Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 463

Larissa was stunned. She collected herself a few seconds later and glanced at Kevan subconsciously. He was also looking at her, seemingly waiting for her response. His gaze was intense, causing her to avert her gaze. She was more than willing to take her son to the movie, but she found herself in a predicament when it involved Kevan.

"It's getting late today, so …" She crouched down, trying to reason with Aster, saying, "How about we wait until I'm free, and we can go together then?"

Naturally, Aster disagreed. "But I want to go today!" He resorted to tactics children his age would use—throwing a tantrum. However, it was the first time he did that, so he wasn't very skilled. He looked funny when he was contorting his little body and making faces.

She couldn't help but laugh upon seeing that. Kevan chimed in, "We're already here, and it's not that late yet. Aster doesn't have to go to school tomorrow. So, let's just make his wish come true."

Aster intensified his effort after seeing Kevan try to persuade his mom. "Yeah! Let's make my wish come true, Mommy!"

She couldn't help but feel relieved watching them both. It was a good thing that Kevan wasn't Aster's biological father. Otherwise, she could imagine how spoiled Aster would be under Kevan's influence.

"Alright, alright!" In the end, she gave in.

Aster glanced at Kevan and winked, quietly making a victory sign. Kevan smirked and ruffled Aster's hair. "What a mischievous kid!" he thought.

…

It was summer break for elementary and middle school students, so many animated movies were playing. Larissa simply picked one and was about to purchase the tickets when Aster grabbed her.

"This one is too childish." He furrowed his brows, clearly showing his disdain.

She couldn't help but laugh, seeing his attempt to act maturely. "Then, pick what you want to watch and buy the tickets yourself." She handed him the phone.
