Chapter 515

She wasn’t angry with Kevan. She didn’t even resent Muffin for scratching Aster.

“Hey,” she said, suddenly changing the subject. She asked seriously. “Have you considered taking your daughter to a psychologist?”

Although Mullin had always been more mischievous than Cookie since she was little, she was not a cat that would scratch people for no reason–otherwise, Kevan wouldn’t have brought her to Larissa, In Larissa’s opinion. Muffin’s strange behavior had been caused by Bethany’s mistreatment.

Larissa had noticed earlier that Muffin and Cookie’s soft, beautiful long fur was particularly sparse in certain parts of their bod es–it was clearly not due to shedding, but rather, someone had been plucking their fur. There was no one else she could think of except Bethany.

Previously, when Bethany bullied classmates at school, Larissa attributed that behavior to her family spoiling her. However, she likely had an innate antisocial personality or a mental illness she abused animals for no reason. Whatever the case was, she needed professional treatment.

Kevan didn’t know how to answer Larissa’s question. He knew very well in his heart that Ruby had ruined Bethany, twisting her personality to a point of no return.

He didn’t pity Bethany as his upbringing had taught him to set to set even familial ties aside. Thankfully, he hadn’t grown to be completely heartless. Aside from the people he considered his own, he didn’t feel anything toward others. On top of that, Bethany was Ruby and Cody’s chid.

However, he had to act like he cared about Bethany in front of Larissa, otherwise, she would form a negative opinion of him.

He said solemnly, “After my grandfather’s funera, Ill discuss it with my mother.”

“Oh, by the way,” Cue to the heavy atmosphere in the car, Kevan changed the topic. “Aster told me that their kindergarten has a family sports event tomorrow-

Before he ever completed his sentence, Larissa could guess the rest of it. “Did he ask you to accompany him?”

Although Kevan neither nodded nor shook his head his eyes said it all.

If Aster hadn’t been injured, Larissa would have wover him up to give him a good, proper scolding for always going against her wishes!

He was so different from when he first came back. Larssa couldn’t help but start to think whether it was the right choice to let him stay here.

“Don’t always indulge him,” she said to Kevan. “Because you never refuse him, he now dares to make such unreasonable requests of you.” “I don’t t think it’s an unreasonable request, Kevan spoke up for Aster. “Children always hope that both their parents can be by their side.”

“But you’re not his father,” Larissa said, shutting him down.

“I don’t know what history you shared with Aster’s biological father, but perhaps you’ve also noticed that Aster intends to matchmake us.” Kevan brought up the topic that their divorce certificate had made taboo.

Unprepared to have such a frank conversation with him, Larissa was a little flustered for a moment.

“That’s Just Aster’s wishful thinking.” she muttered lowering her head and avoiding eye contact with Kevan.

Afraid that he would misunderstand, she added. “Of course, I don’t dislike you or think you’re not good enough. I just feel that my current state is good, and I don’t want to be tied down by another person.

Besides, think about your daughter and your parents. If we were really together, it would also be a big challenge for me ard Aster to get along with them.”
