Chapter 264
Tll do it “Elio stepped forward to take the small towel from Roman’s hand, saying gently, “Go get some rest.”
I can’t sleep. Mom’s not feeling well,” Roman looked at Elio worriedly, his voice barely above a whisper, “Don’t we need to take mom to the hospital?”
Elio reached out to touch Astrid’s forehead. She was starting to sweat, but it wasn’t very hot. It seemed like her fever was starting to break.
“She’s fine, her fever is going down. Go rest,” Elio said. But Roman didn’t go to rest, he just stared at Elio.
Elio “What are you doing?”
Roman: “Mom’s okay now, you can leave and rest in the other room.”
Elio felt a sudden urge to scold the little guy.
‘Just because your mom’s okay now, doesn’t mean she won’t get a fever again. So, I need to stay here tonight,” Elio stated confidently, not feeling the least bit shameful for arguing with a child.
“Stay here all night?” Roman shook his head, “No, men and women need to keep their distance, you can’t sleep with mom.”
Men and women need to keep their distance?
Elio’s face darkened, “You’re also male.”
“No, it’s not the same,” Roman waved his tiny hand, “You’re a man, I’m a boy.”
“Plus, I’m mom’s baby, you’re not.”
Elio was speechless,
The atmosphere between them got awkward. At that moment, Astrid, who was half–asleep, turned around and her hand brushed against Elio’s cold one. And she grabbed it.
And she even let out a comfortable exclamation, “Ah…”
Elio and Roman Were both speechless.
People who take cold medicine always sleep deeply, and, Astrid, who was still a bit feverish, was even more groggy.
Because she held his hand, Elio got his wish to lie next to Astrid.
Since he had just come in from outside, his body was a bit cool, and Astrid found it comfortable to lean against him. She turned around and hugged him tightly.
Her thigh draped over his body.
And she even moved a bit.
Elio’s nervous body felt extremely uncomfortable.
He turned his head and saw Roman still staring at him.
His eyes seemed to say, “Elio, if you dare to touch my mom, you’re done for!”
Elio had no intention of doing anything, especially since Astrid was still sick.
He gave Roman a disgusted look and closed his eyes.
After so many days, he finally got to spend the night with Astrid again on the same bed.
How wonderful.
The next day, Sunhaven was hit with a drastic drop in temperature.
It was freezing. Astrid yawned, turned over and saw Elio lying on his side next to her, “Oh my God, Elio, you shameless guy, how did you end up in my bed again!”
Elio: “I didn’t get into your bed, you held onto me and wouldn’t let go. Roman can testify to that.”
“Me?” Astrid turned to look at Roman, “Roman, tell the truth and don’t let him intimidate you!”
Roman: “Mom, I saw you tightly holding his hand, not letting him leave.”
Astrid scratched her head awkwardly, moved to Roman’s side and held him tightly, then turned to Elio and said, “I was feverish and delirious last night. If I were in my right mind, I’d never let you set foot in this house!”
Elio: “Astrid, I know all the suffering you’ve been through is because of me, and I’m really sorry. But can you give me a chance to make up for my past mistakes?”
