Chapter 112
When Carson pushed the door open and saw Ello’s expression, he got spooked and bailed out.
A month and a bit later, Astrid wrapped up all her scenes.
After finishing filming, she planned to go home and see her dad.
In the airport’s VIP lounge, Roman was pouting, his eyes brimming with tears, “Ms. Irvine, I’m gonna miss you.”
Seeing the kid holding back his tears, Astrid’s heart melted, “Roman, I’ll be back real quick, I promise, really quick.”
Roman pouted, “Will Ms. Irvine become another kid’s mom when she goes abroad?”
“No way” Astrid laughed, then glared at Elio sitting beside her, “Mr. Lampard, what on earth do you tell Román?”
Elio replied calmly. “You’ve got me all wrong; I’ve never said anything like that to him.”
“Star, it’s time to go.” Jon Brooke reminded her from the doorway. He had no love for Elio and felt disgruntled every time he thought of him trying to woo Star. Seeing that it was about time, Astrid kissed Roman’s cheek and said goodbye, “Roman, we’re gonna video chat every night; you gotta listen to your dad, okay?” Roman replied, “Okay.”
“I’m leaving now, Mr. Lampard. You gotta take care of Roman. Don’t bully him while I’m gone.”
Bully?
Roman already has her backing him up; he’s cocky enough, and it’s good enough not to bully him.
Elio nodded, “Safe travels.”
“Mm.”
As Astrid got up to leave, Jon quickly came over and said with a smile, “Oh right, Star, you should go see Hawthorne Cliff when you get back.”
“No.”
