The man realized his mistake and chuckled awkwardly. "Hey, my apologies, Mr. Lewis," he said, carefully extending his apology, before swiftly changing the topic, saying, "Mr. Lewis, will you all be riding in my car, or how would you like to proceed?" His use of "you all" included Kevan and Aster, who had been sticking close to Larissa.Lewis pulled Larissa aside and stated, "It will just be the two of us.""Got it! Sure thing!" The man took the initiative to help with the luggage cart.He smiled as he continued, "My car is parked outside. So, please follow me for a short walk."Larissa turned to Dylan and inquired, "What about you?""My car is parked on the basement level. We're headed in different directions," Dylan replied, gesturing casually behind him.Larissa turned her attention to Aster. She embraced him and planted a kiss on his cheek.She ruffled his hair as she advised, "Be a good boy and listen to Daddy. I have to work today, but I'll come see you tomorrow."As

Kevan noticed Dylan's hesitation and decided to take matters into his own hands. He lifted Aster and placed him firmly in Dylan's lap."Lock the doors and keep him safe," he instructed with determination before jumping out of the car without further ado."Hey—" Dylan tried to intervene but it was too late.He watched as Kevan strode purposefully toward the commotion."Damn it!" Dylan muttered in frustration.Following Kevan's instructions, he locked the car doors but remained uneasy."Uncle Dylan, where did Daddy go?" Aster asked with a worried expression.Dylan shifted his gaze away from Kevan, mustering a forced smile. "Well ... he is not feeling well and needs to use the neighbor's restroom."He concocted a poor excuse.Aster responded with a simple "Oh" and lowered his head, obediently nestling in Dylan's arms.It was unclear whether he believed the excuse or not.The sound of the knife striking the gate abruptly stopped."You've finally decided to show your face!

Both Anthony and Violet were utterly charmed by Aster.Anthony couldn't wait to take Aster from Violet. He bounced Aster around happily, saying, "What a good boy!"The scene of the grandparents and grandson enjoying themselves together was heartwarming.But Dylan's focus wasn't on that. He asked, "Violet, where's Kevan?"She gestured upstairs and replied, "He said his clothes got dirty, so he went upstairs to take a shower and change. You know his cleanliness habits …"Kevan's penchant for cleanliness was no secret in the family."Oh." Dylan didn't inquire further."Aster, would you like some snacks? I made cinnamon rolls and cream puffs. Even your mom says they're delicious!" She held Aster's hands, trying to win him over."After snacks, how about going for a stroll in the yard with me? I'll show you the crickets I'm raising. It's a lot of fun!" Anthony chimed in, also vying for Aster's attention.Dylan sat on the couch.He felt somewhat out of place amidst the current atm

"Life imprisonment?" Dylan narrowed his eyes. "That's still lenient for him!"In fact, Edmund confirmed that Cody had poisoned Old Mr. Rogers. However, Kevan didn't intend to submit that video as evidence due to suspicions of coercion during the confession."Once he's behind bars, it won't be up to him whether he lives or dies," Kevan said. He was smiling, but his dark eyes were chilly. There were plenty of hardcore criminals in prison. Fights and brawls happened at the drop of a hat. It wasn't all that uncommon for inmates to end up killing each other. Handling it wouldn't be much of a hassle. After all, individuals like those inmates wouldn't mind taking another life.Besides, there were already two members of Bernard's family in prison. Since Maria got herself into trouble today, she'd likely join them behind bars. With Cody's relatives no longer around, there would be no one to investigate the cause of his death.The matter would probably be swept under the ru

Violet looked surprised. "Wait, you haven't remarried Lari yet?"You've been constantly over there, staying for weeks at a time. "I thought you'd have it all sorted by now." Her eyes sparkled with teasing, and her tone was playfully mocking.Kevan cleared his throat, feeling somewhat uneasy. "Well, I still need to discuss it with you and Dad.""Are you telling me that you won't remarry Lari if Anthony and I disagree?" she countered. Her eyes were filled with understanding.He grew even more uncomfortable and used the act of breaking a piece of bread to avoid her gaze.His confidence waned a bit."It's not quite like that.""So, when are you planning to remarry her?" She paused and focused on their conversation."We'll wait until the situation in the country improves a bit. I plan to have the wedding here, but I haven't discussed it with Larissa yet.""You haven't talked about it yet?" She sounded anxious. "Don't tell me you're rushing into this without careful considerat

"Oh, really? I haven't noticed." He struggled to maintain a calm facade.Violet retorted with a touch of annoyance, "Of course, you haven't!" "When was the last time you dug out those childhood photos I took of you and looked at them? "I bet you don't even remember what you looked like as a child."This was actually true.Violet remembered something else and asked, "Oh, by the way, is Lari coming over later?""She probably won't. How about you give her a call?" He lowered his head in thought before looking up with a mischievous glint in his eyes.Violet knew exactly what her son was thinking, having carried him for nine months. Since she had been missing seeing Larissa around, she might as well play along with his plan."Let's wait until tonight. She's probably working right now," she suggested.… However, Violet's guess was incorrect.Once the driver had dropped off Larissa and Lewis at the hotel, he left them with some parting words, "Mr. Ackley mentioned that the two

Kevan handed the phone over to Violet deliberately."Lari, are you done with your work?" Violet was extremely enthusiastic. Startled, Larissa took some time to reply, "Mrs. Rogers, I don't have work today." "That's perfect! Hurry up and bring Lari over for dinner! You will be just in time for a meal at home!" Violet urged Kevan.Kevan's voice could be heard through the phone as he spoke helplessly, "Mom, Lari hasn't agreed to come yet." "Oh, right! Lari, are you coming for dinner?" Violet asked Larissa's opinion after she was reminded by Kevan. In fact, Larissa didn't really want to travel that far. In addition, it was a little awkward to deal with Kevan's parents. However, since they had already spoken, she couldn't refuse their request directly. It would make them feel bad."I'll go," she said sweetly. "Did you hear that? Hurry up! Don't waste time!" Violet punched Kevan triumphantly and handed the phone back to him. The collaborating party had booked rooms in the

As soon as the door was opened, Violet sprang up from the sofa and hurried over. Larissa entered the house first. When she looked up, the first thing she saw was Violet's joyful face. Taken aback, Larissa greeted Violet immediately, "Mrs. Rogers!" "Hi!" Violet took some house slippers from the shoe cabinet and helped Larissa put them on. After that, she then looked her up and down. "Lari, you've lost weight!" Violet exclaimed, her eyes shimmering with tears. Larissa laughed awkwardly and looked to Kevan for help. Violet's reaction was too much for her to handle. She didn't know how to comfort her. "That's enough." Kevan interrupted the emotional moment. He grabbed Larissa's hand from his mother's and held it in his palm. "She would rather lose weight than gain it." He wasn't wrong in saying that, it's just that he was too blunt. Larissa didn't dare to agree and forced a dry laugh. Kevan handed some tissues to Violet and said, "Today is a happy occasion. You shouldn't spoi
