She gave Elio a glance. He was standing obediently at the door. She picked up Roman and turned to say, “Come on in.”
Elio walked in, nonchalantly closing the door behind him, and said, “Astrid, I actually came over today because I need to discuss something with you.”
“Go ahead.” Astrid put Roman on the couch, grabbed the remote and turned on his favorite cartoon.
Before Elio could speak, Roman piped up, “Mom, I’m going to kindergarten tomorrow. Can you take me to school?”
“Tomorrow?” Astrid nodded, “Of course!”
“Awesome!” Roman excitedly ran to the middle of the living room and started dancing. “I want them to know that I have a mom!”
Astrid listened, feeling a little sore in her heart. Elio softly explained, “I started sending Roman to nursery in early May. He’s quiet and I thought it would be good for him to interact more with kids his age, maybe he’d become more outgoing.”
“He was okay for the first few days, but on Mother’s Day there was an activity at the nursery. He didn’t have a mom and the other kids made fun of him.” “After that, he didn’t want to go to nursery anymore.”
Astrid listened to Elio’s words, feeling even more upset. She walked over, squatted down and hugged Roman, “Roman, as long as mom’s free, I’ll take you to and from school, okay?”
“Okay!” Roman smiled sweetly, “I really want mom to take me, but I know you’re really tired from work. If you’re too tired, Elio can take me.”
“My Roman is really sensible, much more sensible than someone.” Astrid cuddled Roman, kissing him a few times, “If you’re going to school tomorrow, you can’t stay up too late tonight.”
Roman: “Okay!!
Astrid led Roman towards the bathroom. After a few steps, she turned back to look at Elio, who was sitting on the couch playing with his phone, “Elio, come and give your son a bath!”
“A bath?” Elio seemed taken aback, and then replied, “Alright.”
Roman was already quite grown up, but Elio had never bathed him before. novelbin
Elio took Roman into the bathroom. It wasn’t long before Astrid heard complaints from inside. “Elio, soap got in my eyes!”
“Elio, the water’s too hot!”
“Elio, the water’s too cold!”
“Mom! Mom, save me, Elio is abusing me!”
Astrid rolled her eyes.
Roman could actually bathe himself, but the bathroom floor in the new house was a bit slippery. She hadn’t bought a non–slip mat yet, so she asked Elio to help him.
Who would have thought, Elio didn’t even know how to bathe a child!
What good was a dad like that!
She was speechless.
At that moment, her phone rang. Astrid went to answer it. The caller ID showed Yates‘ name.
As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard Yates‘ cheerful voice, “Astrid, to celebrate your move, how about I treat you to a meal tomorrow?” Astrid yawned mightily, “I’m starting a new job tomorrow, I won’t have time.”
Yates: “How about I treat you to late–night snacks tonight?”
Astrid: “I don’t want any late–night snacks. I already ate a lot tonight. Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.”
Yates went silent.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Elio couldn’t find a towel after searching for a while, so he came out and saw Astrid on the phone. He asked loudly, “Astrid, where are the towels?” Hearing this, Yates on the other end of the phone was instantly displeased.
Ello was taking a bath at her place?
