Chapter 724
Allen did not stop the car, but he didn’t drive to Disnieland either. Turning the car around, he drove in the direction of Larissa’s home.
Tll send you back home. I won’t feel comfortable letting you go back on your own,” Allen said out of consideration for her. His tone was firm, leaving no room for Larissa to refuse.
Freddy cried for almost hall the journey there, but no one in the car pald him any attention. Even Larissa, who usually treated him kindly, maintained a stem expression throughout and ignored his crying.
Freddy was truly afraid. Choking back his so bs, he huddled in a comer of the backseat for the latter half of the journey. He shot glances at Aster, who was sitting beside him, and at Larissa, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
After venting his anger, Aster gazed out of the car window, lost in thought. Larissa stared ahead in a daze, unaware of Allen’s frequent glances.
In half an hour, the car stopped at the ground floor of Larissa’s home.
As soon as the car came to a halt. Larissa snapped back to her senses and unbuckled her seatbelt immediately.

“Larissa…” Allen began cautiously, but Larissa cut him off without even looking back, “Save it for another day.”
She opened the car door decisively. The moment her foot touched the ground, Aster had already appeared in front of her.
Without a word, he grabbed her hand tightly. A sharp pain radiated from her fingers straight to her heart. She held onto him, enveloping his tiny hand in hers.
“Let’s go home.” Suppressing the urge to cry, Larissa tried to sound as calm as possible.
Wendy had the day off today.
When Larissa and Aster left in the morning, she was still sleeping in her room. By the time they returned, she had just woken up. Feeling hungry. Wendy was making oatmeal in the kitchen.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she poked her head out of the kitchen. When she saw Larissa and Aster at the door, her eyes widened in surprise. “Why are both of you back so quickly?”
Biting his lower lip, Aster didn’t say a word. He changed into his slippers and went back to his bedroom.
Wendy stared at the closed door concernedly and gestured to Larissa. In a whisper, she asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
Larissa walked into the kitchen and poured half a carton of milk into a saucepan. She heated it on the induction cooker and cut up some toast. “There was a little accident”
Wendy exclaimed in horror, “Accident? What accident? Is anyone hurt?”
“Not that kind of accident. Go and play with Aster for a moment. I’ll tell you everything once I’ve made breakfast.” Larissa was dejected as
well and she didn’t feel like talking much.
