Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 186

Chapter 186

"Her door's open; she's back! Awesome!" Roman's sweet voice echoed from outside the door. Astrid turned around and saw the little guy running towards her.

Dropping what she held onto the couch, she squatted down to pick up Roman, kissing his chubby cheek. "Long time no see, Roman. I've missed you!" "I've missed you too!" Roman responded, hugging Astrid's neck happily. Spotting the odd items on the sofa, he exclaimed, "What are these? Tiny flashlights?" "Hm? Oh, it's nothing." Astrid replied with a smile. Elio, however, had already moved to pick up the can of pepper spray.

Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "Did you buy this?"

"Nope, the guys gave it to me," Astrid responded, noticing a slight change in Elio's expression.

Elio frowned, "So, you think this stuff would be useful to me?"

"Well, we wouldn't know unless we try, right?" Astrid said, gripping a taser, a smirk on her face.

Roman, curious, picked up the powerful flashlight and directed it into Elio's eyes. Suddenly Elio couldn't see and shouted, "Roman!!! I'm blind!"

"I'm sorry!!" Roman, terrified at Elio's reaction, apologized.

He had no idea this was no ordinary flashlight.

Had he known it would blind Elio, he would never have casually pressed the button.

Seeing his panic, Astrid soothed him, "Roman, you should only shine this at the bad guys' eyes, not your dad's."

"I know, I'm sorry..." Roman pouted, tears streaming down his face. "Will Elio go blind?"

Astrid shook her head reassuringly, "No, he'll be able to see again soon."

"Elio, don't yell at him," Astrid approached and gently grabbed Elio's arm, "Come sit and rest a bit. Close your eyes, and they'll recover

soon."

"Roman, could you get your dad a glass of water?" She asked. Roman immediately went to fetch a glass of water.

Having done something wrong, Roman was unusually obedient.

Recently, Roman had been spoiled rotten by his grandparents, gaining quite a bit of weight, which made him look even cuter.

His chubby cheeks jiggled as he walked, making Astrid want to squeeze and kiss him.

"You guys take a break; I'll make dinner," Astrid was about to get up when Elio suddenly grabbed her by the wrist.

She turned around and waved her hand before his eyes, "You can see already?"

Elio nodded, "A little bit. You've been busy all day. Go wash up and rest a bit; I'll handle the cooking."

'No biggie, just cooking a meal wouldn't tire me out," Astrid said, trying to free her hand. Just then, a noise sounded at the door, which

swung open.

A skinny man carrying an electric guitar stood in the doorway.

His hair was fluffy like instant noodles, he had five earrings in his left ear, and he wore ripped jeans. He looked very wild.

A chill flashed in his slender eyes after noticing Elio tightly holding Astrid's hand, "Are you looking to get whacked? Who permitted you touch her?"
