Chapter 120
Magee was thrilled to hear it. “Great, you guys carry on chatting. Kid, come on, I’ll take you to have some
fun!”
Yay!!!” Roman stretched out his neck excitedly and kissed Astrid’s face. “See you~ I’ll miss you
“Okay.go play” Astrid patted Roman’s head and looked at Magee again, reminding him with worry, “Dad,
find a hat for Roman and apply some sunscreen. His skin is delicate, he can’t be exposed to the sun too
much, and…”
Before Astrid could finish speaking, Magee had already picked up Roman and was walking away, singing
as he went.
Roman was laughing out loud, his little legs swinging In the air, having a blast.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElio thought to himself, the little guy is leaving, he should say goodbye to him, right?
But he was wrong. Until Roman disappeared from his sight, Roman never looked back at him.
Like his dad didn’t exist.
Hawthorne at the window on the second floor was watching Astrid and Elio standing In the yard, his eyes
dimming slightly.
“Mr. Lampard, Star, let’s go inside. It’s too hot outside…” Dailey made a gesture of invitation standing
nearby. Astrid could tell that Dailey’s attitude towards Elio was a bit different.
Polite, but with a hint of fear.
Yes, fear.
But why would he be afraid of Elio?
“Star, why are you staring at Mr. Lampard? It’s rude.” Dailey spoiled Astrid by ruffling her hair. “Go up to
the second floor balcony and see Hawthorne, he’s been waiting for you for a long
time.”
“Okay.” Astrid nodded and headed upstairs.
As soon as she started climbing the stairs, Elio followed.
“What are you following me for?” Astrid looked back and asked.
Seeing Astrid being so rude to Elio, Dailey almost lost his legs from fright.
Everyone knew Elio was a tough guy, but nobody knew that this man had another identity that scared the
bejesus out of people.
Even he had to tread carefully in front of Elio, but Astrid was bold and disrespectful.
*Sir, someone is looking for you.” The servant shouted at the door, and Dailey, stiffening, turned to Elio
and said, “Mr. Lampard, I have something else to attend to, please excuse me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElio nodded, “go do your things, don’t mind me.”
After Dailey left, Elio turned his attention back to Astrid.
“What am I doing here? Of course, I’m here to check on the patient.” Elio responded calmly, then added,
“And by the way, I wanted to see what your fiancé looks like.“. Hearing the word “fiancé“, Astrid was
speechless, “He’s not my fiancé, we broke off the engagement a long time ago, do you know him? Why
are you here stirring the pot?” “Star, come here.” Hawthorne’s gentle voice came from the doorway.
Astrid looked up and saw Hawthorne sitting in a wheelchair at the door.
She gently closed her mouth, then quickly stepped forward, “Hawthorne, how are you feeling?”
“As soon as I see you, I can’t feel any pain.” Hawthorne smiled faintly, as comforting as a spring breeze,
“Hello Mr. Lampard, my Star is a bit rude, I hope you don’t mind.”
My Star?
