Chapter 220
He turned to look at the kid, rubbing his eyes with a smile on his face. “Kid, you can’t just go around calling people ‘mom‘.”
“Sir, I didn’t just call her that. She is my mom, and I’m her cutest baby!” Despite being slightly scared of Hawthorne, the moment he saw Astrid, his confidence skyrocketed.
He ran over to Astrid and clung tightly to her leg.
After spending so much time together, Astrid naturally understood Roman. His actions now were nothing more than a sign of feeling threatened and wanting to chase Hawthorne away.
The kid was scared of losing her.
Astrid gently stroked Roman’s head, not exposing his lie.
A glint of approval flashed through Elio’s eyes when he saw his son’s actions.
Before Astrid and Elio could even respond, Roman spoke again, “Sir, I wasn’t lying. We’re a family. Haven’t you noticed all the household items come in threes?”
Hawthorne’s fists unconsciously clenched upon hearing this. He had noticed earlier.
The house had a special family set of three teacups and even a set of tea ware for guests. The balcony was decorated as a children’s play area. It was clear that they lived together regularly.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that Astrid, who sneered at her suitors, would actually live with the man in front of him.
He stared at Roman for a while, and Roman hid behind Astrid again.
