    Chapter 721


    Kevan’s face was calm and emotionless.


    “It’s not worth it for you to make the trip. It’s too far.” Without hesitation, Larissa shot him down.


    Gary had invited hiswork of close friends in Aldovia. Kevan wasn’t close to any of them. Thus, it


    would only be awkward for him. Besides, he had his own job to take care of.


    “Alright” Kevan replied, pursing his lips. He did not confirm whether he would attend or not. “You guys


    should have an early night. Aren’t you going to Disnind tomorrow? You won’t have enough energy to


    y if you don’t go to sleep now.”


    “Yeah.” Larissa nodded, suppressing her reluctance to hang up. Avoiding Kevan’s gaze, she lowered


    her voice and spoke to Aster. “Say goodbye to Daddy.”


    “Bye, Daddy!” Because of his excitement to go to Disnind, Aster bid Kevan goodbye immediately.


    Usually, he would try to prolong the


    call for as long as possible.


    Kevan’s eyes shone with amusement. With a wide grin, he ended the call in a cheerful tone. “Bye,


    goodnight!”


    When the video call ended. Wendy continued bugging Larissa about it. “Why didn’t you invite Mr.


    Rogers to the banquet? It’s one of the


    most important turning points in your life! Don’t you want him to witness that?”


    “Do you think Mr. Rogers has as much free time as you? Besides, it is just a small banquet. There’s


    nothing special about it” Larissa


    red at Wendy.


    *Alright suit yourself! I’m going to bed now. Tomorrow, I have to do overtime at the office.” Wendy


    dismissed her impatiently.


    Carrying Aster in her arms, Larissa stood up from the sofa. “We’ll turn in for the night too.”


    Larissa had promised Freddy that she would pick him up at his home on Saturday morning.


    With Aster in tow, she pressed the doorbell, However, it was Allen who answered the door.


    Larissa was stunned when she saw Allen, who was supposed to be at the office at this time. In


    contrast, Aster greeted him happily. “Uncle


    Allen!


    Allen squatted down and patted Aster on the head. With a tender smile, he said, “Aster, long time no


    seel


    Larissa recovered her senses and questioned Allen. “Why are you at home?”


    After that previous incident, she felt awkward whenever they had to interact face-to-face.


    ‘I’ve applied for leave, so I will apany you to Disnind. Freddy and Aster are two energetic


    young boys. I’m worried that you won’t be able to handle them, so I feel morefortable going along.


    In addition, since you can’t drive, I can fetch all of you there. It would be more convenient for


    everyone.” Allen replied nonchntly, staring at Larissa with innocent eyes.


    Lanssa convinced herself to not overthink things. Allen had always been very protective of Freddy, so it


    was natural that he would be


    worried about her bringing Freddy to Disnind.


    However, it would be just the both of them with the two boys. If things were as before, she wouldn’t


    have thought twice about it but now.


    she feltpletely ufortable around Allen.


    Nheless, she had promised Aster and Freddy. Allen had also taken leave from work. If she went


    back on her word, these three boys


    would definitely not forgive her.


    “Alright.” Larissa could only agree.


    When Freddy heard Larissa’s voice at the door, he ran out with his little backpack.


    “Larissa” He dived into Larissa’s embrace and rubbed his head on her clothes, messing up his blond


    hair.


    Squatting down, Larissabed Freddy’s hair back and smiled sweetly at him. “Good morning,


    Freddy! Did you have a good night’s sleep? Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “Of course! I slept really wellst night!” Freddy clung to Larissa’s arm, fixing his blue eyes on her. His


    eyes were a carbon copy of Allen’s.
