Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 494

Aster was hesitant to take it due to Larissa's presence nearby. Seeing how careful he was being, Larissa was upset but amused at the same time.

"Go ahead and eat," she said. "You can indulge yourself for a day for Uncle Kevan's sake."

Aster's eyes brightened up at once, his eyes looking very much like stars in the sky.

"Uncle Kevan!" He hugged Kevan's arm with a hopeful expression written all over his face. "Can you come to our house every day?"

Larissa poked Aster. "Don't even think about it! Uncle Kevan's busy with work. How can he come and play with you every day?"

Kevan could only smile quietly and shove his regrets into the depths of his heart.

…

Aster's routine was quite regular. The moment it was 9 pm, he would voluntarily put his game controller down and go to bed obediently without needing Larissa to say anything.

Kevan helped Larissa to put away the bags of snacks scattered all over the floor as well as put the game controller back where it belonged.

"I'll be heading back now." He retrieved his suit jacket from the sofa and took one step before Larissa called out, "Wait—"

Her lips twitching, Larissa struggled with herself for a bit before saying, "Stay the night. You can sleep here."

Kevan's eyes widened in shock. "Why?"

"Dylan's gone on a business trip, so he can't take care of you," Larissa explained helplessly.

Earlier when Kevan and Aster were gaming together, Dylan personally called and asked her if she knew where Kevan was because he'd called him several times but got no answer.

Larissa let him have her bedroom. "I'll just squeeze in with Aster." She took her phone charger and the clothes she would wear tomorrow before exiting the room. "If you need anything, call me."

"Okay." Kevan brushed past her and entered the room. He had come over to her place several times before, but this was his first time entering her bedroom.

The apartment was rented to her by the company, so the decor was not her style at all. He could not see her personality anywhere. The only things in the room that belonged to her were probably the clothes in the closet and the skincare products arranged at the head of the bed.

Kevan was not interested in these, and he never bothered to research them either. He took a quick shower and lay on the bed with only a bath towel wrapped around him.

She had just changed the sheets for him, and there was a thick scent of lavender emanating from them. He could not catch even a whiff of her scent.

He closed his eyes but did not feel sleepy at all.
