Oh my gosh!
There were so many reporters outside, if she got caught on camera, it was game over. Who knew what
kind of stories they’d write about her! She hadn’t even officially debuted, and she would already be
wrapped up in scandal. How can she possibly stay in the entertainment industry! Thinking about this,
Astrid whimpered, “Mr Lampard, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said you’re like a stubborn disease. I
realize my mistake now.” Hearing Astrid’s soft voice, Elio felt a ticklish sensation, as if a kitten was
scratching at his heart. He was on the verge of caving.
As they were about to leave the building. Astrid panicked and called out, “Mr Lampard, can’t you cut a
not–so–famous actress some slack?”
But no matter how much Astrid cried out, Elio didn’t stop. Luckily, there was no one else in this VIP
access, or else it would’ve been a bigger mess.
The exit was within reach. Seeing Elio reach out to push the door, Astrid panicked and smacked him on
the head, shouting, “Elio you jerk, put me down!” After yelling. Astrid immediately regretted it. Oh my
god, did she just insult Elio? And smack him? Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
It was over, he was definitely going to be furious.
But the expected scene didn’t happen. Elio held her at the door for a while, then put her down and
looked down at her, “What did you call me just now?” Astrid shivered, ‘Mr Lampard, I…”
“What did you call me?” Elio asked again.
His voice was no longer cold, instead sounding lazy with a hint of hoarseness. There was even a
teasing tone to it.
Astrid pursed her lips, “Elio…”
Elio: “Hmm.” He liked hearing her call his name. His displeasure vanished instantly. He let go of her
hand, ruffled her hair gently, and said in a doting manner, “Call me by my name from now on.”
He didn’t really plan on carrying her out, just wanted to give her a little scare.
His phone vibrated a few times. Elio looked at the messages, then said, “I have to go. I’ll see you later.”
Astrid was confused. Before she could react, Elio added, “Roman and Carson are waiting for you in the
car. You go first, I’ll be back later.”
“Oh.” Astrid obediently nodded. It took her a while to realize what he meant. Be back later? Did she
invite him to her house? How dare he take her home for granted? Recalling the events of last night,
Astrid firmly shook her head, “No way, I can’t let Elio stay overnight again.”
Murmuring herself, Astrid pushed the door open and walked out.
Some reporters took photos of her. She smiled and waved, then saw Roman waving at her from the car
window not far away.
She walked over, opened the car door and got in, then without hesitation pulled Roman into her arms
and gave him a kiss, “My little darling, did you miss me today?” Roman returned a cute smile, “Yes.”
Carson frowned. He was used to seeing Roman’s aloof demeanour, so seeing him act so cute now
seemed strange.
Astrid said, “You’re the best.”
After a sleepless night and no rest the day, Astrid was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open.
The car had only been moving for a few minutes when she fell asleep. After a while, Astrid stirred in her
sleep, feeling like she was in a rocking cradle. It was very comfortable.
A cradle?
Wait a second, why would there be a cradle!
Astrid woke up from her dream and when she opened her eyes, she saw Elio’s sexy jaw.
Oh my god! She was lying in Elio’s arms!
