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.
A few seconds later, he sensed light footsteps approaching, then heard Astrid’s voice: “Man, how can
you sleep this long and not wake up?”
Astrid was surprised. How could a big guy who was nearly 1.9 meters tall sleep so soundly on this
couch? Wouldn’t he get tired? It was no big deal for Roman to sleep there, but Elio? What if he had bad
intentions
towards her?
But Roman said Elle hadn’t had a good rest in a long time and told her not to disturb him.
Well, as long as she locked the door, it should be fine.
With a heavy sigh, Astrid adjusted the blanket that had slipped off Ello, then turned and went back to
her room, locking the door behind her.
The moment the door closed, Ello opened his eyes. He looked at the closed master bedroom door,
then got up and entered the guest room.
After lying in bed for more than an hour, Elio was starving. He was about to get up and find something
to eat when he heard the sound of the door opening. He was about to turn off the bedside lamp and
pretend to be asleep again, but the bedroom door was flung open.
Astrid, in her pajamas, with her eyes half–closed, walked straight towards him, lifted his blanket, and
then lay down next to him.
What was going on?
Elio lay there, not daring to move.

A few minutes later, Astrid suddenly rolled over, wrapped herself around him like an octopus, and even
snuggled a bit.
Elio froze, a wave of desire spreading throughout his body. Was this girl sleepwalking? What a pain in
the ass.
Astrid’s unique scent filled Ello’s nostrils. He turned to look at her face, so close to his own, and his
usually Ironclad self–control crumbled.
He moved slightly closer, his eyes shimmering with intensity, and then he kissed her lips.
