Chapter 842
Larissa did not completely believe what the nurse said.Forget what the other case was, but there were witnesses who saw the kid in Aster's class fall down from the slide—Aster being one of them. This could not be fake.So, Larissa only smiled and thanked the nurse for her reminder. She then left the hospital with Aster.On the way to the parking lot, Aster anxiously cleared things up. "Mommy, don't listen to the bad things the nurse said! Our teachers are all very good! They did not abuse us! Tommy really fell down the slide! I was right behind him!""I know." Larissa patted Aster's head. "Don't worry, I won't change schools for you."Aster relaxed.The hospital was not really a good place for a healthy person to stay in for too long, so Larissa did not let Wendy go in with her. Wendy waited in the car.Aster saw Wendy in the car, and he ran over while letting go of his mother's hand. Aster opened the car door and was about to jump onto Wendy when Larissa snapped.

Larissa did not want Wendy to keep this child. Still, it was important to keep Wendy's body healthy regardless of what decision Wendy would make.Wendy looked at Larissa with mixed feelings. She forced down the tears that were coming and thanked Larissa seriously.Aster reacted the complete opposite. He looked down disappointedly and secretly texted Kevan. "Mommy's going to cook at home again." He added a crying emoji.Kevan sent back a series of hug emojis and comforted him. "When I get back I will cook the most delicious things ever for you. Just bear with it for a while."Aster sent more crying emojis. "I thought we could go out and eat since Godma's here today!"Kevan was interested immediately. "Your godma's with you two today? Her boyfriend's gone?" Kevan checked his work phone. He did not receive any news that Edmund had left Aldovia."Her boyfriend's not gone. He must be working I guess. Godma came to pick me up with Mommy," Aster said.Kevan could not help but be

Larissa did not need to think to know who Wendy was talking about."Are you an ostrich?" Larissa dug out Wendy's phone from between the couch cushions and gave it to Wendy. "The more you don't answer, the more he'll think crazy things."Wendy pouted as she got up reluctantly. She answered the video call under Larissa's forceful gaze. To prevent Larissa from seeing Edmund's face, Wendy turned around and forced a normal smile to appear on her face.Wendy was like Larissa, having worked in the customer service industry for many years. She was good at faking her emotions. Edmund did not notice anything as he asked Wendy, "Have you eaten?""Nope." Wendy brushed her hair over from behind her ear to cover her face, which was free of makeup. "I'm waiting for my chicken soup to be ready.""You still have chicken soup? How nice!" Edmund's voice was filled with admiration.Wendy asked him, "What about you? Have you eaten?""I can't eat without you." Edmund's voice was the type that lov

Dylan's voice sounded in the background. "Larissa's friend is pregnant with Edmund's kid?"Kevan gave Dylan a cold glare to shut him up. "Does Wendy want the kid?" Kevan asked."I think she does." Although Wendy said that she did not know, Larissa could tell what Wendy was really thinking of based on her actions. "She wants to go discuss it with Edmund tomorrow."Kevan was silent for a while."What's wrong?" Seeing his reaction, Larissa was more anxious."Edmund probably wouldn't want her to abort the kid." Kevan calmly analyzed things for Larissa. "The kid is his key to controlling Wendy. It will make Wendy stick with him even more. By then, when he wants to do bad things to you, Wendy might even support him because of the kid.""No way!" Larissa retorted automatically. She believed that her friendship with Wendy could not be destroyed by anyone or anything."To Wendy, maybe you're more important than Edmund, but you may not necessarily be as important as her own kid. That's ex
Chapter 846
Because of the topic that Kevan raised, Larissa had nightmares for the whole night.In the nightmare, she was back to the days when she was pregnant and helpless. She went through the experience of struggling with whether or not she wanted the child again. But this time, Wendy was not with her.When Larissa woke up in the morning, her pillow had a big wet stain on it. It was super obvious on the light blue pillowcase. Afraid that people might see, Larissa purposely changed out the sheets and pillowcases, washed them, and hung them out on the balcony to dry.It was to the point that Aster saw it after waking up, and he exclaimed, "Mommy! Did you wet your bed?"Larissa did not want to talk to her stupid son. After she prepared breakfast, she grabbed her keys to leave the house."I'm going to pick up your uncle."Because Larissa had a kid at home, Lewis arranged for the extra lessons to be held at Larissa's place in order to make things convenient for her.Lewis' car was park
Chapter 847
Lewis had been looking around for a bit, but he never saw any sign of Kevan having lived here before.Larissa did not plan on telling Lewis about her relationship with Kevan now, so she made up an excuse. "Aster and I are temporarily living here. Wendy just got a new boyfriend who used to try to date me before, but she doesn't know it. I feel like it was a bit awkward, and I'm worried that she might figure it out."Kevan just happened to have a place here, so he let us move over."Lewis nodded and stopped asking anything else.…The "extra lessons" lasted for the whole morning.Larissa ordered takeout instead of cooking in the afternoon to save more time for her learning.When she was eating, she spoke to Lewis. "If you're free in the afternoon, could you help me watch Aster for a bit? I have a window shopping and dinner date with Marilyn."Lewis agreed, but he did not forget to remind her. "Come home early."Larissa gave Lewis the "okay" sign.…Larissa met up with Marilyn
Chapter 848
Larissa did not know if Marilyn was doing it on purpose or not, but all of her actions made Larissa feel somewhat annoyed.She refused Marilyn's good intentions. "These clothes are suitable for you, but not quite suitable for me. Just keep them for yourselves."Marilyn seemed to have sensed something as her mood changed suddenly. "Larissa, are you upset?" She anxiously held Larissa's hand as she hit the nail on the head. "Because I bought clothes that you don't like?"Larissa pressed her lips tightly together. Her silence was considered a positive answer.Marilyn was honest though. "Fine, I admit it, I did it on purpose."Larissa was surprised. "Why?"Marilyn huffed as she pretended to be unhappy. "Because I'm mad! You ignored me for this whole week! When you were window shopping with me, you weren't serious either! I asked you if the clothes looked nice, but you still weren't serious!"Larissa scratched her face awkwardly at Marilyn's scolding. "Sorry." Thankfully, the best thi

Marilyn was obviously disappointed. "What?" But she did not make things hard for Larissa. "Alright then. Go do your thing."…Larissa kept calling Wendy's number like crazy, but no one answered at all. Eventually, Wendy's phone gave out the message that the phone had been turned off, though Larissa did not know if it was because Wendy was annoyed or if the phone's battery ran out.Larissa was more anxious than ever, and she slammed her foot on the gas pedal to drive over to her old apartment as fast as she could.Larissa still had her old key to the apartment even though she had moved. The truth proved that this was a wise choice.She could not even be bothered to change her shoes as she charged into the living room, but the scene in the living room was completely different from the way Larissa imagined it—Wendy was sitting on the couch, a huge bucket of fried chicken in her lap. There was a massive oil stain around her mouth from chewing on chicken wings. The trash bin nearby w
