When Larissa went to pick Aster up in the afternoon, she noticed that the other parents, especially the
mothers, were looking at her with a different expression from before.
Just as she was feeling puzzled about it, a parent who had chatted with her a few times earlier while
waiting to pick up their children deliberately came up to Larissa.
Raising her eyebrows, she said in a teasing manner, “Your husband is really handsome! No wonder
you seemed so secretive about him and wouldn’t let him show up at the kindergarten!”
Taken aback, Larissa froze for a moment before realizing that the “husband” she was relerting to was
probably Kevan.
“Are you still trying to feign ignorance? The other parent nudged Larissa with her elbow and gave her a
reproachful look. “I heard it myself. your son called him ‘Daddy‘ this morning!”
Aster…
Larissa felt both angry and yet powerless at the same time.
She had no energy left to argue, so Larissa simply gave her a laint smile and brushed her off.
After waiting for a while, the classroom door opened and the children swarmed out
Aster threw himself into Larissa’s arms, his face beaming brighter than usual.
“Mommy!” He greeted her with a loud and cheerful voice.
However, Larissa was unable to force a smile.
She wasn’t sure whether his unusual behavior today was related to Kevan, but she had a feeling that it
was highly probable.
Some girls approached Aster timidly and asked, “Asler, will your dad come to the sports day
tomorrow?”
The smile on Aster’s lace laded, and a troubled expression appeared instead.
“Im not sure. It depends on whether he has time off tomorrow.”
The girls dispersed, seemingly disappointed.
Meanwhile, Larissa overheard the crux of the conversation. “What sports day?”
“Fun Family Sports Day. Ms. Gilmore said that she would notify the parents in the WhatsApp group
later.” Aster answered.
Larissa’s heart sank. This again…
Her head was already starting to throb.
Back in Aldova, Aster’s kindergarten often organized these parent–child activities. The aim was to
increase communication within the family and deepen the bond between parent and child.
She didn’t oppose such activities as they were beneficial for a child’s growth.
However, she couldn’t attend every event due to her busy work schedule, so Wendy would go on her
behall occasionally.
In the Aldovian–speaking environment, there was not a term to replace the word “godmother“, so Aster
had always referred to Wendy as his “mommy” as well.
Naturally, the teachers and other parents in the kindergarten mistook Larissa and Wendy for a couple.
Although same–sex marriages were legal in Aldovia, people stil gave Larissa and Wendy strange
looks, and their condescending attitudes. extended to how they treated Aster as well.
Since then, Larissa had become very reluctant to attend parent–child activities at the kindergarten.
Ella’s message came earlier than Larissa had expected.
As soon as Larissa and Aster got into the car, a WhatsApp notification appeared on her phone. “The
kindergarten will be organizing an
everyone! Be sure not to miss it
All the contacts in the group were tagged in the message.
After Ella left her message, all the other parents typed in their replies, stating that they would allend the
activity tomorrow,
Larissa couldn’t help but join in, typing her reply. “Noted with thanks.”
Once she replied to Ella’s message. Larissa was trapped in a dilemma.
Ella had made it clear that both moms and dads had to be present. Although she said that it was
merely “highly encouraged, it was obvious that most of the events required both parents to participate
with their children.
Larissa wished for Aster to have a great time, without any regrets.
It she were to attend the sports day alone, not only would he miss out on many events, but it might also
invite gossip from others.
Having said that, Larissa couldn’t just randomly find anyone to fill in for the role of Aster’s dad at the
last minute.
