Chapter 517
Larissa needed a person who could remain neutral and objectively analyze the pros and cons of each
choice for her. The only person she
could think of who had no connection to Kevan and had a wealth of life experience was Gary.
Due to the family sports day, the kindergarten started an hour later than usual.
When Kevan told Larissa to head to work as he would take Aster to the kindergarten, Larissa hesitated
for a moment.
Noticing that. Kevan smirked and said. “I’ll leave after dropping him off at the kindergarten.”
Larissa was taken aback, feeling a sudden pang of guilt.
“Alright, thank you,” she replied, forcing a smile as she lowered her head,
Instead of going to the hotel Larissa went to the hospital, Gary would be discharged that day, and it

Since Gary had woken up early, he had already dressed up and packed all his clothes and belongings
into a suitcase by the time Larissa arrived.
“Why did you come so early?” Gary stood up quickly upon seeing Larissa, a smile playing on his lips.
Larissa had told him yesterday that she would come, and he had been waiting for her.
He thought she would be delayed by dropping off her child at school and checking out of the hotel but
she arrived a few hours earlier than he expected.
“I ran into a little trouble and wanted to come earlier to talk to you,” Larissa replied, smiling awkwardly.
Gary turned solemn. “What kind of trouble? is it serious?”
Larissa knew he had misunderstood and quickly waved her hand. “It’s not the kind of trouble you’re
thinking of I’m just a bit confused about my own life plans, and I was hoping you could give me some
advice.”
Gary visibly relaxed, “Oh I see! Sure, go ahead.”
He straightened his back and leaned back against the headboard.
“Well..” Larissa’s lips suddenly felt like they were too heavy to move even though she had rehearsed
her words countless times in her mind.
Even though she had prepared her speech in her mind, it still felt embarrassing to say it out loud.
“As you know, I have a son,” she said hesitantly, struggling with her words.
Gary nodded.
“He’s an unexpected but beautiful surprise in my life.” Larissa couldn’t help but smile lovingly as she
thought of Aster when he was just born. “He has never had a father since he was little, and he was
raised by me and my friends.”
Aster never had a father since he was littleUpon hearing that, Gary was lost in thought. He looked at
Larissa, his eyes filled with an apology she couldn’t understand.
Larissa paused and asked, “W, Logan, is something wrong?”
With a jolt, Gary quickly regained his composure, shooting a wry smile at her. “It’s nothing, please

Though she was puzzled by his reaction, Larissa didn’t pry further.
“Alright. My son used to be very obedient and sensible, never mentioning his father. But after returning
here… he became close to one of my male friends, and they got along well, Gradually, he developed
other ideas…
“Your son wants your friend to be his father, but you don’t want that. At the same time, you don’t want
to disappoint your son, right?” Gary quickly figured out her dilemma,
“I’ve tried that,” Larissa sighed. “He always promises me, but secretly tries to set me up with my friend.”
“What about giving him the cold shoulder? If you don’t give him any hope, with time, he will give up on
his own.” Gary suggested, “Actually, you don’t have to worry so much about this matter. Just follow
your heart and do what you truly want. Many people who become parents end up living for their
children, and I don’t think that’s a good thing. Everyone has their own life, and constantly
accommodating others is exhausting and you will lose yourself.”
“I understand what you’re saying, but Larissa lowered her head, hiding the tears in her eyes, “I can
empathize with him quite well…”
