Gary was eager to meet Aster. Although it was another hour until kindergarten ended, he urged Larissa
to leave home as soon as possible.
There was not a soul at the kindergarten’s entrance when they arrived.
Larissa sat in the car and stared at Gary negotiating with the security guard at the entrance. Alter a
while, Gary returned to the car with a dejected expression.
“Why are the security guards at this kindergarten so strict? They don’t even let the parents in to see
children in ss heined bitterly through the car window.
“It’s all for the children’s safety. Let’s just wait for another half an hour. It will be quick” Larissa
comforted him.
Still Gary refused to wait there without doing anything. He got Lewis to drive to the nearest mall and
lilled up the trunk with toys in half an hour.
Larissa tried to stop him, but it was to no avail
“It’s my first meeting with my grandson. I have to make a good impression so that he will like me.”
Larissa said helplessly. “If you’re going to be like this all the time, you will spoll him one day.”
“We shall think of the solution when that timees.” Gary refused to change his mind.
Larissa could feel a migraineing on.
When they went back to the kindergarten, sses were long over. The entrance was busting with
parents and children leaving the premises.
Larissa was worried that Gary would be jostled by the crowd. She asked him to wait in the car, and she
would bring Aster out but Gary refused. He wanted to apany Larissa
On the way, he kept asking Larissa nervously. “Do you think Aster will like me? Will he like the toys I
bought? Won’t he be afraid of me?”
Larissa reassured him repeatedly. “He will definitely like you.”
Most of the time, it was Wendy who picked Aster up, Larissa only came a few times before. That’s why
it took Larissa more time to look for Aster’s ss.
As usual most of the students in Aster’s ss had left when she came to pick him up. Aster was sitting
on a chair, ying with some blocks in front of him.
Aster’s homeroom teacher recognized Larissa. On his first day of kindergarten, Larissa had taken a
day off and sent him to school with Wendy. Thus, the homeroom teacher had assumed that Larissa and
Wendy were a couple, making a strong impression on her.
Aster’s teacher greeted Larissa warmly, “Ms. Seymour, long time no see!” Turning to Aster, she called,
“Aster, your mum’s here!”
In Aldovian, there wasn’t a term for “godmother,”
When Aster first enrolled in kindergarten, Wendy referred to herself as Aster’s mother as well. The
teacher would tell Aster that his mother had arrived regardless of whether it was Larissa or Wendy who
came to pick Aster up.
Aster’s response was nonchnt. He calmly cleared the toys on his table away, went in the lockers to
get his bag, and slowly walked to the door of his ssroom,This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
The moment when he saw that it was Larissa standing outside, his eyes widened. The next second,
tears rolled down his cheeks. “Mommy!” Aster rushed up to her eagerly and wrapped his arms around
Larissa’s waist. He buried hisce in her yellow down coal, wetting it with his tears.
Tears welled up in Larissa’s eyes. If other people weren’t present, she probably would have cled as
well
The teacher was stunned at Aster’s outburst and patted his head fondly. “Aster must have missed you
very much, Ms. Seymour, regardless of how busy work can be, you should carve some lime out for
your son
Blushing from embarrassment by the teacher’s reproach, Larissa agreed, “Yes, I will.”
Probably because he felt shy. Aster buried his face in Larissa’s neck and refused to look up regardless
of how Larissa Iried to persuade him.
Gary followed behind the two of them, his gaze fxed on Aster, He wanted to start a conversation with
Aster, but he couldn’t seem to lind the right words.
