Kevan bought a flight ticket back to Caldor.
Before he left, he helped Larissa move into their new place.
Their new home was only two streets away from Larissa's original apartment.
It was a penthouse on the 43rd floor with a beautiful view, overlooking the entire city of Westonia.
It wasn't Kevan's best property in Westonia. Still, it was the most suitable for Larissa and Aster at the moment.
The interior design and furniture were left behind by the previous owner.
Although it didn't completely match their tastes, Kevan had no time to renovate the property due to the recent purchase.
The advantage was that everything they needed was already available.
They didn't need to worry about the hassle of renovating the place just yet.
Regardless, both Larissa and Aster were satisfied.
Kevan's schedule was tight. After moving all their luggage to the new house, he had to leave.
With tears in his eyes, Aster grabbed his leg and refused to let Kevan go.
His anguish was as if he was experiencing a separation worse than life and death.
"Daddy! Don't go! I don't want you to leave! Didn't you promise me that you would never leave me any more!"
Kevan was always gentle and patient with Aster. Seeing him cry like this, he couldn't bear to drag Aster away by force and leave.
Kevan explained to him repeatedly, "I am just going back to handle some matters. I'll be back very soon."
Aster was too upset to listen. He sobbed, "Daddy, don't go! I won't let you leave!"
In the end, Larissa pulled Aster off Kevan so that he could catch his flight.
As soon as Kevan left, Aster locked himself in his room. He even forbade Larissa from disturbing him.
