Chapter 247
"Wow! This beauty totally outshines the leading lady. And Joana is supposed to be the campus queen in the show?*
"Such perfect body proportions! Damn! I'm green with envy!"
As Astrid and Roman were munching on chips and watching the premiere at home, Roman kept pouring out compliments. "Wow, Mom, you're so beautiful!"
"Whoa! Where did this beauty come from?"
"Gosh! Mom's smile is so sweet. Can you smell it? The air has turned sweet."
Astrid blushed so much that she couldn't speak.
Did this little guy have a silver tongue or what?
Did someone teach him to say these things?
After some thought, Astrid pulled the little one who had been bouncing around in front of her, "Roman, tell me how you learned to say all these things. Did Elio teach you?"
"No." Roman shook his head firmly, "It was Lucas who taught me!"
Astrid was speechless.
Roman tilted his head to look at Astrid and then softly called out, "Mom."
"Hmm?" Astrid kissed his cheek, "What's up?"
Roman stretched out his chubby little hands and hugged her, "Nothing; I just really wanted to call you mom. I never want to be apart from you again." "Okay." Astrid held him close, "Mom has to work, but I'll be with you whenever I'm free."
"Okay!" Roman curled up comfortably in Astrid's arms. After a while, Astrid realized that he had fallen asleep.
She turned off the TV with the remote.
Astrid gently picked up Roman and walked towards the bedroom.
It seemed like it was about to rain outside because the wind blowing in was somewhat chilly.
She walked to the window to close it, but there was a clatter from upstairs.
Accompanied by the noise was music, which was getting louder.
The loud noise seemed like it could shake the roof down at any moment.
Roman, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up. He rubbed his eyes and said quietly, "Mom, is there construction going on upstairs? It's so noisy."
"Go back to sleep. Mom will go up there and ask them to quiet down." Astrid lightly stroked Roman's head, then put on a coat and stepped out.
As she climbed the stairs, the closer she got to the room, the louder the noise became, and she could hear people cheering.
She rang the doorbell, but nobody answered.
After ringing it a few times, she lost her patience and kicked the door a few times.
The music inside the room died down slightly.
A few seconds later, the door opened. A waft of alcohol and smoke hit her face.
The blond man at the door saw a beautiful woman standing outside and broke into a smirk, "Hey, gorgeous, feeling lonely in the middle of the night? Want to come in and hang with us?" "Hahahaha!" Frivolous laughter echoed from behind the man.
Astrid took a step back and said coolly, "Could you please keep it down? Your noise is seriously disturbing me and my family's rest."
"Rest? Don't you want to come in and play?" The punk reached out to grab Astrid and tried to pull her in.
"Are you asking for trouble?" Astrid dodged his hand and kicked the man in front of her. He stumbled backward but was caught by his buddies.
