Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 475

Aster and Kevan were playing online games at home. The gaming console was connected to the television and the living room resounded with the game's background music and their shouts of excitement. This was the scene that met Larissa's eyes when she got there. Her anger inexplicably burned even brighter, and she slammed the door shut. The two people inside immediately kept quiet, and their smiles vanished.

Aster threw down his controller and rushed to Larissa, throwing his arms around her tightly. "I'm sorry, Mommy!" he apologized sweetly, sneaking glances at her with his gleaming eyes. Larissa's heart melted a little, but she forced herself to remain steadfast. She pulled him away expressionlessly and watched as a look of panic crossed his face while he teared up.

"Mommy …" Aster pouted miserably and his voice was a lot softer than before.

In the blink of an eye, Kevan had switched off the television and walked over to them.

"Sorry," he said to Larissa. His gaze was dark and his lips were slightly pursed. Because of his height and intimidating aura, he didn't look humble at all although he was apologizing.

"It's not your fault," said Larissa. Even if he were at fault, it was only because he doted on Aster too much and couldn't bear to refuse him. Although she was angry, she was still aware of this fact. "Thank you for tonight. But …you should leave," she said. She would take things up with the kid after he left.

Kevan did not answer her, but lowered his head and looked at Aster, who was standing beside her miserably. Aster looked back at him. They communicated with each other through looks before Kevan finally nodded and said, "Okay."

Larissa sat down on the sofa while Aster stood in front of her. His shoulders were slouched and he was hanging his head.
