Speaking of this, Elio felt a bit peeved as well.
To clear up Astrid’s misunderstanding, he quickly explained, “My mom used to always bring pictures of
girls, saying she wanted to set me up. I swear I didn’t even look at them.”
“You didn’t look at them?” Astrid shot him a cold glance, “If you didn’t look at them, why are you
responsible for her daughter?”
Elio said, “Because when my mom brought the pictures, I was working. She said she had something
important, and I didn’t know it was pictures, so I let her leave them outside there. Then, Mandy thought
that I was really satisfied with the girl in the picture after seeing it, so she misunderstood. At that time,
the girl went around saying I was interested in her, and I had to go out of my way to explain. But,
Mandy and my mom are close, and I couldn’t be too harsh, so she always gets overly friendly with me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAstrid was speechless.
Just because Elio accepted the picture, she thought he was into her?
Is there really such a thing?
Astrid sneered, “I don’t believe a single picture could get you so entangled!”
Elio said, “Babe, I’m so wronged. You can ask Carson, I’m telling the truth.”
“Carson?” Astrid rolled her eyes, “Carson has always been your man, he’d definitely side with you.”
With that, Astrid picked up her stuff, opened the door, and said to Gracie, “Gracie, let’s go, time to head
home.”
Gracie was stunned, “Okay.”
As soon as Mandy saw Elio, she put on a smile and said, “Mr. Lampard, Yolande learned a new dance
recently, when will you come to my house? Yolande said she wants to dance for you!”
Looking at Mandy’s face, Gracie felt irritated but managed to hold it in.
Hearing this, Astrid immediately elbowed Elio, “Hey, a beauty offering to dance for you, that’s quite a
treat, nice. Better agree quickly, or the beauty might get sad.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

Gracie and Selena couldn’t help but want to laugh when they heard Astrid’s words.
Elio said, “Sweetheart, I only want to see you dance, as for other unimportant people, I couldn’t care
less.”
“I’m not your sweetheart!” Astrid glared at Elio and stormed off.
Mandy was shocked. Sweetheart?
Elio actually called Astrid sweetheart?
And the Elio in front of her was a bit too gentle, was this really the Elio she knew?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe often played poker with Elio’s mom and had seen Elio many times, each time feeling a strong cold
air from him.
But the him right now, was he actually trying to please Astrid?
Mandy wanted to say something, but Elio had already run after Astrid. She stomped her foot in anger
and grumbled all the way back to her dressing room.
When they got to the underground parking lot, Astrid was about to get in the car to go home when
Amanda called.
She quickly picked up the phone, “Hello, what’s up?”
Amanda said, “Astrid, Roman is sick, he’s had some fever medicine, but the fever hasn’t gone down,
he keeps calling for ‘mommy’, when are you coming back?”
Astrid replied, “I’m on my way now!”
“Gracie, you and Selena take a taxi home, and I’ll cover the fare. I need to go to Lampard Manor now.”
After saying this, Astrid got in the car and sped away.
