Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Elios sudden proximity took Astrid by surprise

His breath invaded her personal space, and Astrid stood rigid, feeling awkward

But Elio just stood there in the same pose, not saying a word. His brow furrowed at the memory of Astrid playing cards with Colton. She was always anxious around him, but she could laugh so freely in front of Colton Did she hate him being near that much? “Why do you hate me so much?” Ello suddenly asked.

Astrid was taken aback, she hadn’t expected Ello to ask this question. She mumbled, “I don’t hate you. Who said I hate you?”

Elio heard her perfunctory response and his tone became colder, “Then go home with me.”

Astrid blurted out, “No!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a chill envelop her and quickly explained, “I’ve already arranged for a place with an agent. We don’t have any special relationship, it’s not appropriate for me to stay at your place”

“What kind of relationship do you think is appropriate?” Elio’s eyebrows twitched, “Boyfriend and girlfriend? Husband and wife? If we need a relationship to live together, we can go register for a marriage now.” Register for marriage??? Astrid was dumbfounded. What was going on? Why would he suddenly mention registering for marriage? Were they that close?

She was taken aback by his gaze. What the hell was he thinking? He was fine during the day, so why had he become so weird all of a sudden? “Is this elevator too slow? Why hasn’t it reached the ground floor after such a long time“” she thought.

She turned her head to look at the elevator button and realized that they hadn’t pressed the ground floor after entering! The elevator was still on the 21st floor! Oh my God!!!

“Ding” The elevator door suddenly opened, and Colton appeared at the door with an innocent smile.

At this moment, Astrid felt like he was her savior. She greeted Colton Immediately, “Colton, we meet again!”
