kicks
“Bang, bang, bang!” After a series of loud noises, the door opened
He immediately clenched his fists
But when he saw what the two people in the room were doing, he was stunned.
“Mr Lampard? What are you doing here?” Astrid looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front
of her, then glanced at the damaged door, looking puzzled. Elio looked into her perplexed eyes and
said casually, “Just passing by
Colton said. “Your turn to play”
Astrid turned her head to look at Colton, a lollipop in her mouth, and she smugly placed down her hand:
“Royal flush! You lose, pay up!”
She happily thumped the table and extended her hand to Colton, smiling.
“All yours, I’m wiped out again. You’re mally good!‘ Colton pushed all the money in front of him to Astrid
and continued clapping.
Astrid was happily counting the money her eyes squinted from smiling so much.
It was at this moment that Elio suddenly snapped back to reality.
Was he going crazy? He knew Colton was as smart as a five–year–old. What could a child do to her?
He was too impulsive.
He didnt know when, but this girl’s every move was unconsciously affecting his emotions.
His feelings for her were too intense, even he himself didn’t understand why this girl was so special to
him.
In front of her, he had always believed he could keep calm and composed but now all of that had gone.
At that moment he even found the laughing and joking scene in front of him to be quite an eyesore..
Seeing that Elio was still standing there, staring at her, Astrid felt uneasy and casually asked, “Mr
Lampard, why don’t you join us for a game? It’s pretty boring with just the two of us Elio looked at the
two seated opposite him and slowly said, “Alright.”
He actually agreed?
Astrid was a bit surprised. She was just asking casually and hadn’t expected Ello to agree
After all, Elio didn’t seem like the type to play cards.
The three of them played for a while, and Astrid clearly felt that since Ello joined, the atmosphere had
become weird.
Colton was scared of Elio. Ever since Elio arrived, he stopped talking and didn’t even dare to raise his
head.
“I have something else to do. You two continue playing.” After a round, Astrid got up and made her way
towards the exit.
Seeing her leaving, Colton immediately stood up and grabbed hold of the corner of her clothes, “Will
we meet again?” “No.” Elio said coldly, devoid of any sort of warmth.
His icy gaze swept across Colton’s face, and Colton’s pupils contracted slightly. He then let go of
Astrid’s clothes.
Astrid was taken aback by Elio’s unexpected speech. She looked at him in surprise. What was he up
to?
Why was he assuming authority over her decisions?
But she really didn’t want to see Colton again, not because she looked down on him for not being
smart, but because she didn’t want to be used by Sandra as a tool. “We’ll see each other again if it’s
meant to be.” Astrid responded. “Did you remember everything I told you?”
Colton obediently nodded, “I remembered.”
“Good, then goodbye.” Astrid smiled and waved at Colton, then walked out cheerfully.
But she didn’t anticipate Elio to follow her out and get into the elevator with her.
“…” Astrid looked at Ello through the elevator mirror, but this guy was expressionless and no different
than usual.
From the beginning, she hadn’t believed Ello’s excuse that he was just passing by. Who just casually
passed by and kicked open hotel doors?
And it just so happened to be the room where she and Colton had been.
After some thought, she could only come to one conclusion, that Ello was here to find her..
But why?
They’d only met a few times and didn’t know each other well.
Before Astrid could figure it out, the man who had been quietly standing at the side suddenly moved.
Stepping forward in front of her, and with a stretch of his long arm, he cornered her against his body!
