Love in the Limelight Novel novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

When Astrid heard the word “mom“. It was like a soft spot deep in her heart got poked. She looked at the little boy with short legs running toward her and felt choked up. What was up with the boy? Why would he call her mom?

Roman was in a rush, and he tripped over a dip in the ground. His tiny body wobbled and he almost fell

Astrid lunged forward and caught him “Are you okay. Roman”

“I’m fine” Roman wrapped his arms around Astrid’s neck, glanced at Julian provocatively, and pressed his little face against Astrid’s, calling out softly, ‘Mom!”

Astrid looked at Roman as if she was looking at her own child Shed always dreamed of having a child who would call her mom…

Julian was taken aback as he watched Astrid and Roman embracing. A pang of loss flashed in his eyes He adjusted his glasses and said softly, “Astrid, I didn’t expect you to have a child after all these years.” Astrid quickly explained, “No, you got it all wrong.”

“No, you don’t need to explain I know it’s common for celebrities to have kids in secret” A hint of sadness flashed across Julian’s face, then he added, “I just wanted to tell you that I didn’t intentionally stand you up all those years ago But none of that matters now. As long as you’re happy…”

Before he could finish. Elio came out of the car.

Julian looked at Roman, who had the same face as Ello, and said, “Let’s leave the past in the past, Astrid. Be happy. I’ll keep this secret for you. Goodbye”

“But Astrid didn’t get a chance to finish before Jullan hopped in his car and drove away. She just shrugged helplessly.

“Yes, he was my high school crush!” Astrid’s eyes lit up when she mentioned Julian. “He was really popular at our school. Lots of girls had a crush on him.”

“You don’t have very good taste,” Elio said.

There was an unpleasant smell in the air. She had never looked at him with such excitement, but now she was calling that man her Ideal man?

“I think my taste is excellent. Julian is exactly my type. He’s clean, handsome, considerate, gentle, good at basketball, good at gaming, sings well, plays instruments, oh my god, where else can you find such a perfect man?“/Astrid kept praising Julian’s qualities, oblivious to the darkening expression on Ello’s face.

Elio asked, So, did anything happen between you and your Ideal man, Ms. Irvine?”
