Chapter 523
Although Kewan really wanted her to, he did not dare push his luck when he saw Larissa’s face
darkening. He reached over Aster’s head and swiped the tissue out of Larissa’s hand, hastily rubbing it
over his lace.
“All done.” He raised his hand and threw the crumpled tissue into a trash can that was a few leet away
in a perfect arc.
Yet another round of exclamations sounded around them, and even Larissa had to look at him in a
whole new light.
Aster clung to Kevan even more and asked him with puppy–dog eyes, “Daddy, when will you teach me
how to shoot hoops?”
Kevan replied without hesitation, “When you’re resting this weekend.”

Larissa watched this while her heart sank slowly.
Having lost some momentum in the first activity. Kevan and Aster got Larissa to join in on every other
activity that they could participate in to gain more points, and they gave their all in every activity.
Larissa had never taken the competitions seriously, having planned to pick a few easy and relaxing
activities to participate in to bond with her son, but their passion caused her to cultivate a lighting spirit
too–she did not want to hold them back and cause them to miss out on the prize that they should have
rightfully gotten,
The truth was, most parents didn’t share the same sentiments as Larissa. They were not very
interested in the prize. Therefore. Larissa’s family had very little competition. In the end, they got first
place as they wished, and received the prize onstage in front of everyone.
Aster was standing with his chest puffed out his face filled with pride. Larissa had never seen him like
this before. He was always a sweet. understanding, and mature young man toward her and Wendy. It
was only when he was with Kewan that his childlike side would be exposed–he would be just as willful
and stubborn as the other kids his age, and would cry, throw tantrums, and be inconsiderate of others

Larissa shockingly did not know if this change was a good one or a bad one.
The first prize was awarded by the principal in person. It was a seven–day summer holiday trip to
Kailadon. The prize included two–way tickets, pre–booked hotels, a local guide as well as tickets to
several well–known tourist spots. It was worth around one hundred thousand dollars.
One hundred thousand dollars was nothing to the parents who could send their kids into this
kindergarten, but a completely pre–planned trip that one could just enjoy? That was something very
attractive indeed!
After the awards ceremony, someone immediately came over to Larissa to talk to her the moment they
got off the stage. “I’ll give you ten thousand dollars for a spot on this trip, please?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTruthfully, Larissa was interested in a summer holiday in Kailadon. Alas, she really could not take
seven days off work like this. Besides, the principal had emphasized that all three of them had to go,
and no one could pull out from it when he presented the prize to them. She did not want to go on a
vacation with Kevan, much less stay in the same room as him for seven days.
She agreed at once. “I’ll give you the spot, but I don’t want your money.”
“No Having overheard their conversation, Aster protested strongly against it. “No way! I want to go to
Kalladon with Daddy and Mommy!”
The moment he said that Larissa and the other mother were stuck in an awkward situation. The mother
quickly said, “Forget it then. If the kid wants to go, well, we can’t say no to that, can we?”
Larissa frowned hard and grabbed Aster’s hand.
“I talk to him for a bit and give you an answer later.” She smiled apologetically as she led Aster to a
quiet corner.
Kevan was trapped by a group of parents he had met at work before, and he watched helplessly as
Larissa took Aster away with an absolutely dark look on her face. He was anxious but could do nothing
about it
