Chapter 66

When Astrid heard the word “mom“. 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 “Are you okay. Roman”

“I’m fine” Roman wrapped his arms around Astrid’s neck, glanced at Julian provocatively, and pressed

his little face against Astrid’s, calling out softly, ‘Mom!”

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, “Astrid, I didn’t expect you to have a child after all these years.”

Astrid quickly explained, “No, you got it all wrong.”

“No, you don’t need to explain I know it’s common for celebrities to have kids in secret” A hint of

sadness flashed across Julian’s face, then he added, “I just wanted to tell you that I didn’t intentionally

stand you up all those years ago But none of that matters now. As long as you’re happy…”

Before he could finish. Elio came out of the car.

Julian looked at Roman, who had the same face as Ello, and said, “Let’s leave the past in the past,

Astrid. Be happy. I’ll keep this secret for you. Goodbye”

“But Astrid didn’t 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 wouldn’t be anyone else’s

mom.

Astrid didn’t notice Roman’s thoughts. She looked at Roman’s chubby smile, poked his little nose

gently, and asked, “Roman, why did you call me mom?”

Roman didn’t answer, he just hugged her tightly.

After a while, he finally said. “Because, I, want, you to be my mom.”

Roman looked at Astrid with hopeful eyes, afraid that she would reject him.

Seeing the little boy’s cautious look, Astrid’s heart ached. She knew that If she rejected Roman, he

would be heartbroken. But she couldn’t agree, could she? After all, If she agreed to be Roman’s mom,

wouldn’t that mean she had to marry Elio?

Elio was in a great mood after using his son to chase away his rival. “Ms. Irvine, was that one of your

friends just now?”

“Yes, he was my high school crush!” Astrid’s eyes lit up when she mentioned Julian. “He was really

popular at our school. Lots of girls had a crush on him.”

“You don’t have very good taste,” 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?

“I think my taste is excellent. Julian is exactly my type. He’s 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?“/Astrid kept praising Julian’s qualities, oblivious to the darkening expression on

Ello’s face.

Elio asked, So, did anything happen between you and your Ideal man, Ms. Irvine?”
