Chapter 282

Chapter 282 “Astrid, kick Elio out of your house right now, that guy is bad news!!” Before Yates could even finish his sentence, Astrid had already hung up the phone. The thought of Elio spending the night at Astrid’s house made Yates so restless he couldn’t sit still for even a second.

He grabbed his car keys and hurried out the door.

At that moment, Elio was facing Astrid’s dissatisfaction.

He had helped Roman take a bath and ended up soaking wet.

He looked like he’d just crawled out of a pool, a pitiful sight.

Astrid dried Roman’s hair, then carried him out to hear Elio sneezing continuously.

Elio: “Astrid, can I take a shower here? Ah–choo!”

“Of course, if it’s inconvenient, I can go home and take a shower.”

Astrid looked at Elio, all wet, then at the stormy weather outside, and sighed lightly, “Go ahead.”

Getting her permission, Elio gave a slight smile and quickly went into the bathroom.

In the room, Astrid held Roman and told him a bedtime story. The little guy was engrossed, not sleepy at all, even sharing his own thoughts. Astrid:

“Once upon a time in a small kingdom, the king and queen had no children. One day, while they were walking by the river, a little fish jumped out of the water and told them: You will soon have a daughter!”

Roman: “Mom, is the fish a monster? Why can it talk?”

“Um...” Astrid paused, “In fairy tales, many small animals have magic. They can talk.”

“Oh.” Roman nodded, then asked, “Mom, why did the fish say they will have a daughter and not a son? Do they prefer girls?”

Prefer girls?

Astrid’s speechless.

Where on earth did Roman get such weird ideas?

Elio came out from the bathroom and went straight to open the door.

Yates had been in such a hurry to leave the house that he didn’t have time to change his shoes, and was soaked by the rain.

He looked a bit disheveled.

He looked at Elio, wet and wearing a bathrobe, “Elio, don’t you understand the difference between men and women? Don’t you know to keep a distance?” Elio wiped his hair with a towel and narrowed his eyes, “Why should I keep a distance? We’re a family!”

“A family?” Yates chuckled, “You think just because you provided a sperm, you qualify as a father? Where were you when Astrid was bleeding heavily after giving birth? Where were you when she was set up and almost got into an accident? And where were you when she was depressed and couldn’t eat after giving birth? Let me tell you, I don’t care how powerful you are, I’m not scared of you. If you dare, kill me, otherwise, stop yelling here!”

After hearing Yates’s accusations, Elio felt a bit upset, but he didn’t defend himself.

Although it was due to Warren Santos“ misleading that Astrid ended up in his room and they spent the night together, the child was his, and all the hardships she had gone through were related to him.

“The surveillance records that day were maliciously deleted, and I couldn’t find her. I didn’t mean to let her endure all that pain. You’re her friend, I won’t do anything to you.” Elio said, then stepped back, “As long as I’m alive, I’ll do everything I can to give her the best life and ensure she won’t be hurt anymore.”
