Gary kept Larissa for dinner before letting her and Aster go home. Aster was already tired when he got into the car, so he slept for the rest of the journey home.When Larissa got to their apartment building, she called Kevan and said, "Your son's fallen asleep, come get him upstairs."Kevan simply picked Aster up without any problems. Although Larissa already knew about the difference in strength between men and women, she was still shocked at Kevan's display of strength."This brat has gotten fat at my dad's place. I get super tired after holding him for a while. If you weren't here today, I'd have no idea how to get him upstairs."Kevan's footsteps were steady and calm. His strong arms did not even tremble. Smiling, Kevan said, "Next time, just let me do this kind of hard work.""Sure!" Larissa agreed happily. After they entered the elevator, she asked, "Has Wendy gone to sleep?""No idea. She ate dinner and went back to her room. She never came out after that.""Oh. How is s

Larissa and Aster took turns comforting Wendy until she stopped crying.Aster even suggested sleeping with Wendy that night to show that he still liked her. This nearly set Wendy off for the second time.After finally dealing with both Wendy and Aster, Larissa returned to her room.Kevan rubbed her shoulders and asked, "They're both asleep?""Yeah. I'll send Aster to school tomorrow. You take Wendy to the hospital," Larissa said. "What's wrong?" Kevan frowned. "Is there something wrong with Wendy's health?""No—" Larissa's voice was filled with helplessness and exhaustion. "To the hospital that Edmund's in. Wendy wants to meet him one more time and finish things with him.""You should stop her." Kevan disagreed with Wendy's actions. To continue tangling oneself with someone like Edmund was just a waste of one's time."I did. It was useless." Larissa was very tired too. "She felt that she had been lied to by Edmund too badly. If she doesn't go meet him, she won't get over this.

"Edmund, what's wrong?" Wendy looked super confused. "Don't you want to clear yourself of all charges?""I …" Edmund gritted his teeth and chose the path with fewer consequences. "I won't be in jail for too long. If you're willing to wait for me … I'll be out in a few years, and we can still be together."Wendy, I don't want you to take that risk. We can't win against Kevan. If you sue him, you will only give him the chance to attack us again."Wendy was silent as she "seriously" considered Edmund's words. Then, she agreed. "Alright, then." She rubbed her own stomach and said lovingly, "Baby, be a good baby, hmm? Let's wait for Daddy to come back together."Edmund's fear was dispelled. "After going back, just make up with Larissa," he advised her. "Once I'm in jail, she will be the only one who can take care of you. I hope you and the baby can be safe and healthy. I will have something to hope for while I'm in jail.""But Larissa and Kevan treated you so badly …" Wendy was still p

There was a massive suitcase in Lewis' office. Lewis knocked on it proudly. "Wanna see?""It's our working hours." Larissa remembered the lessons taught to her by her cold superior at all times. "We cannot do anything unrelated to work.""I get to say whether or not something is related to work." Lewis couldn't care less about the fact that he was eating his own words. He simply put the suitcase down and got down on one knee.Larissa could not resist the temptation as she went closer to look.Lewis had brought back a hell of a lot of presents. So much that a whole suitcase got stuffed full with it. Clothes, bags, jewelry, cosmetics—there was everything, and they were all expensive luxury items."Is our company … really in a crisis?" Larissa stared at Lewis with suspicion. With the money he had spent … he did not look like he was going through a fucking crisis at all."It's cheaper to buy things from there. It's rare for me to go too," Lewis explained. He moved aside so that Laris

Marilyn did not suspect anything, and she actually sighed sadly for Larissa and said, "You're working too hard!"Larissa smiled and mocked herself. "The company's not doing very well recently, so I've got to cling on to Mr. Logan Junior and make sure that I don't get fired by him."After a brief pause, she asked Marilyn, "What about you? You've left for so long, why did you come back?""Oh, I forgot something." Marilyn smiled dryly as she let Larissa enter the elevator. She pointed behind her and said, "Well … I'll go get my stuff."Larissa asked, "Do you need me to wait for you?""No, no, no!" Marilyn quickly refused. "You go on ahead. I have no idea where I put my stuff, so I might need to look for a while.""Okay, then." Although it was already past the peak hours for work dismissal, there were still people in the office building. Larissa could not let the elevator stop at the topmost floor for so long, so she dragged the suitcase in with her. "I'm leaving. See you tomorrow."
