Chapter 399
As someone had lived in the apartment before Larissa, it came fully furnished, although the furnishings
were slightly dated.
Larissa didn’t mind. With her busy schedule, she would only return home to sleep. Everything else was
of no use.
She made the beds in the two bedrooms and hung up their clothes in the closet one by one. Aster ran
around happily and helped Larissa cut by handing the clothes to her.
After she Enished unpacking, thekecut she ordered arrived.
Larissa set herptop on the table and made a video call to Wendy, who was on the other side of the
world.
After a moment, Wendy’s face appeared on theputer screen.
Aster greeted her cheerfully. “Godmal”
Tears welled up in Wendy’s eyes as soon as she saw him. “Aster, my dear! I missed you so much tool
“Don’t cry, Godma!” Aster turned to Larissa helplessly, slightly panicked at Wendy’s tears.
Larissa threatened her nonchntly. “If you’re going to cry. I’ll hang up immediately!”
Through her tears. Wendy gave Larissa a pointed re. “You took my godson away! How could you
refuse to let me tak to him?”
Larissa stared back, equally stubbornly. “It was your fault that you went on a business trip this month
and couldn’t take care of Aster! Who was it that forced me to bring him along?”
If it weren’t for Wendy’s trip, Larissa wouldn’t have brought Aster with her to Bartham
Apart from having a close group of friends. Aster had gotten used to life over there.
Although Larissa wasn’t happy to be working alone in another country, she couldn’t bear seeing her
son abandon his life overseas and
start all over in Caldor
Wendy’s indignant expression disappeared, and she turned to Aster, apologizing, “Aster, I’m so sorry
for leaving you.”
Aster caressed Wendy’s face on the screen andforted her. “It’s okay. Godma
Wendy cupped her mouth, ready to burst into tears again.
“Alright, that’s enough,” Larissa relented and said. “After your business trip. I find time to send him
back.”
Aster looked at Larissa in surprise. “What about you, Mommy?”
“I have to stay back here for work.” Larissa patted his head regretfully. “However, when you start
elementary school in a lew years. I will return.”

When her superior first approached her to helm this position, she had turned down the opportunity.
After all, Lanssa had worked so hard to escape from Bartham. Naturally, she had no thoughts of
reburning.
Nheless, her superior advised her to take up the position earnestly time and time again.
Furthermore, it was revealed that this work opportunity at Bartham was a performance assessment
conducted by the headquarters.
|| Larissa passed the test, she could return to the headquarters after a few years and be promoted to a
higher position.
However, the exact period of how long she would have to work in Bartham was still up in the air,
depending on the upper management’s decision.
At this juncture, Larissa had no reason to refuse.
She was no longer young and did not have time to waste on a dead–end job. In addition, the cost of
living in Westonia was one of the highest in the world.
“Mommy!” Aster hugged her tightly and refused to let go. “I’m not going! I want to stay with you!”
His voice was trembling as he tried to stifle a sob
When she saw this, Wendy pouted, tears streaming down her cheeks as she said, “You ungrateful brat!
Are you abandoning me for Mommy?”
Larissa cuddled Aster tightly and hissed before hanging up the call. “We’ll talk about it next time.”
She gently patted Aster’s back to calm him down and tried to hold back her own tears that were
threatening to spill over.
“Aster, don’t you want to go back to school? Your friends are still waiting for you! Didn’t you all agree to
go to Disnind together next month
However, Aster shook his head and hugged her tighter. “I don’t want to go to school! I don’t want to go
to Disnind! I just want you. Mommy!”
