    She wasn’t angry with Kevan. She didn’t even resent Muffin for scratching Aster.


    “Hey,” she said, suddenly changing the subject. She asked seriously. “Have you considered taking your


    daughter to a psychologist?”


    Although Mullin had always been more mischievous than Cookie since she was little, she was not a cat


    that would scratch people for no


    reason–otherwise, Kevan wouldn’t have brought her to Larissa,


    In Larissa’s opinion. Muffin’s strange behavior had been caused by Bethany’s mistreatment.


    Larissa had noticed earlier that Muffin and Cookie’s soft, beautiful long fur was particrly sparse in


    certain parts of their bod es–it was clearly not due to shedding, but rather, someone had been plucking


    their fur. There was no one else she could think of except Bethany.


    Previously, when Bethany bullied ssmates at school, Larissa attributed that behavior to her family


    spoiling her. However, she likely had an innate antisocial personality or a mental illness she abused


    animals for no reason. Whatever the case was, she needed professional


    treatment.


    Kevan didn’t know how to answer Larissa’s question. He knew very well in his heart that Ruby had


    ruined Bethany, twisting her personality


    to a point of no return.


    He didn’t pity Bethany as his


    upbringing had taught him to set


    to set even familial ties aside. Thankfully, he hadn’t grown to bepletely heartless. Aside from the


    people he considered his own, he didn’t feel anything toward others. On top of that, Bethany was Ruby


    and


    Cody’s chid.


    However, he had to act like he cared about Bethany in front of Larissa, otherwise, she would form a


    negative opinion of him.


    He said solemnly, “After my grandfather’s funera, Ill discuss it with my mother.”


    “Oh, by the way,” Cue to the heavy atmosphere in the car, Kevan changed the topic. “Aster told me that


    their kindergarten has a family


    sports event tomorrow-


    Before he everpleted his sentence, Larissa could guess the rest of it. “Did he ask you to


    apany him?”


    Although Kevan neither nodded nor shook his head his eyes said it all.


    If Aster hadn’t been injured, Larissa would have wover him up to give him a good, proper scolding for


    always going against her wishes!

    He was so different from when he first came back. Larssa couldn’t help but start to think whether it was


    the right choice to let him stay here.


    “Don’t always indulge him,” she said to Kevan. “Because you never refuse him, he now dares to make


    such unreasonable requests of you.” “I don’t t


    think it’s an unreasonable request, Kevan spoke up for Aster. “Children always hope that both their


    parents can be by their side.”


    “But you’re not his father,” Larissa said, shutting him down.


    “I don’t know what history you shared with Aster’s biological father, but perhaps you’ve also noticed


    that Aster intends to matchmake us.” Kevan brought up the topic that their divorce certificate had made


    taboo.


    Unprepared to have such a frank conversation with him, Larissa was a little flustered for a moment.


    “That’s Just Aster’s wishful thinking.” she muttered lowering her head and avoiding eye contact with


    Kevan.


    Afraid that he would misunderstand, she added. “Of course, I don’t dislike you or think you’re not good


    enough. I just feel that my current state is good, and I don’t want to be tied down by another person.


    Besides, think about your daughter and your parents. If we were really together, it would also be a big


    challenge for me ard Aster to get along with them.”
