Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 422

Thinking about it, Gracie took off quietly.

The night fell silent again. Roman had already snoozed off, and Astrid carried him to the bedroom.

Then, she picked up her phone and scrolled through some tweets.

Hashtags related to Elio's confession were still trending. Surprisingly, no one seemed to have an

opinion on Elio's matter tonight. She was a bit confused about what they were thinking.

Christmas was coming soon.

Dale had helped her to turn down work for the near future, so she had a good, long sleep at home.

When she woke up the next day, Roman was still sound asleep. She tiptoed out of bed and looked at

the foggy window. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

The temperature was even lower than yesterday. She turned the heater up a bit, walked out of the

room, and from the living room window, she saw the blue roses on the opposite building.

She walked a few steps forward and saw that the square was full of blue roses. There were a few

words in between: Happy Birthday, Astrid.

There was a figure standing among the flowers. She couldn't see his face, but from his silhouette, she

knew it was Elio.

Neighbors from the adjacent buildings were taking pictures from their windows, and there was a buzz

of discussion upstairs and downstairs. Some girls even started arguing with their boyfriends.

"Wow, who's the big shot confessing his love with these expensive flowers?"

"Definitely not cheap. I've only ever seen dyed blue roses, never pure ones!"

"That's not the point, the point is that guy is so handsome!"

"Look at other people's boyfriends, and look at you. Oh man, I chose the wrong one!"

"Where's the girl? Why is there only a guy?"

"This must be a not-so-simple woman, look how infatuated this handsome guy is."

"Oh my gosh, I only found out today that I live in the same complex as Astrid, oh my gosh!"

They had already celebrated her birthday last night. So Astrid didn't understand what the heck Elio was

up to so early in the morning.

Wasn't he just revealing her own address?

However, before Astrid could call to question him, Elio had already called her.

"Hello." Astrid answered the phone grumpily.

Elio said, "Astrid, come down."

Astrid said, "I'm not coming down."

If she went down, she'd have to face the whirl of discussion again.

"If you don't come down, then I..." As Elio was speaking, a sound of testing a microphone came from

outside, "Hello, , can you hear me?"

"Elio! I'm warning you not to play tricks!" Astrid gritted her teeth and yelled his name, then hung up the

phone in anger.

If she didn't hurry down, who knew what shocking things this guy would say in public.

But if she let him get away with it this time, he'll definitely push his luck!

After thinking about it, Astrid texted Elio: [I'm not going down, you come up.]

Elio: [If I could come up to you, I would have done so long ago.]

Seeing this message, Astrid raised an eyebrow. She walked to the door, gently pulled it open, only to

find it unusually quiet outside.

“Doesn’t seem like anything’s wrong?” She murmured to herself. Just as she was about to go back, she

realized the elevator wouldn’t stop at her floor. She walked to the elevator and pressed the button, but

neither the up nor down button responded.

Just then, she heard a faint noise from the safety passageway.

Astrid furrowed her brows, walked over, and forcefully pulled open the door. A bearded, round-faced

man appeared before her, "Star, I've got a surprise for you! Happy Birthday! I'm here! Are you happy?"
