Lewis pulled Larissa aside and stated, “It will just be the two of us.”
“Get it! Sure thing!” The man took the initiative to help with the luggage cart
He smiled as he continued. “My car is parked outside. So, please follow me for a short walk”
Larissa turned to Dn and inquired. “What about you?”
“My car is parked on the basement level We’re headed in different directions.” Dn replied, gesturing
casually behind him.
Larissa tumed her attention to Aster.
She embraced I m and nted a kiss on his cheek.
She ruffled his hair as she advised. “Be a good boy and listen to Daddy, I have to work today, but I’ll
come see you tomorrow.”
Aster nadded in understanding.
She then exchanged a nce with Kevan, who was also looking at her.
In his jet–ck eyes, there was a subtle hint of reluctance.
“Well
See you tomorrow.” Larissa said.
“Sure. See you tomorrow,” Kevan replied. He had a gentle and tender smile on his face.
“Where are we going?” Dn inquired as he drove onto the highway.
“To my parents‘ ce.” Kevan responded.
He was momentarily distracted as he unwrapped a packet of cookies for Aster.
Dn nced at the harmoniousther and son duo in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
“Are you sure about this?” Dn asked.
Kevan raised his gaze, locking eyes with Dn. “Why do you ask?”
Dn’s gave shifted to Aster. “How are you going to exin to them…

“Open the gatel Maria pounded on the heavy iron gate with her knile.
Her voice was strained as she shouted, “Give me back my Edmund!”
Aster, unfamiliar with such a situation, cowered in Kevan’s arms.
“Daddy, who is she?” he asked in a hushed tone.
Kevan whispered, “She’s someone who isn’t well.”
He gently shielded Aster’s eyes with his hand and offeredfort, “You don’t need to be scared,
buddy. I’m here.”
Dn retrieved his phone and asked Kevan, “Should we call the police?”
Kevan nodded in agreement.
The three of them remained seated in the car.
They listened to Maria’s relentless stream of curses while patiently waiting for the police to arrive.
However, Dn’s Land Rover drew too much attention.
Before long. Maria noticed the suddenly parked car, still running.
She clutched her kitchen knife as she approached.
Dn made a swift decision.
He shifted gears and stepped on the gas pedal.
His car zoomed past her before she could discem who was inside the vehicle.
Maria didn’t pursue them.
Dn parked the car around the corner, ensuring it was out of Maria’s line of sight
“That disy by Ma was quite unsettling.” he admitted,
His heart was still pounding. It wasn’t that he was afraid of her, but with a child in the car, he had to
exercise caution.
The banging on the gate resumed, apanied by Maria’s continued verbal tirade.
“Come over and hold Aster,” Kevan instructed Dn.
“Huh? What do you intend to do?” Dn raised an eyebrow His senses were on high alert.
