Elio entered the room full of anticipation but did not find Jon Instead, he saw a woman sitting on the This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

sofa watching TV.

The sound of the door made Gracie, who was munching on chips, turn around. She dropped her chips

when she saw Elio and the baby in Astrid’s arms, Roman.

Elio had never seen Gracle before, but seeing her casually eating chips in Astrid’s house, he guessed

their relationship must be out of the ordinary. Perhaps, it would be a bonus point in his pursuit of Astrid

With that thought, Elio nodded at Gracle, “Hi, I’m Ello”

“Yo–you hl Gracie was so startled she could barely speak. Ello, whom she had only ever seen online,

was standing in front of her and even greeting her? Unbelievablel Wasn’t Ello supposed to be arrogant

and dismissive? But he seemed quite polite now

*Pl–please, sit Gracle sat upright, brushed the chip crumbs off herself, and looked at Astrid with

confusion, “What’s going on?”

Seeing Gracie’s misunderstanding. Astrid quickly explained: ‘Don’t get it wrong, we’re just friends.

Right, Mr Lampard?”

Elio nodded in agreement. “Right”

behind her.

Astrid looked at Elio sitting on the sofa and gave an awkward but polite spille.

Elio was quite pleased with Gracie’s tact. He glanced at the three cups on the coffee table and couldn’t

resist asking Astrid, “Do you have other guests?”

Astrid was taken aback, then answered casually, “Oh, someone came to clean earlier.”

She wasn’t lying, Jon was indeed arranged by Magee to help her clean, but the outcome gave her a

headache

Hearing Astrid’s words, Elio’s eyes darkened. She didn’t tell him the truth. Why did she lle? What was

her relationship with Jon?

He had done some Investigation and found that Jon often flirted with his fans. Astrid seemed a bit

naive, was the being deceived?

“Ms. Irvine, Ello suddenly called her.

Astrid’s Instinctive glance at him made Elio slightly dazed. His original confrontational words changed

at the last moment: “If you need any help living alone, feel free to ask me.”

“Huh?” Astrid laughed awkwardly, “Mr Lampard is so busy, I won’t bother you with my little things.”

What a joke! Could she ask Ello to change a light bulb or fix her computer?

Elio: “Nothing is more important than you. As long as you need me, I’m available”

Astrid: “…”
