Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 832

Larissa was decorating the cake when she heard Freddy's offer.

She froze in place and stared at the tarts in his hands.

Larissa didn't know how to respond.

Aster had a strawberry in his hand and placed it on the cake.

He ignored Freddy.

Freddy's face fell.

Larissa realized that his feelings might have been hurt, so she quickly took the tarts. She stuffed one into Aster's hand.

"Thank you." She bent down and ruffled Freddy's hair affectionately.

Only then did Freddy show a shy smile.

Aster turned away with pursed lips.

He gripped the tart in his hand, but he didn't eat it nor throw it away.

The competition ended. As expected, Larissa's strawberry cake didn't win any prizes.

However, it received unanimous praise from Aster's classmates.

Larissa suspected that most of the credit was because of Kevan's and Aster's good looks.

Allen cleared up his table and came over to ask Larissa, "We're going out for dinner. Do you want to join us?"

Larissa declined his offer. "Sorry, we already made plans with other friends."

Allen didn't seem disappointed and replied with a smile, "Let's make plans for another time. Freddy hasn't hung out with Aster for a long time, he has been pestering me about it recently."

With that, he gave Freddy's hand a squeeze. "Right, Freddy?"

Freddy, who had been silent all along, nodded and looked up at Larissa with an innocent expression.

"That's right! Larissa, when will you bring me and Aster out to play?"

Larissa could reject Allen without any guilt, but she was easily persuaded when it came to children.

"Well, let me discuss it with Aster first."

She had no right to make decisions on Aster's behalf, so she could only try to convince him later at home.

"Okay."

Fortunately, Freddy didn't press for a definite answer.
