Chapter 454
Larissa Invited Kevan and Dylan to stay for dinner, but they surprisingly rejected her offer.
“We still have work to do. Maybe next time,” Kevan said, before bending down to ruffle Aster’s hair with
a faint smile on his face. His eyes were filled with gentleness too.
“Goodbye, Aster.” His deep voice was light and unexpectedly energizing.
Larissa’s heartfelt like something had slammed right into it. She hurriedly looked down to hide the panic
on her face.
Dylan noticed her actions and tilted his head slightly to one side in pensive thought as he looked at her.
Aster waved at Kevan and said reluctantly, “Goodbye, Uncle Kevan!
Aster had no appetite, and he only ate a little bit of pasta before putting his spoon down.
“Mommy, I’m full” He watched Larissa timidly and emphasized. “Really, really full.”

did well usually, so Larissa naturally did not blame him for today’s exception-she would only feel sorry
for him.
“In that case, you can stop eating.” Larissa poured the remaining pasta from his plate into hers and
asked, “Do you want to watch a movie? I put on a cartoon for you?”
Aster said happily, “Okay!”
Seeing that he was full of vigor, Larissa let out a faint smile.
Larissa herself did not eat much either. She barely managed to force all the pasta down into her
stomach. As for the side dishes, she
could barely taste them. She watched TV with Aster for a while before answering a call from Aldovia in
the midst of it giving an explanation for her early leave without warning today to her superior in
Westonia.
Her superior was concerned for her as she had gone through two accidents in such a short amount of
time. He was rather worried about
her too.
“Are you alright?” he asked. “If this is really too much, I will request the brass to have you transferred
back.”
Larissa did think of going back, but that was when she still thought that Kevan would ball Ruby out.
Since it was clear that Kevan was not going to interfere, she did not want to give up halfway through.
“It’s alright” she said. “However, I’d like to know when will the bodyguard I requested before be
assigned to me?”
“Tomorrow.” Her superior finally gave her an answer. “I specifically asked them to hurry up.”
Larissa said with gratitude, “Thank you!” Since her superior treated her so well she could not disappoint
any hopes that he had for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter ending the call, she returned to the living room where Aster had already shut all the TV.
“Why did you stop?” Larissa was very surprised.
She had watched this particular cartoon several times with Aster. It she recalled correctly, the cartoon
was only hallway through when she
left the living room.
Aster’s mood was rather low for some reason. “I don’t want to watch anymore,” he said very quietly.
Larissa sat next to him and asked anulously, “Do you feel bad? Is that why you stopped?”
Aster shook his head.
“Then why?” Larissa asked again.
Aster pressed his lips tightly together, and his head was lowered as far down as he cou
could let it. This only made Larissa feel more andous
