Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 283
“It’s late, you should head home, we’re calling it a night.”
As Elio reached for the door, Yates stopped him with an outstretched hand, “Elio, you’re always surrounded by beautiful women
and constantly embroiled in scandal with female celebrities, you’re not good enough for her.”
“All those rumors are bull. I’ve only ever had eyes for her, unlike you who could probably form a football team with your exes.
Elio’s words made Yates freeze.
“What’s the big deal about having a few ex–girlfriends?” Yates didn’t let go, “Elio, listen to me, if you hurt her again, I’ll wreck your
Lampard Group
tomorrow.”
Elio said, “You won’t get the chance.*
With that, Elio slammed the door shut.
Turning around, he saw Astrid standing at the bedroom door watching him.
“Elio, open up! Elio, leave here!” Yates’s shouts echoed from outside. Astrid, worried about getting complaints from the
neighbors, opened the door.
Seeing Astrid in her pajamas, Yates looked hurt, “Astrid, why are you letting him spend the night?”
“Yates, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?” Astrid said with a hint of exasperation, “Go home. I’m tired, I want to
sleep.”
“No, I’m not leaving, I’m staying here tonight too!” Yates knew Astrid wouldn’t throw him out, so he barged in, threw himself on
the sofa and pretended to sleep.
He even started to snore.
Astrid was used to Yates’s antics and merely found them annoying: “Yates, how old are you? Still playing these childish games?*
Yates mumbled from the couch, “I don’t care, if he can stay, so can I.”

Astrid was helpless.
“Elio, go to bed, don’t mind him.” Astrid then retreated to her bedroom.
Ekó smirked.
He was prepared to be kicked out, but Yates’s tantrum meant he could stay.

Although the guy was a bit of a pain, he did serve a purpose.
Elio picked up his laptop from the side and headed into the second bedroom.
Next morning, while Yates was still asleep, he was awakened by the sound of a child’s chattering.
“Mom, there’s a giant monster on our sofa. It’s huge.”
Astrid glanced at Yates sleeping on the sofa under the blanket and whispered, “That’s not a monster.”
Roman asked, “Then why is he staying at our place?”
“Hmm...” Astrid smiled, “Because he’s my friend.”
“Friend?” Roman tilted his head, “Is he the kind of friend who will take mom away?”
Astrid chuckled at Roman’s question, she touched his nose gently, “Don’t worry, ho one will take me away. I will always be with
Roman.”
Roman’s eyes lit up instantly, “Elio can’t take mom away, right?”
“Of course not.” Astrid put his little hat on Roman, grabbed his backpack, and held his hand gently, “Let’s go, Roman. We need
to get going, or we’ll be late.”
