Chapter 85

Chapter 85 “Elio?” Hal chuckled softly, “You can’t just pull someone out of a hat to get me off your back. Everybody knows Elio is single; how could you say he’s your husband?”

“Do you have any proof that you’re married? Do you even have a marriage certificate?”

“I’ll prove it.” A cold male voice sounded from behind. Before Astrid could react, a large hand rested on her shoulder, “Hi, I’m Elio; I am Astrid’s...

hubby.”

Astrid was utterly surprised to see Elio here and felt a bit jittery. This was not part of her plan.

Seeing Elio drape his arm over Astrid’s shoulder, the usual smile on Hal’s face finally vanished.

At this moment, a little boy slowly walked in, bowing to Hal, “Hello sir, I’m Roman; I’m mom’s... son!”

After saying this, Roman immediately hugged Astrid’s leg and affectionately called out, “Mommy!”

Astrid twitched at the corner of her mouth.

These two sure know how to put on a show.

Of course, Hal wouldn’t easily believe Astrid and Elio’s words, but the harmonious scene before him was too much to bear. He wanted to leave immediately!

Hal, suppressing his discomfort, stood up and said, “Well then, I wish you happiness.”

People gradually left the room, leaving only the sound of a roaring engine outside as the car drove away.

Elio looked down at the girl beside him with a slight smirk on his face. He had received a text from Fannie on the way here.

He had faith in Astrid, but when he reached the doorway, he saw the car.

He had seen this car when investigating Hal before; it had a large grim reaper decal on it, making it easy to recognize.

Initially, he was furious, but when he reached the door, he heard her say that he was her husband.

It felt pretty good.

Chapter 801 Living Off Her Astrid tried to move her shoulder, but Elio showed no sign of letting go. She had no choice but to bend down, pick up Roman, and say, “Roman, thanks for coming to Mommy’s rescue.”

Roman replied, “As long as Mommy is okay!”

“Wow, Roman, your speech is getting smoother. Good job!” Astrid gave Roman a kiss, then turned and saw Elio still staring at her.

Feeling a bit awkward, Astrid said, “Thank you, Mr. Lampard.”

Elio smiled and said, “Don’t mention it. You’re my wife; it’s my duty.”

The title “my wife’ made Astrid feel awkward, “I only used your name because I had no other choice...”

“It’s okay, feel free to use it. My name, my person, everything.” Elio’s deep voice echoed, making Astrid’s heart beat faster.

This guy was really taking a mile when given an inch.

Seeing her awkwardness, Elio decided not to tease her anymore, “What was the deal with that guy just now?”

Astrid’s eyes darkened at his words.

Just as Elio thought she didn’t want to talk about it. Astrid said in a low voice, “He was my professor in college. He pursued me relentlessly; everyone knew about it. I was disgusted, so I always refused him. We had a big fight at some point; I almost stabbed him with a knife.”

Astrid didn’t elaborate on the details, but Elio knew things were not as simple as she said. If it was just a normal argument, she wouldn’t have resorted to violence.

Looking at the girl’s somewhat gloomy eyes, Elio gently said, “If someone dares bully you in the future, fight back. If anything big happens, I’ll take care of it.”
