Larissa's heart sank. "What did he say to you?" "He knows that I'm your ex-husband." Kevan stared at Larissa calmly. "He must have guessed it! I never told him that." Larissa never discussed her private matters with others. Even the fact that Aster was her biological son was revealed accidentally when Aster let it slip during a playdate with Freddy. Later, it was Freddy who told Allen about this. "He even knew about Ruby." Kevan felt uneasy when he mentioned her name. He observed Larissa's reaction closely. As expected, there was a flicker in Larissa's eyes. "He didn't know Ruby's name, but he knew about the things that happened between the three of us …" Kevan continued. Thus, Allen was convinced that Larissa and him were merely acting. Allen had warned him, asking Kevan to leave on his own accord. He even said that he was the only man worthy of Larissa. "He probably had someone investigate me, or someone close to us reached out to him. Given that Edmund appear

Kevan bought a flight ticket back to Caldor. Before he left, he helped Larissa move into their new place. Their new home was only two streets away from Larissa's original apartment. It was a penthouse on the 43rd floor with a beautiful view, overlooking the entire city of Westonia. It wasn't Kevan's best property in Westonia. Still, it was the most suitable for Larissa and Aster at the moment. The interior design and furniture were left behind by the previous owner. Although it didn't completely match their tastes, Kevan had no time to renovate the property due to the recent purchase. The advantage was that everything they needed was already available. They didn't need to worry about the hassle of renovating the place just yet. Regardless, both Larissa and Aster were satisfied. Kevan's schedule was tight. After moving all their luggage to the new house, he had to leave. With tears in his eyes, Aster grabbed his leg and refused to let Kevan go. His anguish was a

The moment Kevan was gone, the job of sending Aster to and from school landed on Larissa’s head.Her sprained ankle had recovered, and she could drive now. It was convenient too. It was just that the time she got off work was later than Aster’s school dismissal. She could only do as she did before and ask the teacher to watch Aster.When Kevan left, he had spoken with Lewis beforehand. So, Lewis knew about Larissa’s difficulties. He told Larissa to leave work early, but Larissa refused.Blue Star had just experienced a crazy wave of employees quitting from the presidential office. They were at a time when they needed people to step up to help out.Plus, the employees who quit had taken away quite a few clients too. Thus, the office felt really depressing. Larissa had to stick with the company and show her support.Edmund’s sudden appearance made Larissa feel stressed out. It also made her feel very pressured again.She talked to Lewis. She wanted to use the afternoo

Larissa was still in the middle of planning how to break Wendy and Edmund up when a sudden call from Wendy interrupted her.Wendy asked, "Are you free now? Can you accompany me to the hospital?"Larissa had been having extra lessons in Lewis' office when she got that call. The moment she did, she put down her work and applied for a half-day leave from Lewis.Wendy did not seem to go to work that day. Larissa went home to pick her up. Wendy left the house without makeup, and she looked a little weak. There were heavy dark circles under her eyes.Larissa asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"Wendy bit her lip and stayed silent for a while. Then, she sighed and said quietly, "I … might be pregnant.""What?!" Larissa was so shocked that her hands jerked on the steering wheel, turning it around, causing the car to nearly bang into the roadside. Thankfully, Larissa was able to turn the car back the right way, but it did not stop the drivers behind her from honking at her angrily and loudl

"If he is a responsible, good man, he would not have made you get pregnant when he is not ready to marry you yet."Larissa could not reveal Edmund's true identity. She could only let Wendy know that Edmund was no good person through this sort of roundabout way."He never mentioned anything about marrying me …" Wendy mumbled. "But he always said that he was serious about me.""Then call him right now and tell him you're pregnant. Ask him what you should do now." Although Larissa was anxious, this was Wendy's life. She could not make any final decisions for her best friend."I …" Wendy hesitated. "Can I have two days to process it all?" She pleaded with Larissa. "I really can't think straight now. Maybe I'll have calmed down within two days and I'll have figured it out."Larissa could not bear to force her. "Okay."It was almost time to pick Aster up from school. Larissa asked Wendy, "Want to go pick Aster up with me?"Wendy nodded lifelessly. "Sure."…There were always kids ru

Larissa did not completely believe what the nurse said.Forget what the other case was, but there were witnesses who saw the kid in Aster's class fall down from the slide—Aster being one of them. This could not be fake.So, Larissa only smiled and thanked the nurse for her reminder. She then left the hospital with Aster.On the way to the parking lot, Aster anxiously cleared things up. "Mommy, don't listen to the bad things the nurse said! Our teachers are all very good! They did not abuse us! Tommy really fell down the slide! I was right behind him!""I know." Larissa patted Aster's head. "Don't worry, I won't change schools for you."Aster relaxed.The hospital was not really a good place for a healthy person to stay in for too long, so Larissa did not let Wendy go in with her. Wendy waited in the car.Aster saw Wendy in the car, and he ran over while letting go of his mother's hand. Aster opened the car door and was about to jump onto Wendy when Larissa snapped. "Alastair Sim

Larissa did not want Wendy to keep this child. Still, it was important to keep Wendy's body healthy regardless of what decision Wendy would make.Wendy looked at Larissa with mixed feelings. She forced down the tears that were coming and thanked Larissa seriously.Aster reacted the complete opposite. He looked down disappointedly and secretly texted Kevan. "Mommy's going to cook at home again." He added a crying emoji.Kevan sent back a series of hug emojis and comforted him. "When I get back I will cook the most delicious things ever for you. Just bear with it for a while."Aster sent more crying emojis. "I thought we could go out and eat since Godma's here today!"Kevan was interested immediately. "Your godma's with you two today? Her boyfriend's gone?" Kevan checked his work phone. He did not receive any news that Edmund had left Aldovia."Her boyfriend's not gone. He must be working I guess. Godma came to pick me up with Mommy," Aster said.Kevan could not help but be

Larissa did not need to think to know who Wendy was talking about."Are you an ostrich?" Larissa dug out Wendy's phone from between the couch cushions and gave it to Wendy. "The more you don't answer, the more he'll think crazy things."Wendy pouted as she got up reluctantly. She answered the video call under Larissa's forceful gaze. To prevent Larissa from seeing Edmund's face, Wendy turned around and forced a normal smile to appear on her face.Wendy was like Larissa, having worked in the customer service industry for many years. She was good at faking her emotions. Edmund did not notice anything as he asked Wendy, "Have you eaten?""Nope." Wendy brushed her hair over from behind her ear to cover her face, which was free of makeup. "I'm waiting for my chicken soup to be ready.""You still have chicken soup? How nice!" Edmund's voice was filled with admiration.Wendy asked him, "What about you? Have you eaten?""I can't eat without you." Edmund's voice was the type that lov
