    “Hasn’t he been calling you Daddy all this while?” Larissa pretended to not understand Kevan


    Still Kevan persisted. “You know what I mean.”


    Larissa bit her lip and fell silent.


    Kevan continued stemly, “You should know how much Aster craves a father’s love. Larissa, our issues


    should not involve Aster. He has


    the right to have both a father and a mother.”


    Larissa understood everything Kevan said, but —


    “How are you going to exin to him your years of absence in his be? How are you going to tell him


    about our past? Right, and that daughter of yours. Aster doesn’t like her, and vice versa. How are you


    going to handle the rtionship between them going forward?”


    Larissa’s questions were likendmines that stood between Kevan and Aster.


    Kevan paused for a moment and said hesitantly. “I have a perfect solution to all of this


    Larissa’s curiosity was piqued. “What solution?”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Let’s get married.”


    “Hey! Hey!” Wendy stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Larissa SL Larissa remained


    motionless.


    “Oh my god! stair, your mom seems to have stopped working Wendy eximed as she hugged


    Aster tightly.


    Aster believed Wendy’s theatrics as he watched Larissa in a daze. Aster shook Larissa’s shoulders. He


    was close to tears. “Mommy!


    Mommy!


    Larissa regained her senses. Noticing their puzzled expressions, she asked. “What’s wrong with you


    guys?”


    “We should ask you that question!” Wendy peeked at the materials in front of Larissa, hoping to get


    some clues. “What are you reading? You have been staring nkly at it for such a long time! I’ve tried


    calling you but you didn’t respond!”


    “Oh, it’s nothing.” Larissa closed the file before her and thought of an excuse. “I couldn’t understand


    some parts, so I spent some time


    mulling over it.”


    She held Aster in her arms and stood up. “Im feeling hungry. What should we have for dinner?”


    They had takeout for dinner,


    Larissa seemed preupied throughout dinner. While she cleared the table, her hand slipped and the


    food remnants spilled on her


    clothes.


    Wendy quickly took over the chores and pushed Larissa Into her bedroom. “Take a shower and rest


    early. You need to have a good night’s sleep to dazzle everyone at the banquet tomorrow!”


    After taking a shower, Larissay down on the bed, but she couldn’t sleep.


    She kept thinking of what Kevan had said, “I’ll give you a week to think about it. Regardless of whether


    you agree to marry me or not, I will


    bell Aster that I am his father.”


    Larissa knew that Kevan was forcing her to make a decision.


    It might seem as if he was allowing her to make a choice, but Kevan knew that she would choose the


    option that he wanted.


    Their marriage would legalize Kevan’s and Aster’s rtionship. The problems that she mentioned


    would be solved, at least in the short term


    Il Kevan were to announce that he was Aster’s biological father, there would be more problems. She


    didn’t want to let Aster know about her past with Kevan Still she also didn’t want to spin lies and push


    all of the me on Kevan.


    After much reflection, she had toe up with an answer that satisfied Aster and herself. It was the


    hardest thing she had ever done.


    “Life is so hard.” Staring Into the darkness. Larissa sighed.
