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 resull,

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 fell 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 sumame 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 relationship on the spot!

The big family reunion dinner was undoubtedly the most significant festival for Caldorians.

When Larissa was in Aldovia, the place she lived will: Wendy didn’t have many Caldorlans.

So, she could hardly feel the festive atmosphere there.

There were even a few times when she completely forget about it and just treated that day like any other.

But this year was different.

Kevan’s parents were extremely traditional Caldorians

A week before the big family reunion dinner, Viclet look Aster to the supermarket every day.

They came back each time with the car trunk loaded with lood, dally necessities, toys–prelly much everything.

Schools in Caldor had already closed for the winter break.

Larissa and Kevan didn’t rush to find a new kindergarten for Aster.

They allowed him to stay with Violet and experience the strong festive atmosphere that was absent in Westonia.

So, one day, Larissa wasn’t surprised at all to hear Aster unconsciously humming the supermarket’s big family reunion dinner anthem.

As per the requirements, Larissa would email Lewis every day to update him on her work.

call to discuss ||

Sometimes. If the emails weren’t clear enough, she would hop on a video call

their work and catch up on recent happenings.

As the big family reunion dinner was approaching, her conversations increasingly revolved around Lewis and Gary’s plans for the festival

“Are you and my dad planning to stay in Westonia for the festival, or will you be In Barthan with us?”

In Aldavia, they didn’t have a concept of the “big family reunion dinner“,

As such, there wasn’t an extensive two–week–long holiday like in Califor

Lewis” response was uncertain. “It hasn’t been confirmed yet. Currently, we don’t have plans to go to Caldor.”

It was a practice he hadn’t changed for decades.

However, his way of celebrating wasn’t as elaborate as in Caldor

He would invite Lewis, his only family, to have a “reunion dinner” at home.

They would watch the reunion dinner TV celebration online together.

But this year, Larissa and Aster were in the picture.

So. Lewis didn’t know how Gary would plan things.

“If we decide to go to Bartham, I let you know right away.”

She tried persuading him, saying. “You should bring my dad along! It’s the big family reunion dinner! Families should stay together!”

“The company doesn’t have time off for that festival. We’re not as free as you think. We can’t just drop everything and go.” he retorted as he stared at her.

She defended herself, Tm not free at all either, okay? Haven’t you seen the emails I send you every day? My working hours might even be

longer than yours!

However, she would also be on holiday in a few more days.

Workers were heading back to their hometowns for the festival

So, she didn’t need to supervise them by going there every day.

“Alright, bright you’re not free. i talk to Gary and see we can manage to squeeze out a couple of days.” Lewis replied.
