Chapter 283
“It’s late, you should head home, we’re calling it a night.”
As Elio reached for the door, Yates stopped him with an outstretched hand, “Elio, you’re always surrounded by beautiful women and constantly embroiled in scandal with female celebrities, you’re not good enough for her.”
“All those rumors are bull. I’ve only ever had eyes for her, unlike you who could probably form a football team with your exes. Elio’s words made Yates freeze.
“What’s the big deal about having a few ex–girlfriends?” Yates didn’t let go, “Elio, listen to me, if you hurt her again, I’ll wreck your Lampard Group
tomorrow.”
Elio said, “You won’t get the chance.*
With that, Elio slammed the door shut.
Turning around, he saw Astrid standing at the bedroom door watching him.
“Elio, open up! Elio, leave here!” Yates’s shouts echoed from outside. Astrid, worried about getting complaints from the neighbors, opened the door.
Seeing Astrid in her pajamas, Yates looked hurt, “Astrid, why are you letting him spend the night?”
“Yates, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?” Astrid said with a hint of exasperation, “Go home. I’m tired, I want to sleep.”
“No, I’m not leaving, I’m staying here tonight too!” Yates knew Astrid wouldn’t throw him out, so he barged in, threw himself on the sofa and pretended to sleep.
He even started to snore.
Astrid was used to Yates’s antics and merely found them annoying: “Yates, how old are you? Still playing these childish games?*
Yates mumbled from the couch, “I don’t care, if he can stay, so can I.”
