Wendy fell silent for a moment before asking Larissa, "Do you remember Barbara's prediction back then?"
Of course, Larissa remembered, even though six years had passed, and they had long moved away from the town without further contact with Barbara.
Her feelings toward Barbara had transformed from initial dislike and rejection to gratitude. If it were not for Barbara, she would have never been convinced to keep the child.
But she didn't understand the purpose behind Wendy's question. "Why are you bringing this up now?"
"Well, Barbara said that you will reunite with your ex-lover," Wendy said with a serious tone. She always believed in Barbara's words. "So, perhaps, now is the time."
Kevan had lost his memory and had no connection to Larissa's past. His words to Aster couldn't be baseless—either he was interested in Larissa, or he genuinely liked Aster. Regardless, he would make a fitting "father figure" for Aster. More importantly, Aster also liked him a lot.
Larissa appreciated Barbara, but it didn't mean that she believed in all of Barbara's nonsense.
"Barbara even said I would meet a long-lost relative or friend. What happened to that?"
During her years abroad, Wendy was her only friend, and Aster was her only family.
Wendy was at a loss for words for a moment but quickly found a reason to justify her words. "Maybe the timing wasn't right. Anyways, it'll eventually be proven."
Larissa snorted. "Let's wait for it then."
"Hey!" Wendy grew frustrated. "Why are you so stubborn? I don't believe Kevan is showing so much affection for Aster for no good reason! Don't you like him too? He's single now! How about seizing the opportunity?"
"When did I ever like him?" Larissa's voice grew louder as she became angry and embarrassed that her secret was being revealed. But she couldn't recall ever admitting to Wendy that she liked Kevan. So, how did Wendy know?
