refuse to let me tak to him?”

for leaving you.”

“Alright, that’s enough,” Larissa relented and said. “After your business trip. I find time to send him
back.”

living in Westonia was one of the

“Mommy!” Aster hugged her tightly and refused to let go. “I’m not going! I want to stay with you!”
His voice was trembling as he tried to stifle a sob
When she saw this, Wendy pouted, tears streaming down her cheeks as she said, “You ungrateful brat!
Are you abandoning me for Mommy?”
Larissa cuddled Aster tightly and hissed before hanging up the call. “We’ll talk about it next time.”
She gently patted Aster’s back to calm him down and tried to hold back her own tears that were
threatening to spill over.
“Aster, don’t you want to go back to school? Your friends are still waiting for you! Didn’t you all agree to
go to Disnieland together next month
However, Aster shook his head and hugged her tighter. “I don’t want to go to school! I don’t want to go
to Disnicland! I just want you. Mommy!”
