He turned and walked over, lightly patting the man who was knocking on the door, his tone icy as he
asked, “Hello, who might you be?”
Jon was sucking on a lollipop, sizing Elio up, and asked in an unwelcoming manner, “And you are?
What’re you doing on Astrid’s doorstep in the middle of the night?”
His… Astrid! Elio was feeling a bit miffed.
Before Elio could even speak, the door opened.
The moment Astrid opened the door, Jon rushed over and grabbed her hand, pointing at Elio, “Astrid, Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
are you okay? I just got here to find this suspicious guy at your door.” Astrid glanced at Elio, “It’s a
misunderstanding, I’m fine. Stop blocking the door and come in.“.
Elio watched as Astrid led the man dressed like a rainbow into the house, his hand stopping the door
from closing as he walked in.
This girl was always trying to get rid of him, but now she was bringing this man home.
And from the looks of it, she was quite close to this guy. It was obvious they had a special relationship!
Seeing Elio enter the house, Jon immediately became alert, “What’s going on? Breaking into a single
woman’s house in the middle of the night, you….”
Jon’s words were cut off when he saw Roman sitting on the sofa.
He glanced at Roman, then at Elio, his eyes darting back and forth between the two before turning to
Astrid, “Astrid, is this him?”
“No, no!” Astrid quickly interrupted Elio, “It’s a long story, I’ll explain later.”
Elio eyed the hand Jon had on Astrid and this enraged him.
Astrid, unaware of Elio’s darkening expression, told sweaty Jon, “Jon, go take a shower first, you stink.”
Jon?
She won’t even call him by his name, but she was calling this man Jon?
And she was letting him shower at her place, they must be close!
Jon was too focused on Elio to care about a shower, “I don’t care who you are, get out of my Astrid’s
house now, or I won’t be nice!”
“You won’t be nice? I’d love to see what you’re gonna do!” Elio glared at Jon, tension filling the room.
Roman’s indifferent face crinkled, his father was actually arguing with someone.
What a childish father. Roman didn’t want this dad anymore.
“You dare offend me? You’re in for it today! No one can stop me, I’m gonna thrash you! Star, stay back,
don’t get yourself dirty!” Jon rolled up his sleeves, looking ready for a fight.
Elio didn’t say a word, but he slowly undid his tie, removed his suit jacket, and casually rolled up his
shirt sleeves.
It was hot outside, but the room felt chillingly cold to Astrid.
If these two actually started fighting, it would be a huge mess. This involved two families.
Seeing Jon was about to make a move, Astrid yelled out in fear, “Bro, you have a match in three days,
you’ll get suspended if you fight!” Brother?
Elio’s anger cooled instantly. This rude man was her brother?
Why didn’t Carson tell him that Astrid had a brother?
Things just got more complicated. He’d offended her family. His already serious pursuit of his wife just
got worse.
