The moment Jay heard that Johnnie was going to meet Astrid the next day, he immediately advised, “I suggest you don’t go near
that woman. Who knows what kind of trap she’s set for you?”
"Dad, you're underestimating me. Do you think I'm like that waste, Lucas?" Johnnie's voice was filled with disdain when he
mentioned Lucas. "You have one son like me, isn't that enough? | can't believe you brought that brat hall those years ago."
Jay looked at Johnnie, wanted to say something, but then held back. Finally, he stormed upstairs.
After settling Lucas, Astrid and her crew returned to the Lampard's residence.
Roman was sitting on the porch steps, and the moment he saw Astrid get out of the car, he bolted towards her, “Mommy!!”
Astrid looked at the chubby little figure running towards her and immediately squatted down to hug him and showered him with
kisses, “Did you miss Mommy, Roman?”
"I did, I missed Mommy the most!" Roman hugged Astrid's neck, his little legs happily kicking in the air. "Mommy, how's Lucas?
When can he leave the hospital?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAstrid replied, “Well... he might have to stay in the hospital a bit longer, but he'll live with you once he's discharged.”
Roman was thrilled, “That's awesome! We can play video games together again! By the way, Mommy, | received a strange parcel
today."
"A parcel?" Astrid raised an eyebrow, "Where is it?"
Roman answered, “It's in the house. | didn't open it.”
Amanda and Matthew exchanged worried glances, fearing someone sent something dangerous. They suggested, “Roman, didn't
you learn how to bake cakes? Why don't you go prepare sfor your mom? Grandma can help you.”
Roman pouted, “I know you're trying to distract me, I'm not a three-year-old anymore!”
Everyone fell silent.
"That's okay, I'll open it." Eentered the room and walked towards the parcel on the table. Everyone held their breath as he
unwrapped it.
But when he opened it, all he saw was an old, damaged photograph.
Epicked it up. The photo was so damaged that the faces were unrecognizable.
On the back of the photo was a sentence-“I'm coming to claim what's rightfully mine.”
“What's this?” Amanda snatched the photo, “Matt, isn’t this from one of your old flames? Nice going, Matt. You said you only had
eyes for me. So, who's this woman? This photo looks so old. It's definitely not from Elio's romantic past. It must be yours!”
Matthew looked baffled, “Nonsense, | don't have any old flame.”
Astrid took the photo and studied the person in it. She felt a strange sense of familiarity from those eyes. Because of this photo,
Amanda and Matthew had a fight. Frustrated, Amanda went back to her parents’ house.
Early next morning, Edrove Astrid to meet Johnnie, they were meeting at a chic coffee house.
Johnnie had reserved the entire place. Astrid went upstairs to see Johnnie standing in front of a canvas, painting with intense
concentration.
From the outside, he didn’t seem anything like the dreadful person Ehad described.
Astrid didn’t disturb him and sat down at a distance. She didn’t touch anything on the table.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a while, Johnnie spoke, “Why are you sitting so far away? Are you scared of me?”
Astrid replied, “Why should | be scared? You're not a monster.”
Johnnie smirked, “I might not eat others, but as for you, who knows?”
Astrid was puzzled, hat a weird thing to say at their first meeting.
Truly disgusting.
