Chapter 220


    He turned to look at the kid, rubbing his eyes with a smile on his face. “Kid, you can’t just go around


    calling people ‘mom‘.”


    “Sir, I didn’t just call her that. She is my mom, and I’m her cutest baby!” Despite being slightly scared of


    Hawthorne, the moment he saw Astrid, his confidence skyrocketed.


    He ran over to Astrid and clung tightly to her leg.


    After spending so much time together, Astrid naturally understood Roman. His actions now were

    nothing more than a sign of feeling threatened and wanting to chase Hawthorne away.


    The kid was scared of losing her.


    Astrid gently stroked Roman’s head, not exposing his lie.


    A glint of approval shed through Elio’s eyes when he saw his son’s actions.


    Before Astrid and Elio could even respond, Roman spoke again, “Sir, I wasn’t lying. We’re a family.


    Haven’t you noticed all the household itemse in threes?”


    Hawthorne’s fists unconsciously clenched upon hearing this. He had noticed earlier.


    The house had a special family set of three teacups and even a set of tea ware for guests. The balcony


    was decorated as a children’s y area. It was clear that they lived together regrly.


    If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that Astrid, who sneered at her


    suitors, would actually live with the man in front of him.


    He stared at Roman for a while, and Roman hid behind Astrid again.


    After a few seconds, Hawthorneughed, “Kid, you can’t just call her ‘mom. It’s easy to misunderstand


    and can affect her chances of making friends.


    “Friends?” Roman tilted his head, “You mean boyfriend?”


    Hawthorne replied. “Yes.”


    “Oh…” Roman nodded, “Then you don’t need to worry. Elio is her boyfriend. And if you think Elio is not


    good enough, I can be!”


    After saying this, Roman even patted his own chest..


    Elio narrowed his eyes.


    Astrid, hearing Roman’s words, couldn’t help butugh. She picked up Roman, gave him a few


    affectionate kisses, and then said to Hawthorne, “If you don’t want to stay in Elio’s house, I can arrange


    for someone to take care of you.”


    Hawthorne was somewhat excited to hear this, “But I came here to see you. If you put me in a separate


    house; what’s the point of meing?”


    Astrid frowned slightly when she saw his agitation.


    “Hawthorne, I have my own life. You pestering me is pointless and will only make our rtionship


    worse. Your father only has you as a child; can’t you consider him?” Astrid’s expression started to show


    impatience.


    “I…cough…cough…” Hawthorne began to cough violently.


    He couldn’t stop coughing and looked like he might copse at any moment due to his difficulty


    breathing.


    Astrid immediately went over to check on him when she saw something was wrong, but Hawthorne


    simply covered his chest and said, “Never. mind… Never mind, since you’ve found your home; I won’t


    cause any trouble here. I’ll leave on my own. Wish you happiness.”
