Kevan was silent for a moment, but he was still unable to make a decision. "We'll talk about it tomorrow."
…
Larissa missed Aster. She only ordered two burgers at a roadside stall before telling Kevan to quickly drive to the Rogers' villa.
When they got there, it was past 9:00 pm. The villa's lights were still on, and it seemed no one was asleep.
Kevan did not call Violet, so when the nanny opened the door to see him, she was very surprised. "Young Mr. Rogers, why are you here at this time?"
Kevan asked, "Is Aster asleep?"
The nanny shook her head. "Not yet! Mrs. Rogers was not in a good mood today, so Mr. Aster stayed with her for the whole day. After they finished dinner, they went into the study to draw. They have not left the room yet."
Kevan nodded. "I understand." He led Larissa upstairs to the study.
Violet and Aster were both lying on the table. Both of them had paintbrushes in their hands. When they heard the door opening, they looked up together.
"Daddy! Mommy!" When he saw Kevan and Larissa, Aster immediately threw the paintbrush away and jumped out of the chair to run to them. Kevan picked him up, and his expression became gentle at once.
"Did you listen to Grandma over the past few days?" Kevan asked as he poked Aster's nose.
Aster had not even spoken when Violet answered before him, "Aster was very good. He even made delicious food for me today to comfort me!"
Her eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse. It was clear that she had been crying for a long time. But now, she was smiling, and she did not seem to be in a bad mood.
"Really?" Larissa's eyes widened dramatically as she teased Aster. "You're that amazing?"
Aster blushed shyly as he mumbled, "Mrs. Green helped me make it."
