Larissa sighed deeply.
Aster turned to look at her with concern and asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”
Pursing her lips, Larissa ran through what she was going to say in her head before voicing it to Aster.
“Aster, will you be disappointed if I turned up alone to the Fun Family Sports Day tomorrow?”
He seemed momentarily stunned, probably not expecting Larissa to bring up this topic.
“Can’t I get Uncle Kevan to come with us?” he asked.

Hanging his head, he replied in a low voice that was filled with disappointment, “Well Mommy can
come alone. I won’t be unhappy about 11.”

Smiling. Kevan said. “I didn’t persuade her, It was your mom’s own decision to have a pet.”
Aster was even more surprised. “How is that possible? Mommy would never let me have a pel! The
reason she decided to have pets must be because they are from you!”
Kevan enjoyed the flattery and praise that Aster showered on him, even though he knew deep down
that it wasn’t true.
“Uncle Kevan, can you do me a favor?” Biting his lower lip, he looked at Kevan expectantly.
“Of course.” Kevan always accommodated Aster’s requests regardless of what it was.
He never even asked what Aster needed help with in the first place.
“My kindergarten is organizing a Fun Family Sports Day tomorrow. Can you come with my mommy and
