Chapter 316
“Mr. Lampard, I heard you were here, but I couldn’t believe it.” A soft female voice drifted in from the entrance. Elio tumed his head, saw the person coming in, then slowly
stood up.
“Hi, Bernice. Elio greeted politely
Astrid’s eyebrows furrowed slightly Did Elio know Bernice?
After recent events, every time Astrid saw Bernice, she felt something off about Bernice’s gaze.
Bernice still looked at her with the same gentle eyes, but it always made her uncomfortable.
Bernice walked in, standing between the two of them, “Mr. Lampard, how’s your mom doing recently?”
“She’s doing well. Thanks for your concern,” Elio’s voice was indifferent. He quietly took a step back, putting some distance between him and Bernice
Bernice seemed oblivious to Elio’s deliberate distance, and continued with a smile, “I saw on the news that people online were saying you fancy Star. I didn’t believe it, but here I see it with my own eyes.”
“Star has a lot of admirers. She had many suitors in college, and each one was excellent…”
‘Bernice, I need to go film. I’m leaving first. You guys carry on,” Astrid didn’t want to hear more from Bernice and turned to leave.
“Of course, the more outstanding a person is, the more suitors they’ll have. But the one who will spend a lifetime with her will only be me,” Elio said, quickly catching up to Astrid
“Haha, really?” Bernice gave a dry laugh, “Mr. Lampard, I think it would be better if you kept a low profile. After all, Astrid’s career is on the rise. If she suddenly starts dating, it might have a big impact on her career.”
“And besides, I don’t think you and Astrid…”
“Enough,” Elio cut Bernice off coldly before she could finish, “I don’t like being interfered with. You’re a friend of my mom’s, but that doesn’t mean you can meddle in my love
