Kevan stared at her. He did not say anything, but his emotions were overflowing from his eyes."I know it hasn't been a week yet. But—" He licked his lips out of nervousness and held her hands instead. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Do you have an answer already?"Larissa froze at once. She did not think that he would mention this. She had been counting the days. There were still three days left before the week was up. Larissa was not someone who dragged out decisions, but this specific decision was hard for her.She wanted to wait. But … Kevan could not seem to wait any longer."I …" She lowered her head. She did not know what to say.Kevan's bright eyes dulled at once. He did not plan to rush her. He knew that she still held things against him, and knew that this would not disappear so quickly.He was willing to give her time to process everything. But he could feel that she did care about him through her attitude today. And the reason that she cared about him—The more he

Larissa hated taking pictures. This weird quirk was because of a very unhappy experience from her childhood.The Seymours were a typical rich family. When the first compact camera was just invented, Lana owned one when she was still in elementary school.Children were always curious about new things. As a result, whenever Lana ran around the Seymour Mansion taking pictures with her camera, Larissa would sometimes secretly watch Lana from her bedroom door.The camera film only had twenty snaps per film roll. The Seymours did not have a special darkroom, and it was rare for the photo studios on the streets to have one too.So, Lana always took several photos on several film rolls, and a driver would take them all to a photo studio several miles away to get them developed. After that, the photos would be brought home.Lana was young. The camera was more like a toy to her. She took very random photos, so there were too many films that were either too bright or too blurry. The photos c

Kevan did not avoid Larissa's attacks. He just stood there and used his chest to bear it all.Larissa was really angry. She used a great deal of her strength to throw the pillow, but she did not expect that Kevan would just stand there and let her beat him.So, when she saw him sway dangerously, her guilt swallowed the rage from before, and words of concern escaped her mouth. "Are you okay?"The pillow fell off Kevan's body. He gripped his chest with pain, and there was a painful expression on his face.Larissa panicked even more. She threw the blanket off and got closer to him."Does it hurt?" she asked anxiously as she sat on her legs in front of him. She did not know what to do all of a sudden.Kevan did not say a single word as he gritted his teeth. He seemed to be in the greatest pain possible."Sorry …" Larissa's forehead began to sweat from her panic. She reached out to rub his chest but realized halfway through that this was not suitable.But she had not even pulled her

Larissa licked her lips in disappointment as she muttered, "Then how the hell did you even know me …"Her high school life was incredibly simple. In order to get into an important university and change her fate by escaping the Seymour family, she spent every single moment of her life studying.Any free time she had she was studying at home and revising her work. She never wasted time on anything else. In other words, Kevan could not have known her at all unless he was in the same school as her.Larissa's blank expression did not seem fake. Kevan's tense feelings relaxed again. He had been excited and happy then because he thought she finally remembered him. But in the end, she did not, and disappointment took over Kevan.He'd had her in his heart for so many years. He thought of her every day and night and never forgot about her. He thought that he was special to her at least.But now he realized that he was only a random nobody to her. He never mattered in her life."I didn'

Larissa's body froze. She turned around to look at Aster.Aster seemed rather angry as he stared at Larissa with disapproval.Larissa quickly let go of Kevan. She was about to explain when the kid said, "You guys are not hugging me!" He pouted. Larissa found his hurt look very funny.Kevan was the calmest out of all three of them. He waved to Aster and said, "Come here."Aster's eyes lit up at once, and he ran to Kevan.Kevan gave Larissa his laptop and bent down to hug Aster.Aster hugged Kevan and left a big, wet kiss on his cheek. "Daddy's the best!"Kevan glanced at Larissa, who had a complicated look on her face as she stood there. He purposely asked Aster, "Is Mommy not good?""Mommy is good too!" Aster always liked to flatter his mother. He naturally would not "disrespect" her now. He quickly reached out to Larissa after saying that, adding, "I want Mommy's hug too!"Larissa let her son drag her over. Aster's arms were hugging both Kevan and Larissa. It made the thr
