Astrid was warmed by Gracie's words, reaching out to gently pinch Gracie's cheek, "Gracie, I'm so glad to have you."
"Hell, I know I'm great, but you're in deep trouble right now! Someone's trying to hurt you!" Gracie was impatient and didn't know what to do, pacing anxiously.
"Gracie, do you think I'm an ordinary person?" Astrid suddenly asked.
Gracie shook her head, replying, "Definitely not!"
Astrid continued, "And do you think my brothers are ordinary people?"
Gracie said, "Absolutely not!"
Astrid said, "That's right, my brothers will protect me, and I also have the ability to protect myself."
She had always wanted to know who in the Lampard family was stirring the pot, and now that these people were taking action, it gave her the opportunity to trace the problem to its source.
Only by completely eliminating those people could Roman grow up happy and safe.
Listening to Astrid's words, Gracie knew that Astrid was determined.
She was worried but didn't say much.
Seeing Elio approaching, she straightened her face, "Mr. Lampard, Astrid has cried too much for you. If you let her get hurt again, I don't care if you're a big boss or not, I'll tear you apart!"
Elio was grateful to Gracie.
If it weren't for Gracie's help years ago, Astrid might not have had the chance to have a baby.
So, even though Gracie was shouting at him, he could only listen patiently, "Don't worry, I will protect her."
Gracie said, "Promises worth nothing, I need actual action!"
Elio said, "Unless I fall, I won't let anyone hurt her."
"You'd better keep your promise," Gracie felt bad. It was the kind of badness that comes from knowing Astrid is in danger but being powerless to help.
