Chapter 175
Gracie hugged Astrid tightly, “This is so freaking exciting. I know a genius!” “You’re bound to be famous soon. And you’re about to make a fortune!”
Astrid glanced at the overly excited Gracie and curled her lips in distaste. Was it about making high money?
She didn’t lack money.
As the sky gradually darkened, it was already seven in the evening when Elio got home.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. He then went to the back and gently picked up Roman, heading home.
Standing at the door, Wylie opened it for him as soon as he saw him and said in a low voice, “Amanda and Matthew are here.”
Elio nodded, walked in, and saw Amanda and Matthew sitting on the couch in the living room.
“I just heard from Lucas Lampard that Astrid has got her Ph.D.?” The elderly lady rushed over with her phone in hand. Seeing that Roman was asleep, she lowered her voice, “I’ve always thought you weren’t good enough for Astrid. Now I think you’re even less so. You guys don’t even have the same level of education; how can you be together?”
Matthew twitched his mouth in disgust, “What kind of logic is that? Who says people with different–levels of education can’t be together?”
“I saw it on the internet! Amanda was very serious, “I was watching a video the other day, and this boy was confessing to a girl. The girl said they couldn’t be together because they have a different vocabulary.”
Elio couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrows and patiently said, “Mom, I also have a Ph.D. The elderly lady muttered, “Astrid is too outstanding. I told you to study hard, but you didn’t believe me.”
“I’m gonna put Roman to bed first.” Elio didn’t want to listen to his mother’s nagging, so he carried Roman upstairs.
After putting Roman to bed, he quietly exited the room. His phone vibrated several times.
