"Okay, I got it. Thank you," Dylan hung up the phone and recounted what the homeroom teacher had said to Kevan.
"With my mother's intervention, Larissa and Aster would not suffer any grievances," Kevan expressed his complete trust in his mother.
However, Dylan wasn't as optimistic as him.
"In your mother's eyes, Bethany is your only child or the only descendant of your family. Meanwhile, Larissa is a former daughter-in-law with no blood relation and no contact for several years. Do you think your mother will favor her over her granddaughter whom she brought up? Who do you think your mother will favor? The answer is obvious," Dylan said, his tone filled with sympathy as he patted Kevan's shoulder.
Kevan was shaken, as every word Dylan said made sense.
"After my mother visits the kindergarten tomorrow, you can give the teacher another call," Kevan suggested.
"Kevan, I feel like you haven't grasped the main point," Dylan said, shaking his head.
"Huh?" Kevan looked puzzled.
"Larissa already knows that Bethany is your and Ruby's child—at least, that's what everyone believes. If Bethany bullied Aster, don't you think she will hold you responsible?" Dylan asked.
Kevan suddenly felt worried.
When it came to matters involving Larissa, he couldn't think rationally. He would get stuck in his thoughts and fail to find a solution on time.
For example, at this moment, his mind was completely occupied by the thought that Larissa hated him. Fear and panic prevented him from focusing on solving the problem.
"What do you think I should do then?" Kevan asked, his expression tense, seeking help from Dylan.
