Chapter 102
Yeah, sure Elio nodded, softening his gaze towards the old lady
Astrid chuckled. But I'm not his wife"
Elio replied. "Even if you're not now, you might be in the future What's mine is yours, take it
Astrid shook her head helplessly. "No need, I've got my own"
The old lady misunderstood, thinking Astrid was taking the card in front of her as a regular black bank card. "Astrid, just take it. This black card is not the same as yours."
Astrid responded, "Ma'am, I do have a black card That's why I can't accept this one, but I do appreciate it"
She did have a black card
She didn't happen to have it on her at the moment
But the old lady didn't believe it. After all, even she and Matthew, with their status, found it hard to get a black card. This card was given to her by Elio when their relationship was still intact
Even though Astrid was classy, she didn't look like the kind of person who would own a black card.
Despite Amanda's insistence, Astrid still refused to accept her card, so Amanda could only say, 'Astrid, no matter where you and Elio end up, I'll always be on your side. If he ever mistreats you, let me know I teach him a lesson!"
"Alright" Astrid, who had been abused by Sandra since she was young and had never met her biological mother, felt a sense of motherly love.
Amanda tried hard to play matchmaker with her and Elio, but het affection for Astrid was genuine,
"What a good girl... The old lady liked Astrid more the more she saw her. She held Astrid's hand tightly, "By the way, Astrid, where do you work? Do you want me to find you an easier job?" Feeling the warmth from the old lady's hand, Astrid smiled and said, “I'm an actress.”
"An actress?" The old lady perked up, "An actress, huh? Astrid, have you ever considered what movies you want to make? I can help arrange that."
Do you have any directors or actors you want to work with? I can get those big names to play supporting roles for you!"
"Oh, right, do you want to make a movie? What kind of movie do you want to make? I can fund it for you; what do you say?"
"No need, thank you. I can get the roles I want on my own." Amanda's enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming for Astrid.
Hearing this, the old lady laughed heartily, "Why are you being so formal with me? We're all family here!"
Watching the old lady fawn over Astrid, Elio wondered if he was her biological grandchild.
Just then, Astrid noticed Roman waking up through the glass window of the hospital room. She quickly said, "Roman's awake."
He's awake?" The old lady glanced into the room, saw Roman had opened his eyes, and immediately bustled in, saying, "Roman, my darling, are you feeling better?" Roman, who had been expressionless up until now, broke into a sweet smile the moment he saw Astrid.
After all, Astrid once told him she liked his cute side.
Seeing a Roman smile, Amanda was so excited she stammered, "Matthew, come quick! Roman's smiling! He's smiling!!!"
