Chapter 155
Gracie watched the pouring rain with a furrowed brow. “Astrid, you can’t afford to catch a cold, let’s
head back and wait it out. It won’t rain all night.”
“I’m good, I’m fine, I can get in the rain.” Astrid slung an arm around Gracie, “Let’s sleep together
tonight.”
“No problem, it’s been ages since we had a sleepover.” Gracie chuckled, popping open the umbrella.
Just as they were about to leave, a car suddenly pulled up.
Through the rain, under the glow of the streetlight, the bystanders saw a tall man stepping out of the
car.
“Who’s that? He’s drop–dead gorgeous!”
“Doesn’t he look a bit like Mr. Lampard?”
“Which Mr. Lampard? So handsome!”

Gracie watched as Elio approached, then turned to Astrid.
Astrid was taken aback seeing Elio here unexpectedly, “What brings you here?”
Elio: “Picking you up from work.”
He came to pick her up???
He flew all the way from Sunhaven just to pick her up?
“Here, hold this umbrella for me.” Elio handed his umbrella to Astrid, who paused before grabbing the
handle.
The next moment, someone bent down and she was suddenly lifted off the ground.
Astrid !!!”
He just picked her up like that?
And in front of everyone!!!
Astrid: “Elio, put me down!”
Elio: “Don’t make trouble, or you will fall into the water.”
A gust of wind nearly blew the umbrella away.
With the road flooded, she didn’t fancy falling in, so she wrapped her other arm around Elio’s neck.
Elio, carrying her, slowly made his way to the car, leaving the crowd speechless.
Gracie shouted excitedly, “Mr. Lampard is so sweet! He carried her all the way just to prevent her feet
from getting wet!”
Teresa who was standing next to her said dissatisfiedly, “How can he be worthy of our Astar.”
Gracie was speechless.
Carlos was the first to snap back to reality, warning everyone not to spread rumors.
After all, Elio was known for his temper. If they spread news without his consent, the consequences
would be unthinkable.

Several bloggers who had helped Fannie had disappeared.
So, the media knew not to mess with stories about Mr. Lampard.
At the car, Elio carefully set Astrid down inside. The moment she got into the warm car, her cold body
started to thaw.
He… was being unusually caring today.
It was a bit unsettling.
Elio drove towards the hotel in silence. After a while, he said, “I bought some medicine for you, check it
out.”
“Medicine?” Astrid was baffled. She turned and saw a bag next to her. Inside were pills for stomach
pain and a jacket…
How did he know about her period???
And how did he know her stomach was upset?
Was she being monitored?
Astrid: “Elio, did you secretly install surveillance camera in my room?”
