Chapter 78
“I asked you to check out how those two met; did you find anything?” Ello didn’t really care much about
Dale initially, but now that the guy actually moved next door to Astrid, he decided he needed to know
more
about him.
“I did, but couldn’t find anything indicating that they’d met before.” Carson felt somewhat embarrassed
mentioning this. Being a top–notch hacker himself, he always felt incompetent when he had to
investigate
Astrid’s information
Elio looked away. “Never mind, I’ll do it myself.”
In front of Astrid. Carson’s skills were pretty much worthless.
Roman sat aside, listening to their conversation, utterly uninterested
With Astrid gone, he was back to his apathetic self.
Once he got home, he headed straight upstairs without uttering a word. Elio had a lot on his plate and
didn’t bother him.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of his study. Turning around, Ello saw Roman
standing there with a small backpack, a suitcase, and a hat on. He looked like he was ready to run
away from home.
“What are you doing. Roman?” He asked sternly.
“I’m going to live with Ms. Irvine.” Roman was about to leave with his suitcase, and Ello frowned,
shouting, ‘Roman, stop right there!”
Elio’s voice was so loud that all the housekeepers heard him getting angry.
Recognizing Elio’s wrath, Roman stopped, somewhat scared.
In the past, Elio would have scolded Roman.
But seeing the pitiful look on Roman’s face, Ello held back.
He put down the files in his hand, stood up, walked over to Roman, and squatted down to his level.
“Roman, your living with Ms. Irvine will only bring her trouble.”
“What kind of trouble?‘ Roman tilted his head, looking confused.
Elio was silent for a moment, then said quietly, “Because a single woman living with a child can be
misunderstood. Ms Irvine Is an actress; people will attack her with words. “I can protect her.” Roman
said seriously.
Elio raised an eyebrow, “You can’t even protect yourself; who can you protect?!
Roman thought for a moment, ‘I’ll grow up.“.
Elio was speechless.
Roman glanced at Wylie not far away, suddenly remembering that Wylle once told him to sleep well so
he could grow up quickly
He turned to look at Ello, patting his arm, and said in a mature tone, I’m off to grow up. Goodnight…
Off to grow up?
It wasn’t until Roman went back to his room that Elio realized he was going to bed.)
Why did he feel that ever since Roman met Astrid, even his thought process had become erratic?
He was becoming a real headache for Elio.
In the hotel, Astrid was getting ready for bed when she received a voice message from Roman, ‘Ms.
Irvine, good night, kis
Astrid smiled sweetly, “Kiss-”
As usual, she put down her phone, locked the hotel room door, and piled up a bunch of empty wine
bottles at the entrance.
She did this not because she was afraid of someone breaking in but because she was afraid she might
wander out in her sleep.
With these wine bottles, she felt more at ease, knowing that if she kicked the bottles, the noise would
wake her up.
Once everything was set, Astrid laid down on the bed. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Just as she closed her eyes, her phone rang. She picked it up, and her fingers trembled slightly at the
sight of the number.
“Astrid, I’m back.”
She felt a chill run down her spine as if the devil’s face appeared in front of her. Astrid clicked on the
message and blacklisted the number.
