Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 509

Seeing how determined he was, Larissa relented. "Alright, you can sleep with him."

Kevan lifted up the blanket and stood up from the sofa. "I'll take a shower first."

"Wait a minute," Larissa called out.

"Yes?" Kevan turned around, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"To be honest, you didn't have to deliberately rush over here to accompany Aster," Larissa said after some hesitation. "Don't misunderstand me. I just feel that you should spend more time with your own daughter."

Although she wasn't fond of Bethany, that didn't prevent her from sympathizing with the child.

In Bethany, Larissa was vaguely reminded of her past childhood.

Like her, Bethany had grown up without parental love.

The loneliness, sadness, and fear she experienced was unimaginable to others.

Kevan had explained why he wasn't close to Bethany, but his explanation didn't convince Larissa.

"At this young age, children need the patient guidance of their parents. Now that her mother is not around, and you refuse to pay any attention to her, her character will only spiral downward."

Kevan hung his head and sighed deeply.

"Actually, I also wanted to talk to you about this."

Pointing to the sofa, he asked Larissa, "Shall we sit down and have a talk?"

She sat down beside him. "What do you want to talk about?"

"About how to educate children." Worry was written all over Kevan's face.

"You know what Bethany is like. She's now living with my mother, so she has become somewhat restrained. However, the teachers report that she is still bullying other classmates at school. Today, she injured a boy in her class. My mom was busy with Grandpa's funeral affairs, so I made the trip down to the kindergarten. The boy didn't do anything wrong. He just got in her way and she ended up punching him, leaving him with a swollen face. I don't have the patience to deal with such situations. If it were up to me, I would just give her a taste of her own medicine, but that's unacceptable. You have raised Aster well, so I thought you might be able to give me some guidance."
