Chapter 282
‘Astrid, kick Elio out of your house right now, that guy is bad news!!” Before Yates could even finish his sentence, Astrid had already hung up the phone. The thought of Elio spending the night at Astrid’s house made Yates so restless he couldn’t sit still for even a second.
He grabbed his car keys and hurried out the door.
At that moment, Elio was facing Astrid’s dissatisfaction.
He had helped Roman take a bath and ended up soaking wet.
He looked like he’d just crawled out of a pool, a pitiful sight.
Astrid dried Roman’s hair, then carried him out to hear Elio sneezing continuously.
Elio: “Astrid, can I take a shower here? Ah–choo!”
“Of course, if it’s inconvenient, I can go home and take a shower.”
Astrid looked at Elio, all wet, then at the stormy weather outside, and sighed lightly, “Go ahead.”
Getting her permission, Elio gave a slight smile and quickly went into the bathroom.
In the room, Astrid held Roman and told him a bedtime story. The little guy was engrossed, not sleepy at all, even sharing his own thoughts. Astrid: “Once upon a time in a small kingdom, the king and queen had no children. One day, while they were walking by the river, a little fish jumped out of the water and told them: You will soon have a daughter!”
Roman: “Mom, is the fish a monster? Why can it talk?”
