Chapter 293
Although Astrid was a bit peeved with the guy in front of her, she still let him in.
She led Roman into the room, then said, “Roman, go play by yourself for a bit. Mommy needs to pack
some things.”
“Alright.” Roman obediently climbed onto the sofa and sat down. Shortly after, he saw Astrid dragging
two large suitcases into the bedroom.
Roman watched the direction of the bedroom for a while, then slowly walked over.
Astrid took some thick clothes out of the wardrobe, turned around to put them in the suitcase, and saw
Roman sitting cross–legged in the suitcase. She couldn’t help but laugh, “Roman, why did you hop into
the suitcase?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRoman: “Mommy, one suitcase is enough for your clothes, put me in the other one!”
“I’ll be a good boy, I promise I’ll wait for you at the hotel every day, I won’t let anyone find me!”
Seeing the little guy’s earnest expression, Astrid gently squatted down and patted his head, “Mommy is
going to be gone for a while, and I’ll be very busy, I won’t have time to look after you.”
“Roman can take care of himself.” Roman hugged Astrid’s arm and started to act coquettishly,
“Mommy, I’m so cute and well–behaved, taking me will cheer you up.”
Astrid laughed and pinched his face, “Be good and study-at–home, mommy will come back to see you
when I have time…”
Roman wanted to say something else, but Elio walked in, “Roman, you’re not a three–year–old
anymore; quit causing a fuss here.”
“I’m not causing a fuss! Humph!” Roman ran into Astrid’s arms after saying this, then hid in her
embrace and looked at Elio triumphantly. Elio, helpless, walked away in a huff.
It took a lot of persuasion from Astrid for Roman to agree to stay home and not go with her.
Early the next morning, Astrid carefully got out of bed only to find Elio had packed his stuff and was
waiting in the living room. He walked over, picked up her two suitcases, and said in a low voice, “Let’s
go, I’ve arranged for a bodyguard to look after Roman.”
Astrid: Gracie is picking me up.”
“Astrid, don’t push me away.” Elio suddenly grabbed her hand, “I’ve decided to be with you for the rest
of my life, you won’t be able to shake me off.” With that, Elio flung the door open.
Two bodyguards walked in, one helped Astrid with her luggage, the other stayed to take care of

Seeing that it was almost time, Astrid shook off Elio’s hand and called Gracie.
Gracie picked up and asked, “Astrid, where are you?”
Astrid: “Aren’t you picking me up?”
“Picking you up?” Gracie, standing in the departure hall, was a bit confused, “Mr. Lampard said he’d
drop you off, so I headed straight to the airport.” Astrid looked at Elio, who was acting as if he had
nothing to do with it.
Gracie asked, “Astrid, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Astrid hung up, stepped on Elio’s foot, and stormed off.
It was freezing cold, with the night wind blowing.
By the time Astrid arrived at the airport, it was almost time to board.
Elio watched Gracie and Astrid go through security, turned to leave, and then saw a familiar figure in
the distance.
