Larissa did not forget her work even after she came back to Caldor. Of course, that was mostly because Lewis was keeping an eye on her. She contacted those clients every day and had to take time out to oversee the rebuilding of Blue Star Shipping's branch company in Bartham.The office address was picked by Kevan for her beforehand. It was right next to the Microworks Building, and it was the property of Microworks. Kevan had bought this office building previously for the sake of expanding Microwork's departments. Still, he could not use up all the floors, so he gave two floors for Blue Star Shipping.Larissa did not want to take advantage of him, so she offered to pay him rent according to the market price."Sure." Kevan did not refuse. "My money's yours anyway."As long as Larissa did not find it troublesome to transfer the money between them, it was fine.…After arranging all his matters, Kevan only informed Larissa the night before his flight. "I'm going to Westoni

"Of course I'll fucking blame you! Who else can I blame?" If Gary had been holding something, he would have thrown it at Kevan a long time ago.This fucking son of a bitch! Piece of shit! He fucking stole his precious daughter away from him without saying a damned thing!Although Gary knew that this was bound to happen sooner or later, they really did not respect him by having an affair right under his nose!Lewis hurriedly tried to soothe Gary again. "Calm down, Uncle. Be calm."Gary took several deep breaths before he managed to calm himself down. "You've dealt with all that bullshit with your family?" he asked.The main reason he prevented Larissa from being together with Kevan was because he felt that the Rogers family was too complicated. He did not want Larissa to get involved with all the stupid power struggles of the wealthy families.Gary had already heard of Soaring Corporation's bankruptcy and Cody's arrest resulting in his death from various media, but he coul

"When's the wedding?" Gary suddenly asked.Kevan froze for two seconds before he finally realized what Gary was asking. Then, a wave of crazy joy rose up in Kevan."It's not decided yet." Kevan did his best to stop himself from smiling as he replied calmly, "I need to see what Lari would say.""Since you're already back together, it's better if the wedding comes fast. My daughter can't possibly just follow you without anything to her name!" Gary was still unhappy with Kevan, but the asshole had already stolen Larissa away. No one could stop him now.Kevan wanted to have the wedding quickly too to prevent himself from having nightmares about it. But now Larissa was busy establishing a Blue Star branch in Bartham, and she did not care about anything else."Uncle Gary, this is a gift." Kevan took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Gary. Gary's eyes narrowed as he looked at it carefully—"A property deed?" he exclaimed in surprise.Kevan was giving him the wh

"I guess so." Kevan's voice was calm, but the smile in his eyes was obvious."Can you decide on the wedding now?" Dylan raised an eyebrow."I'll see." Kevan did not know what Larissa really wanted, so he did not dare to decide by himself."You'll 'see'?" Dylan was unhappy with Kevan's indecision. "If you drag this out anymore, you and Larissa will probably already have your second child!"Kevan was helpless. "This isn't something that I can decide by myself.""What's wrong, Mr. Rogers?" Dylan eyed him teasingly as he said, "You're already afraid of your wife now? Are you still that egotistical Mr. Rogers that I know?""I'm not 'afraid' of my wife." Kevan corrected him. "I am respecting my wife's opinions. A mansplainer like you will never understand."Dylan was very indignantly confused. "Fine, fine. It is whatever you say it is." He did not want to bother arguing with Kevan.…When Kevan got home, it was almost 2:00 am. The house was dark, and Larissa and Aster had gone to sl

"My wife," Kevan said again. He stared at her, and his eyes were twinkling.Although it was not the first time he had called her wife, Larissa still blushed anyway. She purposely looked away and put a hand over her racing heart as she retorted weakly, "We're not married yet, don't randomly call me that!""There's something I keep forgetting to tell you." Kevan had a smirk on his face while his eyes were slightly narrowed. He looked like a fox.Larissa's heart skipped a beat and she got nervous. "What?""Come here." Kevan called her, and his low voice was like the voice of a siren. Larissa could not help but take two steps forward. When she reached a range where Kevan could touch her, he reached up at once and pulled her into his arms.Larissa screamed as she fell onto the soft bed, her back slamming against Kevan's firm chest. Kevan hugged her tightly, and his breaths puffed against her cheek.Larissa was already used to the way he hugged her, and she did not feel unc

"What do you mean by that?"Larissa remembered when Kevan was still "comatose" in the hospital, Dylan had given her a divorce agreement to sign. She had gotten drunk, and because she was also triggered by Kevan and Ruby, she did not bother reading the details of the agreement. She simply signed her name on the last page."Dylan did not give you a divorce agreement, it's an agreement for asset transference. Besides, we never went to the city hall to get divorced, remember?" Kevan whispered into her ear, feeling smug about his little trick.Larissa was shocked. It was true that she did not get divorced at the city hall before leaving Caldor. But they had been living separately for six years, and their relationship had really been "shattered". She always thought that Dylan had helped her sue for divorce in court.After all, if Kevan did not divorce her, he would not be able to marry Ruby again.Also—"What agreement for asset transference?"Based on Kevan's character and we

Because she had to help Kevan and Larissa take care of Aster, Violet came over frequently.Larissa's schedule was more flexible than Kevan's. Sometimes, she could come back early and run into Violet. Violet would always find ways to ask when Larissa was going to have her wedding. Truth be told, Larissa had not thought of having a wedding.She was getting married for the second time after all.When she married Travis last time, the wedding was not grand, but it was still big. Plus, there was a wedding dinner. She didn't really want a repeat of that.To her, a wedding was a waste of time, money, and energy. She did not have any dreams about having a grand wedding like young teenage girls. So, Larissa always told Violet in a roundabout way that she had no plans for a wedding.But she was probably too roundabout with it, because Violet did not seem to get it, and kept asking without stopping. So, Larissa could only discuss it with Kevan. "Can you tell your mom that we won't

There wasn't much time from mid-February to May.Kevan hired a highly reputable and well-regarded team in the wedding industry.It took him almost a week to communicate and discuss various ideas with them.Although the effect he desired was challenging, the other party assured him they'd do their best to deliver a satisfactory result.…On the other hand, Kevan asked a friend to help terminate Wendy's adoption of Aster.He also changed Aster's legal name to "Alastair Rogers", getting him registered under the Rogers family.Larissa didn't like Aster's new name.She felt that "Alastair" and "Rogers" didn't blend well and sounded awkward.Before officially registering the new name, she even had a disagreement with Kevan.They argued about whether to change Aster's surname to "Seymour" or keep it as "Rogers."In the end, they let Aster decide.Aster said without hesitation, "I want to have Daddy's surname!"This infuriated Larissa to the point where she wanted to sever their r
