Chapter 5 Don’t fret, Lucinda, you’re my baby girl I aint gorins let you be bothered like this” A evil glint flashed in Sandyes as she quickly whisked Lucinda wway from the community By that point the bodyguards in the comidor had all cleared out. The arrival of her tegmother and sister brought back memories of Astrid’s past Over four year ago, right after her art exam results were released, she topped the chets with a score way bey sign with them She was thrilled and went out for drinks with a few pale to celebrate the had quite to drinks that day but cause it was pouring heavily and it was hard to hall a cah she crashed at Fannie place which was nasty The guy was snoozing right need to her the runner up Severom and levision companies had thrown contracts at her hoping she could he could hold herlig and the didn’t black or do anything crazy when she woke up, she found here in a hot bet, her body bearing the marks of sex The room was pitch black, and the was soared at the hightailed it out of there immediately not even daring to get a glimpse of the guy’s face “Mam” A soft voice putet Ad back from he thoughts She turned around to enter the room reing the little boy staring wide eyed at her, “What just happened outside?

“No biggie Astrid pinched Roman’s cheek gently “Let’s keep watching TV Roman obedienty followed Astrid into the room, “Ma’am, that person wants to give you three hundred bucks?

Roman had caught the full conversation, but he heard bits and pieces about three hundred bucks “Um. “Astrid contemplated “The wanted to pay me to work for her”

Hearing this, Roman’s eyes lit up Pay? Work? That sounded like a solid plan Before long the person to pick up Roman had arrived Astrid looked at the man standing outside the door and gave a small smile, “Are you here to pick up the kid?”

“Yeah” The man nodded solemnly with a cold gaze that could freeze anyone in their tracks He looked down at Roman, and Roman suddenly looked up at Elia and said, “Pay up.”

Pay up?

frowned at Astrid, to which Astrid immediately waved off, “I am not asking you for any money.”

With that Astrid patted Roman’s head, “Sweetie, your daddy’s here to pick you up. Don’t run off next time, okay?”

Roman rubbed his head against her hand.

His adorable demeanor surprised the bodyguards trailing behind Elio.

Were they seeing things?

The little master actually had a cute side?

Ele looked down at Roman, saying coldly, “Let’s go.”

Roman responded, “You pay this lady She helps you, works for you. You get a wife, and I get a mom!”

Although Roman’s words were a bit choppy, Elio instantly grasped his intention. Roman planned to pay Astrid himself to act as his mom, and Elio’s wife.

What in the world was this kid thinking?

Astrid didn’t expect Roman to have such an idea and felt both amused and helpless, “Honey, you can’t buy a mother or a wife with money. Just go home with your dad”

Seeing that Roman was still reluctant to leave, Elio gave a warning grunt, “Hm?”

Facing Elios sternness, Roman had no choice but to give in. With a pitiful face, he let go of Astrid’s hand and walked towards Ello, glancing back every few steps.
