Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239

None of this was what he had in mind!

“But I really have to thank you. If you hadn’t faked those reports, making me and Elio notice something fishy, we might not have found out that we were the ones that each other were looking for.” Astrid said.

Hawthorne started coughing violently right after. Over and over again, as if he were about to cough his lungs out, “I didn’t, Astrid; I didn’t, how could I do something like that?!”

“You’ve really crossed the line.” Astrid scoffed, “Stop playing dumb in front of me. I’m a professional actress; I can see right through you, just like the last time you faked being sick at my place. I had you figured out from the start; I just didn’t call you out on it.”

Hawthorne was dumbfounded.

Matthew asked everyone to go home when he saw the situation escalating.

The partygoers gradually left, leaving only Amanda, Astrid, and a few others.

Even now, Astrid still felt like she was dreaming.

She told the butler to fetch a medical kit, then found a syringe and skillfully drew a blood sample into a tiny vial. She then handed the vial to Amanda, “Please keep this safe. I have to go now.”

Amanda hurriedly grabbed her when she saw her leave, “Silly girl, I trust you. We don’t need to do a paternity test!”

“Thanks, but how are we going to shut people up without a paternity test? There was too much going on today; I may not be able to stay for your birthday anymore. I’m heading back now.” Astrid turned to leave, but Roman clung to her leg.

“Mommy!!! You can’t leave me again!”

Astrid couldn’t help but smile, “Mommy has some things to take care of; can I pick you up tomorrow?”

“No, I don’t want to be separated from Mommy!”
