Chapter 44
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 44 Astrid was calling the guy in front of her âbroâ, which means he must be the Jon that Carson mentioned earlier.
Elio frowned involuntarily, feeling life was getting tough for the first time.
Sometimes, one gotta play nice to win over the girl you love.
Jon barked, âI ainât scared of getting banned! Even if I do, Iâm gonna teach this guy a lesson today!â
With that, Jon threw a punch at Elioâs face!
Just as the punch was about to hit Elioâs nose, Elio dodged with slickness, grabbed Jonâs wrist, and said quietly, âDude, itâs all a misunderstanding...â
Dude?
Astridâs eyes widened in shock. âHas he lost his marbles?â she thought.
Jon was taken aback too. âWhoâs your dude? Donât get it twisted! Werenât you the one who just rolled up your sleeves ready to throw down? Come on, letâs have a fair fight! Never been scared of anyone in a brawl!â
Elio didnât respond, just let go of Jonâs hand and walked into the kitchen.
His unexpected move left the other three in the room with puzzled expressions.
Astrid looked at Roman and asked quietly, âRoman, whatâs your dad up to?â
Roman just shook his head, totally clueless.
Jon was a bit stunned, then shouted, âWhatâre you doing in the kitchen? Looking for a weapon? Come out and fight fair!â
The kitchen was silent. After a while, Elio appeared at the kitchen door, wearing Astridâs apron and holding a fish in his hand.
He swept his cold eyes over Jon, and said slowly, âDude, I just rolled up my sleeves to cook, do you like fish?â
Astrid. â...â
Roman grimaced. His dad was getting more shameless by the second. It was clear he was ready for a fight. He looked just like when he used to fight Lucas Lampard! Cooking... What a load of bull! Elio never set foot in the kitchen.

ï¤Chapter 4596 âCook... cooking?â Jon clearly didnât buy it, looking disgusted, âStop talking nonsense, youâre shameless. You must already have kids and be married, right? Chasing after my sister while having kids, believe it or not, Iâll beat you to death!â
Elio raised his eyebrow, and patiently explained, âIâm not married.â
âI donât care if youâre married or not. Just leave, go now! My sister is a genius, sheâs too good for you!â Jon had a terrible impression of Elio and didnât give him any chance to explain, so he just shoved him out.
Elio, with a dark face, walked towards the door, turned to Roman and said, âRoman, letâs go.â
âIâm not going!â Roman shook his head.
Jon glanced at Roman, who was clinging to Astridâs leg. Roman quickly made a pleading gesture at Jon.
Jon, being a big fan of kids, and seeing Astrid also adored this little guy, said to Elio, âYou can go, but the kid stays.â
With that, he went and shut the door.
Elio was staring at the closed door, his face growing darker. He took out his phone and dialed Carson straight away, âCarson, is there something wrong with the info you checked? Why didnât you tell me Astrid had a brother?â
Hearing Elioâs icy voice, Carson shivered, âMr Lampard, thereâs absolutely nothing wrong with the info I checked. Ms Irvine was kicked out by her foster mother four years ago and disappeared. She doesnât have a brother.â
