Chapter 86

Elio’s deep affection stirred something in Astrid. She looked up at him and gave him a gentle smile. “I

can handle my business.” She said.

Elio fell silent.

Her response caught him off guard.

Shouldn’t she be moved at a moment like this?

Was it because he didn’t express himself clearly enough that she didn’t understand his feelings?

Roman, standing nearby, saw his father’s stunned expression and slowly raised his hand. “ll handle it

for you!”

Astrid was deeply touched by Roman’s cuteness and gave a light laugh. “If you’re going to help me,

you’ll have to grow up quickly. You need to be taller than me~”

“Okay” Roman replied with a sweet smile. He was always thrilled to see Astrid.

Due to the heavy rain, they couldn’t go anywhere else, so Astrid picked up her phone and played a

small game with Roman. Elio was left out and was feeling down.

Carson gave the café staff a sum of money and made them sign a non-disclosure agreement. They

weren’t allowed to talk about what happened that day.

After all, his boss hadn’t successfully pursued Astrid yet. If this got out, it could harm Astrid’s career

and become a big deal.

Two hours later, the rain stopped. Astrid was playing a game when she received a call from Gracie.

She had barely answered when she heard Gracie yelling. “Astrid, where are you? The director wants

you on the set. Joana has appointments tomorrow and the day after, so you need to finish your scenes

with her today. We’ve got quite a few night scenes. Looks like it’s going to be another night without

sleep!”

“I got it. I’m on my way back.” After hanging up, Astrid looked down to see Roman sitting there, looking

unhappy.

Astrid squatted down and gently patted his head. “I have to go to work. You should go home first. I’ll

pick you up in my Pikachu car the day after tomorrow, okay?”

Upon hearing this, Roman slowly looked up. “Really?”

“I always keep my promises. I didn’t break my word about going to the amusement park last time.”

Astrid pinched Roman’s cheeks gently. The little guy finally cracked a smile and nodded.

As Astrid was about to leave, Roman suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

She looked down to see Roman staring at her seriously. “Don’t go to work. I’ll take care of you!”

Carson, standing at the door, almost fell over. Little master, that’s something your father should say.

Sure enough, Elio looked quite unhappy at that moment.

But Roman didn’t notice. He pulled out a bank card from his small bag. “I’ve got money. I can take care

of you!”

Astrid couldn’t resist Roman’s charm. She squatted down and gave him a big kiss. “Roman, I don’t

need anyone to take care of me. I have enough money. I work to fulfill my

dreams.”

Roman tilted his head. “What’s a dream?”

Astrid answered, “A dream is a goal you want to strive for. You’ll understand when you grow up.” She

then put Roman’s bank card back in his bag.

As she was zipping up the bag, Roman said quietly, “I have a dream. I want you to be my mom.”

Astrid paused, unsure of how to respond. She just walked over and gently kissed his cheek.
