Chapter 232
Amanda heard this and was a bit taken aback, "Ah, you guys know each other?"
"Yes, we do." Astrid looked at Hawthorne with a somewhat cold gaze. It seemed like tonight wouldn't be so peaceful.
Honestly, ever since Hawthorne risked his life to find her, her life was bound to change.
She had no idea when Hawthorne had become what he was now.
Maybe he had always been like this, but he had concealed it so well that she had never noticed.
"Whoa' Babe, I finally get to see you in person; you're even more stunning than you are on TV!" Lucas Lampard jumped in front of Astrid and quickly pulled out a few white T-shirts from his bag. "Astrid, do me a solid; I've been boasting to my friends that I know you, and they want your autograph. Please!"
"No problem." Astrid took the pen from Lucas and signed all the T-shirts for him.
"Whoa, I'll be the talk of the school for a whole year!" Lucas was bouncing around Astrid.
Astrid's penmanship was beautiful, which earned her praise from Lucas, "Whoa, are you some sort of superwoman? Your handwriting is even better than some calligraphy masters'; did you fall for Elio because you're shortsighted?"
"Ouch, who dares to hit me?!" Lucas felt a pain in his head right after he finished speaking, and he turned around to see Elio staring at him coldly.
Lucas Lampard's anger 'vanished instantly, and he became respectful, "I've been a bit dizzy lately; your hit woke me right up!"
He was so excited to see Astrid that he rushed over without seeing Elio.
If he had known Elio was there, he would have never said something like that, "You and Ms. Irvine are a match made in heaveny a handsome guy and a beautiful girl!" Astrid was speechless.
She handed the signed T-shirt to Lucas, "Why are you afraid of him? He won't eat you."
"That's where you're wrong, you know, he..." Lucas was cut off by a glare from Elio, which scared him into shivering and quickly retreating.
"Aunty Astrid!" Roman's voice came over, and Astrid turned to see him running towards her, all chubby and full of joy.
Astrid squatted down to catch him and picked him up, "Roman, let's go get something to eat."
"Okay, I love you the most!" Roman wrapped his arms around Astrid's neck, completely ignoring Elio.
Seeing Astrid about to leave, Hawthorne whispered, "Astrid, do you think Amanda can accept someone like you?"
Although Hawthorne didn't explicitly state his meaning, Astrid was smart and immediately understood what he was trying to imply.
He was suggesting that Amanda wouldn't accept a woman who had already had a child as her daughter-in-law.
The Lampards were high society, but she was too!
Hawthorne's thinking was too simplistic.
She slightly raised her head, "Hawthorne, are you still living in the old days?"
