Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 188

Chapter 188

"I was just cooking..." Astrid didn't even finish her sentence before Nathan yanked her out of the kitchen, shutting the door behind them. Astrid helplessly shook her head, only to see Roman sitting fearfully on the couch, visibly shaken.

"Roman, don't be scared. He's just loud; he won't hurt you," Astrid whispered comfortingly.

Roman extended his chubby little hand to wrap around Astrid's arm, whispering, "Will he hit Elio?"

"No, he won't, Astrid gently ruffled Roman's hair, "He has a beautiful voice. After we eat, I'll have him sing for you."

"Okay, Roman obediently nodded. Glancing at the guitar by the couch, curiosity filled his eyes, "He sings nicely; can you sing too?" "Well..." Astrid laughed awkwardly, "I'm not really good at singing; how about we play a game instead?"

"Okay!" Roman gave a sweet smile and snuggled into Astrid's arms.

Not too long after, Elio's vision returned.

He pulled out his phone and texted Carson: "Can you look up a singer named Nathan who just finished his tour?"

Carson: "Are you talking about Nathan? My favorite singer!"

Carson: 'Are you going to sign him? I heard his contract is almost up!"

Mentioning his favorite singer, Carson got as excited as a kid in a candy store.

Elio: "Your idol? Do you know who his idol is? Or, what is his dream?"

Carson: "His idol is the songwriting king Barnett! His biggest dream is to share the stage with Barnett!"

Elio spun his phone around a few times and glanced at Astrid and Roman, who were engrossed in their game on the carpet. His eyes lit

up before he typed: "Have we confirmed the guest for our group's Summer Water Park opening ceremony?"

Carson: "Not yet; this water park is the biggest in the world; we must be cautious about choosing guests."

Elio: "The guests must include Barnett and Nathan; start arranging it now."

Carson: "But Barnett is an international superstar. His fees are high, and his schedule is hard to accommodate."

Elio: "I will personally invite him; you prepare the contracts."

Carson was stunned; his boss knew an international superstar.

But since his boss had given him a task, he had to do it. So, he started preparing contracts immediately.

About half an hour later, Nathan had finished cooking.

Roman feared Nathan, so he stuck to Astrid and followed her into the kitchen to carry out the dishes, hoping to win Nathan.

Nathan looked down at the kid beside him, "Little buddy, you should go out; the dishes are hot."

"If I don't help, will you still feed me?" Roman asked very seriously.

Nathan's eyes softened, "Of course, you're such a good boy; you'll get to eat."

Roman smiled and said, "Thank you."

He happily walked towards the door, but he turned back to Nathan at the kitchen entrance and said, "Can you give my dad a bowl of rice? He hasn't eaten yet today." Nathan paused, looking into Roman's big eyes. He laughed, "For your sake, I'll give him a bowl of rice."
