Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 758

Aster and Freddy were in the same kindergarten. Because they were half a year apart, they studied in different class groups.

They did not have much interaction in school. They would greet each other and chat a little on the rare chance they met each other when going to school and going home after school.

However, these little interactions were gone ever since the unhappy incident from before.

Larissa did not know how she should react.

Aster’s little act of revenge was definitely childish, and should not be encouraged. But she could totally understand his extreme sensitivity. Besides, it was not like Aster’s goal was to hurt anyone. So, she rubbed his head and smiled resignedly as she asked. “Are you happy now?”

Aster nodded hard. “Yep! Freddy won’t ever say that I don’t have a daddy anymore!”

Larissa’s heart ached immediately. “Yeah!” She pressed her lips tightly together and forced back the tears that she could feel were coming.

Kevan had missed their conversation, When he got into the car, the strange atmosphere made him keep quiet.

Aster sat back in his seat properly and put on his seat belt. “Daddy, are we going home now?” he asked.

Kevan hummed lowly in confirmation as he started the car.

“Aww—“Aster was clearly disappointed.

“What’s wrong?” Kevan’s voice was softer when he saw Aster’s sad face.

“I wanna watch a movie at the cinema.” Aster carefully said what he wanted. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Kevan did not agree at once. He used his eyes to seek Larissa’s thoughts on the matter.

“Sure.” Larissa naturally did not say no.

“Yay!” Aster was so happy he started dancing in his seat.

There were not many people at the cinema on a weekday night.

Aster chose a Disnie movie that was quite popular as it was being screened all over the world now.

According to him, everyone else but him had watched the movie in class. Whenever his classmates talked about the movie, Aster could only listen nearby, and he could not join in the conversation.

Larissa kissed Aster’s cheek with guilt. She had promised to make things up to her kid. But she still ignored him as usual in the end.

Aster did not show any sadness though. He was still happy that he was no longer going to “not fit in anymore.

Kevan came back with the movie tickets, and he had three cups of carbonated drinks and a large bucket of popcorn with him,

The popcom bucket was shaped like the cartoon characters in the movie. Aster hugged it because he loved it so much. He could not even bear to eat the popcorn inside.

It was not yet time to enter the theater yet, so the three of them sat in the hall.

Aster and Kevan talked about their favorite characters while Larissa listened quietly. The atmosphere was harmonious until it was broken by someone-

“Larissa?” A surprised male voice sounded not far away.

Hearing that. Larissa looked up to see Allen holding Freddy’s hand. They were not looking at her though–they were looking at Kevan next to her.

She pulled up a smile on her face as she greeted them normally. “Hi, Allen. Hi, Freddy.”

Hearing these two names, Kevan blinked and looked toward the two.
