Love in the Limelight

“Gotcha.” Astrid knew why Elio didn’t dare come up the moment she saw the excited Magee. After all, her dad was scarier than
anyone else.
“Dad, I’m so touched! You actually gave up something as important as fishing to come see me!” Astrid tightly hugged Magee’s
arm as they walked into the house.
Magee glanced at her room and started complaining right away, “Look at this dump! How can anyone live here? Why don’t you
stay in that big villa? Our bathroom is bigger than this room!”
“It’s smaller and easier to handle, also very cozy.” Astrid led Magee to the couch, whispering, “Roman is still asleep. Let’s keep it
down.”
Magee said, “That lazybones, still not up at this hour! I was thinking of taking him fishing!”
Astrid gave a wry smile. Sure enough, no matter where Dad went, he never forgot about fishing.
As soon as Magee sat down on the sofa, he saw Elio outside the window and was immediately displeased. He got up and
walked over to the window, pulling the curtains closed before settling back down on the sofa, satisfied. “Star, what’s going on
with you and that guy now?” Magee asked.
“Nothing really.” Astrid yawned, “He’s just one of many suitors.”
Magee looked at his beloved daughter and sighed deeply, “Star, there are plenty of good men in the world, why did you have to
have a kid with that Elio guy!”

Astrid was speechless. After a moment, she finally regained her composure and said helplessly, “Dad, I didn’t have a choice
back then.”
Magee remained silent for a while and said, “Star, I just want you to be safe and happy. The Lampard family is not easy to deal
with. Elio might truly care for you, but unless he can fully protect you and Roman, I won’t let you have any further contact with
him or anyone from the Lampard family.”
Magee rarely held his ground like this, usually going along with her ideas. It seemed the person behind the Lampard family was
scarier than she thought.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
Astrid, not wanting Magee to worry, hugged his arm and grinned, “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself, and Roman too. I’m
not just a pretty little actress, I’m a genius! Nothing can stump me!”
“Hmph, nothing can stump you?” Magee raised an eyebrow, “How about singing a song for me?”
“Grandpa!” Roman’s soft and sweet voice came from behind them. Magee turned and saw the cute little boy in his pajamas,
rubbing his eyes.
“Oh my little darling, come give grandpa a hug!” Magee enthusiastically hugged and kissed Roman, who didn’t resist.
Around noon, there was a knock at the door. Astrid thought it was Elio. When she opened the door, it was Yates.
Magee asked, “Star, is someone here? It’s not that Lampard family punk again, is it?”
“No.” Astrid had barely answered when Magee already rushed over with a broom.
Seeing Magee, Yates’ eyes widened, “Mr. Brooke, hello!”

“You?! You little punk, I haven’t settled the score with you for breaking my favorite fishing rod last time! You dare to show up in
front of me?” Magee started scolding as soon as he opened his mouth, leaving Yates with no choice but to silently endure.
