Amanda was worried that she might wake up Roman with her noise. So she stood by the door,
whispering, “Astrid, Astrid.”
Astrid turned around to see Amanda behind her, looking like she had something secretive to share.
She tiptoed to tuck Roman in and walked out of the room quietly, turning to Amanda and asking,
“What’s up?”
Amanda said, “Astrid, about the TV station incident today, I know all about it. Mandy is my friend, and I
didn’t know about you before, so I thought of getting a girlfriend for Elio.”
Hearing this, Astrid knew that Elio must have complained to Amanda first.
She looked at Amanda and laughed, “It’s cool, I’m not mad.”
Amanda ignored Astrid’s response and kept talking, “Over the years, I might have introduced many
girls to Elio, but he hasn’t even looked at a single photo! The thing about Yolande was just a

kept the photo, and it turned into a big misunderstanding.
Yolande really likes Elio! After several years, she still couldn’t find a boyfriend, so she kept waiting for
Elio. Her mother is really worried, saying that Yolande has become a spinster because of Elio, and
keeps talking about making Elio take responsibility. In reality, they have nothing to do with each other,
don’t be upset.”
Astrid could tell that Amanda was truly worried, so she comforted her, “I believe what you’re saying,
don’t worry too much.”
“Astrid, how can I not worry! Elio isn’t quick-witted, and he’s not articulate, I worry for him watching your
show.” Speaking of the show, Amanda suddenly changed the subject, “By the way Astrid, you’re so
incredible, you can catch sharks!”
“Is snake meat tasty?”
“Is it really hot on the island?”
The conversation went off on a tangent, and Astrid could only laugh and keep chatting with Amanda.
Soon, Elio had cooked spaghetti.
Astrid was really hungry, so she didn’t hesitate to eat a big plateful.
Elio sat across from her, quietly watching her eat. The two elders had somehow gone upstairs, leaving

After Astrid finished washing up, it was already late. She had been at the TV station for more than ten
hours, from rehearsal to the end of recording. She was really tired.
After washing up, she went back to Roman’s side and fell asleep hugging the little guy.
When she woke up the next day, Astrid received a text from Sandra, “Astrid, can you lend me three
hundred thousand dollars? I need to tide over.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf it wasn’t for this text, Astrid would have almost forgotten about this person.
She deleted the text, and not long after, Sandra sent another one, “This money isn’t for gambling, it’s
for your sister’s medical bills. Even though you guys have conflicts, you are sisters after all, can you
help her?”
Astrid smirked and replied, “When did she consider me her sister? I have nothing to do with your family
anymore. Don’t treat me like an ATM, and stay away from me.”
After sending the text, Astrid immediately blocked her number.
Astrid went about her work as usual in the following days, while Fannie was on tenterhooks every day.
After that night, she thought Astrid would come back and hit her with all the evidence.
However, days passed, and the internet was surprisingly quiet, as if nothing had happened that night.
