Chapter 49


    With this thought in mind, Elio turned to Astrid and Roman at the door and said, “Just wait for me a


    moment, I’ll have Carson bring the clothes up right away, and then we’ll go together”


    When Roman heard that they would go together, his eyes instantly lit up


    He lightly bit his lip and proudly turned his face, but the slight upturn of his mouth couldn’t hide his good


    mood.


    Astrid naturally noticed Roman’s thoughts and smiled, saying, “Then Roman and I will go have


    breakfast. What would you like to eat?”


    As Elio looked at Astrid, who was holding Roman, he suddenly had an illusion as if they really were a


    family.


    Seeing him staring at him nkly, Astrid called again in a low voice: “Mr. Lampard?”

    Astrid’s voice snapped Elio back to reality, and his heart raced. He looked down and whispered, “I’ve


    already eaten.”


    “Then let’s go first,” Astrid carried Roman out the door. Roman reached out and caressed Astrid’s face,


    his little legs dangling happily in the air.


    Half an hourter, Astrid and Roman were almost finished eating, but there was no sign of Elioing


    out. They were about to call and ask when they caught sight of a tall figure approaching the door.


    Astrid immediately recognized the person as Elio at a nce. She lowered her head and said to


    Roman, “What is your dad doing? Sunsses, mask, baseball cap… Is he a big star?”


    Roman frowned in dissatisfaction. “How silly.”


    “Yes, very silly.” Astrid and Roman smiled at each other, and this scene happened to be photographed


    by Elio, who was standing at the door.


    He looked at the photo on his phone and smiled tenderly.


    Today was Wednesday, and the amusement park wasn’t crowded.


    Although Astrid had be a trending topic once for her good looks, she didn’t have any film or TV


    works and was rtively unknown. Basically, no one recognized her. She held Roman’s hand and each


    of them walked and danced with a pink cotton candy.


    Elio followed behind them but didn’t interact with them, like an invisible person…


    Astrid and Roman had surprisingly simr interests and loved those high–altitude and thrilling projects.


    But no matter what project Astrid and Roman yed, Elio didn’t join in. He just stood there, frowning,


    motionless.


    After getting off the Ferris wheel, Astrid and Roman went to buy tickets for another thrilling project and


    looked back to see Elio still standing there motionless. Astrid couldn’t help but wonder if it was because


    she didn’t invite Elio that he felt embarrassed toe and y with them.


    Possibly, he was a proud person after all.


    “Miss, one more ticket!” Holding three tickets, Astrid ran up to Elio and extended an invitation, “Mr.


    Lampard, shall we y together?”


    Elio’s body suddenly tensed. “No! I won’t go! I won’t y!”


    Astrid was taken aback. “Are you scared? Roman isn’t scared!”


    Upon hearing this, Roman immediately straightened his chest and said, “I’m not scared at all!”


    “Are you kidding me? How could I afraid of something like this?” Elio said as he took a step back, only


    to have his hand caught by Roman,


    “Since you’re not scared, let’s go. Don’t keep others waiting too long.” Astrid said, and Elio reluctantly


    followed them onto the pirate ship with heavy steps.


    After fastening their seatbelts, Roman and Astrid whispered to each other in the corner, asionally


    bursting intoughter.


    But Elio still sat there stiffly.


    A few secondster, the machine started to move.


    Initially, there was less shaking, and Astrid began toin, “Wow, this is so boring, isn’t it? Is it only


    this high?”


    Roman nodded in agreement, showing no enthusiasm at all.


    Gradually, the swing angle of the machine becamerger andrger.


    People around them started screaming, and Astrid and Roman shouted excitedly, “So thrilling! Higher!


    Higher!”


    Roman: “Higher! Higher!”


    Just then, the machine reached its highest point!


    There was a sudden scream in the ears of Roman and Astrid: “AH!!!!”


    Startled by the deafening sound, they turned their heads to look aside. Elio felt their gaze and quickly


    closed his mouth!


    Astrid couldn’t help but burst intoughter. It turned out that Elio, who seemed fearless, was actually


    afraid of heights?


    Seeing Elio, who had always been extremely cold, screaming with his eyes closed, Astrid couldn’t help


    it anymore, andughed loudly: “Hahahahaha…”
