Chapter 363
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 363 Astrid wouldnât open the door, so Rickon thought an annoying reporter had snuck in. He stepped forward, pulling Astrid behind him, and then opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Yates perked up. Seeing Rickon at the door, his smile froze on his face. âRickon, what are you doing here?â
His gaze swept across the other people in the room. Yates instantly knew he was in hot water and tried to run away!
But he was grabbed by the collar. By the time he realized what was happening, he was thrown onto a chair by Rickon, with everyone else staring at him like he was under interrogation.
Rickon chuckled, âDo you make a habit of disturbing Astrid at night?â
âNo, not at all,â Yates shook his head. âI donât have the nerve! I just saw someone attacking Astrid online today, so I came to comfort her.â
Brandon patted Yates on the shoulder. âDidnât I warn you not to bother Astrid?â
âYes, yes, you did.â Normally, Yates was a bit of a loose cannon, but whenever he saw anyone from the Brooke family, he turned into a scared rat.
After all, they were not to be messed with. âI just want to be friends with her, I wonât bother her anymore, Brandon, trust me.
âTrust you?â Jon scoffed. âYouâre as trustworthy as a threeâdollar bill. Stay away from Astrid, you playboy!â
Yates was speechless.
What rotten luck he had today!
If heâd known these guys were here, he wouldnât have shown up!
He shot Astrid a pleading look, but she was engrossed in watching cartoons with Roman.
Seeing Brandon start to crack his knuckles, Yates blurted out, âRickon, thereâs no need! Really no need! Iâll leave right away, right away!
Brandon: âDonât bother Astrid again.â
âGot it, got it!â After his words, Yates was kicked out of the room. He looked at the closed door and let out a long sigh.
With all these people protecting Astrid, sheâd have a hard time getting hitched!
But he wouldnât give up. He was only saying he wouldnât bother her just to save his own skin.
Anyway, these guys all have their own things going on. They wonât stick around for long, and then heâll be back in the game!
Yates went to call the elevator when his butler rang him. He answered, âYeah?â
Butler said, âMr. Hamilton, youâd better hurry back home. Thereâs trouble!â
âTrouble? What trouble?â Yates responded nonchalantly.
Butler replied, âA bunch of women showed up. Theyâre all claiming to be your girlfriends, and three of them even say theyâre pregnant. Youâd better come back ASAP!â
His girlfriends??
Yatesâs voice hardened. âI donât have any girlfriends!â
Butler said, âWell, they all have pictures with you on their phones. You know how your parents have been dying for a grandchild. Now there are three on the way. Theyâre over the moon. If you donât come back, things might get out of hand!â
âHow could they possibly be pregnant!â Yates protested loudly. âLet alone three of them!â
People in the elevator gave him surprised looks when they heard his words.
Yates noticed and felt a bit embarrassed. He coughed lightly, âAlright, alright, Iâll be right there!â
Back at the hotel, as Elio was about to rest, he received a message from Carson, âMr. Lampard, everythingâs been handled. Yates has left.â
Chapter 364 Elio replied, âAlright, keep an eye on him.â
Carson said, âYeah, Boss, I noticed something odd. Robb seems to be investigating the Lampard family.â
Investigating the Lampard family?
Elio was quiet for a few seconds, âStay out of it, pretend we didnât notice. If he wants to dig, let him do it.â
Carson replied, âYes.â
In fact, Elio knew why Robb was investigating the Lampard family. It was because Robb was worried about his sister, Astrid, getting hurt. Gotta hand it to Robb, he was sharp.
Indeed, the Brooke family wasnât as harmonious as it appeared on the surface, with chaos lurking behind the scenes.
Elio didnât get a tiny bit of sleep that night.
Early the next morning, Elio went to Astridâs door and knocked, only to find the mother and son fully decked out in matching outfits.
Gotta admit, Elio felt a pang of jealousy.
Because he was always left out when this mother and son duo went out to play.
Upon seeing Elio, Roman was quite dismissive, âWhat brings you here, Elio?â!!
Elio asked, âWhere are you guys headed?â
âI havenât spent time with Roman for a while. My flight got canceled because of the weather, so I thought Iâd take him to see his favorite movie.â Astrid held Roman, feeling quite content.
âMovie?â Elio paused, âIâll come along Roman asked, âDonât you hate anime movies?â
Busted again, Elio felt like punching Roman, donât like anime movies, but I like watching your mum.
Roman and Astrid Were both speechless.
That came out of nowhere. But man, this guyâs flirting game hadnât improved a bit.
Roman didnât want Elio to come at first, but seeing Elio looking all pitiful, he said, âMum, letâs take Elio. We need a driver.â
Hearing this, Elio gave Roman a look. Finally, Roman was on his side.
The thought of the three of them munching on popcorn and watching a movie made Elio feel a tinge of anticipation.
Astrid knew Roman wanted Elio to come, so she nodded, âAlright then...â
Before she could finish her sentence, the elevator doors opened and four tall figures walked out.
Seeing two of them, Roman was taken aback, because they were decked out in Pikachu from head to toe, and they looked identical!
âStar!â Edgar Brooke lunged in for a hug. Astrid quickly held out a hand to block him, âWhat are you guys doing here?â
âEven Nash Brooke is here, this must be serious!â
âLetâs talk inside. You guys are attracting way too much attention. Next thing you know, the paparazzi are going to accuse me of having a private meeting with several men in a hotel!â Saying this, Astrid went back into the room.
Elio was completely ignored, but he didnât leave. Instead, he followed them into the room.
Roman stared wideâeyed at Edgar and Edwin Brookeâs Pikachu outfits, he was over the moon!
Edgar noticed the kidâs gaze and immediately took out a cute Pikachuâthemed outfit from his backpack, âRoman, Iâm Edgar. This is a gift for you. It matches the outfit Iâm wearing!â
âThank you! I love you!â Roman was thrilled as he hugged the outfit tightly. Then, the other three also gave Roman gifts.
Roman was beyond pleased with every single gift!
Roman grinned, âMum, do I have other relatives? I want more gifts!â
Hearing this, Elio wanted to kick this kid out.
He already had eight relatives!
Does he really need more?
Just then, Nathan Brooke turned his head to look at Elio.
Elio greeted first, âHi there, Iâm Elio.â
Nash glanced at Elio, pulling out a transparent bottle from his bag, Seeing the liquid in the bottle, Nathan was immediately taken aback!
Isnât this the stuff he said heâd use to blow up the bad guys?
