Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 471

"Astrid... Astrid..." His voice was a soft whisper in her ear, over and over again, "Astrid, can you forgive me?"

His breath tickled her ear, making her shiver slightly.

"Let me go first," she suggested.

Elio simply responded, "I won't."

Astrid remained silent. Initially, Elio was apprehensive, worried that Astrid would push him away as she usually did. However, her reaction was unexpected. Could this be a sign of some sort?

The hope ignited a spark of excitement in Elio, prompting him to scoop her up in his arms.

Astrid didn't resist or push him away, instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, which caught him off guard.

Astrid looked at him with a twinkle in her eye, "Shall we shower first?"

"Sure." Elio complied, gently setting her down. However, he couldn't shake off a nagging feeling that something was off.

They had two bathrooms in their home. Elio had just finished his bath when Astrid walked in.

The moment she entered, she turned off the bedroom lights and said, "Lie down and don't move."

Elio wasn't sure what Astrid was up to, but he decided to play along.

In the darkness, he could feel her getting onto the bed and slowly moving closer to him. His heart began to race, every second was torturous.

Her hand gently rested on his chest, causing him to shudder.

His body was burning with desire, his voice hoarse, "Astrid..."

"Elio, would you like an orange?" Astrid asked, holding up a slice of orange towards Elio.
