Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 520

Larissa froze in her tracks.

She thought Kevan had already left, but with so many variables in between, it was highly likely that he was persuaded by Aster to stay.

She sighed inwardly and resumed walking.

As she approached them, Aster ran up to her in a few steps and held her hand.

His little face was flushed, his nose covered in sweat, and his big, bright eyes were filled with a smile.

"Why are you so late?" His tone carried a hint of reproach. "Daddy and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "daddy," speaking loud enough for everyone around to hear. The gazes they received stunned Larissa—especially when she noticed that most of those gazes were filled with envy.

She lowered her head, forcing herself to smile as she silently wished to disappear. They quickly returned to where Kevan was.

As soon as Larissa met Kevan's gaze, she noticed the remorse in his eyes.

"I'm sorry," Kevan said. "I didn't feel at ease leaving Aster alone. I intended to wait until you arrived before leaving, but you were late, and I thought something had come up and you couldn't make it ..."

Ultimately, this was Larissa's own fault, and she had no right to blame anyone.

"Now that you're here, I'll leave now," Kevan touched Aster's head and softly instructed, "Have fun with Mommy."

There was a hint of melancholy on his face, subtle but keenly captured by Larissa.
