Kevan left the house with Larissa and Aster. It was the day of Roland's funeral procession to the cemetery. Although he had missed the burial ceremony, he still wanted to pay his last respects. Larissa was worried about his health and initially wanted him to rest a little longer before leaving. However, after he explained his reasons to her, Larissa didn't insist further. The three of them parted ways downstairs. Larissa and Aster got into the car. Meanwhile, Kevan walked home alone. He had only walked a few steps when Larissa, who was still concerned, called after him and reminded him, "If you're still feeling unwell, call me right away."Turning around, Kevan gave her a nod and a reassuring smile. "Alright." As the car drove by, Aster lowered the car window and shouted in Kevan's direction, "Uncle Kevan! Don't forget to come and play with me tonight!" Kneeling in the backseat of the car, he waved excitedly at Kevan. Stopping in his tracks, Kevan raised his hand and

After Bernard set the stage, accusations from the other members of the Rogers family came pouring in. While Roland was alive, his obvious favoritism to Kevan offended many people. At this moment, they wouldn't let go of the chance to humiliate Kevan. Anthony had apologized on Kevan's behalf and tried to smooth things over, but his efforts were completely ignored. Bernard pointed his finger at Kevan and demanded, "You didn't keep vigil for Old Mr. Rogers and even came late to the burial ceremony! A disobedient and disrespectful grandson like you has no share in your grandfather's inheritance!" Kevan had been suppressing his anger for some time as he didn't want to cause a scene during the funeral, lest they disturbed his grandparents' rest. When he heard his uncle's demands, Kevan snorted coldly. "If my tardiness meant that I'm disrespectful, the incident that your family caused at the funeral service would be a bigger sin than mine. Now that you seem to be stirring up ano

Gary had sent people to investigate Yvette. After all, she was once the most popular female actress in the country and many details of her life were public knowledge. It didn't take much effort to gather information about her. Her marriage to Xavier was heavily publicized, which was in stark contrast to their secretive past together. In front of the cameras, they weren't shy about displaying affection for each other publicly. At that time, they were considered a golden couple, admired by everyone. Less than a year into their marriage, Yvette gave birth to their daughter, Lana. It was said that Yvette faced some complications after delivering Lana and nearly lost her life. Out of concern for his wife, Xavier resisted pressure from the elders in his family to bear a son. In the end, they never tried for a second child. This was just a romanticized facade to mislead the public. In fact, Xavier himself desired to have a son, just as much as the elders in his family. Aft

Since Kevan came late, it was not long before Aster's bedtime came around. Normally, Aster would obediently go to bed on his own, without anyone reminding him. However, today he was being stubborn and refused to leave the living room. He clung to Kevan's arm like gum, staring at him pleadingly with his wide eyes. "Uncle Kevan, can't you spend the night with me?" Aster begged sweetly, his eyes filled with anticipation. Kevan didn't dare to give him a hasty answer. He turned to Larissa and waited for her response. Naturally, Larissa rejected him immediately. "Uncle Kevan is too busy tonight." The hope in Aster's eyes faded, and Kevan himself felt a little disappointed. Larissa detached Aster from Kevan's body and pushed him in the direction of his bedroom. "Wash up and go to bed now." Dragging his feet, Aster tried to gesture to Kevan as he walked away reluctantly. Although Kevan didn't want to part with Aster, he was more afraid of Larissa. He could only shrug and ga

After her alarm clock rang, Larissa went to the next room to wake Aster up as usual. When she walked out of her bedroom, she was surprised to see both Aster and Kevan fully dressed, sitting side by side in the dining room. "Mommy, come and have breakfast! Uncle Kevan made it! It's really delicious!" Aster waved at her excitedly. Larissa walked over doubtfully. Kevan had made a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, and pasta. Larissa had bought the pasta a long time ago and placed it in one of the cabinets, completely forgetting about its existence. Kevan had cooked the pasta and mixed it up with some black pepper sauce. As the enticing aroma of food filled the air, Larissa couldn't help swallowing her saliva eagerly. She sat down across from Aster and picked up the cutlery on the table."Thank you for your hard work. You're unwell, and yet you went through the trouble of cooking breakfast for us," she said with an apologetic look at Kevan. "Just consider it paym
