Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269

These vulgar idol dramas were really harmful. He must watch less idol dramas in the future……..

Astrid and Chad discussed their strategy and then left with Roman.

After all, dinner was at night, she could still handle her own stuff during the day.

Elio wanted to tag along, but he got cold–shouldered.

Back in the car, he dialed Gracie.

As soon as Gracie heard it was him, her mood soured: “Mr. Lampard, what’s up?”

Elio: “Gracie, do you know Yates?”

Gracie: “Sure do, he’s a big shot at our school and is super tight with Astrid.”

Speaking of Yates, Gracie couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

If Yates hadn’t left for abroad, he’d be protecting Astrid, that kid wouldn’t have been taken.

Some things are just destined to be.

Elio: “They… just friends?”

“Well…” Gracie hesitated, there were things she didn’t want to spill to Elio.

But the hurt Astrid’s been through, it was fitting for Elio, the culprit, to make amends.

And she could tell, Astrid had a soft spot for this guy.

After a few beats of silence, Gracie started, “Yates and Astrid go way back, they’ve always been tight, Yates used to fight off bullies for her. When we were freshmen, Lucinda Irvine got a bunch of people to bully Astrid, Yates came in swinging a pipe and injured them, then he got expelled, his folks shipped him off abroad. Astrid always saw him as a friend, the night he left he confessed his feelings to Astrid, but she turned him down right there. Then they lost touch. I’m not sure what happened after, but I think they reconnected after Astrid left for abroad.”

Gracie spilled a lot about Yates, but one point stuck out.

Yates got rejected.
