    Larissa’s eyelid twitched involuntarily, and her heart seemed to have stopped beating. “He


    Due to panic. her thoughts were all jumbled up in her mind. At that moment, she did not know how to


    exin the situation. In her lustered state, Larissa couldn’t think of anything else to say other than the


    first word she blurted out


    Aster noticed her dilemma and answered Gary on Larissa’s behall. “He’s not my real dad! I’m talking


    about Uncle Kevan. He knows that I don’t have a dad, so he allowed me to call him Daddy. Asier


    lowered his head dejectedly, as it all the happiness he exuded just now was sucked out of him.


    “Uncle Kevan? Kevan Rogers? Gary came to a realization.


    “Yes, he’s Uncle Kevan.” Aster nodded and cursed his lips together, which resembled Krvan’s. The


    disappointment in Asler’s eyes pierced Larissa’s hrat Inexplicably, the scales in Larissa’s mind quietly


    tipped in favor of Kewar


    On the other hand, Gary’sce turned scarlet with anger. Suppressing his fury, he spoke in a low voice.

    Aster did not realy immediately. He nced toward Larissa caubously and scrutinized the expression


    on her face. With that. Gary understood Asier’s intentions.


    “Alright go and pay with your toys! We don’t know when Uncle Kevan mighte again!” Gary


    squeezed out a forced smile and said through gritted teeth.


    Lewis quickly changed the topic to diffuse the situation. “Aster, do you want to y with Steel Man? His


    armor is really cool, and his chestte Ights up as well!”


    Aster’s concentration was immediately distracted. “Okay! That’s so cool!”


    Lewis secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.


    When Lewis brought Aster back to his room to change, Gary and Larissa sat in the living room and


    chatted about various topics.


    Gary tried to dig out some information from Larissa. “Are you agreeable to Aster caling Kevan his


    daddy?”


    “I tried to stop him, but he insisted. In the end, I let him be,” Larissa tightened her grip on her mug. She


    lowered her head to hide her wavering gaze.


    “How could you let a child dictate this? There’s nothing between you and Kevan. People might


    misunderstand if Aster keeps caling Kevan as his dad. Gary said with furrowed brows. He had never


    hidden his repulsion for Kevan.


    Larissa tried her best to appease him, “I will talk to Asler about this.”


    “Right, I’ve talked to Lewis about this. Once you enter thepany, you shall be my a ss start. Start


    learning from Lew’s for some time and get used to my workload. When the time is ripe, I will put you in


    a role with more Influence. Gary sipped a cup of tea and eased into afortable position,


    Although Larissa was experienced in managing a hotel her cument job scope waspletely dillerent


    since the two fields were unrted.


    Gary and Lewis had prepared a step-by-step n to prepare Larissa so that she could take over the


    company one day.


    “Okay.” Larissa had no qualms about their decision.


    Gary and Lewis had much more experience than her in running apany. Whatever they decided


    would be in her best interests.


    “You should rest well at home for a few days. On Friday, Lewis will send you to try on some evening


    gowns in preparation for the banquet on Sunday night.”


    If Gary hadn’t reminded her, Larissa would have almost forgotten about the banquet.


    “I’m a little nervous


    It wasn’t as it Larissa hadn’t attended any grand events before, but she was never in the spotlight.


    She wasn’t a fan of being in the center of attention, Too much attention would only make her feel sell-


    conscious and fustered.
