Chapter 66
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 66 When Astrid heard the word âmomâ. It was like a soft spot deep in her heart got poked. She looked at the little boy with short legs running toward her and felt choked up. What was up with the boy? Why would he call her mom?
Roman was in a rush, and he tripped over a dip in the ground. His tiny body wobbled and he almost fell Astrid lunged forward and caught him âAre you okay. Romanâ
âIâm fineâ Roman wrapped his arms around Astridâs neck, glanced at Julian provocatively, and pressed his little face against Astridâs, calling out softly, âMom!â
Astrid looked at Roman as if she was looking at her own child Shed always dreamed of having a child who would call her mom...
Julian was taken aback as he watched Astrid and Roman embracing. A pang of loss flashed in his eyes He adjusted his glasses and said softly, âAstrid, I didnât expect you to have a child after all these years.â Astrid quickly explained, âNo, you got it all wrong.â
âNo, you donât need to explain I know itâs common for celebrities to have kids in secretâ A hint of sadness flashed across Julianâs face, then he added, âI just wanted to tell you that I didnât intentionally stand you up all those years ago But none of that matters now. As long as youâre happy...â
Before he could finish. Elio came out of the car.
Julian looked at Roman, who had the same face as Ello, and said, âLetâs leave the past in the past, Astrid. Be happy. Iâll keep this secret for you.
Goodbyeâ
âBut Astrid didnât get a chance to finish before Jullan hopped in his car and drove away. She just shrugged helplessly.
When Julian left Roman breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that Astrid wouldnât be anyone elseâs mom.
Astrid didnât notice Romanâs thoughts. She looked at Romanâs chubby smile, poked his little nose gently, and asked, âRoman, why did you call me mom?â
Roman didnât answer, he just hugged her tightly.
After a while, he finally said. âBecause, I, want, you to be my mom.â
Roman looked at Astrid with hopeful eyes, afraid that she would reject him.

ï¤Chapter 4596 Seeing the little boyâs cautious look, Astridâs heart ached. She knew that If she rejected Roman, he would be heartbroken. But she couldnât agree, could she? After all, If she agreed to be Romanâs mom, wouldnât that mean she had to marry Elio?
Elio was in a great mood after using his son to chase away his rival. âMs. Irvine, was that one of your friends just now?â
âYes, he was my high school crush!â Astridâs eyes lit up when she mentioned Julian. âHe was really popular at our school. Lots of girls had a crush on him.â
âYou donât have very good taste,â Elio said.
There was an unpleasant smell in the air. She had never looked at him with such excitement, but now she was calling that man her Ideal man?
âI think my taste is excellent. Julian is exactly my type. Heâs clean, handsome, considerate, gentle, good at basketball, good at gaming, sings well, plays instruments, oh my god, where else can you find such a perfect man?â/Astrid kept praising Julianâs qualities, oblivious to the darkening expression on Elloâs face.
Elio asked, So, did anything happen between you and your Ideal man, Ms. Irvine?â
