Chapter 730
Aster and Wendy had a great time playing in the theme park. They walked out hand in hand, their laces flushed red with happiness.
Larissa handed them a cup of hot coffee and milk respectively. She had prepared drinks in advance. She reached out to Aster and discovered that he was covered in sweat. His body was radiating heat from running around and playing.
“Mommy! It’s super fun inside!” He chattered away merrily like a bird, eager to introduce every corner of the park to Larissa.
She listened attentively and asked a question or two occasionally in response to what he was saying. Aster’s mood had improved, as if he had completely forgotten about what happened this meming.
Larissa made a reservation for lunch at a restaurant famous for their burgers and fries. Aster loved fast food like this, but Larissa usually didn’t allow him to eat them.
Wendy teased Larissa. Feeling threatened? Are you trying to win back your son’s love from Mr. Rogers?”
Larissa rolled her eyes and replied curtly, “Gel last!”
Wendy smirked and gave her a meaningful smile. She placed her arm on Aster’s shoulder and urged him to walk faster. “Hurry up, run! Your mom’s getting angry. She might even beat us up!”
As he ran, Aster turned his head back to observe Larissa’s expression. With a smile on her face. Larissa put on the demeanor of a kind and
arissa put on the demeanor lakinda
loving mother.
“Your Godma is just joking with you! Why would I beat anyone up?” she said. After a pause, she added, “Oh, but your Daddy’s very
experienced in beating people up.”
Wendy laughed so hard she almost fell to the ground.
Larissa wasn’t fond of fast food. Taking a few fries, she already felt full. Her phone was placed on the table. Even though there were no messages, she found hersell unlocking her phone every few minutes to check her WhatsApp.
Kevan still hadn’t repled to her. At this moment, it was almost live hours since he ended the video call with Aster. According to Aster, he was about to board a plane at that time.
In five hours, he should have arrived at his destination if he were flying domestically within Caldor. Could it be that his business trip was actually abroad?
Microworks Corporation was the largest tech conglomerate in Calder. They had partnerships with many companies and government agencies outside the country. It wouldn’t be strange il Kevan was traveling abroad for business.
Larissa let out a sigh. To prevent hersell from constantly checking her phone, she put her phone in her bag.
Holding a half–eaten burger, Wendy gave Larissa the side eye. “Who are you waiting for a call from? You seem preoccupied.”
Larissa glared at her. “It’s none of your business.”
“Well!” Wendy turned to Aster and said in a sarcastic lone, “You heard that! Your mom said that she and your daddy’s business is none of my concern! What a disappointment! All those years of friendship thrown out of the window because of a man! What’s more. I’m now considered an outsider! How shallow and lickle human relationships could be!”
