Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 302
Elio never expected to find Yates in Astrid’s room. He wasn’t worried about Astrid falling for Yates, he just wasn’t keen on them
being alone together. “You can’t be talking like this. I’m not the home wrecker, Yates said, clearly miffed.
If Astrid wasn’t present, Yates would’ve probably lost his temper by now.
How could he possibly be the home wrecker?
If anyone’s the home wrecker here, it’s Elio, because Yates had known Astrid since kindergarten!
But this kid was Astrid’s little darling, so he couldn’t lose his cool with him. So he swallowed his annoyance, “Your mom and I go
way back. I’m not the home wrecker.”
“You are, you definitely are!” Roman was getting upset, “Mom, even though Elio’s not the best Dad, I don’t want a stepdad.”
“Abbas from my class told me his stepdad hits him a lot and doesn’t feed him. I don’t want a stepdad.”
Astrid And Elio were both speechless.
Watching her son fake crying on the screen, Astrid suddenly realized that her son was talented in acting.
This kid’s imagination was very strong.
Yates had only said one sentence, and he immediately thought of having a stepdad.
Even though she knew her son was fake crying, Astrid still reassured him, “Roman, don’t worry. He is the last man I want to
marry. So he won’t become your stepdad.”
“Great! Yay! That’s awesome!” Roman immediately stopped crying and high–fived Elio in celebration.
Yates felt like he’d been sucker punched, “Astrid, what do you mean by that?”
“It means exactly what I said. I only see you as a friend. I don’t have feelings for you. I don’t like you, so I won’t be with you. I
must’ve said this at least ten times, right?” Astrid got up and walked into the kitchen, and Yates followed her.
She turned around to see Yates looking at her with a pitiful expression, “Astrid, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before.”

When you confessed your feelings to me before, I blocked you. I was hoping you could forget about me and find someone to
spend your life with. So if you are still making trouble now, I can still ignore you.”
Yates said, “My god, you’re so ruthless.”
“You’d better leave now, or it’ll ruin my image if this is caught on camera.” Astrid pulled Yates up, opened the door, and pushed
him out.
Yates stood outside, looking at the closed door, and casually whistled as he left.
This wasn’t the first time he’d been kicked out, so it wasn’t a big deal.
Astrid sat back down on the sofa and continued video chatting with Roman. “Roman, how have you been doing at school
recently?”
Roman said, “I’ve been doing well. All the teachers say I’m the smartest.
Elio immediately started complimenting them, “You must be very smart, your mom is a smart woman after all.”
“Yes, I’m lucky that I inherited my mom’s brains. If I had inherited your intelligence, I might have trouble even finding a wife.” As
soon as Roman finished talking, he could feel the atmosphere around him drop.
Afraid of being hit by Elio, Roman started crying again, “Mom, you should find me a stepdad after all. A biological dad who hits is
worse than a stepdad.” Elio And Astrid were speechless again.
