Chapter 436
When Astrid arrived at Lampard Manor, it was already pretty late, but the manor was all lit up.
As soon as Amanda saw Astrid, she rushed over with a guilty expression, "Astrid, I had no idea how
Roman suddenly got a fever. I guess I didn't take good care of him."
"Don't blame yourself, kiddos can easily catch a cold and get a fever in winter. Let me take a look at
him." Astrid hurried in, noticing the little guy's flushed cheeks and sweaty forehead.
"Mama...mama..."
Roman Lampard, delirious with fever, kept calling for his mama.
Those repeated calls for mama really tugged at Astrid's heartstrings, "Roman, sweetie, mama's here."
"Are you really mama?" Roman opened his little eyes, glanced at Astrid, then cupped her face with his
chubby hands, "Mama, I missed you."
Astrid said, "Mama missed you too, Roman. Now rest, mama's here with you."
Roman continued, "Okay mama, can you sleep with me tonight?"
Astrid replied, "Of course."
Upon hearing this, Roman smiled sweetly. He was such a darling!
Roman began to sweat, which was a sign his fever was breaking. Astrid fetched a towel and water,
gently wiping his face and hands.
When Elio got home, he saw Astrid sitting next to Roman, chatting with him.
Sensing someone at the door, Roman opened his eyes, glanced at the entrance, then whispered, "Elio,
mama hasn't had dinner yet. Get cooking, will you?"
Astrid was taken aback, "How do you know mama hasn't eaten?"
"Mama, your tummy's been growling for a while now." Roman's voice was soft, "let Elio show off a bit,
he learned how to make pasta."
Astrid, seeing the earnest look on the little guy's face, nodded, "Alright."
Upon hearing this, Elio immediately took off his coat and headed for the kitchen.
Amanda followed right after, when she saw Elio donning an apron and getting ready to cook, her eyes
sparkled, "Well, isn't this a rare sight? You, in the kitchen?"
Matthew said, "Just don't burn down my kitchen. Let the maid do the cooking."
Elio replied, "No need, I want to cook for Astrid myself."
Hearing this, the two didn't object him anymore.
They figured it was high time Elio showed off a bit, or when would they get to hold their little
granddaughter?
Elio skillfully prepared the ingredients, then remembering the incident at the TV station earlier, he
turned to Amanda who was watching from the doorway, "Mom, Mandy caused a scene at the TV
station again today. If you don't want Astrid to get the wrong idea, get her out of here."
"Huh?" Amanda was startled, "I've made it clear to her! You have a girlfriend, and that you never had
eyes for her daughter!"
"I didn't tell Mandy that Roman is Astrid's biological son for the sake of Astrid's career, but I've told her
everything else she needs to know, including that you two are living together!"
Elio said, "This problem started with you. You need to fix it." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Alright, no problem." Amanda turned around and quickly went upstairs.
Upon reaching the door, she saw that Roman was already holding Astrid's hand, fast asleep. The little
guy had rosy cheeks and a small smile on his lips, he seemed to be in a good mood.
