Chapter 621


    Kevan locked up and saw the deep blue ceiling. It was covered in star–shaped lights. A sparkling silver


    gxy surrounded the lights. Gold dust shimmered around it.


    “These were all painted by Mommy! Godma told me that whenever Mommy had time, she woulde


    here to paint stars for me, even when she was really busy!” Aster boasted proudly.


    A scene of a slender and delicate woman standing alone on adder appeared in Kevan’s mind.


    She held a palette in one hand and a brush in the other. She was focused on painting the ceiling. How


    did she feel at that time? Probably happy. Just like how he felt right now, looking at her masterpiece.”


    However,pared to her, he also felt a hint of irexplicable bittemess.

    “Does Mommy like. I mean, the stars in the sky? Kevan struggled to speak, His voice was hushed and


    hoarse.


    Larissa must have liked stars a lot. He couldn’t think of any other reasons she would name her son


    “Aster” and put so much effort into decorating the room.


    Aster locked puzzled. He tilted his head, thinking about Kevan’s question for some time. Only then did


    he reply. “Im not sure.”


    Then, why did she name you ‘Aster?” Kevan asked.


    Aster had an answer to this question. His expression instantly brightened. His tone was filled with


    confidence as he replied, “Well that’s because I was the only light in Mommy’s darkest times! Just like


    the stars that only appear at night I gave her hope to keep going. That’s why my full name is stair


    Simmons!”


    He learned this from his godmother. He didn’t fully understand the meaning. Still he memorized it since


    it was the origin of his name.


    Kevan was taken aback. Words like “only light” and “darkest times” struck his heart with pain.


    He couldn’t imagine the emotions Larissa must have experienced when she left her home after going


    through such a diflicult time. She even gave birth to a child with an unknown father. He always knew


    she was strong. He never doubled that she could thrive on her own after losing him.


    But now, he suddenly became anxious hearing all this. What il … what if she hadn’t be pregnant


    with Aster? What if that was thest


    lime he would ever see her again?


    His heart skipped a beat just by the thought of it. He hurriedly took big strides forward, embracing Aster


    tightly.


    “What’s wrong, Daddy?” Aster asked. After the initial confusion, he fell a tile scared. He had never seen


    Kevan like this. His arms were tightly wrapped around Aster, and his body trembed.


    Kevan gritted his teeth, trying to force out a smile and say, “I’m fine,” like he always did. s, It was too


    difficult.


    His throat felt blocked. He was unable to make a sound. His nose felt stuffy. His eyes were buming. His


    heart fell as if it was breaking.


    He could only cope by holding Aster tighter, trying to convince himself that the terrifying things he


    feared hadn’t happened. His reaction was too extreme, and it might have scared Aster.


    He closed his eyes and took a long time to calm down. Atst, he let go of Aster and supported himself


    to stand up by cing his hand on the edge of the bed.


    “Didn’t you say you were hungry? Come on, I’ll cook something for you to eat.” He smiled and held


    Aster’s hand.
