Chapter 903
Aster looked like he was happier to see Kevan than he was to see Larissa.
Larissa sneered coldly with jealousy. âOh, so now youâre happy, huh? I donât even know who it was who said he âloved Grandpa the most
at Grandpaâs place and that compared to Daddy, he still loved Grandpa the most.â
Larissa had intended to put a wedge between Kevan and Aster. Alas, they did not fall into her trap.
Aster defended himself âGrandpa is older! Of course, I need to make him happy!â
Kevan patted Asterâs head proudly as he praised the kid. âWell done, you did the right thing.â
Aster was smugger than ever.
Larissa was unhappy as she asked. âThen if I asked you
you to choose right now, do you love me or love your daddy?â
âI love Mommy!â Aster did not have any trouble answering at all as his response was immediate.
âMommy, youâve asked this so many times!â
He eyed Larissa with great scom. He did not bother hiding it.
âUhâ¦â Larissa carefully thought about it. She seemed to have asked him this question before. But Larissa was still upset since her own son hurt her like this.
âWhatâs wrong with asking you a few more times? Canât I ask? I just love asking you this question. I will still ask you a hundred, thousand. million times!
Larissa pinched Asterâs ear hard as she pretended to be threatening.
Aster pouted as he whispered to Kevan. âMommy is so troublesome, Daddy. Youâve spoiled her.â
Kevan smiled a little. âYup, so you must listen to Mommy more next time so I can spoil her less.â
âYoo, who came back?â Wendyâs weak voice was heard.
âGodma!â Aster leaped out of Kevanâs arms and glared at Wendy, which was a surprising change from the way he usually treated his godma.
Wendyâs body was still weak. Although she could walk around, she could only do it slowly. She barely made it to Asterâs side. She pinched his fat little face and asked with amusement, âWhatâs wrong?â
Aster gave her a look that screamed. âYou really have to ask?â before retorting. âDo you still remember that horrible thing you did on Sunday afternoon?â
Wendy immediately remembered how she had left him behind at the restaurant-even though she had not really wanted to.
Wendy laughed sheepishly as she struggled to crouch down and look at Aster at the same height
âIâm so sorry, my darling boy.â She apologized sincerely. âGodma didnât mean to do it. Something happened that day, so. But Iâm definitely in the wrong. So, what do you want Godma to do to make it up to you?â
âI will tell you after Iâve figured it out.â Aster was still stone-laced as he talked about how upset he was.
âDonât you know that I was almost scared to death that day! A bad guy nearly came to take me away!
Thankfully, Iâm such a smart boy and knew to call Mommy! Thankfully, Mommy and Uncle Lewis came quickly! Hmph!â
âSorry, sorry, sorry!â Wendy hugged him to comfort him. âGodma was wrong. Next time, Godma will never leave you alone no matter what happens!
Wendy was still scared whenever she thought of what happened that day. But as Aster said, it was good that Larissa had come on time- no matter if it came to saving Aster or saving Wendy.
âAlright then!â Aster decided to make himself accept Wendyâs apology. âIâve forgiven you!â He hugged her back and patted her back like she always did.
âDonât feel sad. I still like you.â Aster said seriously.

It quickly developed into Wendy wailing very loudly, Larissa quickly helped Wendy to lie down on the couch.
Wendy sobbed hard as she kept cursing herself. âIâm st upid! I planned to abandon you guys because of that sh it man! Iâm not worthy of your kindness! Lari Aster Wendy sobbed hard. âI you Iâm not worth it!â
