Chapter 783
Larissa sneakily went to the door. She pressed herself against the door to listen to what was happening outside.
The living room seemed to be empty.
Larissa rejoiced. She planned to get her laptop and documents back in secret without Kevan noticing.
Alas, the moment she opened the room door, she heard the sound of the next door opening too.
“Mommy!” Aster shouted, “You’re awake!”
Larissa’s heart skipped a beat. Her expression showed some annoyance at the untimeliness of her son’s
appearance.
Kevan followed behind Aster. He looked at her, his eyes stopping at a specific place before they quickly moved
away. His expression became somewhat unnatural too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLarissa was confused as she touched her face. Still before she could figure out what was wrong. Aster shouted out
the problem.” Mommy! Why is your mouth swollen?!”
Larissa froze.
Aster was young. He screamed. “Did you trip on your mouth? Did a mosquito bite you? Are there even mosquitoes
in winter?”
Larissa covered her mouth and ran back to her room. She saw her swollen lips in the dressing table mirror. There
was even a spot that bled. A light touch made it hurt. She did not have to think too deeply to figure out who was
responsible for this.
That fucker, Kevan! He dared do this disgusting thing to her while she was asleep!
Rage made Larissa’s face become hideous. But when she thought of Aster, she forced herself to smile. When
Larissa went out again, Kevan was playing with building blocks with Aster on the living room floor.
The blocks were from Gary, who bought them the last time he came here. Aster could build the model of a city with
it. Aster had worked on it for many days, but he’d only built less than a tenth of it. The progress was very slow
The building blocks now had a bit of the city’s shape.
“Mommy, Daddy’s amazing!” Aster boasted to Larissa. “He is almost finished building this for me! I can take it to
school to make the other kids jealous of me tomorrow! I’ll make them know how amazing my daddy is!”
Kevan pressed his lips together as he smiled at Aster. When he saw Larissa coming over, he signaled to her with his
chin to get the one- time–use mask on the coffee table.
“Wear that,” he said. “There’s a kid in the house after all” When he said the other half of his sentence, he stared at
her lips again.
Larissa was not sure if he wanted her to wear a mask to avoid viruses or to cover up the results of his disgusting
act.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she thought of the state she was now in, Larissa ripped open the mask’s packaging and put on the mask. She
did not dare to get too close to the other two and sat on the couch that was further back.
“Where’s my laptop?” she asked Kevan. ‘I need to go back to work tomorrow. I must finish my work.”
Kevan did not stop her this time. “It’s all in the study,” he said.
Larissa went to the study immediately. Her things were there like he said. They were placed with Kevan’s own
laptop.
Larissa moved his laptop away, but her elbow accidentally knocked into the mouse nearby.
Kevan did not seem to have turned off his laptop. It was only in sleep mode due to being left alone for too long. The
moment the mouse moved, Kevan’s laptop screen lit up, and the lock screen was shown.
Shockingly, the lock screen wallpaper was a picture of her,
Larissa found the person in the picture familiar but unfamiliar at the same time.
That was not a recent picture of her. It was a picture of her from a long time ago It seemed to be from when she
was still in high school.
