Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 520

Larissa froze in her tracks.

She thought Kevan had already left, but with so many variables in between, it was highly likely that he was persuaded by Aster to stay.

She sighed inwardly and resumed walking.

As she approached them, Aster ran up to her in a few steps and held her hand.

His little face was flushed, his nose covered in sweat, and his big, bright eyes were filled with a smile.

"Why are you so late?" His tone carried a hint of reproach. "Daddy and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "daddy," speaking loud enough for everyone around to hear. The gazes they received stunned Larissa—especially when she noticed that most of those gazes were filled with envy.

She lowered her head, forcing herself to smile as she silently wished to disappear. They quickly returned to where Kevan was.

As soon as Larissa met Kevan's gaze, she noticed the remorse in his eyes.

"I'm sorry," Kevan said. "I didn't feel at ease leaving Aster alone. I intended to wait until you arrived before leaving, but you were late, and I thought something had come up and you couldn't make it ..."

Ultimately, this was Larissa's own fault, and she had no right to blame anyone.

"Now that you're here, I'll leave now," Kevan touched Aster's head and softly instructed, "Have fun with Mommy."

There was a hint of melancholy on his face, subtle but keenly captured by Larissa.

Larissa wasn't interested in sports. From childhood to adulthood, physical education was always a subject that dragged her down. Every time there was a physical education test, she could only barely pass.

Hence, she never thought about winning anything. On the other hand, the two guys beside her were both pumped up, and their passionate display of enthusiasm frightened Larissa.

"We must get first place!" Aster shouted, raising his fist in the air.

Kevan immediately echoed, "First place will definitely be ours!"

Larissa had no idea where their confidence came from.

The number of students in this kindergarten wasn't small. There were many students taller and stronger than Aster, and many parents taller and stronger than her and Kevan.
