Chapter 35
Astrid lifted her head slightly, only to see Elio standing at the entrance.
Seeing Fannie’s coy demeanor, Astrid couldn’t help but frown. The media had previously reported
about Elio and Fannie’s unusual relationship. It seemed these reports weren’t baseless
She recognized the gift box in Elio’s hand because it was from her brand
He had chosen the jewelry she designed as a gift to Fannie. Astrid didn’t know how to describe her
feelings at the moment, only that she felt a bit uncomfortable. Seeing Fannie’s shy and timid
expression, there was clearly something going on between the two.
Astrid thought to herself, how could he keep flirting with her while having a girlfriend, even claiming she
was the woman of his dreams. Good thing she didn’t fall for his lies! This man, really…
Fannie was standing there, staring at the man of a commanding presence in front of her, her heart
pounding, her hands nervously fumbling…
As for Elio, looking at the strange woman blocking his path, he knitted his brows in irritation, “Out of my
way.”
His voice was icy cold, freezing Fannie’s excited heart in an instant.
Out of my way?
Fannie stood there, stunned, asking in disbelief, “Elio, you… you’re not here to see me?”
“To see you?” Elio’s eyes flashed a cold light. “Who are you? Do you have an appointment?” Who are
you? An appointment?
Fannie’s already wounded heart shattered at his words. Elio didn’t recognize her?
She had orchestrated countless encounters with him, and shown interest in him more than once, but he
didn’t recognize her at all!
This sudden blow was too much for Fannie to bear, tears welling up in her eyes. She trembled, unable
to utter a word.
Just then, Elio, holding the gift box, walked past her.
Fannie whirled around to see Elio standing next to Astrid, offering the gift box to her, softly saying, “See
if you like it.”
Astrid was taken aback. Was she suddenly the center of attention? Was Elio here to see her?
Elio was still as cold as ever, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Astrid was a bit tender, a side
of Elio, Fannie had never seen before.
She had always thought that Elio was cold to everyone.
Then she understood, he wasn’t naturally cold, his warmth just didn’t belong to her.
But why Astrid!!! Why her?
Ever since childhood, anywhere Astrid was, no one would notice her. These past few years, with Astrid
gone, she had shined in the entertainment industry, but why did Astrid steal away the man she had
loved for over four years the moment she came back!!!
Fannie’s eyes turned red, her voice choked with emotion, “Why? Mr. Elio, why her? What’s so good
about Astrid? Don’t be fooled by her appearance, she’s not a good person!”
Hearing Fannie’s words, a trace of displeasure crossed Elio’s face.
He slightly turned his gaze towards Fannie, his eyes filled with sternness and menace, his tone
chillingly harsh, “She’s the most wonderful person in the world to me. What right do you have to
criticize her? Do you want to leave on your own or should I have someone throw you out?”
The most wonderful person in the world? Was it her? Astrid looked up at Elio’s tall figure.
“Astrid, she, she…” Fannie had completely lost her mind. Fearful that she might say something that Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
could ruin her career, Paula quickly covered her mouth, apologizing to Elio, “I’m sorry, Mr Lampard.
Fannie’s not been herself lately. I’ll take her away now.”
