Love in the Limelight

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.”
Astrid 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 & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
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?
She 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.
