Chapter 48
Astrid rolled her eyes helplessly, “Mr. Lampard, you’re so self–righteous. Why do you think I will marry
you?” Elio: “Because of your excellence, only I am worthy of it.” Astrid paused slightly. Was Elio
praising her for being excellent?
“I’m really good, but you’re not the only one worthy of me-” Astrid said triumphantly, and seeing that
Elio had unbuttoned all his shirts, she turned away from him. As she was turning around, a strong hand
grabbed her shoulder, forcibly turning her back around.
He lowered his head towards her, approached her, his eyes flashing with a dangerous aura, “It is not
just me? Who else?”
“I” Faced with the intimidating Elio, Astrid tried to push him away, her hand landing on his burning
chest.
She hurriedly dropped her hand and kicked at Elio’s foot, “I’m not telling you!”
Astrid was barefoot, so her kick didn’t hurt Elio at all.
Not only did Elio not let her go, one hand even wrapped around her waist, “You’re not telling me, or
there’s no one else, huh?”
“There is, of course there is! He’s gentler than you, more considerate than you, he is…” Astrid spoke
with her head down, not daring to look at Elio.
Elio looked down at her as she kept mumbling about that man, no longer able to contain his anger.
Seeing her lips moving, he only had one thought–to shut her up!
His eyes darkened, and he bent down to kiss her.
But before he could touch Astrid, he felt something hit his head, and then saw a pillow fall to the
ground.
He turned his head unhappily, only to see Roman picking up another pillow from the couch, shouting at
him angrily, “Elio! LET HER GO!”
Seeing Elio’s lack of response, Roman threw the pillow in his hands with all his might!
But he wasn’t strong enough, the pillow didn’t hit Elio but fell to the ground.
Roman pouted unhappily, ran over and kicked Elio’s leg, “Let go!”
Elio squinted his eyes, a hint of annoyance on his face.
Did this kid have to make trouble at this time?
Astrid took the opportunity to push him away, ran over and hugged Roman, like she was clutching at
straws, “Roman, wait for me to change and wash up, I’ll take you to the amusement park today!”
“Okay!” Hearing the words ‘amusement park‘, Roman grinned, his eyes full of joy.
Elio glanced at the woman who was rushing away, then looked down at the joyfully jumping Roman,
feeling a bit annoyed, he said coldly, “Roman, you look like you’ve never seen the world. Don’t we have
an amusement park at home?”
Roman looked up, his smile gone, “I don’t like an amusement park with no one else.”
His lonely eyes stung Elio’s heart.
For the past three years, he and Roman hadn’t spent much time together. When Roman first started
talking, he said he wanted to go to an amusement park, so Elio built one for him. But Roman had never
been to that amusement park.
He thought that if he gave Roman the best of everything, Roman would be happy. But now he realized,
what Roman needed was company.
After a while, Astrid came out in a fresh set of clothes. She bent down to pick up Roman, then turned
her head to ask, “Mr. Lampard, are you coming with us to the amusement park?”
Before Elio could speak, Roman shook his head, “He won’t.”
He had always wanted Elio to take him to the amusement park, but Elio always refused. Not to mention
going out to play, he didn’t even play with him in the amusement park at home. Seeing Roman’s
aggrieved face, Elio suddenly felt anxious. Seeing that he didn’t speak, Astrid hugged Roman and
walked towards the door, comforting him as they walked, “Don’t be sad, Roman. I’ll be with you. Oh,
and I can find a man to go with us, he has a super cute car!” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
A cute car?
Roman’s face immediately lit up, he loved cute things!
Elio behind them lost his composure when he heard that there would be a man going with them.
Although he hated going to places like amusement parks, he couldn’t bear the thought of a strange
man taking the woman and son he loved to an amusement park.
