Chapter 499

Aster fidgeted and asked, “Mommy, is Uncle Kevan feeling better?”

“I guess.” Larissa was not too sure, but Kevan was sleeping well, and he did not say anything crazy. He

had to feel much better now.

“You guess?” Aster was not satisfied with her answer and he scolded her with a serious demeanor

which was not quite fitting for his age.” Mommy, how could you be so irresponsible?”

Larissa raised an eyebrow. “What?

Aster pushed her. “Hurry and go take care of Uncle Kevan! What if he relapses or something? I can

sleep on my own, I don’t need you to sleep with me!

“What are you talking about?” Larissa closed her eyes and yawned widely. “I’m tired. If you’re so

worried about your Uncle Kevan, feel free to go over and take care of him yourself.”

Aster froze for one second before he escaped from her arms. Larissa squinted at him and saw him get

out of bed from the other side.

“I’m going to stay with Uncle Kevan! He ran out of the bedroom in his slippers, pitter–pattering across

the space.

Kevan thought Larissa had returned when he heard the sound of the door opening. He did not open his

eyes and stayed still, but he listened carefully.

But the person’s footsteps were so much more hurried compared to Larissa’s. Soon, the side of the

bed dipped, and a faint milky smell

watted into Kevan’s nose.

This was the smell of Aster’s body wash, which was specifically meant for kids. He wiggled underneath

Kevan’s covers and into his arms. hugging him. His soft little body was a bit cold. Afraid that he might

get sick, Kevan quickly hugged him back

Aster looked up and stared at him seriously. The more he looked, the more satisfied he was. Uncle

Kevan was handsome, and he was good to him and his mommy. Besides his mommy did not seem to

be entirely uninterested in him.

Sensing the scorching gaze fixed on his face, Kevan could not stop himself from opening his eyes. The

moment he locked eyes with Aster, he saw the bright hope in his eyes.

Kevan was stunned.

“Aster?” He pretended to have just woken up. Having been caught in the act, Aster was a bit bashful.

But soon, he was staring openly at Kevan again, and he asked. “Uncle Kevan, are you feeling better

now?”

Kevan smiled and said. “Much better, yes.”

“Oh Aster grinned, his eyes scrunching up from his joy. “Mommy is really worried about you, so she

take care of you.”

Kevan doubted his words. Based on his understanding of Larissa, she would never let a child take care

of a sick person. This kid was honestly ingenious indeed. He kept trying to matchmake him and Larissa

these days. Kevan was happy to see it come to fruition, so he naturally would not expose the kid.

“Really?” He went with what Aster said. “Well, thank you for your hard work.”

“No way! It’s not hard at all Aster hugged Kevan tighter. “I like Uncle Kevan. My mommy also likes

Uncle Kevan. We’re taking care of you willingly, so we don’t think it’s hard work.”

Even though he knew Aster was only consoling him, Kevan’s heart fell warm anyway.

“Your mommy likes me too?‘ he deliberately asked.

“Of course!” Aster replied with certainly. “My mommy has never been so nice to other uncles!”

His words gave Kevan cause to be on alert.

“There are other uncles?”

Kevan prodded with unease. “Are there any of your mommy’s colleagues who are pursuing her?”
