Chapter 242
"The Irvine family kicked her out the moment they found out she was pregnant, she had nowhere to turn to. Because of the pregnancy, she missed her chance to go to her dream college
"She was constantly threatened while pregnant and came close to losing her life a couple of times"
"The entire pregnancy was a struggle, and she always had severe morning sickness Later on, her kid got stolen, and she almost died. When I found her, she was lying in the rain, soaked in blood from the wais down"
"Even now, her section scat hurts when it rains, a pain she's gotta live with for the rest of her life
If you really wanted to find her, you'd have done it by now. And you have the nerve to ask me why she's ignoring you?"
"You're lucky you didn't get your ass beat. I'm telling you, you're screwed, Elio. If Astrid's brothers find out, you're toast! Eko fell silent
Gracies words struck a chord in Elio's heart, he never knew Astrid had gone through so much pain.
As Gracie said, he didn't really make an effort to find her back then.
He just had someone look into it, and when they couldn't find anything, he didn't push any further.
It wasn't until Roman showed up that he started seriously looking for her, but by then, over nine months had passed, and all traces of her were wiped
If he had persisted back then, maybe they'd be together by now, and things wouldn't have ended up like this.
People wanted to hurt her?
She almost lost her life?
And someone else knew about the night Astrid went into his room?
But who was it?
His mind was a whirlwind of confusion, which frustrated him.
He had to find out who was behind all this.
But right now, the most important thing he had to do was get his wife back.
She had suffered so much, and it was all his fault.
She seemed happy and carefree on the outside, but in reality, she carried so much pain.
How could he make it up to her?
If it were in the past, he could've used Roman, but now that Roman had a mom, he forgot all about his dad.
His situation just got a lot tougher.
The next day, he took off work and went grocery shopping himself so he could cook Astrid a nice meal to appease her.
But when he knocked on the door, there was no answer, and even Roman's phone was off.
Elio stood at the front door, frustrated and confused, while Roman and Astrid were already having a blast at the amusement park.
Now that Astrid had found her child, she was over the moon
She had a good night's sleep last night.
She and Roman had missed out on over three years of time together, so now, whenever she had the time, she wanted to spend it having fun with him.
The two of them went to buy matching outfits early in the morning and had just gotten off the roller coaster when Astrid's phone rang. She picked up the call, only to hear her father's loud accusation, "Astrid!!! How long were you planning on keeping this from me??"
"Before Astrid could finish, her brother's stern voice came through "Astrid, you're in the wrong this time. Why wouldn't you tell us about something this important?
Holding Roman's hand, Astrid sat down on a nearby chair, "I was waiting for the paternity test results to tell you guys.
But it was strange, who told her father and brother? She only told Gracie and Dale, she hadn't told anyone else yet. Date? He must've been the one to spill the beans to her brother.
