Their enthusiastic greetings startled Larissa, causing her to develop a splitting headache.
Aster clung to Larissa’s clothes, shrinking back into the car behind her.
With a polite smile, Larissa nodded to them in acknowledgment.
“Hello, everyone.”
Maintaining her aloof demeanor, she helped Aster out of the car and entered the hotel amidst the
onlookers curious gazes.
“Do we have a y area for children in the hotel?” she asked the assistant manager beside her.
“Yes, we do.” He nodded and turned to Aster. “Shall I have someone escort the young man to the
children’s y area?”
Larissa didn’t hesitate. “Yes, please ”

The assistant manager called over a lobby attendant. “Take the general manager’s son to the children’s
y area and take good care of him. Make sure he doesn’t get hurt, understand?”
The attendant replied nervously, “Yes, I understand.”
Larissa handed Aster over to the attendant and squatted down to his level. “Have a good time
ying in the children’s y area. Call me if you need anything
Aster had a phone inside his teddy bear backpack. He knew how to operate it as he had been
using it ever since he started kindergarten,
Aster nodded obediently. “Okay.”
He followed the attendant and walked away without making a fuss.
The Winston Hotel was a five–star hotel, fully equipped with all kinds of facilities. The children’s
y area was free for hotel guests and took up an entire floor,parable to those in shopping
malls.
Aster yed on the slides for some time and then with building blocks.
After the go–kart tracks were open, he watched enviously on the sidelines as other children and
their parents raced around the tracks.
“Do you want to y?” Aster heard a cheerful voiceing from above.
Aster looked up, his eyes widening in confusion. “Uncle Dn? Why are you here?”
Dn ced his hands on his knees and bent down.
“I happened to pass by outside and saw you standing there. You seemed eager to try.”
He nced at the go–karts zooming by. “If you are willing, I can y with you. What do you think?”
Aster’s eyes shone with excitement, but he hesitated when he remembered his mother and
godmother’s advice. They had warned him countless times that he shouldn’t talk to strangers nor
ept anything given by them.
However, Uncle Dn wasn’t considered a stranger, right?
“Are you my mom’s friend?” he asked Dn.
Aster vaguely remembered hearing him mention “friend” to his mother yesterday
“Who is your mom?” Dn asked deliberately.
Since Larissa hadn’t coordinated their stories in advance, Aster gave an honest answer. “My mom is
Larissa! The woman who was with me yesterday!”
Dn pretended to exim in surprise and exined to Aster, “Oh! I used to be very good friends with
your mother. However, after she went elsewhere, our rtionship wasn’t as good as before.”
“Oh, I see!” Aster caught on quickly. “It’s the same with Toby! Toby was my best friend in kindergarten.
However, after he moved to Manleigh, he never called me again”
He pouted, seemingly a little disappointed
Dn gently patted Aster’s head,forting him, “Don’t be sad. You can still be friends with Toby in
the future, just like your mom and me!”
“Is it true?” Aster blinked innocently at Dn.
“Of course it’s true!” Dn smiled sincerely. “So now, do you want to y with me?”
Asterpletely believed that Dn was a friend of his mom.
“Yes!” Without hesitation, he pulled Dn’s hand and dragged him towards the go–kart tracks.
Dn drove him around the go–kart tracks for almost half an hour until Asterined that he felt
dizzy.
They found a ce to sit down and rest.
Dn opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Aster.
“By the way.” Dn asked casually, “did you go on a business trip with your mom and leave your dad
alone at home?”
