Chapter 470
Wendy fell silent for a moment before asking Larissa, âDo you remember Barbaraâs prediction back then?â
Of course, Larissa remembered, even though six years had passed, and they had long moved away from the town without further contact
with Barbara
Her feelings toward Barbara had transformed from initial dislike and rejection to gratitude. If it were not for Barbara, she would have never been convinced to keep the child.
But she didnât understand the purpose behind Wendyâs question. âWhy are you bringing this up now?â
âWell Barbara said that you will reunite with your ex-lover,â Wendy said with a serious tone. She always believed in Barbaraâs words. âSo.
perhaps, now is the time.â
Kevan had lost his memory and had no connection to Larissaâs past. His words to Aster couldnât be baseless-either he was interested in Larissa, or he genuinely liked Aster. Regardless, he would make a fitting âfather figureâ for Aster. More importantly, Aster also liked him lot.
Larissa appreciated Barbara, but it didnât mean that she believed in all of Barbaraâs nonsense.
âBarbara even said I would meet a long-lost relative or friend. What happened to that?â
During her years abroad, Wendy was her only friend, and Aster was her only family.
Wendy was at a loss for words for a moment but quickly found a reason to justify her words. âMaybe the timing wasnât right. Anyways, it
eventually be proven.â
Larissa snorted. âLetâs wait for it then.â
âHey!â Wendy grew frustrated. âWhy are you so stubborn? I donât believe Kevan is showing so much affection for Aster for no good reason! Donât you like him too? Heâs single now! How about seizing the opportunity?â
âWhen did I ever like him? Larissaâs voice grew louder as she became angry and embarrassed that her secret was being revealed. But she couldnât recall ever admitting to Wendy that she liked Kevan. So, how did Wendy know?
âWell, Barbara said. You still love him,â Weny answered confidently.
Larissa would have smashed her phone if it werenât for her concern over wasting money. âCan you stop bringing Barbara up every two
seconds?
âAlright, alright. I wonât mention her again. Letâs talk about Aster.â Wendy cleared her throat and looked directly at the camera. âThereâs something Iâve been hesitant to tell you.â
Larissaâs eyelid twitched upon hearing that. She instinctively felt that Wendy wasnât about to share anything good.
âNot long ago, Aster asked me who his biological father is.â Wendyâs expression carried a hint of worry.
âHeâs growing up and starting to understand many things. So, naturally, he has a longing for his father.â
Larissaâs heart sank bit by bit. She knew Aster wanted a father, but she thought she could delay telling him the truth and deceive him. She didnât expect him to secretly ask Wendy about it.
âInstead of having Aster troubled by the identity of his biological father, I think itâs better for you to find him a reliable stepfather. As you said, Kevan cares for Aster, and Aster likes him too. Not to mention you Wendy saw Larissa throw a warning lock at her, so Wendy stuck her tongue out in response. âWell anyway, Kevan is the best candidate.â
Kevan was the best candidate? Larissa couldnât agree with that.
âThe girl who used to bully Aster at school was actually Kevan and his dream girlâs daughter. After the incident where Aster got hurt, Kevan transferred his daughter to another school. His dream girl went crazy alter being unable to see her daughter, and she blamed everything on Aster. She even kidnapped him and hurt him.â
Larissa hadnât told Wendy about this, fearing she would worry too much.
Upon hearing that, Wendy was so furious that she exclaimed, âWhat?â She wanted to book a fight and teach that woman a lesson that 1/2
âSo, yeah. No one knows what that woman would do if I ever got together with Kevan. Also, Iâm afraid that his daughter would continue
bullying Aster.â
Larissa admitted that she still had some lingering feelings for Kevan just a little bit. But the thought of Ruby and Bethany made her give
up all her unrealistic fantasies.
