Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 722
“Of course. I missed you! Larissa pinched his chubby cheeks fondly and straightened up. She asked Allen, “Shall we leave now?”
“Wait a minute!” Allen turned around and entered the house. In less than two minutes, he appeared with a brown paper bag and passed the bag to Larissa. “I made some sandwiches. Both al you must have left home very early. Have you had any breaklast?”
Coincidentally, they had left in a hurry. Larissa didn’t have time to prepare breakfast for themselves.
She handed the paper bag to Aster and reminded him, “Say thank you to Uncle Allen!
On the contrary. Aster didn’t seem to be in a good mood. He appeared dejected and his excitement from yesterday had completely disappeared.
Holding on to a comer of the paper bag. Aster’s arm hung limply at his side. For some reason, he didn’t make any move to retrieve the sandwiches from the bag.
“Thank you. Uncle Allen,” Aster said with a forced smile. He quickly diverted his gaze from Allen and hung his head, staring at the ground.

The smile on Larissa’s face faded as she cast a wored glance at Aster. However, she couldn’t ask him the reason for his unusual change in front of Allen and Freddy.
The four of them went into the elevator. Freddy held Larissa’s left hand while Aster held onto her right.
Freddy was in high spirits. Without a moment of silence, he chatted away excitedly.
“I want to go on the rollercoaster later! Larissa, can you accompany me?”
“I want to take a picture with Ronald Duck! I love Ronald Duck so much?
“I also want to eat that roasted turkey leg! I saw pictures of it, and it is bigger than my face”
Larissa played along with Freddy, but her attent on was secretly focused on Aster’s reaction.
In complete contrast to Freddy. Aster kept his head down, as if he had something on his mind. Even when Freddy talked about his favorite superheroes, Aster seemed indifferent.
This was very unusual for Aster.
Frowning, Larissa felt the unease in her heart growing stronger.
When they reached the ground floor, Allen and Freddy went to pick up their car. Larissa took this opportunity and questioned Aster immediately, “What’s the matter? Do you feel sick? if you’re feeling uncomfortable, I will et Uncle Allen know and we won’t go to Disnieland today.”
Although Freddy would be disappointed, Aster’s health was of utmost importance.
“I’m not sick!” When he heard this, Aster looked up at Larissa and gave her a sweet smile. However, Larissa noticed a hidden grievance in his smile.
