Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362

“I ain’t tired.” Astrid shut the door, scooping up the chubby Roman and plopping back down on the couch.

Holding Roman was like hugging a soft, squishy teddy bear.

“Mum, there are a bunch of girls in my class who like me,” Roman announced.

Astrid was speechless.

“Well, with a good–looking kid like you, Roman, it’s no surprise you’ve got a fan club. So, got any girls you fancy?” Astrid asked.

Roman’s eyes sparkled as he replied, “Yep! I like Mum!”

“I like you too,” Astrid confessed, touched by Roman’s affection. “So, do you like any of the girls in your

Roman pouted, “Nah! They’re all too childish! We aren’t three years old anymore, but they still throw tantrums like toddlers.”

Astrid chuckled, “That’s right, Roman. You’re not three years old anymore. After Christmas, you’ll be four! You’re quite the little man now!”

Roman nodded seriously, “I know, I’m growing up every day so I can protect Mum when I’m grown up. Elio’s too unreliable, so I need to be Mum’s knight in shining armor.”

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Who could it be at this hour?

Before she could get up, she heard Jon Brooke’s voice, “Star, Star, open up!!!”

She opened the door to find not just Jon but all four of her brothers standing there.

Astrid, a bit baffled, let them in and asked, “What’s up, guys?”

“Star, you’ve been set up,” Brandon Brooke blurted out. “We gotta help you sort this out. We can’t let anyone mess with our beloved little sister!”

Surprised, Astrid asked, “Have you guys already…?”
