    Allen did not stop the car, but he didn’t drive to Disnind either. Turning the car around, he drove in


    the direction of Larissa’s home.


    Tll send you back home. I won’t feelfortable letting you go back on your own,” Allen said out of


    consideration for her. His tone was firm, leaving no room for Larissa to refuse.


    Freddy cried for almost hall the journey there, but no one in the car pald him any attention. Even


    Larissa, who usually treated him kindly, maintained a stem expression throughout and ignored his


    crying.


    Freddy was truly afraid. Choking back his so bs, he huddled in aer of the backseat for thetter


    half of the journey. He shot nces at Aster, who was sitting beside him, and at Larissa, who was


    sitting in the passenger seat.


    After venting his anger, Aster gazed out of the car window, lost in thought. Larissa stared ahead in a


    daze, unaware of Allen’s frequent nces.


    In half an hour, the car stopped at the ground floor of Larissa’s home.


    As soon as the car came to a halt. Larissa snapped back to her senses and unbuckled her seatbelt


    immediately.


    “Larissa…” Allen began cautiously, but Larissa cut him off without even looking back, “Save it for


    another day.”


    She opened the car door decisively. The moment her foot touched the ground, Aster had already


    appeared in front of her.


    Without a word, he grabbed her hand tightly. A sharp pain radiated from her fingers straight to her


    heart. She held onto him, enveloping his tiny hand in hers.


    “Let’s go home.” Suppressing the urge to cry, Larissa tried to sound as calm as possible.


    Wendy had the day off today.


    When Larissa and Aster left in the morning, she was still sleeping in her room. By the time they


    returned, she had just woken up. Feeling hungry. Wendy was making oatmeal in the kitchen. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Hearing the sound of the door opening, she poked her head out of the kitchen. When she saw Larissa


    and Aster at the door, her eyes widened in surprise. “Why are both of you back so quickly?”


    Biting his lower lip, Aster didn’t say a word. He changed into his slippers and went back to his bedroom.


    Wendy stared at the closed door concernedly and gestured to Larissa. In a whisper, she asked,


    “What’s wrong with him?”


    Larissa walked into the kitchen and poured half a carton of milk into a saucepan. She heated it on the


    induction cooker and cut up some toast. “There was a little ident”


    Wendy eximed in horror, “ident? What ident? Is anyone hurt?”


    “Not that kind of ident. Go and y with Aster for a moment. I’ll tell you everything once I’ve made


    breakfast.” Larissa was dejected as


    well and she didn’t feel like talking much.


    At least, she had taken two bites of the sandwich Allen made. Aster hadn’t eaten anything all morning,


    she was worried that his stomach


    would ache.


    Although Wendy was dying of curiosity, she followed Larissa’s instructions and took her oatmeal to


    Aster’s bedroom.


    However, when Larissa came out with breakfast for Aster, Wendy was sitting alone in the living room,


    scooping oatmeal into her mouth.


    Before she could ask, Wendy interrupted her. “Aster doesn’t want to y with me. He said he wants to


    be alone for a while.”


    Larissa walked to the door of Aster’s bedroom and knocked. “Aster, I’ming in.”


    There was no reply from him, Opening the door, Larissa was met with darkness. Aster hadn’t turned on


    the light. He had drawn the ckout curtains tightly.


    From the faint light in the living room, Larissa could make out a small form on the bed. Her heart was


    gripped with sadness. She turned on the lights in the room and approached Aster with a tray in her


    hands.


    “Aster, get up and have some breakfast.” She sat on the edge of the bed and ced the tray on the


    bedside table.
