Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30

She didn’t want to get too involved with this guy, or else the media would paint her as some tycoon’s mistress, which was a total headache. If it wasn’t for her deep affection for the adorable little Roman, she would have cut ties with this guy ages ago.

Just then, Roman suddenly patted his chest, saying, “Come to me”

*Alright, I’m coming to you! To Roman!” Astrid Immediately planted a kiss on Roman’s face, then rubbed his chubby little cheeks, “Roman is gonna grow up to be a warm–hearted boy, whoever becomes his girlfriend will be so lucky. What do you want to eat when it’s time for dinner, Roman?‘

Hearing Astrid’s words, Roman’s eyes lit up, “Anything you make is good.”

“You’re so sweet, auntle loves you more and more, let’s go cook some food!” Astrid sald, taking Roman’s little hand and leading him away.

As they reached the kitchen entrance, Roman suddenly turned back and flashed a smug smile towards his ignored father. Ello’s already gloomy face turned even darker.

After dinner, Astrid and Roman watched a cartoon together, laughing their heads off, while Ello sat nearby, watching Roman lying on Astrid’s lap. Before meeting Astrid, he had never considered marriage. But now, watching her playing with Roman, he suddenly yearned for a family of his own.

Taking out his cell phone, Elio snapped a photo of Astrid and Roman playing on the couch. Looking at the photo on his phone, a small smile spread across his face. He then set the photo as his phone’s wallpaper. As he was about to lock the screen, a message popped up: “Chief, Ms Santos is waiting for you at the office, says It’s urgent.”

Without a second thought, Ello knew that Fannie was looking for him because the project was put on hold. Ello replied, “Tell her I’m busy with my wife and kid, no time.” Carson:

Putting down his phone, Elio looked up at the scene before him: Roman and Astrid. Without realizing it, he had fallen asleep on the couch.

Seeing Elio sleeping, Astrid got up, fetched a blanket, and gently covered him with it, then turned off the TV and led Roman to the bedroom to play.

By the time Elio woke up. It was already dark. He had been working a lot recently, under a lot of pressure, and had been sleeping poorly, even needing medication to sleep. But in Astrid’s home, he had managed to fall asleep just like that?

It was already 10 PM, and he had slept since lunch. These two didn’t even wake him for dinner…

Feeling the bedroom door open behind him, Elio quickly closed his eyes and feigned sleep. If Astrid found out he was awake at that time, she’d definitely–kick him out.
