Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 507

Larissa asked Aster to call Kevan.

After a while, someone answered the phone.

"Hello?" It was a little girl who answered the phone.

Who else could it be other than Bethany herself?

Aster held the phone and stared at Larissa helplessly.

Frowning, Larissa ended the call for him.

"Uncle Kevan can't come tonight because he needs to stay with Bethany," she said.

Aster was undoubtedly disappointed.

Pouting, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Uncle Kevan is a liar!" he said in an aggrieved tone.

Larissa patted his head and pulled him into her embrace.

"Uncle Kevan's not a liar. It's just that something important came up at the last minute, he probably forgot to inform you," she defended Kevan.

Although she did not want Aster to have unrealistic fantasies about Kevan, at the same time she did not want to shatter Kevan's perfect image in his heart.

After all, Kevan was genuinely fond of Aster.

"If you want to play games, I'll accompany you." Larissa made a huge compromise, hoping to cheer him up.

However, Aster showed no gratitude at all. "You're bad at playing games! I'd rather play by myself," he remarked scornfully.

Hearing that, Larissa felt like throwing the infuriating kid out of the house.

In the end, Aster could only play alone.

During the game, he sighed countless times, "It would be much better if Uncle Kevan was here!"

Larissa was on the sofa, working overtime on her laptop.

"I'm sorry for being late. I had something to take care of this afternoon, and it took longer than expected," Kevan apologized to him sincerely.

Nonchalantly, Aster responded in a generous manner, "That's alright."

Holding on to Kevan's neck, he gave him a kiss too. "Because you finally came!"

Touched, Kevan stared at Aster, his eyes filled with pride.

Larissa closed her laptop and stood up to welcome Kevan.

"You could have just let me know if you had something on, you didn't have to come over," she said.

"I made a promise to Aster, so I should keep it." Kevan took off his hat and walked in, carrying Aster in his arms.

As he walked past Larissa, he handed her the gift. "My mom asked me to pass this to you."

Looking into the bag, Larissa accepted it gracefully. "Please thank your mom for me," she replied.
