Chapter 416
Bernice's debut on her variety show turned into a laughing stock, so she went missing for a while.
Adventures in the Abyss's island survival journey went smoothly, ranking first in views across all
platforms and breaking daily online viewing records. The popularity of the participants kept rising,
especially Astrid. She was flooded with work opportunities and had resources aplenty, making other
rising stars green with envy.
As soon as Astrid got home and opened the door, a little boy rushed over and hugged her leg,
"Mommy!"
"Roman, I missed you so much!" Astrid, missing the little guy dearly, hugged him tightly, "Who brought
you here?"
"Gracie picked me up." Roman didn't let go of Astrid, instead he snuggled his face against hers and
hoped to stay as close to her as possible.
Gracie brought out the food, frowning at the sight, "Roman, your mom hasn't eaten properly in days on
that island. Get down now, and don't tire her out!"
Seeing the oxtail in red wine that Gracie brought out, Astrid couldn't help but swallow, "Gracie, you're
amazing, cooking such delicious food for me."
"Of course, not everyone gets to enjoy my culinary delights. Go wash your hands. Let's start eating."
Gracie swaggered back to get the food.
Roman obediently went to wash his hands with Astrid. Standing on a stool, he whispered to Astrid,
"Mommy, I think Gracie is in love."
"What?" Astrid raised an eyebrow, "How do you know?"
Roman said, "Jon said when someone's in love they can't help but smile at their phone. Gracie always
smiles at her phone. She looks really silly."
"Jon might be pulling your leg. She might just be looking at something funny on her phone!" Astrid
dismissed it, washing her hands and drying Roman's with a towel. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Roman's chubby little arms were adorable. He shook his head and said, "No, Gracie is definitely in
love. She even has a boyfriend in the game!"
"A boyfriend?" Astrid's mouth twitched, "Roman, how do you even know about this?"
Roman said, "Lucas always asks if any girls are looking for a boyfriend when he plays games with me,
so I know what it means! Mommy, I heard that people get scammed by their online lovers. Gracie is a
bit gullible, you need to check out this boyfriend of hers. What if she's being scammed?"
"Roman, you're the gullible one!" Gracie, hearing the little guy's words, said somewhat angrily, "A
boyfriend in the game is just a gaming partner. I didn't take it seriously. Astrid, don't listen to his
nonsense. Let's eat!"
"Alright, thank you, I won't hold back then!" Astrid said. It was hard not having proper meals while on
the island.
She really couldn't imagine how female celebrities who barely eat to keep their figures cope. Just ten
days and she felt like she couldn't bear it.
Seeing Astrid wolfing down her food, Roman thoughtfully poured her a glass of water and checked the
temperature, "Mommy, don’t eat so fast. I'll give you my food too, no one's going to compete with you
for it."
Looking at the thoughtful little guy in front of her, Astrid felt warm. She reached out and gently stroked
his head, "Thank you, Roman. I love you, my little darling."
