Chapter 720

Before Larissa could stop him, Aster had already run out with his phone on a video call with Kevan “Daddy! Mermy’s bringing me to Disnieland tomorrow!” Aster shouted with glee. He couldn’t wait to share the good news with Kevan.

“Really?” Although the connection wasn’t too good, Kevan’s deep voice was still pleasing to the ears.

His relaxed tone had a hint of amusement in it. “Why aren’t you asleep? It should be past ten right now.”

“I’m going to sleep in a while!” Aster ran up to Larissa, kicked off his slippers, and climbed on the sofa.

He snuggled into her arms and pointed the phone camera in Larissa’s face. “Daddy, do you want to talk to Mommy?”

Larissa was caught by surprise. When she met Kevan’s gaar over the phone, she couldn’t help but feel flustered. After a long pause, she greeted him awkwardly. “Hello!”

“Hi” Kevan replied, He seemed to be surprised as well. His expression stiffened for a few seconds before returning to his usual smile.

“Why aren’t you asleep as well? Her mind blank Larissa couldn’t think of what to say. To avoid an awkward lull, she simply thought of the easiest question to ask, However, once she said that, she remembered that it was still day in Caldor. “Oh. I’m sorry! I forgot the lime difference”

Hearing her continuous apologies. Kevan’s smile became wider, and his eyes appeared more tender than ever.

“I am a little tired. After I’m done with my work, I might take a nap,” he replied.

1 see. Then you should continue with your work. Ill put Aster to bed.” Larissa responded dryly, as she didn’t know what else to say.

Standing across from her, Wendy rolled her eyes and shouted in a loud voice. “Mr. Rogers, don’t hang up yet”

Kevan was stunned by the sudden voice. He looked intently into the camera, but he couldn’t see anyone else in the frame.

“Ms. Simmons? He recognized Wendy’s voice.

Larissa glanced towards Wendy. Nolicing the smirk on her lace, she felt Il at ease.

As expected, Wendy asked. “Mr. Rogers, will you be attending the banquet the day after tomorrow?”

Krvan blinked, making his surprise apparent. “What banquel?”

“Didn’t you tell Mr. Rogers? Wendy looked toward Larissa. puzzled.

Of course. Larissa didn’t tell him. She had not intended to tell Kevan that she would start work at Blue Star Shipping.

Larissa was afraid that he would see through her plans as he had keen observation skills.

Kevan’s gaze returned to Larissa’s face. Fixing his gaze on her, he asked in an aggrieved tone, “What does Wendy mean?

Larissa could or ly surrender. She told Kevan everything. Tresigned from my job al Winston. Alter this, I will work as an assistant to my father in Blue Star Shipping. My father wants to introduce me to his business partners, so he prepared for a banquet”

Unexpectedly, Kevan did not probe into the reason why she entered Blue Star Shipping.

“It’s good that you will be working in Blue Star Shipping. With Uncle Gary and Lewis around, your job would be much easier,” Kevan agreed with her decision.

“Yes, that’s what I thought as well,” Larissa brealted a sigh of relief and went along with what Kevan said.

They circled around the subject for so long, but they had still not talked about the main point, making Wendy frustrated, She cut in abruptly and asked Kevan, “M. Rogers, will you be attending the banquel?“.

Aster looked at Kevan expectantly. “Daddy, will you come?”

However, Kewan passed the ball to Larissa. “Will you allow me to allend?”
