Larissa was startled out of her skin. She almost forgot to maintain the expression on her face.
Kevan remained composed.
"Didn't we discuss moving earlier? Since we're free, we'll move some of our things to the new house."
This topic was initiated by Wendy herself yesterday.
When she heard Kevan's words, she didn't suspect anything. "You found a house so quickly?"
Kevan smiled. "I've been planning it for a while."
Wendy gave him a thumbs up. "Truly befitting your style, Mr. Rogers!"
Larissa turned her back toward Wendy to avoid eye contact with her.
Wendy hugged Larissa from behind and asked jokingly, "What's wrong? Missing me already?"
Larissa choked up and spoke in a trembling voice, "Yeah."
"It's not like we won't see each other anymore! Don't worry, I'll come over often to mooch off your meals!" Wendy consoled her instead.
"Okay." Larissa grabbed her hand and squeezed her eyes shut. She tried not to think about the jumbled mess in her mind.
Aster seemed very enthusiastic toward Wendy after getting scolded by Larissa.
He clung to her and asked, "Godma! Did you go on a date today?"
Blushing, Wendy let go of Larissa and poked Aster in the forehead.
She said, "Little kids should meddle in adult matters!"
"Godma, are you happy now that we are moving out? You can bring your boyfriend to stay at home!" Aster paid no heed to Wendy and probed.
