Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 404

Aster held the bottle of water with both hands. As he was about to drink from the opening, he

froze on the spot when he heard Dylan’s question. The sparkle in his eyes disappeared for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

“I don’t have a dad,” he said calmly with a nonchalant expression. There was no hint of sadness or regret in his voice. “Instead, I have two moms. I have a very happy family.”

He intentionally emphasized the last sentence

Dylan couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart when he heard this.

“I see.” Dylan patted Aster’s hair affectionately and discreetly plucked a strand from his head.

While Aster was distracted, he put the strand of hair into a small sealed bag and carefully tucked

it into the hidden pocket of his suit.
