Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 435

It was not that Larissa thought that Mrs. Potts was abusing Aster by not letting him eat. Although she was not entirely clear about Mrs. Potts' character, she knew a thing or two after having spent time together for a while. Besides, Mrs. Potts was recommended by Dylan, so there should not be any problems with her character …

But precisely because she was recommended by Dylan, Larissa could not help but wonder and suspect if she was in cahoots with Dylan behind her back.

Larissa did not directly ask Mrs. Potts about this, but she waited until she was gone before calling Aster to her. She maintained an affable nature when she was with Aster.

"Have you eaten?" she asked.

Aster nodded and said brightly, "Yup! I have."

Larissa continued to ask, "What did you eat?"

Aster replied without hesitation, "Scrambled eggs, chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, and mushroom soup." These were all his favorites.

However, the kitchen did not have a single trace of these foods. The first three could be explained away as them having finished it all, but mushroom soup was usually cooked in a big pot. They could not have possibly left nothing for her, could they?

Larissa continued sequentially, "Who did you eat with?"

Aster's eyes sparkled. "Granny Potts!"

"That's a lot of food. Did you both finish it all?"

Aster bit his lip once before looking down and said softly, "Yeah."

At this point, Larissa was certain that he was lying. Putting on a stern face, she forced Aster to look at her.
