Chapter 563
Sweet Subterfuge
Probably because she had eaten something and her throat was moistened, her voice sounded less hoarse than before.
However, she stil felt a little breathless, so she had to take longer pauses between her words.
âYour phone was turned off, so he couldnât reach you. He was so worried that he was almost in tears.
In fact, Aster had already burst into tears. During their phone call he was sobbing so hard that he couldnât speak clearly. He kept repeating. âUncle Kevan, does my mommy not want me anymore?â
Larissa had sent him back to Aldovia with such resolution, and now she seemed to be completely cutting off contact with him.
It wasnât surprising that a sensitive and vulnerable child like him would have such thoughts.
Naturally, Kevan wouldnât tell the truth to Larissa.
âHeâs very worried about you. He kept asking if I knew where you were and what you were doing.â
Feeling sorry for Aster, Larissa couldnât help the tears that welled up in her eyes, almost spilling over.
She gritted her teeth and blinked her tears away. âHow did you respond to him?â
âI told him that you went abroad on a business trip and would be away for some time.â
Larissaâs anxious heart was slightly reassured at his words.
âThank you.â she said with sincerity.
Smiling gently at Larissa, Kevan said affectionately. âThereâs no need to be so formal with me.â
Larissaâs heart fluttered in her chest inexplicably.
Flustered, she quickly averted her gaze, trying to conceal her nervousness and racing heart.
She kept reminding herself to not fall into the same trap again, âI have another favor to ask of you. Can you bring my two cats to the pet shop for boarding?â Larissa struggled to change the subject.
With her injuries, it would probably take several months to recover. She would need someone to take care of her during this time, so she definitely wouldnât have the energy to care for those two cats.
Thinking about it, she felt even more guilty. When she left for Aldovia, she abandoned them once, and now, she was abandoning them again, albeit temporarily.
If they were human, they would probably hate her by now.
âAlright,â Kevan agreed readily.
âThis is the password to my house. The cat food and litter are in the kitchen cabinets. When you bring the cats to the pet shop, you can bring their stuff along, or you can just buy them directly at the shop itself. And also Larissa rambled on instructing Kevan about the cats.
Once she finished explaining everything that needed to be said, Kevan had no reason to linger any longer.
With a stern face, Gary showed him out. Mr. Rogers, itâs time for you to leave.â
Kewan got up tactfully, taking the trash with him as he tell Before he left, he waved at them with a grin. âI meet you again tomorrowâ
Gary muttered in disapproval as he stared at the closed door, âFat chance! No oneâs going to meet you tomorrow!â
Sensing Larissaâs gaze on him, he immediately put on a kind smile and asked her with concem, âLart, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?
Lewis put on a straight lace and turned around, covering his eyes in embarassment.
There was something she needed to clarity. âDo you know who hit me?â
The car accident was obviously intentional, However, everything happened so quickly, so she did not have the chance to see the driverâs lace clearly.
Nonetheless, she could guess who it was.
Seeing the troubled expression on Garyâs face, she became even more certain.
