Chapter 243
Robb Brooke shouted. "You think I don't know you? How could you agree to a paternity test if you're not sure he's your kid? Remember back in the day when you went through hell for this boy? If our people hadn't found you and rushed you to a top-notch hospital, you'd probably be six feet under in some country hospital
Astrid could feel Robb getting pissed, so she kept her mouth shut.
Her father said. "I didn't agree either, but I want to see my grandson. I knew there was a reason I liked him so much the first time I saw him. Turns out he really is my grandson!"
"Astrid, is my grandson with you? I want to video chat with him!" He hung up the phone in a hurry, and the next second, a video call came through.
She answered the video call and pointed the screen at Roman, "Your grandpa."
Roman was quite the charmer. As soon as the video connected, he sweetly called out, "Grandpa, Uncle!"
Robb was initially in a sour mood, but the kid's sweet "Uncle" instantly mellowed him out.
Her father continued, "Oh, my grandson, I miss you. When are you coming to fish with me again?" As soon as Mr. Brooke finished his sentence, Astrid saw a hint of fear in Roman's big eyes. Roman answered, "Grandpa, can I not go fishing?"
"Fishing is our family tradition. Everyone in our family has to fish with me! That's an order!"
"Okay, Grandpa...
Mr. Brooke was so thrilled to learn he had a grandson that he even kissed the screen after a few words.
Both Astrid and Roman made faces when they saw his big lips coming over.
Elio found Astrid and Roman's location and was about to go find them when his phone started buzzing like crazy.
He looked, and it was all selfies of Astrid and Roman.
They were even wearing matching outfits.
Just as he was about to send a message, Roman sent him a voice message.
Roman's message read, "Elio, I'm going to live with my mom from now on; I'm not coming home. Don't bother us; we're really happy now." Happy?
Elio replied, "Roman, do you think you're untouchable now? You'll come back one day, and we'll settle the score then."
"My mom will protect me; I'm not afraid of you.”
Elio had no response.
By the time Elio got to the amusement park, Astrid and Roman were long gone.
Once home, Astrid installed an anti-tracking app on both her and Roman's phones so Elio couldn't find them anymore.
The paternity test results came back, and as expected, Roman was indeed Astrid's son.
Amanda immediately posted the results in the family group chat, "See? The paternity test results are in. I hope no one dares to hurt Astrid behind her back from now on, or I'll make sure you pay." Those words were actually aimed at Farrah.
At the banquet, the first one to stir up trouble was Farrah.
Everyone went silent after seeing the report and the group chat was eerily quiet. A few seconds later, Elio, who rarely posted in the family group chat, sent a message.
"Everything that happened at my mother's birthday banquet stays secret. Anyone who leaks information will face the consequences."
