Chapter 264
Tll do it “Elio stepped forward to take the small towel from Roman’s hand, saying gently, “Go get some rest.”
I can’t sleep. Mom’s not feeling well,” Roman looked at Elio worriedly, his voice barely above a whisper, “Don’t we need to take mom to the hospital?”
Elio reached out to touch Astrid’s forehead. She was starting to sweat, but it wasn’t very hot. It seemed like her fever was starting to break.
“She’s fine, her fever is going down. Go rest,” Elio said. But Roman didn’t go to rest, he just stared at Elio.
Elio “What are you doing?”
Roman: “Mom’s okay now, you can leave and rest in the other room.”
Elio felt a sudden urge to scold the little guy.
‘Just because your mom’s okay now, doesn’t mean she won’t get a fever again. So, I need to stay here tonight,” Elio stated confidently, not feeling the least bit shameful for arguing with a child.
“Stay here all night?” Roman shook his head, “No, men and women need to keep their distance, you can’t sleep with mom.”
Men and women need to keep their distance?
Elio’s face darkened, “You’re also male.”
“No, it’s not the same,” Roman waved his tiny hand, “You’re a man, I’m a boy.”
“Plus, I’m mom’s baby, you’re not.”
Elio was speechless,
The atmosphere between them got awkward. At that moment, Astrid, who was half–asleep, turned around and her hand brushed against Elio’s cold one. And she grabbed it.
And she even let out a comfortable exclamation, “Ah…”
Elio and Roman Were both speechless.
