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 flashed 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 items come 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 play area. It was clear that they lived together regularly.

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, Hawthorne laughed, “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 but laugh. 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 me coming?”

Astrid frowned slightly when she saw his agitation.

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

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 collapse 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.”
