Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 402

Their enthusiastic greetings startled Larissa, causing her to develop a splitting headache.

Aster clung to Larissa's clothes, shrinking back into the car behind her.

With a polite smile, Larissa nodded to them in acknowledgment.

"Hello, everyone."

Maintaining her aloof demeanor, she helped Aster out of the car and entered the hotel amidst the onlookers' curious gazes.

"Do we have a play area for children in the hotel?" she asked the assistant manager beside her.

"Yes, we do." He nodded and turned to Aster. "Shall I have someone escort the young man to the children's play area?"

Larissa didn't hesitate. "Yes, please."

The assistant manager called over a lobby attendant. "Take the general manager's son to the children's play area and take good care of him. Make sure he doesn't get hurt, understand?"

The attendant replied nervously, "Yes, I understand."

Larissa handed Aster over to the attendant and squatted down to his level. "Have a good time playing in the children's play area. Call me if you need anything."

Aster had a phone inside his teddy bear backpack. He knew how to operate it as he had been using it ever since he started kindergarten.

Aster nodded obediently. "Okay."

He followed the attendant and walked away without making a fuss.

The Winston Hotel was a five-star hotel, fully equipped with all kinds of facilities. The children's play area was free for hotel guests and took up an entire floor, comparable to those in shopping malls.

Aster played on the slides for some time and then with building blocks.

After the go-kart tracks were open, he watched enviously on the sidelines as other children and their parents raced around the tracks.

"Do you want to play?" Aster heard a cheerful voice coming from above.

Aster looked up, his eyes widening in confusion. "Uncle Dylan? Why are you here?"

Dylan placed his hands on his knees and bent down.

Dylan gently patted Aster's head, comforting him, "Don't be sad. You can still be friends with Toby in the future, just like your mom and me!"

"Is it true?" Aster blinked innocently at Dylan.

"Of course it's true!" Dylan smiled sincerely. "So now, do you want to play with me?"

Aster completely believed that Dylan was a friend of his mom.

"Yes!" Without hesitation, he pulled Dylan's hand and dragged him towards the go-kart tracks.

Dylan drove him around the go-kart tracks for almost half an hour until Aster complained that he felt dizzy.

They found a place to sit down and rest.

Dylan opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Aster.

"By the way," Dylan asked casually, "did you go on a business trip with your mom and leave your dad alone at home?"
