Kevan snorted with disdain.
"His pitiful situation is caused by his dad. It wouldn't be difficult at all to find him a stepmother. Instead, he wants someone else's wife!"
Larissa chuckled at his words.
The sense of pity she felt for Freddy disappeared instantly.
Kevan's reasoning made sense. The situation was easy to resolve.
As long as Allen found a wife to marry, Freddy would have a complete family again.
No matter how much she pitied Freddy, she couldn't fulfill his wish.
Compared to other children, her own son took priority.
Finally, the cake was ready.
When they opened the oven, a sweet and enticing aroma wafted out.
Larissa cut off the edges of the cake into a plate and asked Aster to share them with other children.
She assumed that he would give some to Freddy first, but he went straight to another table.
After the plate was empty, only then did he return.
Larissa was a little angry.
She hoped that Aster would become lively and mischievous, but she didn't want him to be selfish.
She pulled him aside and asked, "Why didn't you share the cake with Freddy?"
Aster replied honestly, "I don't like him, so I don't want to share with him."
Aster and Freddy were good friends previously, but their friendship had soured since that incident in the car.
It hadn't improved until now.
Larissa understood Aster's feelings to some extent.
