Rowan's gaze lingered on Astrid as she and the doctor discussed Noah's condition. He had no idea what to do and since the situation was about his son, she stepped in to help."He needs to get some sleep, eat healthy foods, drink a lot of water and please don't let him off your sight. It is a miracle that his vitals are still in good condition after being suffocated in a locked cupboard," the doctor said and Astrid's eyes widened in shock."Locked cupboard?" She questioned, turning to Rowan for an explanation."Um...I will leave you both for now. Take care," the doctor excused himself after throwing Rowan an apologetic smile.He forgot about their divorce and revealed what happened to Noah yesterday."You don't have to explain anything to me. If you want to be a father then take good care of your son and protect him from danger," Astrid cautioned him then turned to leave but he grabbed her hand, stopping her in place."Astrid, wait. Can I talk to you?" He asked."I am a busy person, Ro

Astrid selected a white wine made out of green grapes and little alcohol. She did the basic etiquette for wine tasting and nodded her head when the fresh flavor of the drink hit her tongue.Her next stop was the cake area, while she was busy thinking of the one to choose, her admirer pulled up beside her and made a suggestion."You should try this. It is the best here so far," he said and she glanced at him before picking his choice.A bite of the cake lit up her eyes in amusement."It's so nice. Thank you," she politely said."I am glad you like it. My name is Scott Knight," he introduced."Oh, Astrid Everhart. Do you live here? I mean, you don't look like an Angeleno," she pointed while taking his hand for a shake."I get that all the time. Well, you are not wrong. I don't base here but in San Francisco.

He was angry at himself, for not being able to explain the situation and most of all for being careless.He couldn't even bring himself to yell at Victoria for what she did.

But Rowan stayed away from her, his anger was beyond comprehension and the last thing he would do is to hit a woman.Instead, he asked Chef Gladline to take over the household and instructed Victoria being kicked out of his house."You can't do this to me Rowan! if I am going to leave, then I will take my son with me," she commanded."Alright, if that is how you want to play it. meet me in court to tomorrow for the child's custody. You don't deserve to be his mother," he spat at her with rage in his voice."So just because I took a damn ring from your closet makes me a bad mother?" "Yes! you are more than a bad
