"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

Larissa gave him a comforting hug and whispered, "I'll go with you to the cemetery on the day after the big family reunion dinner. We'll bring some pie and visit Roland."Kevan closed his eyes and returned the embrace. It took him a while, but he finally managed to choke out a heartfelt "Okay."They spent some time outside the restaurant, wrapped up in their own world. Meanwhile, Anthony and Violet, who had noticed them earlier, wisely chose not to interrupt. Instead, they exchanged knowing glances and shared a smile.Once Kevan had regained his composure, Larissa confidently led him into the restaurant."Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers," she greeted them politely.However, Kevan had already informed Violet about the true nature of their relationship. So, Violet playfully teased Larissa, "Still calling us 'Mr. and Mrs. Rogers,' huh?"Larissa blushed and quickly corrected herself, saying, "Sorry! Hello, Mom and Dad!""Yeah, sounds about right!" Violet responded cheerfully.An

Larissa had no intention of allowing Gary and Lewis to stay at her house, or rather, Kevan's house. The house she was currently sharing with Kevan was spacious enough to accommodate both Gary and Lewis.However, she was worried that the conflicts between Gary and Kevan might escalate if they were under the same roof.So, she took Lewis aside and whispered, "Are you seriously planning to stay with us? What if my dad and Kevan get into a fight?""You might be overthinking this," Lewis said, gently tapping her forehead with his fingers. He then reassured her, "Don't worry, Gary has come to terms with reality. He's not as hot-headed as he used to be.""Really?" She still had some doubts."I swear on my life!" he declared.After some contemplation, she finally agreed. "Okay, then. But just so you know, we'll be staying at Kevan's parents' place for the next couple of days."She felt torn when she thought about it.On one hand, her biological family had traveled a long way from
