In the morning, Larissa, Kevan, and Aster completed a thorough cleaning of their home. They also put up the artwork sent over by Viclel a few days earlier. They packed their luggage. In the alternoon, they drove to the Rogers villa, For a week Voet had been insisting that the three of them spend the festival there and slay for a few days before leaving. Naturally, Larissa didn’t refuse. Although Kevan wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about it, he had to comply with Larissa’s decision. The Rogers’ villa was adomed with festive decorations. Baubles were hung under the eaves. An air of celebration permeated the surroundings. As soon as they got out of the car, Aster was bouncing with excitement, absolutely thrilled. “I hung this one!” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
He pointed at a bauble at the front gate and proudly informed Larissa. He then gestured to the art pieces on both sides of the door and said. “And I put these up” Larissa had heard from Violet that Aster was really into decorating. She wasn’t surprised at all. Aster had always loved holidays In the past, during Christmas, he would go with Wendy to the woods to cut down a Christmas tree and bring it home.

It’s just that at that time, our family situation was very complicated. “He couldn’t show favoritism to anyone, so…” Kevan explained, clarifying on behalf of his grandfather. Larissa immediately understood. The reason Roland seemed to “ignore” her was probably similar to Kevan’s-Roland wanted to protect
her. The knot that had been hidden in her heart for many years was finally untangled. She suddenly felt a lot lighter, But at the same time, she felt a little sad. “Do you miss him?” she asked Kewan. He nodded, not hiding his feelings from her. “Yes.” This was the first big family reunion dinner after Roland had passed away. Every year before he was hospitalized, he would overcome all obstacles to rush back to Bartham, They would have a reunion meal and eat ples together. It had been many years since he had seen Roland.
