when her alarm went off in the morning. It was only when her stomach growled with hunger that she woke up. Larissa grabbed her phone and looked at the time. It was already noon She saw a few missed calls from Lewis on her phone screen. He hadn't received a reply from Larissa after a long time. So, he had sent a message saying, "I'll go over to your house at 2 pm." Larissa quickly got out of bed, every last bit of her drowsiness gone. Lewis arrived at Larissa's house on time. At that moment, Larissa was trying to depuff her swollen eyes.Lewis stared at her face for a long time. He asked cautiously, while scrutinizing the expression on her face, "What happened to you?" Pressing the ice against her puffy eyes, Larissa chuckled and dismissed him with a wave of her hand. "It's nothing. Last night, Wendy as
