Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 341
The two became more and more active. The main issue is they won’t stop chatting up Astrid and they’re sticking too close for
comfort.
But Astrid had already agreed to their company, so he couldn’t say anything. The four of them headed towards the mountain.
Astrid has a memory like a steel trap, she had the map’s terrain memorized in no time.
Even though it’s their third day hiking up the mountain, their progress was slower than molasses in January. They’ve only
managed to cross two snowy mountains so far
And that hilltop lake was nearby. Everyone else’s flashlights died ages ago, but Astrid brought a solar–powered one. It gets
juiced up in the sun during the day, so it’s still going strong at night.
Elio was very caring, he’s worried about potential dangers ahead so he has been walking in front to lead the way.
Not long after walking, Elio saw the small lake ahead through the light of the flashlight. Parrish was so excited he almost jumped
for joy, but he knew better than to make a racket in the snowy mountains. So, he kept his voice down and told Astrid, “I tip my hat
to you, Astrid. There really is a lake!”
Clyde chimed in, “Sure, there’s a lake, but it’s frozen solid and we didn’t bring any fishing rods.”
“Pfft, who needs a fishing rod to ice fish in winter? This is all we need.”
Astrid held up her ice auger with a smug grin, “It’s colder than a well digger’s ass here every day, and this lake is formed from
accumulated rainwater. It’s stagnant water. As soon as we break the ice, the fish will come up for air.”
“We’ll have more fish than we know what to do with.”
Parrish and Clyde exchanged a look and immediately began looking for rocks in the forest.
In no time, they found a big rock and couldn’t stop grinning.
Astrid was pretty psyched about ice fishing. The fish in this kind of lake are aplenty!
Seeing Astrid bolt towards the lake like a runaway horse, Elio quickly pulled her back, “I’ll go first. What if you fall in because the
ice is too thin?”

“If I can stand on it, then you’re safe.”
With that, Elio headed towards the icy surface.
Watching his towering figure disappear into the night, Astrid felt something stir inside her.
This guy...
Sometimes, he’s not so annoying.
After jumping around on the ice a bit, Elio signaled for Astrid to come over once he was sure it was safe.
Parrish couldn’t help but exclaim, “Rumors really are misleading. Everyone says Mr. Lampard is a strict guy, but he’s clearly a
total softie around his wife!” Clyde replied, “Wife? Astrid hasn’t said yes yet. Let’s go fish.”
Just as Astrid was about to use the ice auger, Elio took it from her hands, “I’ll do it.”
Astrid asked, “Do you know how?”
Elio retorted, “Don’t you know by now that I know?”
“Buzz off!” Astrid swung her foot towards Elio’s rear end, fortunately Elio dodged just in time and was not kicked.
Elio had already been kicked once, and this time he was prepared. Elio’s skills were on point, he drilled a hole in the ice in no
time.
Astrid was puzzled, “Elio, you’re very skilled!”
Elio replied, “To impress your father, I learned fishing. Sea fishing, lake fishing, I’m a pro at fishing now, there’s no fishing tool I
can’t use.” “That’s my father! My father!” Astrid glared at Elio, “Just help me drill the ice!”
Elio: “Okay.”
