Chapter 722
âOf course. I missed you! Larissa pinched his chubby cheeks fondly and straightened up. She asked Allen, âShall we leave now?â
âWait a minute!â Allen turned around and entered the house. In less than two minutes, he appeared with a brown paper bag and passed the bag to Larissa. âI made some sandwiches. Both al you must have left home very early. Have you had any breaklast?â
Coincidentally, they had left in a hurry. Larissa didnât have time to prepare breakfast for themselves.
She handed the paper bag to Aster and reminded him, âSay thank you to Uncle Allen!
On the contrary. Aster didnât seem to be in a good mood. He appeared dejected and his excitement from yesterday had completely disappeared.
Holding on to a comer of the paper bag. Asterâs arm hung limply at his side. For some reason, he didnât make any move to retrieve the sandwiches from the bag.
âThank you. Uncle Allen,â Aster said with a forced smile. He quickly diverted his gaze from Allen and hung his head, staring at the ground.
The smile on Larissaâs face faded as she cast a wored glance at Aster. However, she couldnât ask him the reason for his unusual change in front of Allen and Freddy.
The four of them went into the elevator. Freddy held Larissaâs left hand while Aster held onto her right.
Freddy was in high spirits. Without a moment of silence, he chatted away excitedly.
âI want to go on the rollercoaster later! Larissa, can you accompany me?â
âI want to take a picture with Ronald Duck! I love Ronald Duck so much?
âI also want to eat that roasted turkey leg! I saw pictures of it, and it is bigger than my faceâ
Larissa played along with Freddy, but her attent on was secretly focused on Asterâs reaction.
In complete contrast to Freddy. Aster kept his head down, as if he had something on his mind. Even when Freddy talked about his favorite superheroes, Aster seemed indifferent.
This was very unusual for Aster.
Frowning, Larissa felt the unease in her heart growing stronger.
When they reached the ground floor, Allen and Freddy went to pick up their car. Larissa took this opportunity and questioned Aster immediately, âWhatâs the matter? Do you feel sick? if youâre feeling uncomfortable, I will et Uncle Allen know and we wonât go to Disnieland today.â
Although Freddy would be disappointed, Asterâs health was of utmost importance.
âIâm not sick!â When he heard this, Aster looked up at Larissa and gave her a sweet smile. However, Larissa noticed a hidden grievance in his smile.
âAster.â Larissa was flooded with complicated emotions.
âI really donât feel sick at all!â Aster grinned widely and ran circles around Larissa to prove his point.
âSee, Im line!â
With a lump in her throat, Larissa tried to hold back her tears and said seriously. âAlright. You must tell me immediately if anything is wrong.â
âOf course!â Aster beamed happily. He seemed to have recovered some of his energetic Iveliness.
Allen came to pick them up in his car.
Freddy pored his head out from the backseat and waved towards them frantically. âLarissal Aster Quick, get in the
car
Larissa was about to open the door to the backseat when Freddy stretched out his hand and stopped her. âLarissa, why donât you sit in the front? Aster and I are going to play a game in the backseat He said in a coy manner, smiling memily.
Although Larissa was reluctant, she couldnât reject his request.
