Chapter 58


    News on the inte spread like wildfire, and in no time, Lydia’s scandal with the producer made the


    headlines.


    Although it is not new for certain actresses to have deals with directors or producers in the


    entertainment industry, once these things are exposed, the influence will be veryrge. The crew saw


    the news and immediately started to solve the problem.


    Todd immediately contacted Lydia’s agent and removed her from the cast’s list of starring roles..


    Lydia’s reputation was greatly affected, she was forcibly dropped from the cast, her acting career took a


    severe blow, and when she woke up, she would face the snub of the


    agency..


    Meanwhile, Astrid was lying on a rocking chair on the balcony, enjoying a bucket of ice cream in her


    hand. She scooped arge spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, closed her eyes in enjoyment, when


    she heard the sound of a video call. She straightened up and saw that it was Roman calling.


    The corners of her mouth twitched into a smile, and she quickly picked up the video call.


    Roman’s usually gloomy face lit up instantly on seeing Astrid, and he called out softly, “Astrid~”


    Elio sitting on the couch next to him, looking at his son whose facial expressions were changing fast,


    had a look of disdain in his eyes.

    Romanpletely ignored Elio existence and started cooing at Astrid, “I miss you.”


    Seeing Roman’s cute appearence, Astrid wished she could reach through the screen and kiss him, “I


    miss you too, Roman. I’ve been busy with work these past few days, but I promise I’lle to see you


    as soon as I get some free time, okay?”


    “Mm–hmm,” Roman obediently nodded.


    Seeing him so well–behaved, Astrid found him even more adorable, “Stay at home and listen to Dad,


    okay? Don’t run around when you’re upset like before. It’s dangerous, you know?”


    Roman: “Okay.”


    Elio watched as Astrid and Roman video chatted, their conversation full ofughter and cheer.


    Astrid told Roman a joke, and heughed so hard he was rolling on the couch, his eyes squinting into


    slits fromughing so hard.


    Elio had never seen Roman this happy.


    Roman had always been a quiet child, always serious, with no friends. He thought it was just Roman’s


    nature. But now it seemed it was because he was too cold and strict with him that he didn’t dare to


    show his childish innocence in front of him.


    He was not a good father.


    Half an hourter, it was time for Roman to go to bed, and Astrid urged him to sleep, “Roman, it’s time


    for bed. Astrid has to get up early for work tomorrow~” “Then


    you should rest early too, I’m going to bed now~ Love you~” Roman kissed Astrid through the screen,


    then hung up, satisfied, and went upstairs.


    Elio suddenly thought of something and called Roman, “Roman,e here, I have a question for you.”


    Roman paused for a moment, then turned around to nce at Elio, before continuing to walk forward.


    Seeing the disobedient child, Elio narrowed his eyes, “Roman, didn’t you just promise Astrid to listen to


    me? Are you lying to her?”


    As soon as he finished speaking, Roman stopped in his tracks. He walked back expressionlessly, the


    corners of his mouth slightly downturned.


    Elio put down the financial magazine in his hand, turned his head to look at Roman, and asked softly,


    “I’m free this weekend, is there anything you want to do? I can go with you.”


    Hearing this, Roman nkly turned his head to look at Elio. This was the first time, the very first time,


    Elio had voluntarily offered to take him out to y.
